If you like amp x, try amp y

I was a long time AxeFx II user and have recently picked up the FM9. I find myself constantly gravitating toward 4 or 5 amps. With the numerous amp options, I'm curious if there are some I'm missing out on. Of course, I'm working my way through trying them all, but I'd love some extra opinions...

Switching from VHT 2/50/2 to 6505+ as power amp

I typically use a VHT 2/50/2 as a power amp to power a 2x12 w/ Celestion Vintage 30s. I'll be traveling to Europe in May and I'll have to use a 6505+ as my power amp instead of the VHT (running into the return of the FX loop). Does anyone have any suggestions as far as parameters to focus on on...

Regarding the level parameter in the Drive block...

Speed of various methods of MFC connection

New MFC owner here. I came from a Rocktron Midi Raider and I'm absolutely loving the MFC. I have a pretty simple question: Is the speed of all the methods of connection (ethercon, FASLink, 5 pin midi, 7 pin midi) the same? I get the argument for durability and whatnot, but I'm curious if...

Hello, Relatively new user to the axe2... I'm curious if anyone has any patches they've created for really clean, ambient stuff? I'd be interested in hearing what others are coming up with... I'm typically using the Twin Verb amp with heavy delays and reverbs. The reverbs seem...
