    Annoying background noise when connecting FM3 to Mac

    Hi there, I usually record and play using a MacBook Pro connected either to the FM3 or to a zoom Livetrak L-20 thought USB. When connecting the FM3 to the Mac, I have some parasites getting to my speakers, even if I dont select the FM3 as the sound output and if I do, even if the sound of the...

    Special for french owners of an AXE FX : argent trop cher !

    A little emotional story I would like to share with you guys. I'm 55, started playing guitar at 15, had ups and downs, never really practiced dutifully but always loved it. I raised 4 kids (two mine, two from my second wife). My own son is handicapped and he has perfect pitch, he spends most of...

    Amazing plexi ...

    Well thanks for the nice words. Merci les amis. Venant de Fremen qui a eu l'occasion de me montrer ses capacités lors de soirées musicales et avinées, ça fait plaisir. Le cab utilisé est un cab standard, le basketweave Mix, le AX ou le TV (102 ou 103). Now i'm rediscovering the AC 30, both angry...

    Axe FX as sound card for Mac not working anymore ?!

    Well I didnt get any answers so I ended it up figuring it out myself, I'm going to post the solution here in case it happens to someone else. Well, it's strikingly stupid. I had plugged the USB in a 4-port USB extension plugged in my display ... and I guess is the extension port that fucks...

    Axe FX as sound card for Mac not working anymore ?!

    Hi I'm usually using the AXE as the sound card (in/out) with my mac (OSX 10.10.2) to record on logic or just play back music. I had noticed that when the patch is heavy on CPU the sound gets digitally distorded. I can understand that as it's an extra load on the AXE. So now I'm doing this with...

    Rock vs. Country Guitar Duel - Who Won?

    Excellent playing and incredible story. Happy for you. Even if wrote a song like "I wanna jam with Jeff" I'm pretty sure I'd never end up on stage with him :) Big balls and excellent chops. Bravo !

    Amazing plexi ...

    It's not so easy to post a track here because all of you guys play so well, but, well ... I find the FW 18 so "easy and real" that instead of learning scales i just noodle around with some little wing inspiration. Well, I was actually trying to learn the intro note for note and I drifted :-). I...

    V10 Firmware

    I used the Bot, upgraded the firmware, loaded AxeEdit 1.9 (long time no see), everything worked perfectly in no time. I feel like everyone else that there is something more organic in the tones.

    Telecaster pretending to be an ES335

    Where Were you - Jeff Beck Cover

    I'm a huge beck fan and this is probably one of the hardest ones to play because of the vibrato part and this "voice of god" feel. Congratulations, it's really good. I'm going to try the patch right away but not even try tp play the song !

    PERFECT PITCH ?

    At the end of the day your brain is a big piece of computing that's driven by chemicals - natural or artificial. Too bad for the idea that you can escape your mind and become a flying raven when you eat mexican mushrooms - it all happens within your head IMO. My wife had a tooth removed...

    PERFECT PITCH ?

    So this concept of temperament is probably culture-based or "while the brain is still very flexible and most neural connexions are not yet done".

    PERFECT PITCH ?

    That's where it gets complicated : because my understanding is that notes are produced by air vibration, that the basics are : vibrates x2 = octave and vibrates*2/3 = fifth, and that the subdivision is 12 equal intervals is an approximation as the mathematical series do not converge - like when...

    Hey Jon, If you get nausea when you hear off-key sounds it's probably some form of synestesia :-) I can intellectually relate to your experience, for my very ordinary ears what will make me want to puke is people listening to music with blasting distorsion (i mean - harmonic distortion, not...

    Expression Pedals - to switch or not to switch??

    From FCB 1010 to MFC 101

    It's an Express 128, and it's not routable - or if it is I did not find out how to do it. I think the documentation said that there was a software available to do that, but on the more upscale models.

    Sweet fuzz !

    A sweet sounding fuzz sound. I read on the forum the other day that some AXE FX sounds are so good that you cant help play and it's inspiring.

    if you are hooked to the return of the amp, nothing goes to the AFX; it would be the case if you would plug the send of the amp to the AFX; and even if you do this, the worse that can happen is to overload the inputs of the AFX, getting a nasty distortion, but no one dies (except your ears...
