    Is it possible to set up a global pitch block?

    Hi all, In my band's set I need to alternate between two tunings depending on the song and use the pitch block to achieve this. I would ideally like to have one set of patches for the whole set and be able to apply a global pitch block to them when appropriate, is that possible? Currently I'm...

    Palmer Macht 402

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with the Palmer Macht 402 poweramp? Opinions seem to be a little thin on the ground because it's not a particularly well known amp. Many thanks in advance for any help :)

    FRFR sounds terrible to my ears compared to poweramp/cab. What am I doing wrong?

    Hey guys, so I'm used to playing the axe through a poweramp and 2x12 cab and it sounds absolutely phenomenal, but whenever I hook it up to my Yamaha HS8's to do some recording, it sounds pretty awful in comparison. I make all the necessary changes in the global and I/O menus, and try tweaking...

    Axe to power amp + cab but using studio monitors for backing tracks

    Hi all I much prefer the tones I get using a power amp and cab setup, but I like to use my studio monitors for playing backing tracks and such. My question is, is there a way to set up the axe fx so that I'm getting my tone out of my cab but also using it as a sound card and getting the...

    Super Quick High Gain Rhythm Patch Demo

    I made a thread a week or so ago about how cranking the master volume really made my rhythm tone come alive, and here is an ultra brief demo of the result! It's a stereo patch with a blend of FAS modern II and Spawn Q-rod 2nd panned hard left and right, and to my ears sounds pretty nice.

    Potential high gain tip? I dunno, it worked for me

    I was playing around with my main high gain patch today (FAS modern II + Spawn Q-rod 2nd) and discovered something that finally got it where I wanted it to go. Basically I was after something periphery-esque - but not in an overtly djenty kind of way, more of that smooth gain structure with a...

    Hum/Crackle Problem

    I've had a persistent problem with a crackly/buzzy sound from the axe fx for some months now, across multiple firmware's, including 15.02. The noise is very loud and obvious and is driving me nuts as it renders the axe almost unusable. It seems a lot quieter with my les Paul, but with my PRS SE...

    Between The Buried And Me Extremophile Elite Cover

    Hey guys, so I'm doing a complete playthrough of The Parallax II: Future Sequence in bits on youtube, and this is the third part. I'm very happy with the tones I got here, to me they sound very close to the recording, so if any of you are interested in the patches, just say so and I'll share...

    Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time V2.0

    I updated my somewhere in time patch and thought I'd share in case anyone else fancies giving it a try. Adrian's tone on that album is in my opinion the epitome of guitar tone, truly magical. This is as close as I've got, and sounds pretty much spot on through my rig (les paul and Yamaha HS8's)...

    Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time Tonematch

    Hey guys, tone matched this album - it's very close from what I can tell, although I've barely tweaked it at all yet. What do you think?

    Downgrading to FW9

    I've spent many hours now trying to nail a high gain rhythm tone in FW11, but it's just not working for me. I got my axe II when FW10 just came out, and everyone was saying how FW9 was smoother and more polished sounding, which is basically what I'm after for now, so I think I'm gonna have a...

    'Grounding Issue' Style Hum

    Hi guys, I'm very confused by something. About a month ago I got a brand new PRS Custom 24 7 string which I love. I've been playing it exclusively through the axe and have always noticed a slight hum whilst actively playing under high gain (beyond the normal noise) which is remedied by touching...

    How to update presets for V11

    Hey guys, sorry if this has been covered somewhere (I had a look) but I'm in a rush, I'm off for a recording session with the axe in a couple of hours and I'm trying to get to grips with the new firmware. I have updated to V11, installed Axe Edit 3 and downloaded the new presets, but how do I...

    AXE-FX II UK Price

    Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I'm due to order an axe II tomorrow (completely ecstatic btw), and I'm just wondering exactly how much this is going to cost. On the G66 website it lists it at 2349 euros, which equates to roughly £2010, but I've heard of people paying about £200 less...

    Output Confusion

    Hey guys, I'm due to pull the trigger on an axe II in about 3 weeks which I'm insanely excited about, and I'm wondering if you can help me get my head around how to set it up - In preparation I have bought an orange 2x12 (16 ohms) and an EHX magnum 44 power amp (its a temporary solution for...
