Hey all, just wanted to get back into backing track practicing, and i accidentally loaded A preset called Dreamy Lead from an earlier firmware, now uses IIC+ bright. Guess what? Sounds awesome! Playing on the Track wasn't rehearsed or planned, and I played only through the first two minutes, but...

Axe Fx II and Peavey IPR 3000 Cab setup

Hi, just wanted to share a few points about this combo. I picked up the IPR 3000 for smaller gigs and as backup to my main PA. Since I had it I figure why not try it with my Axe. I have gigged it twice with my Axe and a 1x12 cab with a Veteran WGS speaker, and in both cases it ROCKED. I know the...

USA PRE YELLOW AND GREEN- Cliff, you nailed it!

Long time triaxis user and still have one. These Sound amazing. How should I use the Power Amp/Master Volume controls here? FWIW I often gigged the triaxis using the Record Output going direct to board. and Presence should be rolled off? THANKS A TON CLIFF, TEAM AND ALL THE BETA TESTERS

What makes the Matrix 1000fx so much better than the Carvin 1540L?

I have a bunch of reasons to get the carvin power amp (price, PA use aswell, more power, good reviews)-can anyone really say its that much better? Want to use with PA cabs and my guitar cabs (EV speakers). Opinions? Thanks.

9.01 can only be described as...

FAT. Thick, rich, FAT tone that's not healthy for me in this busy season. Also, modeling gets more and more accurate which means my playing is exposed more and more every update :) GREAT STUFF. Put on the Euro Red patch with a drop more delay and played for a while in total ecstasy. Thanks...
