Moving presets containing blocks saved as global

I imagine this has been answered before but my search didn't turn up anything. If I move a preset containing blocks that were saved as Global Blocks to another memory slot, will other presets linked to those Global Blocks unlink, or change?

Using an iPad for live performance

I'm thinking of building a little live setup around my iPad to use as a backup to my Axe-Fx rig, local gigs, etc. I'm stuck on which audio interface to get. I'd like to stay in the $150 to $200 price range as I won't be using it all that often, so the Apogee Duet and the like are out of the...

Boss FV500 "Dead Spot" Woes

I'm using two FV500s as controllers and I love them, but the dead zone at the beginning of the pedal's travel is frustrating for volume control. I fooled around a bit with rate, scale, etc, to no avail. I know that a physical shim would fix the problem, but I'm asking first if anyone here has...

Non-US AC? No problem?

Got a gig in Australia this week and I'm taking my Axe-Fx. I shouldn't worry because the American units can run on 220v, right? I know the manual says it's fine, but I'm a little freaked out about it. Do any Americans here have any experience/trouble with overseas voltages?

4CM Humbusters on A2 outputs only?

I've researched and just wanna be clear before I order cables. I'll be using my Axe-Fx in the FX loop of a combo amp as a secondary rig and I understand that I need Humbusters for the amp input and loop input. Do I use a Humbuster for the amp's loop output back to the A2 as well?

Using an old Windows XP machine and it would be lovely if Fractal Bot would remember the path to its folder. Having to do a lot of drilling down every time I upload anything...when I'm trying out a folder of 150 AxeChange presets it becomes a bit maddening. :-)

Ethercon or 7 pin MIDI?

Still waiting on ancillary switches, cables, and pedalboard and, of course, the MFC and I'm ruminating over options. I'm guessing Ethercon is the way to go for connecting the MFC, but I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advantages to using MIDI? -- Bill
