    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 14.05

    Something is strange with the metronome, the volume outputs indicators don't move when the knobs are turned, however when you change the tempo, they do update. Also, I used to use output 2 to change the volume of the metronome, now it's controlled by output1, perhaps a setting has been...

    Don’t toss your FireWire interface so quickly, there are firewire adapters for thunderbolt (all versions) available from Apple. My new Mac has thunderbolt 3 ports and I’m still using my Presonus RM32ai. It continues to work just fine. If your current interface meets your needs it isn’t obsolete...

    USB static while recording into iPad

    Output Clipping

    Okay, I don't use this amp much, but I did notice you've boosted the 5 band EQ (Mark) up to +4.5 on the bass end and +4.5 on the treble end. Generally when I have digital clipping I look at the bass level in the amp first. Perhaps that's the normal setting for this Amp, but if you decided to...
