AFIII Rumblin' Train

A little tribute to one of my favorite guitarists, Mr. Jake E Lee. It's not all note for note, but I was having fun with it, and the amp was LOUD, so that's always fun.

Confusion about USB inputs while recording

I have tried reading the manual and I still can't figure this out. Hoping somebody can clarify for me... I typically (for live use) have my outputs configured as following: Outputs 1/2: Direct to mixing board with FX and amp/cab sims Outputs 3/4: Straight to my Matrix poweramp with FX, but...

Weird Auto-Engage behavior

I hope somebody can help me. I've searched this forum and read through the wiki but can't figure it out. My problem is I have the wah block setup with Auto-Engage. It works fine. The problem is the times when I do NOT plugin my expression pedal. When there's no expression pedal plugged in...

FC-6 lockup during gig

I played my 3rd gig with the Axe-III/FC-6 this weekend. Halfway through the night the pedalboard completely froze. It was still lit up and displaying everything, but was unresponsive to any button pressing. I had to unplug and replug the XLR cable in between songs and then it seemed to work...

First opinions of Axe-Fx III

I've had two evenings with the Axe-III (A3 ) so far. The main objective has been to migrate the existing patches I want to keep from my Axe-II (A2) so I can sell it. This has allowed me to do a direct comparison using an A/B box to switch between the two. I am using the same exact settings...

Can the Axe-Fx III do this?

I'm currently using two wireless systems with my AX8. I have one for my standard tuning guitar and one for my drop D guitar. I use a A/B box to quickly switch between them live. If I get the Axe III, can I run a wireless into Input 1 (rear) and the second wireless to Input 2 and assign a...

Axe-FX related (Tone-Talk segment with Friedman and Jake E Lee)

Have you guys seen this? It's long, but very entertaining. They both got pretty hammered and were speaking freely to say the least. If you scroll to 2:57 a question is asked about modeling amps. The response was..."interesting". Other than that, there were some entertaining stories. If...

Alice In Chains tribute (more videos)

Hey guys, I posted a video last week from a show and it seemed to be well received. I figured I'd post a few more. I had some requests for the preset and I promise I will post it, it's just that the gear (including Ax8) has been packed due to gigs and rehearsals and I haven't had a chance to...

Alice In Chains HBE content (updated)

I had another thread about this and I posted a couple songs. There was some interest so I put together a compilation video of the night featuring many more songs. Thought you guys might dig it. I cannot get over the tones coming out of this little black box! Thanks for listening.

Thank you Cliff! Alice In Chains, HBE content

Here is some video from this past Saturday. We played a metal festival with over a dozen other bands and I got so many compliments about how good my tone was. This is a direct recording from the board. I used to have a 20 space rack with Egnater M4, Triaxis and Engl e570, VHT poweramp and...

Help, sudden problem with Axe-FX II

I turned my Axe-FX II on last night and there was a horrible hum/hiss/squeal that was overwhelming. The noise was coming through both sets of outputs as well as the headphone jack. I have not updated my firmware for a couple weeks and everything was working fine as of two nights ago. Here is...

Help with using Axe as USB interface in Reaper

I searched the forums and read the manual and maybe I am missing something obvious or maybe it just isn't possible. Here is what I am trying to do. I have the 1/4" main outputs of the Axe going directly to my studio monitors. This works great for hearing my playing without latency and also...

Holy crap...FAS Lead 2. Wow!!!

Stumbled upon this amp and once I dialed it in it has to be one of the best Lead tones I've ever heard, at least for high gain shredding tones. I looked at the wiki and it says it is a British based tonestack but also says it is based on the Triaxis. How is that possible since those two...

Is this possible with MIDI on the Axe?

Due to the continued problems with hiss using the 4CM and the Axe, what I want to do is use my Axess GRX4 switcher to switch the pre fx loop portion of the Axe in and out of the path. For example, for my main patch I would go straight to my preamp and then return through the Axe's loop return...
