    Show your Taylor

    That pretty much coincides with what I've seen online. I mostly use a suede strap anyway so perhaps it's something that wouldn't be a big deal. Thanks! I agree about the build quality for sure. Every Taylor I've ever played has been great. Unfortunately nobody around me has a T5z in stock...

    Show your Taylor

    Some really great looking guitars everyone! For those of you with the T5Zs, I've read online that they can be a bit neck heavy. Does anyone here have that issue? I've been awfully close to pulling the trigger on one the last couple of days, but that possibility is making me hesitate as I...

    Fryette D60 More not enough gain?

    I really don’t think this is a case of people recognizing saturation or compression vs actual distortion. I’ve never played through the actual amp, but have listened to many many examples of it. All I have to compare it to is from what I remember when I first bought my Axe II in 2012. The...

    Fryette D60 More not enough gain?

    I posed this question back in 2017. The model used to be my go-to from the II days. Early on, it was a high gain monster. After one of the updates, it changed pretty drastically. We never really got any sort of official info on what changed...

    Replacement 12" speaker ideas

    Thanks for the reply. I had an active wedge with the Eminence Beta 12CX. I never got along with it for some reason. I found myself having to make pretty major EQ adjustments to getting it to be tolerable, and even then it seemed to lack “something.” I’ve since sold that, and now have the EV...

    Replacement 12" speaker ideas

    Hey everyone, I have a Xitone MBritt Cab that I bought several years ago. I love the idea of having an all in one backline solution, but it never quite worked out for my live use, mostly due to that I believe the speaker (celestion FTX1225) is blown. I bought the cab second hand, and I would...

    Input Clipping Thread

    Thought I would chime in with this as I experienced it for the first time at a gig the other night. I had my input sensitivity set at 31% as that seemed to have plenty of headroom when playing at home. When I play at home I usually use a regular cable or a little NUX wireless system. When I...

    Limited Edition Silverburst EBMM Stingray RS Demo/Review

    Great to see another Governor owner around! Great video and really nice tones. Couldn’t agree more on the Stingrays, just love them. My 3 definitely get more play than anything else. I have other guitars that I feel “should” be my favorites, but the Stingrays just have a feel that I really vibe...

    Bug? A/D Sensitivity Change?

    Can confirm this has been happening to me intermittently as well.
  10. Sfalsetto

    How do you maintain the amp settings to easily/quickly audition different variations of a particular amp model.

    I would think scene controllers are your best bet here. Attach up to four parameters to scene controllers and assign the values in the controller menu. Then when you change the amp type, those values will stay the same. That’s how I’ve done it in the past.

    Foot switch quits working randomly

    I can confirm this happens with my FC12 pretty frequently. Almost every time I power it up. It’s fine for a little bit, then some switches stop responding.

    Any EBMM owners?

    Thought I’d post these as they’re all fairly new to me. I have several Kiesels that have been my main guitars for a few years but was tempted to try the stingray after reading so many wonderful things about their guitars. Those necks are really something special! Bought the white one, then the...

    Looking for a power amp

    I don’t see a lot of talk about it, but check out the Orange Pedal Baby 100. I have a matrix that I keep at home, but I gig with the orange. I use it to drive an avatar 2x12 and couldn’t be happier. Have also owned a powerstage 200, 700 and velocity 300. By far I prefer the orange to all of...

    Mastodon - Hushed And Grim

    We definitely have similar taste in music haha! Love me some Mudvayne. Yeah like I said above, each of their releases since I began listening have resonated, and are in pretty consistent rotation for me. Just great songwriting that seems to evolve with each album, and fantastic tones. Those...

    Mastodon - Hushed And Grim

    My favorite band by quite a margin. They just get increasingly better with each release. First heard Crack the Skye when it came out, and couldn’t stop listening. I think Emperor of Sand is their best album comprehensively, but Crack the Skye holds a special place for me. Love Hushed and Grim...

    XiTone levels

    Bump for some help hopefully. Really just trying to find out if the limit LED is a clip indicator. I also see that there is an LED labeled "Signal." That one hasn't lit up at all from what I've seen. I know that Mick customizes the DSP, so it doesn't necessarily match the description in the...

    XiTone levels

    Hi everyone, I ordered a XiTone active wedge at the beginning of April after being told I would have it by May and have not yet received it. I emailed Mick asking for an update on the active wedge, but never received a reply. As I’m quickly approaching my first gig in some time, I needed a...

    Matrix bridge mode

    Thanks for the replies guys. I haven’t messed with it yet, been a little short on time. I think I’ll play it safe and try the above suggestions first before attempting bridge mode. I appreciate the input.

    Matrix bridge mode

    Thanks for your reply. So am I correct in understanding that it only uses the full 1000 watts at 8 ohm with level at full capacity? Thus half way would be approximately 500 watts? Sorry, just trying to understand. The Mesa cabinet is rated for 240 watts.

    Matrix bridge mode

    I’m actually using output 2 out to the cab. I have output 1 setup with a cab block to go direct once we’re playing again. I’ll bypass that and use just output 1 with the settings you’ve suggested to see if there is a noteable difference. I’m using my own presets, really just one preset...

    Matrix bridge mode

    Thanks for your reply. I could probably use a touch more mids, but I am pretty happy with the tone overall. I’m more or less just trying to get an idea of the safe range of power from the matrix.

    Matrix bridge mode

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the matrix gt1000fx using with a cab. I have a mesa standard traditional 4x12, powered with a matrix gt1000fx, using either my axe-FX III or FM3. Right now I have it connected with just output A feeding the cab. The Matrix channel A volume is up almost...

    If you were to buy a Taylor acoustic

    Pretty much agree with this exactly. If you're set on a Taylor, my vote goes for the 814CE. A few years ago when I was shopping for a really nice acoustic, I was dead set on a 614. I thought I wanted the bright sound from the maple. After trying a couple, it was just too bright. I went for...

    New Suhr has "dead" notes :(

    I have never had the privilege of playing a Suhr but I’ve definitely had a similar issue with a tele that I used to own (note the “used” to). I noticed it when playing an A on the 10th fret of the b string. It just died out very quickly. I tried various brands of strings, various gauges...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.04

    Firmware sounds killer. Haven't had a chance to dive into the triple crown yet but looking forward to it. I am also having problems with the FC though. I have an FC-12 on 1.10, and whenever I bank up, it is increasing by three banks at a time. Bank down is working as it always has. Nothing...

    A/B With Guitar Cab and Matrix GT 800FX

    Just to get an idea of your test, approximately where do you have the output on the matrix as well as the axe?

    Having trouble with Axe III

    The sound is much less discernible through headphones. Hi Chris, I made the preset from scratch just by looking at settings. I figured that was the most full proof way to make sure nothing was being transferred strangely. Thanks for this info Cliff. I remember reading about the difference in...

    Having trouble with Axe III

    Hey everyone. I've been a proud Fractal user for many years. Have had my Axe Fx II since 2012 and have had the III since it first came out just about. I've mostly played using headphones but recently my living situation changed, allowing me to pump up the volume a little bit. I have a Matrix...

    Quality of everything is getting worse

    Literally just went through this with computers about a month ago. I also have a 2012 MacBook Pro that was reaching the end of its life. I was really considering a Dell XPS 15 but I just couldn't get over the issues I kept reading about. I refuse to buy a new MacBook Pro, especially with the...

    Suhr vs PRS vs ??

    I can’t speak to the quality or playability of a Suhr, other than what I’ve heard or read which is that they are fantastic. I do however own two Kiesels. Both of them are singlecuts and I absolutely love them. The first one I bought was right before they changed to Kiesel, so it’s a Carvin...

    FC-6 and Increment/Decrement Preset via external switch

    Thanks for your reply. Sorry I should have clarified. I meant a bank of 5 switches on the controller. How I currently use my mfc is the bottom 5 switches as presets, the rest as IA’s, some scenes, etc. So with the FC, I am hoping to have the bottom row be presets, and then be able to bank...

    FC-6 and Increment/Decrement Preset via external switch

    Hi everyone, I’ve been following this thread closely. I’ve read through the manual and explored the MIDI/Remote options in my Axe III. I don’t see this as a possibility, but thought I might ask anyway. Can bank inc/dec be assigned to external switches? I’m planning on purchasing the FC-12...

    Kiesel No More

    I have two guitars made by them (1 is a Carvin bought in 14 and the other is Kiesel bought last year). Both are incredible instruments, and the customer service was great. My Kiesel is a silverburst which was an Option 50 build so I dealt with one person from the onset of the order to the...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 10.01 Firmware Release

    Thanks for checking. Away from my Axe right now, but I’ll check again in a bit and see if there’s something else that might be the issue.

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 10.01 Firmware Release

    Firmware sounds killer! Thank you for all of the hard work and dedication. There is one bug that I've found on my mark 1. When changing banks via my MFC, I lose output to output 1. Output 2 still behaves properly. VU meters show signal and input lights are also indicating signal. The only way...

    Not a Bug Output just drops

    Can confirm this behavior on 10.01 (mark 1). It happens to me when I switch banks via the MFC. The only thing that brings the output back is turning off my Axe and turning it back on. Only drops output 1 though, output 2 is still working when Output 1 drops out.

    New computer suggestions?

    Don't post ever really, but follow the forum pretty frequently. Funny enough this exact topic has been on my mind recently. I currently use a MacBook Pro 15 as my main computer. I have a degree in Audio Production and primarily use Pro Tools (what I learned on and am most comfortable with)...

    Fryette Deliverance Model Question

    Hi everyone. Long time member here but this is my first post. I've had my Axe-Fx II Mark 1 since 2012, and my main patches have used the Fryette Deliverance models pretty exclusively for as long as I've owned it. I just updated to firmware 8.02 from 6.03, and noticed the D60 models have...
