    Let’s Talk Fuzz!

    Ok gang... I’ve been struggling a little to get my Fuzzface drive pedal tones to sound like my analog fuzzes. Sonically, the analog version sounds basically like the attached video. I’m using a bassman model through the 4x12 creamback H speakers. The amp is breaking up when you slam on it, so...

    FOH Soundman tone input...opinions needed

    My band is beginning our regional summer calendar with a new FOH guy. He's a much older gent than our previous guy...has tons of touring experience and a great ear. We hired him based on a recent festival we played and the conversations afterward. Great dude all around. That being said, he's...

    Quilter Tone Block as Power Amp for Traditional Cab

    Hi all - What are you thoughts about running a Quilter Tone Block as a mono power amp into a standard 2x12 cab? My thinking is that I would still run my Output 1 to FOH and use the cab on stage. Obviously, a Matrix seems like the best option, but the Quilter can also be used as a backup...

    Analog Drives in FX loop

    Hey Gang - So my plan with the FX8 is to run analog drives. I'd like to use the FX8's compressor and wah, though. Is it possible to run the drives in the loop of the FX8 and then output into the front of the amp? If inserted my drive in the chain and found that I loose everything after the...

    Transfer Blocks from AXE FX II

    Hi Guys - I'm about to pull the trigger on an Fx8 to run with my tube rig, replacing nearly all of my pedals. I also have an Axe FX 2 that I've used live and in recording situations for years. In my Axe, i have several delays and pitch effects that have become mainstays. I could just do...

    5 Cable Method [5CM]... is it doable?

    Hey Gang - I've been using my Axe 2 for recording for the past 4 years. But, I also have a custom built tube combo that I really love for live applications. I would love to incorporate my Axe FX for all my FX in a 4CM setup...but I'd also love to send a cabinet-modeled mono output to the...

    UltraRes Samples... how do I import them?!

    ok, I'm sure this is a dumb question and that I'm just missing something basic. When I unzipped the 6.02 firmware, there is a folder of "UltraRes Samples". I believe they're cabinet IRs with a .syx file extension on them. There are several I'd like to import, but I can't figure out how to...

    Drive Blocks: Barber Direct Drive

    Hey Guys - I'm building a new patch that mimics my tube rig. It's based around a dual amp clean/edge of breakup sound with a Matchless DC30 on the left and a Divided By 13 on the right. I want to get a sound and feel like my Barber Direct Drive. It's been my favorite and main overdrive...

    Am I Crazy? (Stop me now before I do something stupid)

    Gang - I've been rocking a lowly Axe Fx Standard and MFC for about 5 years now and they're my go to for gigging and recording. I've become so comfortable with it and am creating tones that people find inspiring...true tube dudes and modeling guys alike. I have an offer to let go of my...

    Rig scheme.

    Gang - Now that we're all thinking of removing our Axe Fx from racks and putting them on the floor via the Ax8, what does the rest of your rig look like? Are you guys planning on playing FRFR rigs? Are you hanging onto a small rack with a power amp in it and running a traditional cab...

    HELP! Lost Output Two!

    Hey Guys - Can you help me? I have a standard and today, I'm not getting any signal out of output two. Nothing in my presets has changed. Along with that, the output two pot on the front makes an audible scratching sound (like it's dusty) when you turn it and I have a digital clicking...

    Big Bottom (low end question)

    Axe Fxperts - I'm prepping the Axe for a tracking session. The tone will largely land me in a mid-gain Early 90s area, but likely with a slightly smoother top end on leads. I've built four amp patches, all with the same cabinet combination (mad oak basketweave TV mix and redwirez uber V30...

    Calling Ty Tabor!

    I'm not sure if Mr. Tabor surfs this forum or not, but on the off chance that he does... His tone at Stage 48 with the LP is just killing! I would love to get an eye (and ear) on the preset he's using in his Axe Ultra. Check it out: Kings X. Stage48, NYC 05/05/13 - YouTube

    Tonal Trouble - Plenty of bite, lack of grunt

    Hi All - Forgive me posting in the Axe 2 forum, but I noticed that this forum is much more active currently, and also figured that this discussion may benefit from the wisdom of the greater community. I'm listening back to rehearsal tapes and noticing that my tone is lacking the usual...

    Help: save my tone through in-ears

    Hi gang - I've been using the axe fx now for about a year and, in general, I like it. I've been running it through an onstage cabinet with FOH getting a fully modeled feed from output 1. I try and run stereo to FOH as often as possible. The band is moving away from wedges for a more...

    Hybrid Rig (Tubes and Axe)... Anyone tried this?!

    Hey Gang - So, I'm trying a new way of routing my live rig. I really love using the Axe in the studio, but live, i've the damnedest time getting used having my guitar return through monitor wedges, and I'm not as hip to FRFRs. I have a small power amp (Carvin DCM 150) and that does well...

    Tap Tempo Clicking Sound... What up?

    Hey Gang. I need some help. I'll lay out the issue with as much detail as I can. I'm trying to integrate my Axe FX into my tube amp rig. Currently, the signal path is: Guitar -> Sunface -> Polytune -> Barber Direct Drive -> Budda Superdrive -> Axe FX Input 1 [rear] -> Axe FX output 2...

    Suhr PT100 Crunch sound

    Hi Gang - I've heard a few people mention here that they are working on presets that mimic a PT100 head. The long and short of it is...would you share what you're finding? I've tried a few different amp models (Plexi 2, Marsha BE, Fryette D60M), and continue to tweak. But I'd be curious...

    Global Amps: Can you clear them out and start over?

    Hi guys - I got my Axe FX second hand and would like to set the Global amps for quick patch building and recall. I also really like the idea of being able to adjust say my main plexi patch and have it change the same parameters everywhere else that sound appears. What a great feature. I'm...

    Configuring The Wah Block

    Hi Guys - I'm up and running with my Axe Standard. man, this thing sounds incredible. The only stop where I'm having trouble is the programming of the wah. I've got a GCP connected with an Ernie Ball Jr. in Pedal 1. The signal is sent to the Axe on number 22, and the axe is set up to receive...

    Noob Question: Starter Patch

    Hi Guys - I'm completely a noob here with my Axe FX Standard. I've spent about 2 hours with Axe-edit and feel as though I've only cracked the surface. Basically, I feel as though I know enough to ask questions and that's about it. What I was hoping for was to find a space with user presets so...
