Act fx 2 vs bad cat classic pro

I'm looking for a living room solution to get me playing more. I have an old axe fx 2 that I don't use and am debating this trade straight across for a bad cat combo. In the music room I've got a 3 I run into a clr mk 2 but I don't get up there as much. I guess an option would be to buy a...

Simple setup question

I currently have my axe fx 2 hooked up from my computer to both studio monitors and a clr. The problem I want to avoid is that with this setup is that I have to turn on the axe 2 in order to listen to audio on my computer. Could a simple USB audio interface allow me to keep all that...

Big upgrade?

With the black Friday sale I jumped into a 3 and fc6. The only reason I upgraded from an ultra was for the USB on the 2 (original mk1 axe 2).I've been happy but the mfc was always giving me errors. After a few drinks with the family I just ordered a 3 and fc6. I have no idea how much better if...

Audio stutter

I recently upgraded to ares on my mk 1 axe fx II and now if I'm trying to jam along with a youtube video or a track from google music I get this stutter going on that makes it impossible. When it is just the music or just me playing there are zero issues but a few seconds into me playing it...

ngd. suhr content

I think I happened to find another keeper in this Suhr T. The mahogany/maple gold top T really compliments basswood/maple modern on a bunch of levels. From the more subdued and familiar yet different looks, to the chunkier neck and smaller frets creating a much different feel under the fingers...

Separate input and output paths

I currently have an original axe fx 2. I was wondering if there is a way that I can have audio coming from my computer through USB to studio monitors on one output and the guitar to a frfr can on another . Thanks in advance.

I was just wondering if any of you have had it name time out after having worked for a few foot switch inputs every time you reboot. Every time I power on, the mfc and my axe fx 2 communicate but after i switch patches or banks a few times, I lose patch names and control and an eventual name...

Bug? Yet another name timout issue.

So I've followed all the steps and advice I could find. Both the axe and mfc are up to date. When using a cat5 the two communicate and then randomly if I change a preset, they will stop playing nicely. When chaning the mfc patches, nothing happens on the axe fx and then I get an eventual name...

What is "it" that the axe fx is missing?

I love this thing but I recently bought a mesa dc-5 (for $320 so I kinda had to). Now, I do use the axe fx through a pair of studio monitors and the last time I used a frfr 12" was ages ago but it still seemed different. Maybe its a looseness or maybe it is just volumes of air being pushed but I...

Bought a real amp

I just purchased an amp for the first time since I first got my ultra many years ago. Its a mesa boogie dc 5 combo. Despite the fact that the axe fx cured me of any amp gas it was really hard to pass up on a mesa for $320 locally. The first thing I noticed was how heavy this thing is. Dont miss...

Suhr modern satin vs PRS cu22

From a purely financial perspective, which would you choose? I have an opportunity to trade my Suhr for the PRS. It is my second modern and gets very little playing time. I don't know that the PRS would see more time but I do imagine it would fit better between my modern and classic Suhrs.

How do you listen to music?

I was just wondering how you guys listen to music around the house. I think I am about to pull the trigger on some studio monitors for my computer/guitar but I was wondering what you guys use when you are just around the house. Thanks.

how do you drive your tone?

ive always had pretty hot pickups in order to give my tone a little kick. with the axe fx it seems it could be easily done with pedals, preamp, "tube saturation" and even speaker breakup. it got me thinking that if i started using some colder pickups i could get a much more versatile setup and...
