    Suggestions on what you've done to enjoy 18.03

    Just an idea... Perhaps the system reset could be enhanced with options to select the collections of items to be reset? For example... By default, it would select all items that are reset today. But the enhancement would enable the user to override by un-selecting the collections of items...

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Good to know, thanks! So at risk of beating a dead horse... When Auto Engage is set to one of the SPD values, does the PC Reset setting really have any effect? Or to put it another way, is SPD the equivalent of PC Reset = Yes?

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Thanks, that makes sense. So is it safe to assume that if SPD is selected, then the behavior I originally described as an "issue" is actually working as designed? Meaning, since the pedal is not moving on a Preset Change (PC), it just uses the block's saved state (On or Off)?

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Thanks! That seems to have fixed it for me -- using POS instead of SPD. From the Wiki Controllers and modifiers: Auto-Engage ## Firmware 11.04: "Added speed (SPD) vs. position (POS) options to Modifier Auto-Engage parameters. The SPD options engage the effect when the controller changes...

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Yes, I'm still using Medium Speed (SPD) -- not Medium Position (POS). But I'll give POS a shot

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Well, now I just seem to be confusing myself (and maybe others, too). Despite my "progress", it's still not quite working as expected. See if this makes sense... In FW 18.01 (for me), it's as if a Preset can save the state of a block (On or Off), even when the block's Modifier is set to...

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    I've since made progress.... I had been using FW 18.01 with Axe-Edit-Win-v3p1p5. And I had tweaked some of my patches via that version of Axe Edit shortly after upgrading to FW 18.01. And that's when I first experienced the issue I reported above. So I've since gone "old school", and just...

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Thanks! Yes, it worked as expected with previous versions (17.x). So that's why I'm at a bit of a loss here.

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Here's my setup.... Roland EV-5 plugged into the Pedal port, and mapped to External 1. I usually use this to control the Wah Behringer FCB-1010 (w/ UNO chip) plugged into Axe-FX II's MIDI IN port. And its two expression pedals are mapped to External 2 & 3 (respectively). External 2 for...

    FW 18.01 - Preset Change w/ External Controller - Auto Engage & PC Reset

    Hi All, I'm really enjoying FW 18.01 so far -- thanks Cliff! But I seem to be experiencing a small issue with it. And I'm not quite sure if it's a bug or something else. I have a Reverb 1 block within all of my Presets, with the following Modifier settings for Input Gain: Source: External...

    Metallica tonematches/patches extravaganza v3.0! (FW15.03)

    Great thread!! As you may know, Flemming Rasmussen is an engineer that worked on some of Metallica's earlier albums (RTL, MOP & AJFA). And there's an older thread on another site that includes some notes & comments from Mr. Rasmussen himself regarding the recording of MOP & AJFA (amps, mics...

    EVH's original Plexi and the FAS Brit Brown amp

    In my rig, I've found the BRIT SUPER amp comes the closest so far to nailing the VH1-era tone. For me, there's just something special about that amp's low-mids & attack/bite. Still, there are plenty of other amps in the Axe-FX II that might be much more capable of getting even closer. For...

    EVH's original Plexi and the FAS Brit Brown amp

    EVH's Super Lead 100 (#12301) has changed over the years (parts, tone, etc). There's plenty of research and speculation on the web. Most seem to insist the VH1-era amp was stock, perhaps with one minor (insignificant?) exception. Then again, no two "stock" 12xxx amps had identical parts. For...

    Electronic Cigarettes. Are they bad for you?

    2 more cents... Like most smokers looking to try e-cigs, I was initially drawn towards the form factor of regular cigs (shape, size, etc). But for me, I quickly discovered the performance of such e-cigs was lacking -- very short battery life, limited & muted flavors, etc. It just wasn't doing...

    Electronic Cigarettes. Are they bad for you?

    I gave up "analog" cigs for "digital" cigs about 3 weeks ago, and still very much a noob. But in that short time, I can definitely feel a healthier difference (breathing, smelling, etc). And the transition was easier than I thought it would be. It also helps that digital cigs can be...

    FCB1010 UnO - Instructions for Setting up Scenes & Expression Pedals

    I regularly use just a handful of Axe-FX II presets (v9.02). Each involves: - A common template layout (blocks, routings, etc.) - Extensive use of Global blocks, X/Y settings, Looper, etc. - Multiple Scenes My goal was to control the above using just one bank within the FCB1010. And the...

    Pair of 1x12s w/ an SLA?

    First, thanks for all the great feedback! So many options... :? But I'm leaning towards a pair of convertible Avatar 1x12 cabs. Perhaps Avatar's Traditional G112 Wide cabs with a Hellatone 60 (V30) and a Hellatone 30 (G12H30). Any thoughts? I was thinking of a V30, too. But I wasn't sure...

    Pair of 1x12s w/ an SLA?

    I'm interested in adding a stereo SS power amp, guitar cabs & speakers to my Axe-FX, and I could use some suggestions/advice. IMHO, guitar cab & mic sims are great for recording (especially w/ Red Wire IRs). But for this addition, I'm looking for a compact yet flexible setup to get a true "in...

    Axe-Fx Std. and Ultra Version 9.03 Firmware Available

    Is MIDI Thru completely turned off (Edirol & Bome)? If so, maybe it's the AFX's Tempo...? Try going to IO > MIDI, and set "Send Realtime SysEx" to None.

    Best MIDI USB interface for Windows 7 x64?

    FYI, here's my recent experience... I went to Sam Ash, and they recommended the Cakewalk UM-1G, which essentially replaces Edirol's UM-1EX. The UM-1G offers Windows 7 drivers -- both 32-bit and 64-bit (http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Interface/DriverUM.aspx?Prod=UM-1G). So I bought the...

    Best MIDI USB interface for Windows 7 x64?

    It seems there's currently a lack of MIDI USB interfaces for the 64-bit edition of Windows 7. And even those that claim to be compatible may be hit-or-miss with the Axe-FX (system updates, storing IRs, etc). I'm in the market for such an interface, and I want to hit the bullseye. At the...
