    That is great news indeed. Quite often 4CM plus relais switching can be a real PITA to get it without hum/buzz, I'm sure it was a challenge to get everything well isolated in there.

    By the way, I (the OP) have meanwhile sold the Axe FX and am back to amps and pedals. Amongst which I have a Bogner 100B with a built in VariAC ;) Not saying the Axe was bad, I LOVED it, but I just like the thump I get from a 100W head and 4x12 :mrgreen:

    Phasing issues when slaving an amp through the Axe?

    When slaving an amp through effects for W/D or W/D/W it is common to mix in some dry on the wet cab(s) - Dave Friedman confirmed to me that this is what people like Steve Stevens, EVH etc do/did. A fully wet cab makes you feel weird while playing, hence some dry mixed in to blend the FX better...

    AXE FX vs. Tube Amp Question

    I would do this: You want 1U size - ART SLA2 (19.8Lbs) You don't care about size and want more power in a lighter package: Carvin DCM1540L (14Lbs) You can order the Carvin direct as well, even shipped and VATed to Europe it's still a good deal.
