Blacktop Grinder - AxeFX II XL+

Note: While I have an AxeFXII MK II, an XL+, and a III Turbo, this was originally recorded with the MKII, then updated to the XL+. If I add a solo it will be using the 3T. New song in the works. Likely only for background music in original Youtube content, but we'll see. At first I thought I...

FXIIIT/FC-12 layout help

Going from AxeFX II Mk II w/Liquid Foot+Pro+ and 2 Mission SP1-LF's to AxeFX III Turbo w/FC-12 and same expression pedals.... For the life of me I can't seem to wrap my head around how the FC-12 is set up to function in a similar manner. Looking for something pretty simple really. . . . . T...

Foray into YT vids...

Recorded this several years ago with the Mk II, but finally getting around to moving all of my tunes to YT vids on a common channel. Like it, don't like it. Entirely up to you. I write/record for me, no one else. If others happen to dig it. Great. If not, no harm no foul. Several more to come...

Back after 4 years...Turbo III/FC12 on the way!

Howdy folks. Been away a while (long story, moved to MT, moved back to TX, had some hand surgeries, etc). Bought my first AxeFX in 2013 (Mk II), and 2nd in 2017 (XL+), and now I'm joining the III crowd. Hey, better late than never! The III should be here today and will be installed in my new...

NGD - Prototype Solo II Custom

What a freaking beast of a guitar! The first 3 pup Solo II Schecter made. Michael Ciravolo helped me get my hands on this one. I bought it before it was even delivered to the dealer, so they turned around and sent it straight out to me when they got it from Schecter.

I just can't bring myself to let it go....

Dual Axe's are such a thing of beauty. I think I'll hang onto the MkII for friends to use during jam/studio sessions. What's interesting though...in person the color/tone/brightness of the LCD screen is pretty much identical (unless my vision is giving out on me, which is possible at my age I...

"B stock"? You've got to be kidding me?!

I've gone over this thing with a fine tooth comb, and this is the only thing I can find that would make it qualify for the statement above. I'll buy B-stocks like this all day long, every day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Glad I jumped on this deal!

NGD - Michael Kelly Hybrid Special

Been wanting one of these since they introduced 'em. An old band mate had a Taylor T3, but I just couldn't bond with it. Loved the concept, but just didn't click for me. Similar style guitar here, but at about 1/3rd the cost, but all of the quality. The attached pic is the actual guitar my guy...

FW 19.00 + presets from FW18.04 upgrade to Q3.03?

I'd upgraded to 3.03 a few weeks ago and loaded the Q2.01 presets to start from clean slate. I've had fun building some of my old presets from scratch but was curious how my old 18.04 presets would sound under Q3.03, so I fired up FractalBot and reloaded bank one from backup. AMAZEBALLS! No...

Took the plunge. FW19.00 > Q3.02 + Q2.01 presets

Hoping Quantum is all I've read it is. I'll have to recreate all of my presets, but that's no big deal. Took full backups just in case, but if like every other time I've updated firmware I doubt I'll need it. Wish me luck.
