    80's hero's preset bundle interest?

    I think you're looking at it the wrong way. Yes, for the hours you put into a preset, if all you made off of it was $10 that wouldn't be worth it. However, like another poster, I can't bring myself to buy a preset that costs $10. If you price it where people won't hesitate to buy it, I think...

    Signs of Life - Gilmour

    Look at it as a credit to Gilmour that nobody even wants to try. I think I read at one point the engineer saying the key was the compression on that one. If you haven't already looked, Gilmourish is usually a good place to start. Maybe his active pickups are part of it.

    First week with Axe-FX II: amazing experience

    What I really respect about Fractal and the Axe is I've had it about 10 months and we've gone through a huge amount of firmware updates. I came to this from a POD 500. Besides the sound, just the difference in support is amazing. With Line 6 (I still use some of their stuff too and like it)...

    John Petrucci fans pay attention!

    Do you have any plans to release preset/cab bundles for pack 13?

    What are you all filling your preset slots with since scenes became a part of the AxeFX?

    I use a template with global blocks and vary the preset by distortion amp. I use 5 scenes per preset with x/y versions of blocks that primarily change for clean/dist. I use 2 rhythm scenes, usually the difference is the x/y state of the drive block. A lead scene (activates delay, slightly...

    VIDEO: The power of a cab block

    Question for the gallery...do most of you use High Res or normal? I've dropped from high to normal for cpu sake, but I do feel like there's a sacrifice in the sound. That said, after I've played on normal for a while, I forget about that. I know it's entirely subjective, and if I feel like it...

    Gear for bedroom use

    I started out with a power amp/cab setup. Even though the cab was pretty neutral, it still felt a little "boomy". I switched to studio monitors, Yamaha HS8s. They've been great so far.

    Any sort of guide available for "intermediate tweaking"?

    I'm really looking forward to this. I've spent a lot of time dabbling around in the advanced amp parameters and no time at all with cabs. I start with a cab that I know is in the ballpark, dial up a decent amp tone, play something in a loop and scroll through similar style cabs till I find the...

    Rethinking My Method for Boosting Leads.

    I'm also in the output level crowd. I don't adjust any gain although I have a drive block at the ready. I thicken it up with a delay block and have the output set a little higher. I also have a volume up/down switch if I need to adjust on the fly. I'm not sure why you would use a block to...

    Taylor 514ce TM (made w/JP6 piezo)

    I just want to throw my shout out on this block. It's become the go to acoustic sound for my JP Majesty. Scene 5 of every patch now has amp/cab off with just this block, some compression and a little reverb. The piezos already sound pretty decent, but this just adds a bit of spice to make it...

    Inserting EH PitchFork into signal chain

    I've got a Drop, love it. I don't have it in a loop, I have it between the guitar and the Axe. I used the pitch block for a while, the Drop just ended up being easier. I haven't noticed any lag and it doesn't sound strange till you tune down about 6-7 steps. Even then it's not that...

    Bug? Sizzling when change scenes

    Here's one of mine. Sometimes, I can get it to make noise changing between scenes 1 and 3 and vice versa without even touching the guitar, but not often. However, my main problem is if you've got any sound playing in scene one and switch to scene 3, like a quick jump to a clean section, you...

    Bug? Sizzling when change scenes

    I have the same problem, or at least very similar. I set my presets up as rhythm/lead/clean with scene changes. I primarily do that with x/y amps for the switch between rhythm and clean. The clean is set up louder than the distorted scenes. If I have reverb and delay on for both I'll get a...

    Anyone using the Fractal EV-1's for their AxeFx 2 expression pedals?

    Skip the switch, get an EP-1 spring loaded and use auto engage on the block. Works great. You don't need the spring for auto engage of course, but it's nice to have for wah. That said, the EV-1 is a wonderful pedal. I use one for volume and the Mission for wah. A little on the big side, but...

    Finally Pulled the trigger!!!

    you can download them from the exchange. The preset will show whether or not there's a tone match block. I think you still need to have a somewhat similar setup, it's not like you can make bridge mag pickups sound just like a Martin, or maybe you can for all I know, I've just gotten...

    Finally Pulled the trigger!!!

    I'm right there with you only a few days ahead, I just got mine Thursday. I'm still sorting out some buzz issues, but the second I loaded up a tone matched acoustic preset compared to my old piezo tone it was jaw dropping how awesome it sounded. But yeah, between the unit and the controller...

    hum/interference

    I just got my XL+ a couple of days ago and I think there may be a problem. I get terrible hum on any remotely higher gain preset. Petrucci Rhythm is a good example, although I can detect it even on clean patches. I've cut as much out of my loop as I can. I have the Ax plugged in, listening...
