    Workaround for "Power Amp only"

    Hmmm, I tried a PEQ but got nowhere near. I'm very slow but will give this a whirl. Am thinking of using the RedWire multi ir 'click' tool but instead of using the ir's, route it through the AXE FX. Hoping there is an inverter on the DAW somewhere.........? The only thing I can think of is...

    Want to add some Solid State Amps to Amp Block

    Asking what a L7 is? Or saying they suck, why am I using it? :lol: The L7 has the same amp as the L5 but instead of 2x12 speakers it has 4x10. There was an L3: 60 watt 1x12, L4: 200 watt Bass head, L9: 100 watt 1x15, L11: Not 100% on this one may have been a 200 watt head with 4x12 or even...

    Ok I've never done that but only use my own presets and always tweeked/stared from scratch after an update. Does this mean the newer parameters don't work on my Axe? I just figured they were subtle? Maybe freaking for no reason so if Jay/Java can just say yes/no to what I said/did ie Do newer...

    Thoughts on upgrading from version 5.19 to 10.2

    Hard to know what exactly what they mean. If you have a load of presets you like then updating to 7.x then re-tweeking your presets might be an idea then tweeking again when 10.x is installed? Maybe the hardware won't take to it but I can't see that (but then again I didn't design the...

    Is a Crown CE4000 a good choice for powering 2 atomic cabs?

    Re: Is a Crown CE4000 a good choice for powering 2 atomic ca The THD is rather high @ 0.5%. Not sure what money you're talking for the CE4000 but you should be able to get a better quality amp for £350-400 imho. Check out QSC RMX series. M P.s. I just picked up a Crest 6001 for £400, its...

    is it possible?

    If I'm reding this right then no, as the signal to these two outputs can't be seperated. What I did once was branch off an 'FX Send' block before the Cab IR, run the FX send output to your power amp then cab and use your XLR/Balanced outs to your PA. Mark

    QSC GX5 into a 300 watt cab... issues?

    The only way you can spot on do this (as far as I know) is take the JCM800 sim, turn the sag down to zero (which switches the power section off) record a clean (no effects at all) guitar riff or what ever, loop it in to the input of the axe fx. Make your chain in the Axe CAE Amp1 > PEQ > JCM800...

    Need tone patches will Pay

    Yeah cab and power amp sections can be turned off globally. Or, you can stick an fxloop in the chain, use your fx send to your power amp and use your FRFR as usual. Axe Fx is cool like that. Edit:- Forgot to say that if you do that you would need to zero out the 'sag' in the advanced parameters.

    Ride the lightning

    I also heard that James spent days with the PEQ to get a smooth tone using the TS 808. You may have some luck using a amp without a pedal in front of it. I've been messing with the Das Metal sim lately (another user made a great MOP tone using it). RTL could be dragged out of it I'm sure.
