Never put me in charge of logistics

I was early on the list for the Axe III but when no foot controller was in site I took a pass. I was on the FC list in the first 2 hours and as my time rose to the top I decided it was time to sell the Axe II and MFC. The Axe III's weren't only on sale, they were even advertising B stock...

Carpal Tunnel Surgery Anyone?

After a couple years of physical therapy, wrist braces, and injections it looks like the time has come to have surgery. Every doctor I've spoken to has said the results are most often a huge improvement. I need both wrists done but will have the right hand done first. I'm left handed, but...

Do you like to crap on other's classifieds?

I just took a quick look in the classifieds and the first two I looked at were replied to first by other people here to tell them they're asking too much because prices have gone down and people should just spend the extra $100-$200 and get a new one. ...effectively making their ad...

How Many Songs Does your Cover Band Know?

I'm in a fairly typical cover band playing some of the standards from the 60's to current with a few weird songs that no one knows. We currently have 80 songs on our "learned" list. One of our members is really pushing to learn another 5 but we haven't successfully pulled off the last 5...

No Right Side Output?

I've had my AX8 for just a few weeks and things have been going well til last night at practice. I was getting static noise in the right side when in stereo. I switched to L+R=SUM and played the night mono. Today I'm trying to figure out if I have a bad cable on my board and it seems the...

Voodoo Dingbat Pedalboards?

I have an AX8 on the way and while shopping for a board I came across the Dingbat. Doing a search here there's only 1 thread where it's mentioned. Can anyone give me feedback on it's strength? The large (25-3/4" x 15-3/4") model seems to be about the perfect size what I'm mounting up and...

Incoming: Charvel So-Cal MIJ

I've been a PRS guy since the late 90's. Dabbled in other brands and styles, but they never seem to last and down the road they go. Last year I even told myself to just admit that the PRS neck and fretboard is for me and quit looking. I've owned several Floyd equipped guitars including an...

Stomping in Scenes?

I've had my Axe FXII and MFC 101 MkII set up the same way (presets and stomp effects) since the beginning but considering switching to scenes. I've watched the Youtube videos from Cooper and Kris several times and read threads here but still not clear how it works to use the stomp effects...

Using the Axe FX with Mixer presets?

I've been playing direct to an analog board but just picked up a QSC Touchmix 16. It comes with optional presets to choose from depending on different vocals and instruments with starting point compression, noise gates, etc.. There are 6 different electric guitar choices based on a cab mic...

JP15 Illuminator Pickups

I picked up a JP15 this weekend. I love the neck and the piezo, but the magnetic pickups sound (I hate to say it) muddy? My other guitars are PRS Tremontis and an ESP Horizon NT6. I'm a huge Petrucci fan and picked this guitar up to cover a lot more territory. The split coil clean is...

A little Axe FX Love

I joined a band a year ago. When trying out for the group I brought in the Axe FX with the MFC101 and 2 Atomic powered wedges. When asked to join I brought a half stack to the studio with a pedal board to leave for group practice. At our first show last year the sound tech was having...

Why no Wah?

I just edited the 5153 preset to have a wah block similar to my other main presets. I'm using the spring return Mission pedal on my other presets. The wah is off until I begin to press on the pedal then it works until I let off. I'm sure it's going to be something simple, but I can't...

NGD: PRS Floyd 24

This is the first time I'm posting a NGD, and I've been through a lot of them recently. I'm playing in a band that currently uses 9 different tunings and use I 2 Tremonti's and an ESP Horizon. I love both Tremonti's and been considering the Dustie Waring model for standard tuning stuff but I...

Sticky Fingers?

What do you guys do when the guitar and your hands get sticky? (besides the obvious jokes) It got pretty bad at practice yesterday. I tried washing and drying my hands, but I think it might have gotten worse. Do you use products like finger ease?

FOH and CLR Wedge

I know this has been asked a few times and I've searched several times here and via google and youtube. AND I'll admit to being a noob pussy afraid to dig too deep into menus and screw things up. I'm about to play live for the first time. I play at home with two CLR active wedges...

Multiple Guitar Stand?

I'm new to the band thing and the group I'm in plays in 8 different tunings and the practice studio is tight on space. I bring 3 guitars for practice and would like to get a stand that could also be used on stage. I've looked at a few but they seem so flimsy. Any suggestions from the...

Where's the Wah?

All my rig components are here and I'm trying to navigate my way through it all. I've found the KKMusic videos very helpful with the MFC. The first night I got the MFC hooked up and had 1 mission S-1 being used for a volume pedal. The second pedal arrived from Mission (btw they ROCK...

How to set up my room?

I have a 12x16 room I play in. The computer is set up in one corner facing the short wall with the door on the long wall on my left. I have 2 active wedge CLRs and was curious if it's okay to have them on the floor at the opposite end of the long wall about 11' from where I'd be sitting...

Rack Placement?

My 4U SKB case arrived yesterday and I'm wondering if it makes a difference which slots the Axe FX are mounted in. I've seen a few comments in the "Post your Rig" thread about keeping the Axe at the bottom for heat but see a lot of people with it in the middle or top. I'm guessing the other...

What route to take?

Hi, my name's Doug and I'm a Fractal Noob. I've been playing tube amps through this same Bogner cab for the last 8 years. The Boss GT-8 has been here for close to the same amount of time. A couple weeks ago while at Guitar Center with a friend I was about to pull the trigger on a new...
