    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.00 Public Beta #2

    Literally came here to see if there was a firmware update for the first time in like 5 months and it said "Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.00 Public Beta #2 posted 1 minute ago". What are the odds of that?

    Wish Wish List: New Amps

    +1 I have a knucklehead tre that I retubed with JJ's a few months ago and it sounds incredible with an overdrive in front of it. Some of my favorite high gain tone of all time. I've been trying to amp match it, but can't seem to capture the essence of the Rivera. It would be amazing if they...

    One scribble script looks broken on some presets

    Idk, the problem is weird and maybe it's been addressed somewhere on the forum that I couldn't locate, but I have 1 single scribble script that errors out with SOME tags and not on others and I can't figure out what the common theme is.

    1 Switch to toggle between 3 expression functions?

    Thank you for the response! Yeah, I was racking my brain trying to figure it out to no avail. As far as toggling between two effects like wah/whammy, and then using the auto-engage to turn either on- how would I go about that?

    1 Switch to toggle between 3 expression functions?

    Is it possible to use 1 FC switch to tap toggle between wah/volume and then use the hold function to toggle whammy? I also want the vol/pan block to be engaged at all times, and when exp pedal is switched to wah, the volume remains at the level I left it. Any thoughts?
