    Resolved: Weird behaviors from my Axe-FX! Please help!

    Thanks, @Rex and @Greg Ferguson!! Ghost notes confirmed! I changed the Power Supply to DC and they went away. I would still like to know how to keep them for accuracy, but maybe dial them back a bit if anyone knows?

    Resolved: Weird behaviors from my Axe-FX! Please help!

    Thanks for the input, Greg! I hear what you’re saying about accuracy vs idealism, but I’m really baffled by this. I’ve been using the Plexi’s for years in the Axe3, and never noticed the ghost notes being so prominent. Maybe I’m just hyper-focusing on them now that I’ve heard them and I can’t...
