    Redwirez Is Shutting Down

    Is this still working? I went to the "old" site and was able to login, but it won't let me download any of my purchased IR's. I can see them, but when I click a link, it just times out. I updated to the new site, but it doesn't show any of my old purchases.

    Persistent control switch state when switching back and forth between scenes

    Okay, so if I set all the scenes to last, then I have to turn it off on scenes that don't need it. I guess I'll just need to make a dedicated scene with the boost off or on instead.

    Persistent control switch state when switching back and forth between scenes

    The state of the effect block (in my example delay) being remembered when coming back to a previous scene is working as expected. I'm asking about the state of the control switch. In my example, I turn CS for amp boost in one scene. When I switch scenes (not presets) and come back to that...

    Wireless Options/Connections for FC12/6

    It might (doubtful not knowing the specifics about what is transmitted between AxeFx and FC) work for communication, but it definitely won't power FC. At the very least, you would have to plug in FC for power.

    Is there a negative to using Cab block Level for solo boost? How do you create your boost for solos?

    Depends on where the cab is in your chain. If it is the last block, then it shouldn't be any different. If there are blocks after the cab, it will boost the level going into them and could possibly alter your sound.

    Atomic Reactor Wedges

    I just ran output of Axe3 into the effects loop return and it works fine whether I have the dock in or out. Something must be wrong with your amp. Make sure the internal speaker button is pressed in.

    Atomic Reactor Wedges

    You don't need the docking station. I've got 7 atomics (several reactors, passive wedges, and CLRs). I pretty sure you can plug (output from AxeFx) into the return on the back and it goes straight to the power amp. The input on the top is for using a modeler that is docked.

    Help - Atomic Reactor 50 Sounds Bassy and Not Clear

    Shouldn't make any difference in sound. I prefer to run separate outputs (usually 1 to FOH and 2 to monitor) so I can independently control volume. If I need to hear myself better, I step on expression pedal which increases volume to output 2 only. This way I don't mess up levels going to FOH.

    Tone match for AX8

    1. Yes 2. Fine on floor (I use a wedge though) 3. Send output 1 to FOH and output 2 to wedge monitor (CLR) and I control volume to monitor with pedal. 4. CLR is ideal. Unless you are running power amp into cab, I recommend FRFR over PA speakers.

    Flipping through the presets, here's another example. Vox AC30 - The pdf show Delay 1 "All Purpose Delay" controlled by foot switch 8. The foot switch instead controls Delay 2 which is a ping-pong delay without ducking. Delay 1 is tied to the LEAD BOOST control switch. GEQ boost is only 1.50 dB.

    How to connect the Friedman ASM12?

    If going mono, copy L to R to avoid any weird phase cancellation when summing. I would run XLR from out 1 to FOH and run out 2 to ASM. That way you can use an expression pedal to control your stage volume without affecting the level going to FOH.
