    Looking to match a digitech whammy pedal

    hey all, I do not own a digitech whammy pedal but I am looking to either purchase one or create one with my axe fx ii. The issue I have of course with creating one is that I don't have a pedal in my possession to copy. Has anyone had any success in doing this? Could you make any suggestions...

    Where to find perfect pedal board

    This pedal board is the DUO 34 from Temple Audio. The second photo shows the pedal plates that stick to the pedals. The pedal plates then lock in with that screw/knob seen there. The LF pedal is 22 1/4" long. I believe the MFC is shorter though I could be wrong. The DUO 34 has 32 1/2" useable...

    Axe-FX II, Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, iMac 27 and SPDIF help needed

    Just a quick update. It seems as though the popping and audio delay occur and are most uncontrollable when I have no other instruments plugged in any other inputs on the Saffire Pro. This morning I powered up and the popping was back. I recalled that when I got the popping to go away I had a...

    My main goal for putting this all together was to use the saffire as a digital mixer. Pretty much turn on the axe, the saffire, monitors, plug in everyone else's audio (bass, vocals, second guitar) and have a jam session, possibly record it. Can I do this using the usb method explained above...

    Axe-FX II, Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, iMac 27 and SPDIF help needed

    It seems like the clipping is occurring with default presets only. When I use a preset I created, the volume (not tone) is much lower and the clip light is not on. I do also notice an added distortion/clip sound on the presets that clip. When I lower the output and avoid the output clip light...

    Creating an UltraRes IR with an old wav capture

    First the Kemper tone matches the amp/cab using the mic. Then you play a guitar through the amp to "fine tune" the Kempers model. I would think that technically, the Kemper is modeling the guitar and pickups as well since it's using the signal that comes through them. The thing is, if you...
