    Barefoot buttons on a budget

    And these are nasty plastic, and barefoot are milled aluminium, not sure I see and comparison apart from they both stop your foot hurting when playing in socks. You get what you pay for and I will stick with the real deal. There is always something cheaper, I mean we could all be using Pods...

    Gigging Cover FRFR Guys???

    I play in a covers band, many of the same songs you have, same advice as many have put here. One trick I learned early is setup a preset, dial in your amp, clean, crunch lead etc. Then recycle it, just change the cab, it can make a huge difference and allows you to cover a wide range of sounds...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.00 Firmware Release

    Spent 3 hours at the studio last night after upgrading, going through all my presets at gig volume. Love every bit of it, I go direct to PA, made some tiny adjustments but nothing major. For me each firmware upgrade just seems to feel and sound better.

    Fuzz tone question...

    Day job got in the way, so here's the patch I mentioned above, Scene 4 is the Fuzz/Fizz without using a cab. Try it, tweak it could be fun. Created with a PRS CU22 fitted with Bareknuckle Rebel Yell pickups. Still work in progress, and the scenes need some more levelling, but i have used it...

    Fuzz tone question...

    Not shared it anywhere, happy to share, will upload tomorrow, I use the same preset for Psycho and Knights of Cydonia across 5 scenes, only one scene has the cab removed nd the EQ block added.
  18. Maxsys

    Fuzz tone question...

    Build a preset WITHOUT the cab block (try it you will get some real sizzle) an amp and fuzz of choice, use an EQ block to boost where required works for my Muse patch
