    Thoughts/advice on branding myself as an artists?

    My 2 cents. The name that popped into my head after listening to a few seconds of "All The Time" is Elias Rane (song sounds great BTW). My first thought is Country music and the name "Elias Rane" with Elias as three syllables and Rane as one just flows well. You could pronounce Elias a few...

    POLYPHIA TONIGHT?

    I bit the bullet and had custom earplugs made. I take them to every show. I feel that anymore there is a volume war going on. The plugs cut out a ton of harshness in my opinion.

    I have a Mackie HR824 that won't turn on. I took the amp off and checked fuse which ended up being blown. I replaced that and it just blows the fuse again.

    Thanks. Maybe not possible but would be a nice option. A few use cases: If using presets as more of a method to store 'sounds'. Three songs may use Scene 2 of Preset 200 for a specific sound. But you wouldn't want preset 200 to have the same tempo for each song that used it. So if selecting...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    Question regarding Tempo. Can or will there be an option to set each "Song" tempo and have that override the presets tempo? I'm thinking if I'm using multiple presets for a single Song, how is the tempo handled.

    Front panel poll

    An observation. I have always used Axe-Edit and struggle with front panel. My son only uses front panel and jets around it quickly and can configure things faster than I can do it with Axe-Edit. I think it just is where you spend your time or what your used to.

    Sorry for late reply. I would say given the gear you already have (monitors/amps) I would give the FM9 a shot and go from there. As you said, if you enjoy the stereo effects then you do lose that going through something like a single K10. Personally I no longer use my monitors and just run...

    Using an amp w/studio monitors.

    It will sound great and you won't be disappointed. The FM9 has plenty of outputs to do this and more. Out1 has 1/4 you can run to your amp. Out 2 XLR could go direct to monitors (if they have xlr). Otherwise just get adapters to go xlr to 1/4. Then you also have an OUT3. My son has been using...

    You won't be disappointed that's for sure! But you have to determine your use cases to see what solution will work best. I have the III and FC-12 and really have zero limitations. But I don't always like hauling it all around so grabbed an FM9. I had an FM3 also and loved it. But there were...

    No issues here. If working great with Axe 2 already then the Axe 3 should work even greater! The only issues I had were fixed by disabling the sleeping mode of USB. There is a thread somewhere on it. But if you aren't having those issues with the 2 then should be good to go with 3.

    Same. No one uses real amps anymore. They have these huge ISO cabs they built along time ago to house the various amps. In the past few years, everyone has transitioned off them. Nice space savings. And the stage is very clean from both a visual and audible standpoint. No amps, all in ears. The...

    Using Output L/R as separate outputs?

    Yes, this with the panning. I helped a friend setup something similar. He has a guitar with also a bass pickup (two piece band).
