    F12-x200 - thiele or celestion design? Who's tried both?

    I've got an x200 on the way via a forum member here. Doug Doppler used Thiele cabs in his YouTube demos and i hear good things about those speakers in Thiele Cabs. Then there is also the Celestion cab designed specifically for the speaker, which def has some thiele-like qualities. Anyway, I...

    Matrix alternatives?

    SO I am thinking of going the cab/power amp route. I am looking at options. I would likely be running a Thiele with a 200 watt, 8ohm EVM-12L (in the AxeFx, 90% of my cab selections are the EVM12L anyway :) ). So the Matrix GT800 is too expensive for me at around $700 plus S/H. I can't find a...

    Forum threads still missing?

    So, when everything migrated over to this new forum, was all the old stuff supposed to be migrated as well? I see a ton of stuff missing, and yet see some posts from say 2009. I didn't see any announcements or anything. Anyone care to give me a clue? :-)

    Pod X3 Live as MIDI controller for AxeFx questions

    OK, so I have a few questions for those of you using your X3 Live (with the latest updates) as a controller for your AxeFx: Can you configure the upper row of 5 switches on the X3L to act as Instant Access Switches on the AxeFx? My main concerns are this: - Switching to the right patch (duh -...

    Multi-tracking guitar parts emulation w/ the Axe

    These days many bands, not just metal bands, doulbe, triple, quad, etc. track the rhythm parts. This gives them a thick, heavy tone, but not muddy. The result is in a cover band with one guitar, it can sound a bit thin or empty. So I'm wondering what strategies you guys have tried to get that...

    Gtr amp vs Studio Mons vs powered speakers (QSC, etc.)

    OK, so right now I'm running my AxeFx through my Tech21 acoustic guitar amp. I've heard people say that having that tweeter makes it sound so much better. If my tweeter is connected or not, it sounds the same to me. I'm wondering if there is something wrong or not, and what I might be missing...

    Warning on Hosa 7-pin midi cable

    Look at this cable: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/ ... sku=333039 I bought this and did not notice the alignment of the right-angle to the 7 MIDI pins. Long story short - You can NOT connect the right-angle end to the AxeFx. The right-angle will block the power cable connector right...

    Ground Control IA not working - what am I doing wrong?

    OK, so I HAD this working. I think this was before I upgraded to 9.00. I have a DMC Ground Control (not Pro). Connects to the AxeFx on MIDI channel 1. It is set to "Bank 4" more - this means that pedals 1-4 select the patch, bank up & Down pedals are bank up/down, and pedals 6-10 are IA...

    Help, I think my loops (send/return) are broken

    I've never really gotten this working properly. At this point I'm wondering if my AxeFx is just broken and if I need to send it in. First, the Physical connections: So I run guitar into the front (left/mono) output 2 (send) goes to effects device (left/mono) input 2 (return) goes from effects...

    Mono & stereo effects - FX loop or not to loop?

    So here is the situation. I have the following 3 effects that I need to decide where they are going to go in the chain, and then get some sort of a bypass to suit: VG-8 - Since I have a standard, and I will likely need some sort of synth sounds, I'm putting my VG-8 on the floor. It offers...

    Roland VG-8 / 88 / 99 with the axe

    Just wondering how ev4eryone has this setup? I have a VG-8 and a VG-88. I think I want to incorporate my VG-8 into my rack (over the VG-88 because of the HRM in the VG-8, and the better acoustic and bass modeling in the vg-8 - at least in my opinion). So my first instinct was if emulating a...

    Best place to reduce output clipping?

    Since I upgraded to 9.0 from 7.xx, every single one of my patches lights up that output clip light! My input is only at between 9 and 10 O'clock, so it's barely turned up. There is no input clipping. But that output clipping comes on constantly. :-( Where is the best place to reduce this...

    FX Loop, line levels, volume, and input gain?

    OK, I want to put my old Digitech IPS33B into the loop of the AxeFx. I have found the following: 1) Gtr-->AxeFx Nice, heavy gain. Everything is fine 2) Gtr-->IPS33B-->AxeFx (front or rear input) Gain is WAY down. I suspected that this was because I was putting line-level input into an...

    The Vibe

    So, I updated the Axe to 9.0, and jumped right into the Vibe. HUGE improvement! Now it sounds like a univibe, and not an imitation that misses the mark! Awesome. Also the configurability of this Vibe is much greater than any Vibe unit out there that I can think of except for maybe Roger...

    Easy (hopefully) MIDI question (Ground Control + Axe-Fx)

    OK, so I have an old (original) Ground Control (not pro). I have the last firmware, and have the memory upgrade that should let me access up to 360 presets. I have it set to "Bank4" mode. This gives me a top row of IA switches, and 4 preset switches per bank. Can't remember how many banks...

    Black lines on LCD when powering off

    Anyone else have this? I noticed that when I power off my Axe I have these black vertical lines running from the top to the bottom. They range from thin to about half the width of the LCD. After I don't know, 5 minutes maybe(?), they go away. If I turn the Axe off and I see the lines, and...

    Help w/ Compressor (pedal type) and a tip for the fizzies

    OK, I was playing with getting some Robben Ford-like patches. Now, when A/Bed with Robben Ford recordings, its not exact, but it's pretty damned close. :-) Now one problem that plagues me was getting fizzies on the high-end. It was fairly obvious that these fizzies were related to output...

    Axechange giving me errors when uploading patches

    I tried to upload a patch and got the following error. I didn't see a contact link, so I'm posting here. Anyone got any clues? Is it choking on my patches?: Server Error in '/' Application. String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. Description: An...

    How to fake hammond organ (bass registers) on Standard?

    So I want a patch where a Hammond organ type sound follows the guitar line. You know, that low, rumbling organ sound like you hear in the intro here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU0ccZ_i ... re=related So I was thinking guitar into Axe and the patch would go into an octaver or harmonizer...

    Curve EQ Trick

    This is kinda in response to a thread gone out of control over in the general discussion area (and I share in the guilt, most definitely). This is a trick I used when trying to mimic guitars that I had with my Roland VG-88 and some amps on my Vox TLSE, etc. I haven't tried this yet w/ my AFX...
