    Any chance of getting more colours?

    Probably 0. They haven't updated axe edit from the standard and ultra since the 2 came out. There would be no reason for them to go in and make one to the last version of axe edit for the 2 .

    Just wanted to say thanks.

    Hey guys. Its been a long time since I've logged in. I've been playing guitar since 2001 and bought the Axe Fx 2 MK2 right after it was announced. I've been enjoying it ever since. I was super active in the forum and in and out of metal bands from then, until mid-last year. I was diagnosed with...

    Andy Summers Bozo Review

    This is assuming we know the pre-text of the conversation. If they asked Summers to do an interview about the gear he used on his new album, then, that line of questioning would be warranted.

    MONO or STEREO for Backing Tracks live?

    A lot of house sound guys I've used run a 2 guitar band panned about 70% each way. I would rather have each panned in stereo. It depeneds on style/gain/tone. It basically depends on what you're going for.

    Yamaha HS8 Users: How do you like it with Axe?

    I can't hear much under 60 hz through mine. However I don't have the room to set them up right. They need to be setup away from walls and your room needs to be sound treated. Other than that, they're super clear and reveal almost every mixing/performance mistakes you may make.

    Guitar Brightness – Raw Tone vs Album Tone

    A common trick when recording heavy guitars is getting a high-end fizz. You have to get a decent one and when you double track and throw in a mix, it makes it sparkle! It's completely achievable with the axe fx and has been done many times. You just didn't realize it.

    How to get a good bass tone with a Standard Axe-Fx
