    Axe Fx III/FM3/FM9 along with using UAD (plugins) processing in realtime

    Axe Fx III/FM3/FM9 along with using UAD (plugins) processing in realtime

    When I had my FX III I used digital (SPDIF) direct into my Apollo interface and Luna DAW. If you have a bunch of UAD plugins it is fun to use them with guitar while tracking. I used headphones out most of the time. If I came up with something interesting I was all set to record it in the DAW. I...

    Regarding SPDIF to optical (apollo twin x)

    I didn't have to change anything with the x4. I use Luna so I don't even open Console. I am not aware of any disadvantages, other than the cost of the converter (which included the cables!). The big advantage is it leaves your Apollo XLR inputs available for use.

    Regarding SPDIF to optical (apollo twin x)

    I don't have it hooked up right now as I have my FX III going into an Apollo x8 with a straight RCA cable. But it is a simple installation. RCA cable from Axe FX to the RCA plug on the input side of the converter. Set the input switch towards coaxial. The toslink cable goes from the output side...

    Special Thanks to Simeon and Leon

    Wish saving multiple blocks as a set to use in other presets.

    Not sure this is the OP's intent but similarly it would be helpful to save multiple blocks as a group. There are some effects pedals like Strymon, H9, etc that combine multiple effects to achieve various sounds. In Axe-Edit I might use a reverb, delay and flanger together to get a certain sound...

    Garcia / Dead Preset for FM3

    I agree, but not so much with the Dead. Of course Mayer can get a great sound out of any guitar. :) BTW, I was watching a recent Dead concert and Mayer's Dumble amp goes dead during a song. His techs quickly take it off stage and replace it with an identical looking one. Nothing like having...

    Garcia / Dead Preset for FM3

    Yes, too often Weir's guitar clanging sound is distracting to the song. I also think the Silver Sky Mayer is playing with Dead & Co sounds too thin. And the new 3 humbucker PRS he is playing this year, although better than the Silver Sky, doesn't seem to have that Gerry tone as much as the...

    Brick's BiggsFixx

    Agree! I use the BiggsFix on my Gretsch guitars that have a B7 Bigsby. Makes it much more enjoyable to use. Gretsch should add the BiggsFix to all their B7 guitars. And the Super Squishy Spring works great on any Bigsby where the arm feels too stiff.

    Fractal Axe FX III with UA's Luna DAW

    When I run my FXIII into the UA Apollo x4 interface I use SPDIF, but you need a RCA/Toslink converter to go between the FXIII RCA SPDIF out and into the x4 Toslink SPDIF in. When I run my FXIII into the UA Apollo x8 interface I only need a RCA SPDIF cable because the x8 has RCA SPDIF in (and...

    Delay Block Update

    Interesting. I look forward to this addition.

    Gretsch Country Classic - Strap Buttons

    I have never had any problems with those strap buttons on my Gretsch guitars. But if the hole in your strap is a little large then I would think a big thin rubber or plastic washer would work.

    Anyone "upgrade" to an external delay pedal?

    I replaced all my small Strymon pedals with the FXIII effects, but it took a bit of time and effort.

    Gretsch White Penguin reissue: opinions?

    Not live at high volume - so feedback hasn't been an issue for me. My Falcon has the 59 trestle bracing that is supposed to reduce feedback.
