    Looking for a small hardware unit that can replicate the Axe's envelope controlleri

    Hi all I'm looking for a small hardware unit that can replcate the Axe's envelope controller. I'd like to expand the Axe's envelope control by running external audio sources as extra envelope controllers into the expression pedal inputs. I've tried the Copilot Autodialer but need something...

    How to Set ADSR To Behave Like Envelope To Set Up A Volume Ducker?

    Hi all I've set up a volume ducker that works as follows: Input 3 is the main signal path with a Vol Block in line. Input 1 is the trigger for the ducker The ducker is achieved by modifying the Vol Block (for In 3) with Envelope (and Input 1 as the Envelope Source). I've dimed the low...

    Question About Herbie Channel 3 and Diezel Herbert In General

    Something i've loved about Herbie Channel 3 since the Axe II days is that it has a real tightness in the low end. It sounds like this is achieved by having quite a lot of low cut in the preamp modelling of the Herbie, even with the actual low cut control disabled, so i was curious if any...

    Wish Pitch Block: VG-99/SY 1000 style Preset User Scales (programmable within Custom Shifter) instead of Global User Scales.

    I'd love to see an addition to the Pitch block that would allow the user to trigger harmonies not based on scales but on the actual note being played. The VG-99 has a really powerful Harmonist effect that allows you to do just that...so for example, if you play an A, it will give you any two...

    Wish Multiple Simultaneous Envelope Controllers & All Inputs as Envelope Sources With L/R/Stereo Selectable

    It would be great to expand the Envelope controller so that more than one of these is available at any time. For example, this could work really well for multiple side chain effects per preset, so that, for example, one Block's bypass state could be controlled by Input 4's Envelope, while...

    Wish Dedicated Ducking Mode In Gate/Expander Block (like Drawmer DS 201)

    A really awesome feature would be for the Gate/Expander block to have a dedicated Ducking mode which would perform the opposite function of a gate. The Drawmer DS 201 rack unit has Gate or Duck as it's selectable function per channel, allowing you to mute one signal via either an internal or...

    Using the Cab Block's Speaker Size Parameter As A Formant Shifter

    I seem to remember Admin M@ mentioned several years ago that the Speaker Size parameter is similar to a formant shifter. Is there a way to set the Cab Block up so that it doesn't colour the incoming audio? I'm wondering if this would involve tone matching the incoming audio to itself, and then...

    Multiplexer: Is there a way to toggle between two or more Rows via Envelope?

    Hi all Is there a way to use the Envelope modifier or ASDR to toggle between Rows in the Multiplexer so that every time you pick a note, it changes Row (eg switching between Row 1 and 2 or cycling through all the Rows)

    Using Envelope to toggle between two effects like a latching switch..is this possible?

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure out a way to achieve the following: I have the guitar signal going into the Axe. I have two effects set up in parallel, with the signal going to either of the two effects. I'd like to set things up so that every time i hit a note or chord, the signal switches...

    Wish Axe III & FM3: Control Pitch Block Voices With Midi Notes (Like Meris Hedra)

    I was thinking it would be a killer feature to be able to play the harmony voices in the pitch block just like the Meris Hedra. This would be a wish for both the III and FM3. If Midi Note isn't possible, i wonder if each of the 4 Pitch voices could be controlled via Midi note by converting the...

    Wish Synth block..tracking lower than a low G on a bass guitar or lower

    Hi guys Apologies as I’ve asked this question before re the Axe II and was hoping that the Axe III would have an expanded tracking range for bass guitar. Having tried the Axe III’s synth block with a bass it seems the unit doesn’t track any notes below G1 on the low E string of a bass guitar...

    True Bypass & All Analog Signal Path Possibility for Switchblade Style Routing

    Hi M@ Very excited about the Axe III. A couple of questions... - When running 4CM is there a way to set up the unit to have two analog signal paths within the grid? For example could an effect block be added in parallel to a clean analog signal path before it goes to the Axe's outputs or is...

    Removing/Replacing Front Handles To Fit Axe In SKB Studio Flyer 4U

    Hi folks I just got an SKB RSF4U Studio Flyer and the Axe II's handles stick out too much to be able to close the rack case. I seem to remember that on the Mark 1 units the handles can only be removed by opening up the unit. If so, what is the safe way to do this and are there any generic...

    Double Tracker patch..try and tweak!

    Triggering FX Bypass with Pitch Controller: What is the range of pitch detected?

    Hi guys I was wondering if anyone knows what the range of pitch is in the pitch controller. I am trying to control and fx block's bypass state with the pitch controller, so that the effect is only on when only notes below E1 (low E on a bass guitar) are played on a 5 string bass's low B...

    Wish External Switches: ability to send multiple Midi messages per switch

    The external switches are great. It would be even better if each switch could be assigned to send more than one Midi message. For example, if using a Mission SP 1 or any external switch, you could assign it to switch two or more effects (or pieces of gear in a Midi loop switcher) on or off...

    Pitch: 1 expresion pedal for octave up and another for octave down on the same block?

I can't see a way to achieve this because the control modifier can only be set to one expression pedal at a...

    Definition Control in Amp Block: Any real tube amps that have something similar?

    I know that the definition control shapes the high end before it hits the input of the amp block, but was wondering what exactly this is. It sounds like it shapes the tone around the 1k area, and really tightens up the low end for very low tunings, much like an eq in front of an amp. Also, do...

    Making a convincing double track effect with the Axe II

    WISH: Ability to have MFC preset names in Axe FX mode rather than Axe preset names

    Plexi Amp Blocks..big difference in gain with amp & cab sims off, into tube power amp

    I noticed that there's a big drop in gain on the Marshall Plexi amp blocks when using the Axe II as a preamp only with power amp and cab sims off running into a real tube power amp, compared to just running the Axe II direct into the PA with the sims on. I'm assuming this might be because the...

    SONG MODE display to show SONG NAME & PRESET NAME on each preset in song mode
