    My new beauties..

    I thought I'd share my newest acquisitions with the forum! They both absolutely scream and have very distinct personalities. The Black Beauty is a 1998/57 reissue and has a slightly thinner neck. The gold one is a 2016 Gibson Fort Knox Custom. This one is slightly brighter sounding and seems...

    Unwanted Wah Distortion

    I've been using a Clyde wah recently with a pretty broad sweep. My signal goes : comp>pitch>wah >drive then all the rest of the goodies, some parallel, some not. Aside from reducing the overall sweep of the wah and playing less aggressively does anyone have some advice on how to avoid wah...

    does anyone use their rack lids?

    the mfc seems to fit right into a 6u track lid, the majority of expression pedals fit within the same space as well... Has anyone mounted the Mfc-101 or expression pedals in a rack lid? Any use for that lid space at all? Thanks

    Fender Super Reverb '74...wow

    I thought I'd share a cool experience! I've been researching and craving Fender combo amps lately. Played thru a few recently and I just love em! Way more now than when I was younger! So I borrowed an old 74 Super Reverb w 4x10s from a friend and it just ruled. Everything about this amp...

    Did My MFC-101 die tonight?

    I recently took my rig apart to try out a new case. That failed. So I put everything back in my old rack.. Upon starting my rig up I noticed the MfC had green lights on buttons 1, 6, and 11 along with the menu buttons. Blank screen. After a restart they are all red. Blank screen. I have...

    BLUDOJAI CLEAN! Where have BEEN all my life?!

    Strat tones have been less-than-easy for me to attain on the AxeFX so far. It's been pretty easy to find clean sounds on just about every amp model, the Fender models have been the obvious winners for me to date. Matchless seems to come kickass clean as well... However the Higher gain sounds...

    Mute button

    So in my efforts to economize my MFC I have decided to incorporate a MUTE button as an external switch feature. I have a rack tuner so my goal is to mute the outputs but keep my signal flowing to the rack. This will free up an IA switch on my MFC for something else. I have it set to bypass at...

But it's not under...

    Cabinet insulation question..

    So I've read up on cabinet insulation techniques, reasoning, standing waves, etc. I have a few cabs sitting around and i cracked em open to see which ones did and didn't.. I can kind of predict it now! :) Does anyone here that prefers amp/cab/sims off (like me! Egnater 212, afx2, matrix...

    So I've finally gotten around to setting up a small laptop recording studio in my teaching room. I bought a Presonus interface and Studio One DAW. So far everything is going very easy and the axefx is kicking ass, as per usual. However, maybe I set it up wrong. I have my monitors coming...

    Using a mixer with live rig

    Can anyone tell me why/the benefits of using a mixer with the axe live? Is it to simply send appropriate levels to foh and monitors/cabs? If so, is this because it's just faster than adjusting settings on the fly? I have yet to use my axe direct to foh because of personal monitoring hassles...

    Magnets and MFC-101

    Can anyone please tell me specifically why they would believe neodymium magnets (n20-n45) would interfere with the mfc-101's performance? Would it cease the switches from functioning properly or cut off signal entirely? Maybe display or LED issues... Apprec...

    Ernie ball vp jr. Question

    Does it matter which potentiometer I get for use as expression for my axe2? 250k or 25k? I am assuming both will need the split trs cables, which is no issue. However, is there a way to just use a non-split trs cable if I use a certain pot? I like EB VpJr, I just need to know which pot to go...
