Recommended adjustments here and there when using the 4CM on an AXE FX III .......

Do any of you have some suggestions for where I should start adjusting things on my AXE FX 3 when using the 4CM? I have not used the AXE FX 3 in a 4CM setup with any of my amps but I have used my XL+ with success as well as my FX8. I was reading the AXE FX 3 manual and it said there was a 4CM...

Suggestions for the best way to use an XL+ with an amp in 4CM ......

I have a KSR Ares amp that does not have a designated "clean" channel so I wanted to use the XL+ in a 4CM set-up with the KSR Ares where I will use the KSR Ares for my rhythms/leads and the XL+ for the clean channel. I can set up a scene where the XL+ turns off FX loop (therefore, turning off...

Does the output jack need to be replaced after removing some EMG's?

I had paid a guitar repair shop to remove some EMG's (EMG-81 and EMG-SA) from my guitar and install some passive pickups (DiMarzio CrunchLab Bridge and Bare Knuckle Impulse Single Coil). We are not able to try the guitars out there due to their understandable pandemic precautions but I had...

Cygnus Question .......

I had updated my FM3 to the FW 4.00 and I had uploaded the new presets based upon the Cygnus firmware. I was expecting a change in tone and feel since I was going from Ares to Cygnus, however, I really didn't notice anything different from Ares to Cygnus and I usually notice them right away...

Changing the AXE FX III back to the earliest version ..........

I would like to conduct an experiment where I compare my XL+ with Ares 2 to the AXE FX III in it's earliest form. I would need the AXE FX III 1st firmware, the AXE Edit version that worked with it, and the original AXE FX III stock presets. Where would I find each of them? Also, would I need...

A Go-Fund-Me for Another AX8 Firmware Update

I can understand why there has been no responses to any posts regarding requests for an update since it is just not worth their time to do one. The AX8 sounds great in the current Q10 firmware but I believe it would benefit enough of us to have the Ares firmware (or a version of it) since I...

Master Volume Control for the FX8 ........

Is it possible to make one of the knobs on the FX8 a master volume? My friend was saying it is possible but I don't remember that being the case when I had owned one myself. Can anyone confirm that they did make one a master volume? Thanks ahead of time :)

True Bypass Effects Quality of FX8 Versus FM3

The FX8 "features an extremely high quality signal path to deliver ultra-low noise and pristine sound quality" (taken from the Fractal Audio website). I had the FX8 and I found the effects quality to be pretty damn good and it really did have true bypass. I felt it sounded better than the XL+...
