I think with just how powerful and untapped the Ax3 is as it stands theres no need for a 4 yet, especially as FAS are so far ahead of the competition theres really no need for a new unit yet.

2x12 cab question

I’ve been running two Xitone FrFr wedges in stereo for a long time now powered by a Matrix GT1000 power amp. I recently acquired a Randall 2x12 V30 loaded guitar cab, the cab can be run in stereo or mono. Is it even worth running it in stereo? Or is mono better suited?

A real overdrive pedal

I picked up this beat up original UK made Guvnor this week and it just sounds awesome with my XL+, its a little reliced :) gain pot shaft is broken off almost in the dimed position where it actually sounds killer. I usually go with built in drives and get the sound or really close to it...

Firmware rollback 9.03 to 8.02 ... how dangerous.

I stayed with 8.02 for quite some time, I had a couple of presets I prefered on it. But I tried 9.03 and even though I still prefered the same two presets on 8.02 every other preset was better on 9.03, I tweaked the old fave 8.02 presets to be prety much the same on the latest firmware no...

Metallica tonematch/preset extravaganza Quantum edition Vol.4!!

Hey Jon, any updates on how the presets are going? I know we are pretty fresh out of the holiday season and this is probably a low priority project for you with work/family and all, but just thought I'd check in to keep you on your toes :D cheers.

Horizon Devices Precision Drive Modern Metal Test

Is it much of an upgrade over the built in drives? I gave my Maxon OD808X a try on my AxeFx and to be honest it wasn't worth the extra clutter over the built in drive.

Did you stay on Fw 8.x Or move to 9.x (poll)

I use the IIC++ 99% of the time and for some reason I prefer 8.02, ive gone back and forth between 8.02 and 9.02. I'm now on 9.02 because I wanted to try out someone else's presets and I decided to stay with 9 seeing as Jon is working on his new Metallica presets that will be on the latest...

Focusrite 2i4 + Axe FX XL + = not working. Help.

Plug the monitors into the AxeFx, connect the AxeFx to the Imac via USB, go to the sound preferences on the Mac and set the output to AxeFx. This is how I get computer sound and AxeFx sound through my monitors, you dont need the 2i4.

Need a more natural growl

A while ago I had an Angry Charlie pedal that was sitting around gathering dust, there was a certain sound I liked from it to push Marshall amps on my AxeFx, I took some time and matched it pretty much spot on using the BB pre on the AxeFx, it was so close I sold the pedal. Ive tested a TS9 and...

Not a Bug MacBook with OS High Sierra crashes after turning AxeFx on

Ever since going to Sierra I've had some weird issues too, if I switch my AxeFx off then on again my Browsers will lock up when trying to play any audio, also when I do a restart on the Mac once this issue has occurred then the Mac freezes on boot needing a hard reset, never had an issue before...

York Audio Presents: The Bipolar Pack

Another very satisfied customer here, after watching Leon using the IR's on his channel and testing the free IR I had to get the pack, these are my favorite recto IR's to date. Ive tried them all and never been 100% happy. Dropped them into my fave IIC++ preset and with minimal tweaking there's...

Recent UPDATE affecting tone?

I mainly use the Mesa IIC++ amp, I dont know what it is I dont like about Q9 firmware but for the life of me after endless tweaks and back and forth with firmware 8.02 ive come to the conclusion that I'll just stay with Q8.02 and to be honest I'm fine with that, it does everything and more than...

what albums has the axe been used on?

They used the Axe for live performances but used real amps in the studio, maybe someday they will go all AxeFx.

Beta 9 test with the USA IIC+Brt/Dp, Stereo BBD and OH Zilla IR's

Man that sounds so nice, I was going to wait until the final release but I think you just convinced me to give Q9b a try :) Oh and I think I need to get Fremen's new preset pack, I've used the one of his older preset packs for a long time but this new one sounds fantastic.

What External Pedals Are You Using With your Axe-Fx?

I tried a few pedals on my XL+, first off a Maxon 808, after a few minutes I could get the excat sound from a built in overdrive pedal, same for my Angry Charlie, I forget which overdrive inside the Axe I used but I could get probably 95% of the same sound without the need for extra power supply...
