    Atomic CLR's on sale 899 https://atomicamps.com/

    I have a pair purchased in 2013 or 2014 (non NEO). One of them had a buzz that would occur intermittently, I figured it was the jack as they seem a little flimsy. They rarely get moved or leave the house. A couple weeks ago, the one in question had zero output, the heat seek didn't warm...

    Brady...

    It is really at the point that I generally EXPECT him to pull off the near impossible, especially for 4Q comebacks and game winning drives.

    How many expression pedals are you using?

    3- EXP1 for Volume always EXP2 for variety of things....changes with delays, rotary, pitch, etc EXP3 Wah. Almost always..there may be a few where something is used in place of it, but rare

    One or Two speakers for Axe-FXII ?

    My preference is also two...much fuller sound and the stereo effects are more pronounced. There have been times where I play through one though, and the sound has been great. Used to have a pair of the K12's, there were alright but it seems that they got a little boomy at times. Sold those...

    Lollar imperial love ! Anyone ?

    I purchased a PRS Singlecut Trem used that had the Imperial low winds in it. Initially, I was a little disappointed that the original pickups weren't included, but am completely sold on the Lollars. They excel in every area, from ultra clean to gritty. I would (and often do) recommend them to...

    Looper cuts volume level. Normal?

    I think the mix by default is 90%. Just turn it up to 100%

    What's your string gauge? Manufacturer?

    Axe drivers , Mac Pro and El Capitan?

    Fractal Audio AMP models: Boutique (Matchless Chieftain)

    This amp was one of my first go-to presets, from a stock preset Boutique 1...fired it up, didn't change much and used it quite a bit. However, it has been ignored for quite some time, so I went back to the old preset, set the amp up pretty much as described by Yek, sounds great and it is AGAIN...

    Vertigo

    Once. On a ski trip in B.C., was with a friend and we skied into a big cloud. We were 5 feet from each other and couldn't see each other. As we were standing on some cat track talking about the situation, I kept losing my balance. We split up at that point, I needed some pitch to keep my...

    Fractal Audio AMP models: Boutique (Matchless Chieftain)

    Forgot about this amp....when I first got my IIXL, this was one of my well used stock presets....since then, I have many other favorites, but will fire this one back up tonight. Thanks again Yek, for all the effort

    Keyboard players?

    Yamaha Motif XF8. It is also rather heavy, but delivers....only been using in the studio the last few years, but I did shlep it around for awhile. Great sounds and a great touch, in retrospect, the 76 key would have worked fine for my needs.

    Axe-Fx in your circle...

    Don't know anyone with one...but I am also not gigging, live in a small town, and just work in the studio. Many people have heard of it, I demo it for anyone that comes by, and talk about what it does A LOT. However, if there is anyone around Saranac, MI that wants to get together, I am pretty...

    Demo of Telecaster with Comet 60

    Well, now I have to try the Comet 60....sounds good. So many amps that I have either not touched or brushed over.

    I love listening to Jeff Beck

    Always liked him. Finally went to a concert a few years back, just after Tal Wilkenfeld left. Rhonda Smith was no slouch on the bass either. SEEING him play added an entirely new level of appreciation for me....The unknown added bonus was watching Michael Narada Walden playing the drums...

    just broke up a guitar catfight.. now what do I do?

    The first nick, scratch, gouge is the hardest. After that, not such a big deal. I am no longer gigging, my workhorse have plenty of scars, but my 'studio' guitars are pristine....part of it is the environment, part of it may just be I take a little more care for things these days. Just...

    How many still tweek your presets??

    Not too much here either....most everything is so good without. I do spend more time seeing what I can get out of different effect blocks than the amps, but even that is minimal...Like some other folks, I have about 6 real go--to amps, and then fire up others when the mood strikes, so sometimes...

    What are you using your expression pedal for?

    #1 Always volume (post cab block) #2 Usually something odd, related to delay, rotary, trem, or something else out of the ordinary #3 usually wah, but occasionally another odd item

    Anyone using the Fractal EV-1's for their AxeFx 2 expression pedals?

    I am using two of them, one specifically for Volume, one mainly for wah. Both exceptional pedals, I have always liked the long sweep, dating back to the days of the big silver Morley's. Already had a Boss FV500, so I kept that and use it for others items outside of the first two listed...

    Do you guys ever "start over?"

    I do seem to keep a number of old presets...if nothing else, to see what the 'old' sounds are like compared to the new ones. New is generally better, and I seem to tweak less (or at least more efficiently) than in the beginning. Every day is an adventure

    How many guitars do you own?

    Was sitting at 12 for years...decided to keep the ones I played the most. Now I have 4, and am more than happy with that
  28. TMac1957

    FINALLY !

    You will be more than pleased just trying all the stock presets. I remember prior to getting mine, I was reading all the options and thought it would take forever, but great sounds happen instantly...tweaking them, at least for me, took a bit of time, mainly because I was happy with what I...

    So rare not to see people clamoring for new firmware.....

    Every firmware has been great. But this is entirely on a different level...and has raised my playing level along with it.

    Got my Axe FX II XL exactly one year ago

    What an adventure! The single most useful and beneficial gear I have ever purchased...excluding guitars. Placed an order in March, on the waitlist. April got an invite, which was sent out in error....more waiting. Ordered and received in May. Prior to getting it, I was absolutely...

    New passive graphic EQ is the $hit

    After reading this thread, I thought it was time to give it a try, using mainly the same settings as most of the comments. Amazing results! I haven't really been much of a tweaker so far, just some subtle changes on either stock presets or those that I pulled off of Axe Change.....that has...

    Did your effect pedals GAS stop since you bought your Axe fx?

    99% of the time - Yes, that also goes for amps. The Strymon Timeline always looks appealing, but it's just another item that's not really needed at all. I like the simplicity Axe FX + MFC. Since getting it, everything else is basically in storage....probably will unload the (no longer used)...

    Which amp sealed the deal for you?

    It varies by week/day/hour. Got the XL nearly three months ago, so it has been a ton of experimentation and learning...but early on: Buttery Boutique I Double Verb, and a few other Fenders. After a bit of playing, the Plexi got a lot of attention. The higher gain amps seemed like TOO much...

    Busted my tail for a few companies until I was 49. At that time, started working as a consultant, mainly for my last employer.....this has worked out pretty well, the plan was to work about nine months a year and take three off. It usually works out about there, depending on the project...

    Axe-Fx Name timeout!

    Fixed! Duh...on he MFC I had selected the Axe FX II and there is an option for the XL (which is the unit I have). That works fine now if anyone else is having the same dilemma. I will chalk this up as a newbie error on my part.
