    Heavy Duty Ethernet for the Axe-Fx II and MFC-101

    I remember using a CAT5 for my G-System and the one I had was too stiff. It wouldn't lay flat on the stage and always caused problems. When someone gets one of these CAT5's can you tell me if they are better? The benefit of MIDI and guitar cables for that matter is they are designed to be...

    Calibration for External Controllers

    Sorry to jump into this thread but I have a question that is related. Is there a "master" modifier for an External Controller? IOW, can I create a custom response curve for my expression pedal that will automatically work for every preset? I want to use my expression pedal to control the...

    Setting for minimum output volume

    I don't want this request to die, it is too important to me. Here is a copy of a post I posted at the Liquid Foot forum as I can get the same end result, it just seems to make more sense to add the feature to the Axe than to the controller but either way will work for me...

    AFX clean tones

    For me, I have trouble dialing in the clean sound I have in my head. To be fair, I hardly ever use a clean tone so I don't spend alot of time working on that sound. There is an art to dialing in tone. For my crunch tones, I feel confident and have enough experience to dial in a good tone in...

    Setting for minimum output volume

    The problem with the Mixer block (and I am doing the same in the amp's level) is that it takes so long to setup the sweep of the pedal to get a good difference in volumes. This is what I would love: In the I/O menu: Out Volume=External Controller 1 Minimum Value=(assignable from 0-99%) That...

    Acoustic guitar sim

    Yes, you can assign a global bypass but you would still have to assign your expression pedal control to each instance of the wah block you add. But you can set up one wah block and then copy it to each preset you need. Personally, I like it that way because you can create a different wah for...

    Atomic Reactor FR vs Verve 12ma

    Yup, that's what we were talking about. When I first used the Atomic, I was standing right in front of the Axe which is atop of the Atomic so I got squealing. Once I backed away it was fine. So far I haven't had any squealing in band level playing at normal distances with very hot pickups.

    Your gain is probably too high. I found the same problem with the Evil 800 preset (after I modified it). When I went back to the stock Evil 800 preset, all was well.

    What is the deal with the mic model?

    I understand your post completely. I only point out that you have a unique standing here. You are considered by most, if not all as an authority on cab ir's. I only want to be sure that the rest of us mere mortals don't think that the mic sims should never be used because of your statement.

    What is the deal with the mic model?

    I don't think anyone should be so closed minded as to make a rule not to use the mic sims. Sometimes, its just what the preset needed! If you think about how the Axe works, the mic sims are just another filter to shape your tone.

    You're not delusional at all but if you think the average PA sounds anything like a good studio system, you are mistaken. I understand what you are trying to accomplish but I think that the difference in sound quality between the 12ma and the Atomic won't affect your FOH tone. In fact, I...

    Which initial path?
