    Travel guitar recommendations?

    I'm not really sure, but the pickups are definitely more PAF style pickups which means they're lower output. I think split coils on lower output pickups generally sound terrible because the output is so low once you split in half. You could feasibly wire them in parallel to get them to sound a...

    The rectos (amp and cab) are generally fizzy, especially with a 57 on them and also have a "scooped" kind of sound. Totally great sound if you're into that but I did note you mentioned you weren't super happy with the fizzyness in your OP. Greenback and Creamback Style speakers have less fizz...

    Help with solving low gain issue

    I would recommend using a factory preset first. You may have inadvertently edited your preset. Post the preset as well and others will check it out. Try the Brit800 Factory preset. If it's somehow "clean" then something is wrong with either the cable, guitar or input.

    How much "wet" signal do you prefer to run?

    I run my wet effects in parallel (100% mix) and use the level parameter to control how much of the wet signal is present. Makes it easier to run effects in the same column because, for example delays and reverbs don't interact with each other. I find this cleans up the clarity for wet effects...

    What is the point of SPDIF if it's just going to be converted to USB anyway?

    Zoom call settings

    To add on what @chris said, You should also make sure you set your audio settings to "original sound for musicians" and turn that setting to "on" in the upper left hand corner (once enabled) Zoom tends to compress the audio and treat your guitar as background noise if you don't enable this.

    Who use always the same IR in every preset?

    I used the PEQ as a starting point but definitely tweaked the low and hi cut (100/5000) in the cabinets and also definitely boosted around 2k to make the guitar cut a little more live. But thats preferential.

    Can the AxeFX III be 100% controlled by a computer?

    I would say about 99.999% controlled by computer. You can't calibrate expression pedals through Axe Edit and adjust a couple minor settings like scene revert etc. Once you navigate your preferred settings on the front panel once, you rarely have to go into the unit. Most of the touring I've...

    Sound Quality As A Function of Output Volume?

    One way the sound quality would change in relationship to the output level would be if what you're feeding it into has a mic pre that will saturate with more input. You can clip a mixer input pre as well as an expensive mic pre Outside of that, you're more likely to notice tonal discrepancies...

    I find the Plexi models all quite dark. Explanation inside. Any help?

    Sounds like a plexi to me. Even Joe Bonamassa has plexis modded with a mid boost to bring the mids more forward and "brighter" Try using a PEQ and boost around 2k with a Q of around 1-1.5 and sweep around until you hear the mids coming more "forward".

    Best Practices for Studio Recording Setup.

    I usually have 80hz low cut and 8000hz hi cut, but definitely ask an engineer what he wants from the guitar.

    Best Practices for Studio Recording Setup.

    Re-amping is a general practice anyway because unless you're tracking every instrument right there in the studio date, things may be added later and your guitar tone, as you tracked it, may not serve the mix once other things are added. I do a bunch of sessions and about 75% of the time, I'm...

    Yes it's based on the AC20, there are a couple variations in fractal land. I personally use the 12AX7 treble one, but the others are great too.
