Headphone Output vs Output1

Thanks to everyone on the recent input! For LiamH, the monitor models are the Media One 5a (a few years old now - don't think they sell this model currently). But your input on leaving the FXIII level at noon and just turn up volume on monitors is probably the way I will go. This is a pretty...

Headphone Output vs Output1

I got a set of cables that I ran from the Output 1 L and R to the Studio Monitors. As expected, this sound is drastically lower than when I am running the cable from the headphone output (as mr_fender mentioned earlier) on all presets default and purchased. I guess my dilemma is trying now to...

Headphone Output vs Output1

Thanks all - I've just ordered two FAS humbuster cables so when they get in, I'll give them a try to see if that changes things.

Headphone Output vs Output1

Thanks all for the input. I actually am experiencing what I think is the opposite problem - my purchased presets (that have an Output 1 and Output 2 block in the chain) sound lower than something like a 'normal' Fractal default preset with only one Output block (ie Dee Cee 30). I know a LOT...

Headphone Output vs Output1

This may be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway. Should the sound of the output from the headphone be the same as the output from the back of the Axe FXIII Output1 (or Output2)? The reason I ask is that I have the headphone output going to a pair of Samson Media O-N-E powered studio monitors...

Also - if you're looking for just a basic 'non Hercules' stand for home or stage, maybe try this one... D&A Guitar Gear Starfish Passive Guitar Stand --- Sweetwater carries them (among others).

Commercial U2 preset packs

Hi Edo @edo, On the guitar without the pickup covers - what type of pickups are those? Do they have a gold ring around a basic set of hum buckers? Also curious of the two guitar pickup sets - which do you prefer (if you had to pick one)? Thanks, Marty

The Axe III Pink Floyd pack looks great - I've still have the Axe FX II XL+ - do you have a similar Pink Floyd pack for sale too?

Commercial U2 preset packs

NP on videos! ; ) @edo - quick question on the LP Custom - is that the same one that's in earlier videos with different volume knobs/pickup cover removed or is it a new/different LP Custom?

Commercial U2 preset packs

The guitar guides are great but the videos that Edo has created that demo the packs are even more awesome. You see great guitars and how/when he switches for key parts of the songs in the packs. I think they are even listed in this chat stream 3 or 4 chats back. Really worth taking time to...

u2 JT2017 With or without you tone

Saw the shows a couple of times - this sounds great and your playing is great. Curious - are you using an 'infinity' sustainer guitar or e-bow or just Axe preset only? Backing track? Would love to know more details on how to get a sound and play this like you are doing. Really great job!

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game

Great Job! Did you also make the backing tracks? Was there an acoustic track in there recorded via Axe too? I'm new to Axe FX II XL+ but love it. For me, it's like giving a monkey the keys to the space shuttle - still finding what to do. Same for understanding how to use DAW - been trying...

I may be too new to the site and using Axe-Edit, but where is the latest 'getting started' or 'user guide' for Axe-Edit? The responses on these previous posts take you back to the page to download the software. Now that I've got the software, is there a user guide that should go with it...

New Owner/User needing help with Mac and sound output

Actually, I did just try that and with the headphone line from the Axe into the split headphone/speakers on the iMac, this works (like the POD). I guess the manual confused me thinking that the signal flowed both ways via the USB to the Axe and computer. As I wrote earlier, I thought this...

New Owner/User needing help with Mac and sound output

OK - Then I'm confused. In the manual on p13, what setup is needed to 'play along with backing tracks or use the Axe FX II as a high quality sound card"? I had a POD HD500 prior to getting the Axe and I believe I hooked the headphone from it into the iMac and it played via these speakers...

New Owner/User needing help with Mac and sound output

I just bought the Axe FX II XL+ and UPS delivered it about 4 hours ago. I've been trying since that time to setup with USB only to my iMac. I have got the latest drivers and Axe Edit gets input from the XL. For example, I hit a string and the tuner in the Edit shows different values (E, A...

Any Axe FX (Ultra or II) players near Kentucky in US?

I'm wondering if there are any that live/play near Kentucky in the US? I'd really like to see the setup for one of the units in person before plopping down nearly 3 grand for the unit and foot controller. I'm a garage band talent at best so I'm really curious if jumping to the learning curve is...
