    What's the best way to contact Atomic Amps for service (as of right now)?

    Hi everybody, I had a crap-out of my Atomic CLR Neo yesterday; it boots and the lights blink once, but there's no sound—not even the slight hiss that you get when it's on. Additionally, when I feed it a nice loud signal that should clip the input, the clip LED for that input doesn't turn on. I...

    Should I try to "bake in" my FOH EQ (for inexperienced/busy/deaf/stoned Sound guys)?

    Hi everybody, So here's what I'm thinking. We've all worked with FOH people who can't get us to sit in the mix/cut through/etc. for a host of reasons. Is there such a thing as an optimum EQ curve for a guitarist in a certain situation (e.g., hard rock, I'm one of two guitar players, keyboard...

    Anybody have global blocks get weird after upgrading to Q 7.01?

    Hi everybody, So, for my Axe-Fx II Mark II's (mono) presets, I use a setup like this after the AMP block: Crossover -> two CABs in parallel (one for highs, one for lows) -> Filter (for lead boost) ...these are global blocks, so that every song gets the same cabs, split at the same crossover...

    Help with corrupt preset fear/superstition

    Hi everybody, I'm in an '80s metal cover band here in WI, USA, and for each song, I have a preset. So, yeah... Last night at soundcheck, there was a breaker trip on a different circuit that caused the Axe-Fx II (Mark II) to show a name timeout on the MFC. Rebooting, it was fine... until...

    "Of all my IRs, which sounds the most like this Tone Match?"

    ("cross-bump" of thread from another forum) Hi everybody, I'm a cover band guy ('80s metal), and I'm looking to cop the rigs from the albums as nearly as possible (using information from the 'net). Because I know that a lot of the album sound is "studio magic" best left to my FOH engineer, I'm...

    Your experience: best place for always-available looper

    Hi everybody, So I have my Axe-Fx presets on a per-song basis, where—in each preset—scene 1 is rhythm, scene 2 is clean, etc. The MFC controls the scenes using the first 8 switches. The thing is, I want to start using a looper and have it always available, rather than having to go to "REVEAL"...

    How best to recover from this strange problem?

    Hi everybody, So in my cover band I have about 40 presets, one per song, that tries to cop the original setup and tone. I play a gig last weekend, and some of them are silent! At home, looking at it with Axe-Edit, I find: On seemingly random presets, one or more random blocks simply don't work...

    Atomic CLR Neo Active Wedge has volume fluctuations

    Hi everybody, I just sent this email to Atomic, and I thought I would copy it here to see if anyone has had any similar problems/wisdom to share: I have been crazy about my CLR Neo active wedge (used with an Axe-Fx II), but now something is up. At a gig the other night, the CLR’s volume...

    What's the "best practice" for using looper (with pitch block) as a "2nd guitarist"?

    Hi everybody, The nice, long title says it all: If I use the looper to play back recorded stuff--and I want to transpose the recorded stuff's pitch while I play over it--what's the best way to do that? The first example I can think of would be "Lay it Down" by Ratt. The rhythm lick...

    Looking for a free OSX alternative to the Orban Loudness Meter

    Hi everybody, After hearing about people using the Orban Loudness meter with the Axe-Fx II, I was very excited! I have a lot of presets I need to level--one for each song in three sets of stuff. Sadly, the Orban page says "does not support Yosemite or higher", and that's what I'm using. I...

    Non-FASLink people: Ethernet or 7-pin MIDI?

    Hi everybody, Just a quick question: I've started playing out with my Axe-FX II (Mark II, no FASLink), and I was wondering: ...in your experience, if you play out about 6 times a month, on stages ranging from tiny little areas in the corner to medium-sized stages... ...what's the most...

    Axe-Fx II live newbie: looking for a GREAT (stock) IRs/CABs for hair/'80s metal

    Howdy ever'body! So I'm migrating my Axe-Fx II (Mark II, FW 17.04) into my live setup. Here's my question: If I want to send a _truly great_ rock 'n' roll stereo signal to the FOH, that will blow minds and sit excellently in the FOH mix (without regard to whether it has an "amp in the...

    Cali Leggy + Real Carvin Legacy Confusion

    Hi everybody, I'm new to the Axe-Fx II (non-XL, Mark II, FW 17.04), and I figured the easiest way to migrate it into my live setup would be to start using it to simulate the front end of my (real) Carvin Legacy. But something's wrong! I did this: - Power amp and cab sims off in the...

    Total newbie, excited, with question about silent preset (missing UltraRes IR?)

    Hi everybody, The UPS guy just dropped off my Axe-FX II Mark II last night, and boy am I excited! I jumped right in, and went on Axe-Change to grab presets for Slash/Appetite for Destruction. One of them was marked "UltraRes", and there was no sound! In the CAB block, there was a blank...
