    I have a five dollar question for Cliff, or dynamic convolution geeks.

    Cliff and other fellow modeling enthusiasts... This thread is only for the most anal, absolutely pants on head insane purists and geeks. Procede with caution. I made a long journey while recording an album that for all intents and purposes involved me learning production sort of from the...

    Is the FX8 too basic to be used as a complete midi controller?

    So I'm having trouble researching this because I'm at level 1 of midi competency here. Right now I have two heads capable of midi switching (Randall RM100, EVH 5153), a couple dedicated midi effects (strymon Big Sky & Volante) and I plan on putting in a couple RJM Effects Gizmos to run some...

    4cm users - Are you still using real drive pedals?

    I still use real amps, and I still have a ton of real pedals. I am LOATHING the idea of having to use some archiac switching system on my rack at $300 per 8 devices plus the floor switcher for $350 plus all the time programming it. Some problems that dissuaded me from this around the time of...

    Bass guys with UAD... Which do you use?

    So I'm sort of in a bind here. I'm having to make a choice between an AxeFX III and a UAD setup with their SVT package. They are literally dead nuts the same price when I factor in selling my FX8, which I adore. I would ideally like to pickup an AxeFX III, but at least one person I really...

    What makes the 5150 power section special? What dedicated poweramp cops it the best?

    I've seen some of the 8 string guys using 5150s as poweramps for the axe-fx. Problem is, they have no master volume =|. And they're not stereo. What's the closest tube option? How would you describe the 5150's power section?

    AB wet dry rig setup (dual mono?)

    So I think what I'm asking for might be impossible and might require a fancy A\B switch but I'll ask the pros here. I've got an A\B setup that is clean\dirty. My clean rig right now is a single clean head. (A) I have a "slave out" in the first head (B1 dry) which is basically a FX Send (POST)...

    Transparency vs Axe2

    I must admit, I'm not a A3 owner as I've gone FX8 4CM all the way. Modular specifically. But I saw Cliff mention the FX8 is bested only by the AFX3 in the transparency department. I had an early MKI Axefx II and really never got comfortable with it in 4CM, it wasn't good. It worked, but...

    What are proper levels in the 4 cable into the front of an amp?

    So I went straight into the front of the axe-fx, OUT1>front of amp and my tone is pretty chewed up. It lost a lot of attack and sizzle. I have the output knob at 12'. I started with no blocks, just straight line through. I want to sort this out before going deeper with the 4CM. Thanks!

    Body\Contour adjustment?

    So I was watching a video of someone who had a modded Friedman head and they had a body\contour knob they used to shift where the low end body of the amp was. How does that translate into the deeper amp parameters? I haven't played with them enough to know where that parameter is.

    Is it possible to route an instrument level out?

    So I'm wondering if I can get rid of an EQ pedal that I'm putting in front as a boost on a preamp I'm using. Currently Guitar>EQ>Preamp>Poweramp Wondering if I can, instead. Guitar>AXEFX II>EQ block>Instrument Level out>Preamp>Poweramp (using it as a boost) This is slightly more complicated...

    Output 1 & 2, stereo w/o stereo effects?

    Sort of a weird question, but I don't have a DAW right now to test this out. But my question is this. When you run an amp, without stereo effects, does it output in dual mono on output 1? The reason why I'm asking is I want to run 2 amps and use an effects loop to run analog effects through...

    Power Amp simulation\Tone stack and real power amp

    Just to check, I think I have this right. I'm trying to 1. Run a real 6L6 poweramp 2. Get real sag\saturation from the poweramp 3. Simulate the tonestack\power amp coloration from the amp itself So I have a theory that I want to confirm with the experts. 1. Assuming I'm using amps that are...

    Amp 1 to Output 1 left & right, Amp 2 to Output 2 left & right, is this possible?

    I'm trying to output the two virtual amps as two stereo outputs (4 total discrete channels). Is this possible? I see a lot of talk about one output to a cabinet on stage and one to FOH using the "copy method" but no discussions about a "two amp" or "bi amp" setup, where each amp goes to it's...

    Has anyone driven their axe-fx with a Roadking 2 and a cab?

    I've got this narrowed down between the PS2, Syn5050 a Randall from the MTS series and the Road King 2. Those that ran it in power amp mode (not just slave mode), how'd it work out? Did you have a chance to compare it to the PS2?

    2x Stereo output with effects loop and routing Q (Advanced)

    So I'm more of an intermediate user with some depth in programming but I'm starting to build out my rig right now and I'm not exactly clear on this, so really appreciate any help. I still want to retain the Axe-FX as my primary "head" so I don't think this qualifies as a "four cable" question...

    Closest I think I'll ever get to the fear factory tone - NO TONE MATCH

    Now lets be honest if I want to record songs that sound exactly like fear factory, tone matching is the way to go. But as everyone knows, it really sucks a lot out of the tone. So this is the closest I could come. I'm NOT playing a fear factory song because I've found that if you play almost...

    Some thrash\groove metal records

    This is more Fear Factory esc This is more White Zombie esc Still working on the mix, but I'm getting there. Just getting really sick of everything being "djent." I wanted an old school thrash tone with some new school grind to it.
