Reconnecting my XL to my iMac

After a few years playing acoustic I rummaged in the garage, blew the dust off my old rig and hooked it up to my iMac. Did all the updates but can only get sound via the headphones jack on the XL rather than through the computer speakers via the USB connection. (Pretty sure I had no problems...

Rhythm to Lead Live - What's your setup?

I ride the guitar volume control to vary the dynamics constantly. My patches are quite simple so the vol at 5 is almost clean gradually overdriving as I increase it. To get a bigger volume boost I use a Filter Block in the patch to add 5db

ENGINEER or GUITAR PLAYER?

I only use a couple of patches. I might add an effect via the MFC101 but most of the time I use the volume on the guitar. For me the AXE-FX is about convenience. I'm far more focussed on my playing to be sniffing corks.

Preset advice needed for studio vs live

I too discovered this quite early on. 95% of my Axe-FX use is live so my setting are geared towards that setup. What I've also noticed is a significant difference when the volume is high. My default "dirty" tone cleans up at hi volume yet has more distortion at low volume.
