    Buying a laptop for tracking only?

    hello everyone, any feedback would be appreciated.. So I have a desktop that’s got plenty of power to operate my daw and any virtual instruments I have. Now I would like to add a laptop to record our weekend jams. I would download Reaper to this laptop and use it exclusively to record up to 8...

    Anyone wish for a better looper?

    i also agree.. i've had problems since day one.. i've research it and "some" users have the same issue. its really hard to get the loop perfectly on time. i've used other loopers in the past, and this was never an issue. a improvement would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Pitch Block Woes

    sorry for the delay, but after reading your comment again, it sounds like you already have it sounding close.. maybe this will help. i have my pitch block before the amp and the effect type is FIXED HARM, and my parameters are VOICE1 SHIFT and VOICE1 DETONE, you would select your harmony on...

    Pitch Block Woes

    i've struggled with this for a while, i finally got it set to where IMO sounds about 70% close to my old Wammy... i've been lazy lately and have not messed with it for a while.. im thinking that if i keep messing with it, i can get it to sound better. at the moment i forget which settting i...

    Scene Switching Gap

    i also had gap problems when i first started, now they are good enough that i "almost" cant tell they are there,, but if i listen carefully i can still hear them.. anyway, i agree with most people here. the X/Y switching creates gaps, even if the block is not being used on that scene. i...

    Volume Block

    try calibrating it again.. i remember i had mine calibrated then i added more expression pedals and i had the same problem as you, i could still hear my guitar on the Heel position.. not sure how or why my calibration was off after adding more pedals, its probably not even related. but...

    Looper help / looper seems to shorten the loop when replaying it.

    hello all. something tells me im missing something really easy... the issues is while trying to create a loop, i hit record and start playing, then i hit the button again to stop the loop and its automatically starts playing, so far so good. the loop that starts playing back seems to be just...

    Output EQ

    sweet, good to know it works. a while back i was thinking of doing this, but maybe my ADD kicked in and i moved to something else lol.

    Output EQ

    ok, i understand now. this is past my capabilities :) .. i may have some suggestions though are you running your preset with 1 amp block? if so, add a second amp block and pan one right and the other left. this way i believe you would have control over each amp blow that is panned to each...

    Output EQ

    im running the Axe through a matrix gt800 into two 4x12 mesa cabs, at one point one of the cabs was a marshall and i never had to adjust the output eq to make sound good. i realize these settings are there to shape your sound the exact way you want, but i personally have not got this far. the...

    Axe Fx into tube amp effects loop?

    there are a few ways to do this, the easiest IMO, is to plug your guitar into the front of the AXE FX, use one of the outputs on the rear to connect your AXE FX to the effect loop RETURN input on, this way you are only using the power section of your 6505 and you can use a distorted or clean...

    Versatile practice and performance rig and a little advice plz :)

    you first mention that you want to be able to adjust a preset at practice and have them sound the same live at the FOH. is this case, you do want some FRFR monitors, and these ElectroVoice ELX-12's seem to fit the bill, i dont know the quality of these speakers tho.. even if the quality of...

    Matrix Amp as backup monitor/PA amp

    i recently got a GT800FX to use with my Axe FX2 so i'm not very experienced with power amps but.. the GT1000FX is supposed to be tweeked to work better with modelers but its still a flat response power amp, so i'm almost sure you could use it as a power amp for the rest of the band. i would...

    Matrix Amp as backup monitor/PA amp

    which Matrix amp are you considering? do you know the model? when you mention you want to power monitors or mains on smaller gigs, are you using these for guitar as well or other instruments?

    running stereo with a guitar cab and an FRFR?

    my effects being stereo is not the main reason i was to use 2 cabs, what im trying to accomplish is having a 2 amp set up. so for example. scene1: pexi100. scene2: bogner shiva. scene3: pexi100 and bogner shiva combined, pexi throught the mesa cab (with out cab sims) and the bogner through...

    running stereo with a guitar cab and an FRFR?

    is it possible to run stereo with a Mesa 4x12 cab and an FRFR? when i first got my AXE FX i thought i was going to "miss out" on all the cab IR's because i was going to use my 4x12 mesa cab and turn the cab sims off ... i read before that some people were not completely happy with a FRFR rig...

    hi, im new to the axe, so bear with me please :) i've created a few presents with 4 or 5 scenes, and i've used multiple amps, but with the most recent present i get pops between scenes 1,2,3 and 4 but not 5. can someone please look at this present and tell what is wrong? thanks for your...

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i believe i figured out what was wrong... well it was a bunch of things.. firs off, i noticed i had the amp block panned hard right, the room i was trying to dial in my tone was very small, and i was sitting right in front of my speaker cab.. a bunch a newb mistakes. once i took my rig back...

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i've did try a few cab options when the axe fx runs through my monitors, and no problems there... but when i run it trough my mesa cab i turn the Speaker sims off. since the cab sims are off, doesn't that mean that the speaker block doesnt really matter?

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i have not, some of the presets do sound really good with a drive block, but I'm just thinking that all these amps in real life sound good enough with out a drive before them, so why do i have to use a drive on these if they are so close to the real thing.. just my way of thinking, but i'll by...

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i mean that the amp block has either too much distortion or not enough. when trying to set the gain, i can get amp block to sound really good when i play a full cord or a power cord, but when i try to "chug" (mute the strings) its when i can tell there is not enough distortion, so i give it...

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i can get good clean and dirty tones, but when i go to the "third channel".. when i look for the metal tones its where i have problems.. where does your OUTPUT LEVEL knob (on the face of the axe fx) usually stay? 30%? 50%?

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    The preset I have right now is OK, but still not very good. The issue was when crating the preset, I just had a cab block and I would load different amps with nothing else on the chain, I figured I would get a decent sound from an amp and then work from there, but most high gain amps sounded...

    What am I missing? Sound quality

    i'll start off by saying that I only have three weeks with my Axe fx2 and less than a week with the MFC. For the first week I ran it through a pair of JBL LSR308 monitors and I was playing around with the stock presets, so far so good, when I created my first few personal presets I found it a...

    Axe FX2 overkill for me?

    thanks again for all the comments... i think i've made my mind up.. the axe FX2 would be the right unit for me. i've also purchased different products in the past and to save some $$ i got the lower model, only to in a few months regret not getting the better product, then i end up selling the...

    Axe FX2 overkill for me?

    my rig is somewhat complicated, my signal goes from to a pedal board with about 14 stomp boxed into a A,B,Y and into 1 half stack and 2 combo amps.. all my distortion come from the amps. at some times i get crazy with FX. rigo
