FS Pair of CLR (Neo MkII) - UK

I'm selling both of my Atomic CLR Neo MkIIs. I'm not keen to let them go, however as you will see from the photos I am short of space in my office. We moved house a year ago and my room is unfortunately smaller, I have been trying to make it work with them but have to face the music that I need...

Existing GT22 users - FM9 Turbo thoughts please

I use an RJM GT22 with my AxeFX3. I've not played live since Covid, however that looks to change in the next month - so I am not loving the idea of lugging my AxeFX and GT22 around again (I know right, it used to be tube amps and pedalboards!!). I am 'considering' getting the FM9 Turbo, keeping...

Atomic CLR - replace with Adam A7X/8X? (probably not)

I’ve got 2 beautiful Atomic CLR MkII Neo that I play through at home. Love them! BUT, thing is I don’t play out at gigs much anymore, and lately I’ve pretty much always ended up going FOH with IEMs because of either limited space on stage or a sound guy who wants full control of the sound on the...

Wish Add Preference/Option to default the 'Block Info' on/off when starting Axe-Edit

When opening Axe Edit, I always enable this feature because channels are such an integral component to Preset/Scene design. It would just make workflow that little bit easier if we could control whether we want this to default on or off on startup. It just feels strange (for me) to always...

I've been getting this odd behaviour for a long time now, but it has been random and very difficult for me to recreate/explain. The short summary is I'll be using the Wah block on any preset and after a couple of minutes of wah noodling suddenly my AxeFX output drops almost completely (you can...

A good affordable, modern guitar for some fun!

So I have mostly vintage guitars because they lend themselves perfectly to the type of sound I record/play live with. But I miss a good metal chunker that I can drop to C and do some of the Leon Todd/Inflames type of fun when I am in the mood for it. For this, my Gibson LP (59 reissue) just...
