Feedback simulation - is it possible to fade in pitch block mix with a control switch?

I've got a song that I've set up feedback simulation (using Mark Day's method of a COMP and a PITCH block). But instead of assigning it to an external pedal to fade in the feedback, I would like to use the hold feature of a FC-12 switch. I've set the hold feature to be momentary, so that when...

Dialing Out High Gain Unwanted String Noise

I'm sure the tendency would be to say, "It's all in your playing technique." But I swear that some high gain tones/presets promote unwanted string noise and some high gain tones/presets serve to dampen it. What I'm wondering is which settings (amp block, cab block, gain pedals, etc) have an...

Using a right angle plug with a Tele

Anyone know of any tricks to be able to use a right-angle cable plug with a Tele? Because the plug jack is recessed in a Tele, a right-angle plug won't fit. So, I'm wondering if there are any solutions (longer right angle plug, after-market replacement jack that is not recessed into the body...

Selling the house and getting ready to hit the road full time in the RV. Because of limited space, I won’t have a dedicated area where I can leave my AxeFx and Atomic CLR set up all the time. It will be able to come out on occasion, but sometimes I won’t want to take the time to set it up and...

Fellow Axers: Been about 18 months since I have turned on my Axe II ( long story). I have FW 9.02 on my Axe-Fx, 2.15 fw version on my MFC-101, and no axe-edit installed because at the time it wasn't recommended to use it because of bugs when using Axe FW version 9 instead of 8. Now I see...
