    Pumpkins Siamese Dream Album Distortion?

    Is it possible to put the effects loop return before the big muff and the effects send after it (with a patch cable jumpered in the physical effects loop) to pass the signal back through the muff? If so maybe you can achieve that layered sound.

    Axe-Fx 2 no sound from random presets

    I've experienced this only when dowloading a user .syx file and figured out it was because they had a cab pack added to theirs that i didn't. Just loaded up an IR that sounded good to me. Simple solution for that.

    What External Pedals Are You Using With your Axe-Fx?

    I use a Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone V1 in front of the axe fx for cleans. Can't live without that pedal. Plus the OD on that thing is so smooth for leads.

    HELP - can't get a decent HIGH GAIN tone

    I feel like keeping it simple is really the best way, at least in my experience with the unit. Amp>cab>effects as needed. The high gain amps definitely don't need a drive pedal to get great sound IMO.

    Care to post your live band recordings?

    I was near one of the right speakers. The Q8 is amazing for loud shows. You can adjust the gain level on the on-board mic and/or two additional external mics to prevent clipping. I just used the stock X/Y stereo mic that it came with.

    Some "Secret Sauce" questions

    Oh i know they're in the back haha. is it the only input that utilizes the effects loop block though? or can you set it up other inputs to run into the effects loop block. example: is it possible to set up the effects loop to utilize the front input, 16, 17, or 18, inputs in a menu somewhere?

    Some "Secret Sauce" questions

    No intent on hijacking the thread here but related (ish) question. Does the effects loop block utilize the imput from the physical effects ln the rear and not the front pannel imput? I havent even used my axe fx yet. Ive been out of the country for months. Just studying (the ax) while abroad.

    What are you folks using to protect your Axe-Fx?

    If you have enough space in your guitar case you can put all your cables and a few pedals in. I usually gig with just a guitar case, a head, and a 212 cab. Everything rides in the case. Makes for efficient stage set up as well.

    If you're going to listen to BTBAM start with Alaska and listen to each album after that chronologically. They seriously write masterpieces. Also they used axe fx to record Parallax i and ii, and Coma Ecliptic. No live amps were used on those albums. And they sound phenomenal.

    Can the Axe-Fx II sustain?

    You could always use a pigtronix philosopher's tone compressor. It has the most incredible sustain I've ever got out of a pedal. No air needs to be moved for it to work. Second would be the wampler ego compressor. But that's just my experience. Not sure about the compressors in the axe fx.

    Recorded A Song, How's It Sound Thru Ur Monitors, Or Hi-Fi's?

    If you're second guessing your work you could check it with a good pair of in ear monitors. Usually the dual driver kind sound best due to having a high and low frequency driver in each ear which allows you to really hear note, instrument, and vocal seperation.
