Compare patches...

Is there any way to easily compare the difference between patches? I've got two different versions of the same patch that should theoretically be very close settings wise. The second was copied from the first then tweaked slightly. The thing is they sound quite different and I can't seem to find...

How to tell if IR is UltraRez?

I have noticed that I can load UltraRez IR's into a Normal or Steareo res slot? How can you tell the difference between a UR and the old IR format?

Bass preset recomendations...?

Are there any great bass presets floating around. I'm heading to my bass player's tomorrow to knock out some bass lines. I wanted to experiment with using the Axe II to get a good sound. Appreciate any suggestions! ED:geek

Live sound for under $1000?

I see alot of solutions for live sound options for the Axe that are very expensive. I guess I'm talking about the FRFR style situation...? Are there solutions that might run under $1000 for a stereo monitoring live situation... and still sound decent?

Axe locks up when connected with AE3 while changing preset from the AXE

I was scrolling through presets using the wheel on the front of the Axe. It quit responding. I noticed at that point that I still had AE running on my system. I turned off the Axe then back on. AE reconnected. I did the same thing to test it... Axe choked and locked up again. It seems it doesn't...

Noodling on Cliff's mod'd VH patch...

I originally posted this on the FW11B thread. I figured maybe this was a better place. I loaded FW11B a few days ago. I like it. I checked out Cliff's VH patch earlier. I was having fun with it noodling some Van Halen tunes. I pulled up the layout to see what amp & cab combo it was... The...

Reamping... The definitive word?

I've searched the forum for posts on this topic. There doesn't seem to be much consensus. So, here are my questions... 1) Can the Axe2 be used to record the raw signal? I've read conflicting views... Some say you need a nice DI box... some say you can do it fine with just the Axe. I've tried...

Output question...

I've got a lead preset that I dig. It has a beautiful delay & verb that makes it a pleasure to play. I'm recording. Conventional wisdom says record with no effects. Here is the root of the question. Is there a way to route the signals like so: Out 1 and Out 2 contain the stereo output with...

Does the Axe have a Talk Box sound?

Seeking warm shredding tone...

I recorded the song in the vid below on a Peavey Triumph 60. That thing had a horrible muddy rhythm sound, but it had a lead tone that was balls out metal with the warmth of a great blues tone. The section at 1:44 in the vid highlights what I'm trying to recreate in the AxeFXII. It's not just...

Signal Attenuation from FX Send?

I've been experimenting with using Distortion Pedals and Preamps thru the effects loop on the AxeFX2. The level coming out of the output 2/FX Send seems to be attenuated like the volume knob on my guitar is turned down to 6 or 7. When I plug directly into these outboard units the signal is...
