    Cab block -- why 20K hi-cut?

    A guitar cab usually doesn't go above 6-7,5kHz, so if you want to emulate a "real" cab, a high cut makes a lot of sense. Usually i always cut around 6(,66) khz in the studio...

    Seymour Duncan or Matrix power amp?

    I have the smaller powerstage, and I absolutly LOVE it! Hav had many other poweramp (marshalls and mesa's), and except maybe for my 2:ninety (which weighs a ton), powerstage sounds the best to me! I thought I hated my cabs, until I replaced my Marshall 8008 with the powerstage, and found out...

    Adjusting EQ on stage?

    I agree that it is a bad idea to adjust the house going to FOH!

    What are your opinions on running a sim cab into a real cab?

    I always have my cab block last in my shcain, and have an effect loop in parallel, so that when I play gigs my cab sim'ed output goes directly to FOH, and output to goes into my SD Powerstage 180 (amazing poweramp) and into whatever cab is available on stage. People argue that this way, you...

    What is your go-to amp for building hard rock/metal patches?

    For heavy I tend to end up using the 6160 Blockletter. For years I've been playing an actual 5151 blockletter, so it might just be that that's the sound I'm used to. My favorit for heavy though is the FAS Modern II (might be III, not sure). But the cabs you chose are just as important, if not...

    A+ Seymour Duncan PowerStage 700

    Weird, highly unwanted, harmonic

    My thoughts exactly, but there any modulation on the preset what so ever. Does anyone know if there is a certain parameter in the amp block that causes this, so I can get rid of it without mordifying my tone too much?

    Very Frustrated With AXE FX II XL+

    Output 3-4 from the axe-fx are by default a dry DI signals (unless you have changed this to mirror output one or use the fx loop). If you record via USB, the level is fixed, and if you're recording via cablet I would crank the output of 3-4 to the max, to ensure max signal-to-noise ratio.

    How to remove power amp distortion without removing the poweramp?

    For the last months or so I have my axe hooked up to a Mesa std 2x12 through my power amp (w power amp- and cab sim disengaged), and have been tweaking away. I am really happy with the sounds I have come up with, and wanted to record some stuff, which I do with IR +cab and power amp modeling...

    Blank screen and no sound - again..

    I experiences the exact same thing yesterday (for the first time) in my studio. I had to restart 2-3 times, before my axe was back to normal. Worked it hard for the rest of the night, with no problems. I run an XL, mfc101 mk3 and fastlink connection

    Power Amp Sim (Global vs Preset off)

    Sorry to awake this old discussion, but I am going back to using power amp + cab instead of cab sims (sounds better in the room, when jamming and testing out new material), and even though I have sag all the way down, there is a huge difference when I switch of the global power amp modeling. It...

    Possible to get the Axe to display Global when using AxeEdit??

    Hi guys, does anyone know if this is possible? The only thing I use the display on the axe for, when using axe edit, is to monitor the gain reduction on my comp block (which is a feature I would LOVE to see in Axe Edit btw), and would prefer the axe to be locked at the Global screen. Is this...

    Using a pre-amp in the Effect Loop

    Gate help please!

    Rel (release) and hold both control how long after you stop playing, it takes for the gate to kick in. Try setting but of these to super fast, ratio maybe a bit further (all the way down) down, and then play around with the treshold. It is important you have this block at the beginning of your...

    the FAS amps!!!

    The last few years I have been playing my AxeFx XL directly though PA using cab sims when playing live, and some times rehearsing. usually I rehearse using my Mesa Triaxis through a Marshall 8008 poweramp (my 2:Ninety is broken and pending repair (read: Need money for repair), which sounds...

    Axe Fx II Not working with pro - tool (Mac OS 10.9.5)

    1+ on going to the I/O page in protools and hitting default under the Input Tab! I have to do this at a weekly basis or so, for some reason. Another thing could be the Agregate itself. When I combine by axe with my 2828 soundcard, sometimes the axe becomes inactive in aggregate setup window...

    Octave Whammy is slightly flat

    Sounds like you need to recalibrate you expression pedal.

    " LA2A " Compressor like settings .... some SUCCESS .... see Post #8 & Post #10

    On the LA2A (or other comps for that matter), the magic is not remembering the setting of the threshold ("Peak reduction" on the LA2A), but listening (duh), and watching the needle to see, how much it actually compresses. I have an LA4A so haven't had reason to try replicating it, but I think...
