Hey guys I just got the Duncan Dyad Parallel Axis in the beginning of the year and made video review. Some people hit me up for the preset so I wanted to share the vid plus the preset here. Tried to dial in some examples with the 6505 and the EVH as it looks like that's what was in his last...

Help with OBS and dry signal issues ( Axe FX III )

I used to stream a lot on Twitch with the Axe III through OBS. In my particular OBS Main Scene : in my Sources tab, I had an Audio Input Capture, and then select the (SPEAKERS) Axe Fx III as the device. Also had my music/ games from an Audio Out Capture and my device being my desktop output...

Axe-FX III JP2C model Vs. Real JP2C

Glad you enjoy the preset! Yeah for the 2nd cab that was a ribbon, I would mess around with it, but sometimes depending on the room and with the whole band, it would sound a tad muddy and I'd be lost in the mix. Not by a lot, but my ears would definitely pick up things differently on a day by...

Axe-FX III JP2C model Vs. Real JP2C

Sure thing! The signal is going through a live cab/ power amp setup Mesa Recto 4x12 Trad Straight and also split for FOH and my IEM. The cab was changed to the dyna cabs but I used to have a Mesa OH IR to get a closer reference to my Mesa cab on stage. The amp settings are near identical to how...

Axe-FX III JP2C model Vs. Real JP2C

Last year I did two tours with the JP2C in 4CM with the Axe III and had a separate backup rig with the Axe III through an ISP power amp, both rigs using the same Traditional Recto Straight Cab. Alternated between shows and they definitely sounded identical. One issue I have with the real JP2C is...

Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.03 Release

During long sessions, I notice an overall volume drop, then fades back up. This happens on multiple presets and not just in a particular amp model/ block. Did a refresh of firmware but the issue is still there. I'll try to film a clip if I'm able to catch it on the spot.

New Gotoh locking saddles?

Can't wait to try these Gotoh saddles in black when they're available. The Wilkinson locking saddles are great, but they're always out of stock and only come in chrome. Might have to run the the Gotoh both at NAMM to see if they have further info.

4CM high squeal

That's good to hear the Pyle is working out for you! I just finished up setting up the 4CM test with my Powerstation and Mark head with the Stage bug 6 as I stated earlier in my post with no noise issues. By chance do you hear any tone degradation using the Pyle?

4CM high squeal

I hear you, I just figured the PowerStation would react similarly in the 4CM I mentioned. In short, I believe you need to break ground from one of the fx loop cables going to the Axe. The main reason those other iso boxes are cheap, is due to using very cheap components like the main...

I've had a similar problem connecting my Axe III in 4CM with my JP2C a few months back in my touring rig and this was my experience. I lifted the ground inside one of the trs ends of a humbuster cable going into the fx loop side and it improved the noise/ screech significantly. Note people say...

Floyd Rose Discussion

Kinda late to the party but here we go! First off, the possible quick fix, check to see if the Floyd saddles are in the correct radius. I've seen guitars straight from the shop with misconfigured saddles resulting in an awkward radius. Definitely a possibility of error from the manufacturer/...

Looking for a power amp

I have one as well, it's currently busted due to a few fuses blowing but served well for many tours. I really like the ISP Stealth power amps as well, I wish they'd make a higher wattage alternative in the future. I recently picked up a used Matrix GT800 and digging it so far.

There is a current listing on Reverb for an 87 Road Flare 550 that looks pretty clean from Russia. Title states it’s color Fire Alarm Red, but I believe he meant Five Alarm Red. Regardless, I believe it’s Road Flare lol.

Debating returning my FM3 and using my AX8. Thoughts?

I just got my FM3 today. With my AX8, I only used a maximum of 3 different tones live so I knew this would work out easily for me. Clean/Rhythm/Lead FM3 has amp channels A/B/C/D vs AX8 that only had X/Y giving two more amps per Preset! This also includes some stomps/fx depending on CPU usage...
