    Added feature request

    Hi, I realize this is only a legacy product issue, but if AxeEdit could display the VU page of the Utility button, I’d be able to continue operations even if my display eventually dies. My AFII is still the best money I’ve spent, thanks

    Hi Joker III, Pauly. I'll try both those things, thanks.

    Is this possible?

    Hi, I think I know the things to try, I've lowered the input gain, I've tried various master volume levels, I played with output compression, I tried saturation. None of the things I've tried have gotten me where I was on Ares 1.03. What I was wondering (is this possible, may not be) if...

    Is this possible?

    Sorry I wasn’t clear. What to change to get my favorite patch to sound the same under Ares 2 as it did under Ares 1.03. It had a nice compressed, buttery edge of breakup tone that became moderately distorted with hard picking or strumming. I’m not getting the same smooth distortion I got...

    Is this possible?

    Hi all, long time lurker, AFXII user. I have one preset, a variation of the Brit 800, that I use probably 75% of the time. I like the way every patch sounds better under Ares 2, except for my go-to patch. I don’t think it’s heavily modified, but haven’t been able to get it to sound the same...

    R.I.P. R Lee Ermey

    I read that he was the military advisor on "Full Metal Jacket" but wasn't going to be in the film. He persuaded Kubrick to put him in by giving a 17 minute tirade of drill instructor ass-chewing without repeating himself.

    After 10 years, I'm done...

    Well, you've got me there. I guess I was thinking of what I think is typically done in the studio, you mic the cab, then apply delay and/or reverb. I know one reason delay and reverb are typically? post-amp, so as to avoid adding distortion to delays and reverb and cluttering the sound, but I...

    After 10 years, I'm done...

    Hi, I just watched that video, and it occurred to me that there may be a function that could be added that would solve some of the issues that method produces. I didn't like the fact that you had to move what would normally be post-cab effects (reverb, delay, etc) to pre-cab. So (and maybe...

    1u Tube Power Amps

    The Mesa Boogie 20/20 is quality gear, capable of reasonably good volume. Far from flat response, but there's an easy "deep mod" (basically cutting one lead on each of two capacitors) to restore the bass. I haven't read of any negatives regarding the result, don't know how many have done it...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 7.01 Firmware Release

    No this means there are no more the latest 3 fw versions in the Axe FX I think, which means you can't just switch forward and back to different firmwares while the Axe is being loaded with the latest firmware. I hope this makes sense as this is not my native language. Rock guitar is your...

    There's something wrong with me. I liked the background music, the SG/Steinberger, and the Gold Top Les Paul. Remember, just because it's a model of a guitar that gets respect, doesn't mean that particular one was any good.
