    Best poweramp for Axe III (Goal: LOUDDDDD)

    I have the Matrix GT1000FX 1U and have been considering the Fryette LXII for the reasons you mentioned. Please report back after you've had a chance to gig with it.

    AFIII Tackling the White Lion "Wait" solo

    We've all been there man (on stage in the dark). Happens to everyone at some point. Two main variables will affect you live...standing up and poor lighting. One thing I could suggest is practice standing up. Maybe turn the lights down too. I'll frequently practice our setlist standing up in...

    AFIII Stryper - All For One

    Good job. That's one of my favorite Stryper albums and my favorite tone of theirs. I was able to talk to Michael Sweet after a show once and I asked him about it. He said it was all Mesa MkII C+ on that album.

    They All Sound the Same Again

    I liked 1 and 2. Two sounded like it more lower mids, but I can't say I liked it more or less than 1. I didn't care for #3. It was muffled in comparison.

    AFIII Underground 80s Metal Riffs - Raven - Over the Top

    I dig the underground riffs. Keep them coming. just a suggestion, but the full 30 second intro, before getting to any content is a bit long. Most channels try to keep their intros under 5 seconds. I learned the hard way. :)

    FullRes IR vs. Reverb

    I thought both sounded really good, but before the reveal, if I had to pick one, I would have picked A. I think we're splitting hairs at this point. It's good to know that on my Rev 1 I can achieve nearly the same thing with the Reverb block. Thanks for those settings!

    Any Linux bros here? (Axe-FX III as interface)

    I used Linux Mint 20.x for several months and the Axe-III works just fine with no additional drivers or tweaking. Axe Edit worked ok under WINE, but I had to do a hack to get the mouse cursor to show up properly. I wanted to stay with Linux, I really did, but there were other applications I...

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 5 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #2

    just a thought, as I will be happy with whatever Cliff decides, but what if the Master volume of the amp was made to have no effect at all on the actual volume? Make the Master Volume simply control the amount of power tube compression/saturation at the authentic setting (taper) of each amp...

    AFIII Rumblin' Train

    Thank you. I have two Andersons, but I think that one has the H3 in the bridge. I used the HBE V2 model. Nothing special, just bass, mid and treble to taste and then as much gain as I needed.

    EQ'ing presets for live performance

    One suggestion I could make if you are running direct to the PA using the cab sims...set the high pass filter to around 80hz in the Cab block. You don't want to compete with the bass player and if you don't filter out the low lows you'll get needless rumble through not only the mains, but the...

    First opinions of Axe-Fx III

    Can the Axe-Fx III do this?

    Thank you! That is what I was hoping for. I'd probably get one of those little Boss pedals and dedicate that as the A/B switch.
  64. bstaley

    Can the Axe-Fx III do this?

    One reason is because I already own two Sennheiser systems. Two, my transmitters are tucked into velcro pouches attached to my straps, so I'd have to remove them from the pouch to access the power button. That would take much longer than simply pressing a button on a footswitch.
  65. bstaley

    Can the Axe-Fx III do this?

    Then I would have to keep two full presets, along with 8 scenes in sync for any changes I might make. I know there are some options with global blocks, but I would really prefer to avoid that complication.
