    Comparing Low Cut - High Cut Methods

    I think I saw that same video and curious what the answers are. I usually have a parametric EQ after the cab block just to do a low and high cut. Never really considered the pros/cons of doing it in the amp or cab block.

    POWER AMP QUESTION...

    Everyone has the Matrix GT power amps, and so that it what I started with as well. To be honest I wasn't blown away by them, mostly I think because I run to actual cabs and don't so much FRFR. So I switched to the Seymore Duncan Powerstage 700 and have been super happy. Plus they have some basic...

    High-shielded cables and EMI noise

    Adding a Hush unit helps a lot. In most cases has eliminated the noise that you hear behind the notes. Watch the video and you can hear it kill the EMI noise. I place it before the input, and in between the Amp and Cab block.

    It can play back any wav file pre-recorded track. For example I export individual sound effects, kick drum, clicks, etc all as separate tracks and then you put it together in Cymatic's software. There you can pan and adjust volume and then choose what the player is going to trigger. Super...

  52. Nahtanis

    Tracking down EMI sources, Axe-Fx 3 Noise Gate settings?

    That happened to me too, I think that the way that it works is to have the Out/In 3 between the amp and the cab block.

So it is the first pedal that I plug into and then it sits in the effect loop (out 3 - In 3) between the amp and cab. Maybe I am doing it wrong in a sense but It has been a life saver for...
  54. Nahtanis

    Tracking down EMI sources, Axe-Fx 3 Noise Gate settings?

    Either one of those scenarios will work. I do both. Works great for recording since it cleanses the emi noise from notes that ring out. Just use one input on the hush for direct guitar input, and also place the hush in the fx loop of the Axe-III.
  55. Nahtanis

    Tracking down EMI sources, Axe-Fx 3 Noise Gate settings?

    Noise gate won't fix EMI noise. Once a note is ringing out and dying off the noise will creep in and ruin your recording. I had similar issues and fixed it with a 2 input Hush pedal. I don't have this problem anymore, and there was another thread before dedicated to this issue...

    Do you use your AX3 as a usb interface?

    I use it as my main interface, but it is a hassle to unplug everything when I need to take it to rehearsal or a show. So I would be curious what other people are using that would make it easier to plug it in/out easily. But it works great so far besides the cable hassles.
