Piano-like clean bass tone

I have a Mike Lull bass 5 string which was custom built, and built with the intent of having a very clean, bright tone. It has an alder body and maple top, and maple neck. Bartolini preamp, J-style pickups (Dimarzio I think), a million tone options on the bass itself, which I am keeping flat...

Dual Fx Loops, 1 out, 1 in?

Have recently gotten an Axe8 to replace my Axe-Fx XL rack mount setup (no more lugging a 4U rack setup - yay!). It's very impressive, and I'm getting more familiar with its many capabilities on my weekly gigs. Would love to have dual amp blocks, though... My present setup is to use Output 1...

Marshall 1974x 18W

I'm helping a friend configure his Axe Fx, and he's asking if I can reproduce the Marshall 1974x 18W. He has a boutique clone of that amp which is his main go-to amp live. Any way I can tweak one of the other Marshalls to mimic this sound?

Any master list of which amps are used by each preset?

Hi folks - Has anyone created a cross-referenced list of which amp models are used by which presets? So if I want to find all presets which use, say, a super reverb or matchless, I can use them as starting points when developing a preset for a specific amp (same with cabs) I started to work...

MFC Setup & organization suggestions

So I'm helping a friend get set up with an XL+ and a MFC 101 Mk III. He's a very good musician but not too tech savvy. He's given me a list of amps & effects he'd like, and its pretty easy to get in the ballpark with some patches. The challenge for me is the MFC config. I'm thinking of giving...

Cello sound: automate volume swells

OK all you Axe-Fx gurus: I am trying to create a patch to have a bass guitar imitate a cello, or a bowed double bass. In general, I'm trying to automate volume swells, with control over the volume curve. I've tried doing this manually with an expression pedal controlling the volume, tweaking...

Axe-Fx Out to PA XLR: serious noise issues

Am using an Axe-Fx II XL+. At home in the studio, output 1 balanced goes to a small mixer, then a digital power amp to studio monitors, and is dead quiet. In church, the balanced out from Out 1 goes to the direct in (XLR) of the PA system (new high-end system, sound guys still getting the...

Acoustic string noise filtering?

I'm working on a patch for acoustic guitar -- basically two boost filters at the end (no amp or cab), preceded by GE, compressor, plus some effects (reverb, phaser, chorus). This is sounding good as far as the overall tonal mix, but the string noise (wound strings sliding up/down) is brutal...

FCB1010 setup questions - preset banks

Trying to set up an FCB1010/Uno with Axe-Fx Ultra. Using the FCB1010 editor, setting pedals to Ultra presets is straightforward (once I figured out the off-by-1 issue) -- as long as the Axe presets are in Bank A (0-128 ). Question is, How do I assign a pedal to Axe presets other than bank A...

Ultra Firmware 10.05 Update Update...

Been struggling for the past week to get update 10.05 installed on my Ultra (from 10.01) -- maddening, as many others have been finding. Tweaked the MIDI buffer settings ad nauseum, tried alternate sysex utilities (eg SendSX), reinstalled drivers, cleaned out old prefs files, changed cables...

Updating Ultra to 10.05

Using Axe-Edit (0.9.191) to attempt to update my Ultra firmware to 10.05, to no avail: Using the same MIDI setup I used to previously update to 10.01 (M-Audio Delta PCI, Windows XP SP3, latest Delta driver), the update fails with the "check MIDI settings" error. 10.01 uses a sysex ID of 00 00...
