    Active Pickups - My Theory

    I played through EMG's(85,81,707,808) for 20 yrs w/tube and solid state preamps.With my 8 string I replaced EMG808's w/Lundgrens and I'm never going back. Why? IMO ...Fuller,warmer,more dynamic and versatile, which the AXE-II excels in also my $.02 Cheers!

    How long time wise does it take to update to 1.04

    AxeII uses Midi,just through the USB cable not traditional midi cable,so no midi interface needed.Just need to set it up in AxeEdit and it works.USBMidi on the II has worked flawlessly on Windows7 for AxeEdit and firmware upgrades.So yes you are correct!

    Is it normal to have my global input set to about 12% (down from 50%)?

    my INSTR IN is at 50%.Lundgren pups,hitting red leds occasionally. my OUT 1 clipped w/presets til I turned down some levels but no input clipping.I thought the unity gain input took care of input clipping(within reason) and the soft knobbers are for trim?

    Mott- to be honest this sounds not the best way to accomplish this.If this is for live or rehearsal it's gonna be way off compared to your reference monitor volumes. IMO, dig into your patches to see whats actually happening(clipping?),are you using any compression etc? Good Luck!
