    Eventide H9 compander

    I loved the sound of the H9, and I've been told commanding is a big part of that. How could this be replicated on the Axe? I've used the compressor block, but it doesn't seem to do much in that modus. Schol Jan

    Otter Sw/Exp fc12 installation

    Hi I just got my OCD sw/exp to go with my fc12, but cannot figure how to do what I want. I watched the LT and G66 vids, but i dont get it. On pedal outs 1 and 2 I already have expression pedals, on 3 and 4 I wanted the two switches and the rotary. In the IO menu I only see pedal 1 and 2...

    Fractal and IEM noise

    so finally, I wanted to try IEMs. I took a LDU505 home from the shop, but I have a lot, and I mean a lot, of noise. The IEM was placed on top of the Axe, and is fed by an output of my Scarlett 18i20. With headphones connected to that output, it's quiet and clear. The moment I put the U505...

    JC-120 authenticity

    It is my fave clean model, but then I am mostly listening to 80s newwave lately. I checked to see what was in the model's pre and poweramp, and I see virtual tubes there. Not complaining, it sounds great, but I wasn't expecting that. How were those particular tubes chosen for this model?

    Wish Make Amp Output Mode Global

    So I just read that you need to put the output mode of the amp block on ss amp when you're using one. This means for every channel on every block in every preset, right? If that is right, what's the idea behind this? Why not a global setting, like turning poweramp and cabs on/off?
