    R.I.P Joe Morello

    Sorry to share that the great drummer, Joe Morello, has passed away. I felt personally connected to Joe through my Dad, a drummer, who really idolized him, and through Steve J., a drummer I played in bands with for many many years, who was a life-long student of Joe's. A funny story I remember...

    MFC-101 and Axe-Edit Merge Rig : Parts Sources

    Just a note that after working with a fellow forumite (hi AustinBuddy) on the issue of MFC-101 and Axe-Edit merge, I asked guitar-cable.com for a specific part number that would assuredly work for the merger that many of us use. I have found their build quality to be top-notch. That part is...

    Guitar solo... No.

    I was visiting a friend who was working on a home recording. He asked me to add a short slide guitar solo. It was bad enough he had no slide -- he had no guitar! Thinking fast, I hooked up an SM57 to the DAW, sang a few takes, and then ran it through the Ultra which I had in my trunk. Enjoy :-)

    Pete Thorn praises his Axe-Fx at PremierGuitar.com

    Pete Thorn, in his first appearance as a regular columnist at PremiereGuitar.com, writes about using his Axe Fx as an all-in-one rig. "I was thrilled with the results." http://m.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2011/Jan/The_Working_Guitarist_Your_B_Rig_Getting_Great_Tones_With_Minimal_Gear.aspx

    PAM.... Ug

    First off, Pam is already quite a bit slower than, say, Rusty Cooley. Second... I've never heard WORSE tone. Someone send these people an Axe-Fx BUY NOW link...

    Recreating H3000 Angel Hair

    Hi, Does anyone out there have an H3000 or some knowledge of the settings of the patch "704 - Angel Hair" A friend asked me to recreate this on the Ultra and I can't find the specifics. I understand it is a harmonizer with feedback? Thanks in advance.

    MFC Power Tip: Surrogate IAs

    I've seen a few threads asking how to assign a single Axe-Fx IA switch across multiple effects. Some advise, "Just set your effects to the same CC." This misses the important detail that if the main effect assigned to the IA is not actually present in the patch-- the MFC will detect it as OFF...

    New Vinyl Crackle / Lofi patch

    I posted this in a thread where someone was looking to recreate the Izotope Vinyl plugin. It was suggested that it should make an appearance here in "Recordings." The patch uses synths for the vinyl noise/hiss/hum and a modulated delay for the warped record effect. Guitar and Axe-Fx recorded...

    New video of Dweezil

    Hi all. Did you see this new video of Dweezil? Some great playing and cool sounds. This is the rig and sounds that were used for the Jeff Beck gig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZtdCJV_wwk

    Tip: Look Ahead as a precise sub millisecond delay

    Hi all, Thought I'd share a tip. The new LOOK AHEAD parameter in the compressors provides what I think is the shortest delay with high resolution parameter control. That is to say, it offers 128 values between 0.000 and 2.000. Such a microdelay can be used with the compressor settings dialed...

    New Volume Tapers not for INPUT VOL control source?

    It would be most useful if the new volume tapers could somehow be made available for use with the input volume control target, where a volume pedal is easy to simulate globally.

    Who can count high?

    How many parameters in the axe-fx today? How many values?

    HOOHOO! Love the vibe of fast attack compressor in 7.16

    I really like the vibe of the fast attack / fast release compressor in 7.16! "Grit-B-Gone." Nice and smooth. Thanks, Cliff!

    GLOBAL Noise Gate

    Would love a switch on the NOISE GATE to enable a GLOBAL or PATCH mode. Global might need a little buffer to store its values?

    The new Pedal Compressor is unbefreakinginglievable.

    Anyone out there who isn't on 7.08 should jump at the chance to check out the new pedal compressor. This thing feels great. Goodbye Vintage Ross. Adios Orange Squeezer. Rest in piece BiCompROSSer. I am home.

    Sequencer Swing

    The Sequencer needs a SWING parameter. It should be expressed as a percentage, as in any halfway decent drum machine or sequencer.

    Please add to the TEMPO values

    Please add to the TEMPO values (I mostly care in the STEREO and DUAL delays). 2/3 4/3 5/4 7/4 1/5 1/7

    Looking for CABS for some RADIAN full range coaxial speakers

    Hi, I've been looking for a smaller, lighter FRFR and I'm about down to DIY. The simple truth is I lots of opportunities to jump in the car and play, and I cannot muster moving a proper FRFR (weight, size). I tried the smallest JBLs, QSCs, EVs, Carvin, and I've got to do better. I've...

    Coaxial Speakers?

    Hi, My amp for small gigs is a pair of Tech21 PowerEngines. I replaced the Celestions with some EV speakers but I want to extend the high end. I've looked at a little pair of piezo horns but space is tight so I'm thinking of 12" coaxial speakers. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Is there a TABLES of default values?

    Hi Folks, Is there a table somewhere of default values across the AMP parameters for various TYPEs? Also interested in DRIVE parameter default values for various TYPEs. Thanks in advance,

    Add Features to Improve Groove Sync capabilities.

    PLEASE make it possible to reset/retrigger the AXE-FX's LFOs via midi. Even if this were only possible on the CONTROL LFOs, it would make a world of greater performance experiences possible. This ideally requires 2 components: one to designate which external controller should trigger the...

    Looper Half Double

    It may have been discussed in the other forum before my time, but the LOOPER should have a HALF SPEED / DOUBLE SPEED function. I recognize that this may require an entirely different relationship with memory, but let's talk... :-)

    HOW TO? Pedal to narrow width

    Maybe it's not so easy... maybe I'm just tired? I have a stereo signal that I want to gradually change to a mono signal using my foot pedal on EXT2. What's the simplest way to do this? I sure wish that the VOLUME's PAN controls could be hooked up to modifiers.

    ENVELOPE should be AFTER INPUT VOLUME

    The I/O Control INPUT VOLUME should be before the envelope detector.

    Push the ENVELOPE

    I'd like to request some Envelope enhancements. I will upload some sounds that indicate the direction this will allow me to take sound design with the Axe FX. Thanks for your consideration. 1. MONITOR AT - INPUT - ROW X / - BLOCK Y - OUTPUT (SUM) 2. Please make THRESHOLD be MODIFIABLE

    Allow Ducker Attenuation Amount to be connected to Mod

    Please make the Delay Ducker Attenuation amount work with modifiers. It's nice to apply a pedal here, or a stomp switch!

    Delay Time RATIO for wicked "doppler" FX

    Whether you use a sequencer, drum machine, or plain old foot stomp, tempo sync'd delays are THE best. But sitting in the pocket for so long, things get a little... linty. The request: I'm looking for a delay time RATIO control which in effect sits between the time calculator and the global...

    Q control on delay

    Holding out for variable Q on the filter of the delay. Having the slope control is lovely-- a fabulous addition, and I'm grateful, but I'm inserting a filter in the send/return whereas a Q control would allow for the super squelchy Space Delay tones I crave (and their gorgeous, more subtly...

    Add a 2nd Enhancer

    Now that the enhancer is more powerful with phase inversion and true panning, having a 2nd one would be very useful to manipulate the dry and effected chains separately (or 2 effect runs!) Please make a 2nd Enhancer block available. Thanks,

    Better Through Zero Flanging

    Despite the fact that the Chorus, Mod Delay, and Flanger blocks allow lots of zero crossing effects, the musical potential of these falls short of what can be achieved with the best of this effect. I'd like to express an interest in some richer capabilities for the Axe FX here. I created a...

    Modifier Mode: RELATIVE

    It would be great if MODIFIER included an option for RELATIVE mode instead of absolute. When activated, the value of the modified param would be the PRODUCT of the PARAM's CURRENT VALUE (as shown on its regular knob or menu) and the MODIFIER VALUE (0-100%) I find myself wishing for this type of...

    Modifiable Frequency Parameter in the Parametric EQ

    It would be great if one (or more) of the FREQUENCY parameters in the parametric EQ could be modifiable, even if this results in artefacts. I'm not thinking so much of real-time tweaking, as much as quick remote adjustment to find a sweet spot for different guitars, rooms, etc. Today, I am using...

    Please Add LAYOUT:MIX:INPUT SELECT

    Would really like each row of the main mixer to have an input selector: LEFT, RIGHT, STEREO, SUM L+R for each channel pair. Lots of creative possibilities with summed or "halved" chains when PAN is truly PAN instead of BALANCE. This would simplify many of the tricks I've been using for zero...

    HIGHCUT Q in DELAY for Squelchier Feedback!

    I'd love a Q control on the highcut filter in the loop of the delay (even if only the MONO delay.) Aiming to make squelchy, Space Delay high feedback tones... This is possible now, of course to use the filter and SEND/RETURN structures, but S/R is a bit more cumbersome.

    Fixed Harmony Master Pitch +/- 100%

    Please extend the range of the MASTER PITCH to correspond to the fact that pitch shift values can be either POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. The possibilities for modifiers which switch from one to the other hold fantastic musical potential. I am hoping to recreate some fantastic programs from the Roland...

    2x4 Mixer

    In my never ending quest for mono-manipulation, I've had another idea that makes me really hungry. The 2x4 Mixer would provide true independent control of all 8 channels in the 4-pair stereo rows. Nothing more than level and pan are needed, so it would be just like the existing mixer with the...

    Minor Inconsistency in Knob WRAP behavior.

    I've noticed that LEFT/RIGHT doesn't "wrap" on the MIX screen as it does for all other KNOB screens I checked. I'll add the editorial comment that I like the MIX way better: no wrapping.

    Shortcut for 2-way stepping through blocks with EDIT

    On the Axe-FX today, one uses successive presses of the EDIT button to step forwards through a logically-ordered sequence of the blocks used in the current preset. This is wonderful and innovative. But too often, when looking for a block, I find I've overstepped it, only to find I need to go...

    Enhancer "SPREAD" knob for mono/reduced/reverse pan width FX

    Interface Shortcut to RESET or ZERO the selected parameter

    I wish for an interface shortcut for returning a selected parameter's value to zero (or to it's particular "zeroed" state. For a KNOB param on a KNOB page, the shortcut might be HOLD UP, PRESS DOWN (or vice versa) On a MENU param on a MENU page, the shortcut might be HOLD LEFT, PRESS RIGHT (or...
