    Wish Where is the Q control at the Var-Q Graphic EQ of the AMP Block?

    The Var-Q EQ types are available at the Amp Block Output EQ, but the Q control seems to be missing at both Axe-Edit and the Font Panel BTW: I cannot find the Master-Q control for the regular GEQ block at the Axe-FX front panel, only at Axe-Edit.

    I've broken my Audeze LCD-2😫😫😫. Any alternative?

    A tragic accident. Don't ask me how it happened. 😰😰😰 These have been my favorite reference headphones for more than 10 years. A trustful and neutral replacement of studio monitors. I made a great sacrifice spending $1,100 at that time. Really worth it, specially for the Axe-FX, but I would...

    Is it possible to get a delay with cents of ms precision? (to compensate latency of other equipment in series)

    I have the Boss SY-1000 output connected to the Axe-FX input-4, and the regular guitar pickups connected to the Axe-FX Input-1 When mixing the regular pickups with the SY-1000 modeled guitar (e.g.: nylon guitar) there is a slight out-of-phase issue probably caused by the higher latency of the...

    DynaCab for Santana Smooth (preset attached)

    I'm tweaking a tone for covering Smooth with a band. After trying several Amp/CAB combinations I am with the USA Lead amp and the 1x12 G12T100 DynaCab with a condenser mic. It has some harshness that I am not satisfied with, but if I reduce Gain, OD or Master it is too clean and dry. Any...

    What Amp/Cab for this clean but hot lead tone? (Roine Stolt - The Flower Kings)

    It starts at 1:40. It changes at the second part of the solo from 2:50: there is more drive added. Or maybe the guitar volume was rolled off at the first part and then increased?

    After having hoarded more than half million IRs, I have finally found "my" tone at this pack. I was initially disappointed when I opened it because it only contains 4 IRs, and they don't say anything, but that is perfect because it prevents Choice Overload. It is the tone for leads that I have...

    Looking for a simple Windows metronome with Tap Tempo function

    I've been using NCH TempoPerfect for a while, but I miss the function of setting the Tempo with a couple of mouse clicks. What is available there? A google search brings a lot of BS For the smartphone I use Keuwlsoft. A similar version for Windows would be great

    I've blown up my laptop inserting a USB Type C

    ASUS ROG GL552V I was going to upload some pictures from the smartphone, but instead of inserting the large USB plug, this old man inserted the small one, which may have caused a short circuit. Instant death. Any idea if there is something I could do to fix it? I hope that the disks are OK...

    Darrell Braun giveaway: I vote Paoletti!!!

    But so far the Ibanez is winning with 6.3k votes against 5.1k. The Wreck and the Zematis are far behind. I like that Ibanez and I love Ibanezes, but the Paoletti is so special! P90, The copper touch, Unique Finish, A Tele with tremolo bar, 150 year-old chestnut from ancient wine barrels...

    Share the oldest recording that you have

    Inspired by this post from @Justincase , I have rescued the oldest recording that I could find. I think it is from 1989. Recorded with this gear: Charvel Model 6 Fire Crackle. Here it is, with my missed Peluso when he was less than one year old. At this pic you can see the Art SGX-2000, but...

    DIY 3D-Print String Stretcher

    I have designed a String Stretcher using OpenSCAD, just for fun. It was a real challenge, because that program is not to actually draw, but to write scripts that generate geometrical figures I have shared it on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4895028

    Wah washes your brain and f*'up your ears

    Yesterday evening I spent a while playing with the WahWah (it all started with John Norum's version of The Loner) Then I went to continue with my recordings at the DAW, but all the tones that I was previously using did sound like shit. After few minutes tweaking I realized that the Wah probably...

    Need advice on second hand Fender Strat Plus -> Finally it is a Suhr

    It look interesting, but the seller is in another province at 600 km from Bangkok. So, no chance to try it 1988 Fender Strat Plus Razberry for $1,200 What is your opinion from the pictures? The seller is a locally known guitarist. He seems reputable. Would you grab it?

    AFIII Requesting advice to improve Tone/Eq/Mix-levels on a recording (Vinnie Moore's April Sky )

    I've recorded Vinnie Moore's April Sky (a J.S. Bach arrangement). Iam not trying to emulate his tone, just getting a pleasant tone. I have spent so much time re-amping and equalizing to balance the mix that I believe that now my ears are tired, so I cannot discern what is more and what is less...

    The Cygnus Limelight M@ preset appreciation thread

    Anything related to that factory preset goes here: preset modifications, recordings, live covers, tips and tricks, rush issues... I will start by sharing a backing track. It is based on a MIDI file that I found on the web I cannot attach the WAV file because it is too large. I have uploaded to...

    Good! a rock band wins Eurovision 2021

    Normally I don't watch it because I am no friend of pop/dance/syntethic/justapretty-face-singer songs where the producer works harder than the musicians, but I like that this year a rock song, played by musicians from a real band, has won the festival. It happened thanks to the popular votes; it...

    Need help with basic BFD3 issue: no sound of Crash/Cymbal/Ride through their channels

    This is the first time I use BFD. I was using SD, but now I got the BFD Neil Peart kit (blame the Cygnus Limelight M@ preset :D) The issue is that I cannot control the volume of the Crash, Cymbals and Rides through their correspondent channels of the mixer. I can only hear their bleed through...

    Why no discount for badly scratched and rusted guitars?

    I was browsing the local second hand offers, and I came to a Fender Strat selling for $2,600. When I saw the pictures I thought: "What a moron! How can he sell this garbage at this price?" Then I noticed the word "relic" at the description 😂 "Fender Custom Shop MVP Limited Edition run 1956...

    Using the Axe-FX III as Hi-End 300B Audiophile Tube Amplifier

    The AMP block has a cool 300B tube. Two Amp Blocks in parallel using Tube-Pre, hard panned L&R, and you can save the $$,$$$ or $$$,$$$ of a hi-end tube amplifier. It really makes a difference (with hi-quality speakers or headphones) I attach a preset. Different scenes with different variations...
