    Please, I need some midi help

    You're trying to update the firmware via the GT-10? You mention an Edirol FA-101...is there any reason you're not using the Edirol to make the transfer? The only thing that stands out to me is I believe your axe-fx sysex id should be set at 00 01 74 instead of 00 00 7d. You also need midi...

    updating to 11.00

    Is there a reason you're using midi ox instead of the editor to upload the firmware? For what it's worth I have been updating firmware since 5.x with no issues.

    Those of us with Standards, it's okay.

    This is exactly where I was three years ago. And after the "waiting list" discount I think I paid $1200 for the standard. My setup sounds much better than the amp/pedals thing without all the fuss.
  7. megalowmatt

    Those of us with Standards, it's okay.

    One thing that seems to get overlooked is the fact that the Standard and Ultra are equivalent in the sound they produce given a simple amp-cab-effects signal chain. The difference is that the ultra has additional processing and memory that allows for more effects, looper, multi-band compressor...

    AC30 tone without the monster treble?

    Try the maz 38. Sometimes I switch to that one if I feel the ac30 has too much top end for what I'm doing.

    A Common Axe-FX complaint:

    Radley - do you feel that way, or is it just the other guitarists' opinion? Are they making this determination by monitoring via IEM or FOH? The only thing I can offer is that I work as a media director at a church and have the opportunity to hear a handful of pretty good rigs --from a /13...

    Toying with the idea of FRFR ..questions about main mixer

    Re: Toying with the idea of FRFR ..questions about main mixe xrist04 is correct. You could use a mic to line pad. another option is to utilize the line inputs on the 1604. The 1604 does not have a channel pad switch but rather a separate input on each channel. This requires a female xlr to...

    Question about "bank 0" for Rocktron midi mate

    You need to set the midi display offset in the axe to 1. That way the midimate will then control 0 to 9. There is of course no preset "0" in the axe but the mm will control, for example 10-14 on the bottom row in controller mode. It works in banks of five starting from 0. Hope this helps. matt

    Have you tried using it with a different modifier, like volume or mix? That would at least help distinguish if it's only the wah block.

    Weird problem adjusting factory presets

    I am curious about this as well. I did it today for the first time since I have had my axe-fx (over two years) after reading this thread. I didn't wipe out the patches I have created, but I didn't get a chance to really listen to what it may have done.

    Redwirez EVM12L vs Axe FX E12L - anyone compared the two?

    Re: Redwirez EVM12L vs Axe FX E12L - anyone compared the tw Sorry for the ignorant question, but is the EVM-12L typically used in a Dumble-style amp? I have used the E12L in the Axe in combination with the JTM45 and thought it sounded really good.

    One last question before I take the plunge....

    See the link below. This guy has a series of videos that speak to how the Axe handles different pickups. Every modeler I have played before left little definition in pickups and pickup configuration. I think these videos speak for themselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-nHCW0e ...

    Fender Deluxe - Am I crazy?

    I've gotten something pretty similar to that vibe with the Blackface block, rewire Fender blue ir (royer 6" off cap cone) and the fat rat drive in front of the amp set at really low gain (I think around .85 or right around 1.0). Just add reverb.

    How to set up Axe with Presonus Firebox for monitoring

    For just monitoring purposes, you need to connect the Firebox to a computer via firewire and have the Firebox mixer application open on the computer. the software mixer is responsible for the routing in the Firebox. A DAW is not necessary unless you are recording. Hope this helps.

    Tech21 Power Engine?Last ditch effort before Fractomic ships

    Does This Sound Like an AC30?

    Thanks everybody. Those Redwires irs are really good. I have only bought the ac30 so far but I am planning on getting the Marshall 1960a and the deluxe sets. There's something about those ir's that add the finishing touch to the overall direct sound.

    Does This Sound Like an AC30?

    Axe FX in Lincoln Brewster's Future: Maybe sooner than later

    "Amp in the room" - Why?

    So who moderates the moderators? :P So to revive a question I asked earlier, what is/are the best ir's to use for the "amp in the room" feel? I am imagining they are speakers captured without their traditional respective cabinets(?). Thanks! matt
  59. megalowmatt

    "Amp in the room" - Why?

    Are there any specific IR's that work best for the amp in the room technique? If so, I am guessing that the mic should be set to "none"(?). Thank you, matt

    Another AxeFx Version?

    Getting stage volume down with Mesa 2:90 poweramp

    I know a lot of guys use plexiglass shields on guitar cabinets but I don't understand the concept. Maybe it's my pea brain but those sound waves need to go somewhere and it seems there would be a lot of activity in the area between a really loud transducer and a hard, smooth surface. :|
