I‘ve been waiting to buy an EV2 for a few months as they’ve shown out of stock. Now the EV2 doesn’t show up on the “order page.” Any info on availability?

H9 in AX8 Efx Loop tone?

I put an H9 in the Efx Loop of my AX8 and find the tone a bit off. By off I mean it has a nasally thin sounding mids thing that is very noticeable to me. Efx loop is late in the chain after the amp and cab. Anybody else experience this when first putting an H9 in the chain? If so, how did...

No output signal after copying a preset to a new location?

Perfectly working preset on my AX8; copied the preset to a new location in AxEdit where I plan to make some adjustments; no output. I’ve stared at AxEdit layout for a while and switched back & forth between presets and see nothing as to why there’s no output? Ideas on where to look? Experience?

Volume Pedal, to aux or not to aux?

For volume pedal, EV2 or EV1, why would you run it to aux with a volume block versus just routing your input through the pedal like an analog rig? Pros v Cons?

Any work on Delays in FWv14 ?

Just upped to Firmware v 14 after sitting out a few updates. Is it my ears or are the Delays changed? I've been playing v10 w/o changing settings for months (really happy w/ this batch of presets) and when I went to v14 last night my delays seemed more pronounced to my ears. Took the week off...

Never thought this would happen!

Got my Axe II all rigged up and comfy about 6 mos ago: patches I like, pedal board tight around the MFC, comfortable making tweaks, etc. Now I'm looking over my gear room and see dust collecting on my amps and pedals. I've actually preferred the Axe rig over my /13, Mesa, Fender and...

Volume boost best practice?

Please offer sage like guidance to an Axe freshman. Steadily working out my Axe path and see several paths before me along the way to volume boost / clean boost. I've dabbled with a null Filter and see some cliiping issue with Fil on versus very low level w/ Fil bypassed. It seems fair to ask...

Help with MFC IA editing please

First time editing MFC IA switches. After changes to switches 6 and up, my preset switches 1 - 5 require a double tap to engage. And if I don't double tap, the preset name associated w/ the location of the first tap, moves to the next location tapped? Very confusing. I'm sure I did something...

MFC101 IA and ext SW control ?

Can you have an MFC101 ext switch clone / control the same effect block as an MFC IA switch? Specifically I'm looking to have an external switch in addition to IA for clean boost (6dB filter boost) and another for tap tempo. It would be really cool if the MFC led tracked the ext switch.
