    I am not using the twins speaker at all.

    questions??

    I am trying to connect my axe II XL+ to the front of my Fender twin (no fx loop) to use the effects. The amp is connected to a radial load box that I want to re-rout back into the axe using the radial JDX direct out so I can better control the volume through the P.A. and also use the axe amp...

    Running 2 axe fx 2 at the same time using 1 MFC

    MFC control port VS Faslink

    So whats the difference between the 2? they both control the mfc and send power. I use the MFC control port with an econ cable and it works fine is the faslink well faster? I read about them both and I didn't see any difference, seems redundant.

    AXE FX 2 MRK 2

    I bought my axe about 3.5 years ago and I loved it then, and after 3.5 years I still love it, the new 9.2 firmware is the best yet. just needed to let it out...
  19. wildolympic

    has the axe replaced everything or not?

    Yes, for me at least the ax has made me a better player by learning more about how amps,cabs and effects all work together and I practice way more because I can get any sound I want, (at bedroom vol) I play a variety of music from Metallica to SRV I love my AXE.

  26. wildolympic

    Delays and reverb .... Parallel or series ?

    Yes, the mix and levels are different if it's in series I believe you keep the mix below 50% and in parallel you use the input to control the wet amount. I still prefer to run it in parallel even though Fractal says there is no difference, so I guess it comes down to personal preference...

    Delays and reverb .... Parallel or series ?

    usually in parallel, but on something like voodoo child or ( Voodoo Chile) if you prefer, I like it in series it seems to be closer in terms of tone/sound.

    Favorite Delay settings for leads

    something I like to do is use a dual delay and set one delay at 100 and one at 120 or 110 it gives a real nice thick cascading effect you can tweek it to taste.

    Trying to get a tone similar to a song

    I agree with Geezer, I find out as much info I can about what gear the Guitarist is using and I copy as much of it I can, it works really well for me, It can be difficult guitarist like to keep some things secret, if there's little info try watching videos and look for at least amps and cabs.

    I find that running the reverb in parallel sort of softens the reverb, I find it sits in the mix better, the dry signal continues straight to the cab and the parallel mix blends with the dry so its sort of a dry, wet,dry, signal I usually run the reverb at the end of the chain (see below) and...

  96. wildolympic

    Help with pitch detune please.

    So as I understand it, 100 cents = 1 semitone, so if I wanted to be at concert pitch A=440 and I wanted to drop 1 semitone (1 half step) I would need to drop 100 cents but the axe only goes to +/- 50 cents so I cannot for instance tune to E and use the pitch detune to go to E flat.
  97. wildolympic

    Do you feel like I do?

    I can see where you are coming from, I guess for me it's more about everything being compact with less cables and power sources, and packing it around rearranging the effects, and oops one of the knobs got bumped, I felt I was always tweaking the pedals with the axe I can set it and forget it.
