    How can I plug my tube amps into Axe to hear using headphones?

    One of my amps is a THD Univalve. It has a guitar-level output on the rear. I frequently run it into the front of the AxeIII, while at the same time running the speaker out to a 4x12 cab. It works great, and I can mic and record the cab while also recording the cab sims.

    Remember the dead Jammit app?

    Tried that route. Now that I think about it further, I may have had an extra set of inputs running to my studio monitors (they have two sets of inputs), running Jammit from the internal soundcard, feeding both signals at he same time.

    Remember the dead Jammit app?

    Anyone remember the Jammit app? It operated with multitrack recordings, scrolling tabs, etc, and let you mute out instruments. A few years back, Jammit disappeared, shut down their authentication servers (which were needed to use the app at all) and ran away with the money people spend...

    Switching from the II to the III - Motivations/Satisfaction

    Is there a pickup that helps the Axe FX II be most versatile?

    This is correct. Ohms is not a good determination of output. You want output? Look at millivolts. It's very easy to have a 10 or 11k pickup with less output than, say, a 9k pickup. To stuff 10 or 11k on a humbucker bobbin, you need to use 43awg wire. Which means less turns of wire, vs a...
