stream 2 amps over usb?

So I've done scratch guitar tracks with the FXII before. Just stream asio input into Reaper. But is there a way to stream 2 different "amps" if you will? I'd like to have an hot/gain track and another clean/direct track, all just through USB if possible. Thoughts?

recording: when monitoring through the axe fx ii phones, I can't hear anything anymore

this used to work flawlessly. but now I've updated to quantum and now I can't hear anything through my phones. Using FAS USB ASIO driver and ins/outs look fine. probably a setting in the axe fx.

effect like a sonic maximizer

Now I don't know what exactly these sonic maximizers do, but I do know if you over use it, it'll make your tone sound all scooped. But if used in small amounts, it can be useful for some actual amp setups. I was wondering if there is an effect in the axe fx that mimics a sonic maximizer.

pitch block issue

I'm trying to add a intelligent harmonizer to a preset. I want it "on" all the time. But when editing the pitch block, I don't get any pitch effect for fixed or intel harm. I can choose the other types and they effect the pitch, but not when I choose intel harm. any idea what I'm overlooking?

I've replaced the Matrix GT1000FX with a Mesa 2:100. I sold my MFC101 and Mission pedals and now use a Behringer FCB1010 controller. What does this mean? I have a bunch of extra cash in my pocket now and I'm much happier with my live gig sound. But I have a heavier rack to lug around...

can you guys point me to external switch?

I just need one little switch with LED indicator. I want to enable/bypass the filter block with a switch. I tried it with my simple hosa latching switch, however, I don't like it without a light indicator. Is there any switches with on/off indicator lights that work with the MFC101?

powering the Axe FX II (power amp that is)

So I run through a Matrix GT1000FX. Sounds great by myself at a normal volume. But last night I used it in a 5 piece metal band and my sound lost most of its balls. Seems to be my experience with solidstate amps so I'm thinking the Matrix is my problem. Anyone else have the same experience?

Power amp modeling when using matrix amp and guitar cab?

I'm pushing my AXFX2 into a Matrix GT1000FX and then into a vintage 30 loaded 4x12. Are people using the power amp modeling with this setup or do you turn it off? I was in the global menu turning off the cab stuff , but I think I like the poweramp stuff on. What say you forum?

passive FRFR solution?

So I love the idea of a powered FRFR (like a Mackie HD1221) for stage. But since I already have a matrix amp, I'm wondering if I can get the same results by utilizing a passive pa speaker. Is there such a solution that would work well with afxii -> matrix gt1000fx -> <some kinda passive pa cab>
