    Step 1: Sell Amp- Done. Step 2...

    So the Roadster went today. I just found myself using plugins to practice and record as it was so much easier. I've been reading on the FM9 vs AxeFx3 and trying to figure out which to grab. In terms of reverbs and delays does the FM9 reach its limits quickly or is that only with insane settings...

    DAW Setup for Switching

    Could someone point me at a guide for setting up your DAW for switching presets/scenes/patches? Found some so so vids but nothing that's thorough. Thanks. Sorry in advance as I'm sure this has been asked, but I just haven't found it yet :)

    SLO. Anybody digging this model? Am I missing the point?

    I tried out a 100 watt model in a music store around 2008 and it sounded fantastic even at lower volumes. One of my favourite amps.

    Romancing the Pedals

    I was going to pick up the Captor X to run my Roadster for recording but that's $600 Cdn. Plus all the other previously mentioned pedalboard expenses. Just last week I tried out the demo of the new Neural dsp Mesa plugins and ended up using those more than my amp. After that I started leaning...

    Romancing the Pedals

    I have a Musket pedal and a Pig Hoof. Great pedals for Gilmour.

    I’m thinking of going with the new FM9 myself. I can start there and see how I get along with it.

    Romancing the Pedals

    I was watching far too much of That Pedal Show and thought of putting together a wet dry rig. I’ve been away from any sort of serious playing for a few years since a close musician friend passed. My research into that realm has brought me back here. For the cost of a few Strymon pedals I could...

    Why Is It Always The Axe FX Getting Destroyed?

    His schtick is tired, but it's now become the only way he can maintain viewers. I watched a vid of someone roasting him once that was amusing. It was a compilation of a bunch of terrible tones he'd recorded. His favourite target is Line6's cheaper lines. I used to watch a few years ago but it's...

    Wish Firmware update

    This is sort of the same issue I alluded to with the Ultra in the other post of mine on the FX8. Here's a link to that below. This is why I'm reluctant, while being completely understanding of limited resources etc...

    FX8 Considerations

    In the meantime I'll keep an eye on the FX8 patch thread ;)

    FX8 Considerations

    This is one of my main concerns as well. I had an issue with this regarding the Ultra, which I posted about, but won't get into here. I ended up selling it. Dropping or having inadequate support might discourage some people from purchasing or continuing with the product. Switchers are...

    FX8 Considerations

    I'm going to be using it mainly for recording for now. The cost vs pedals, particularly once you add in a switcher and power, is very appealing with the FX8. Not to mention the cost of boutique pedals. Of course with the pedals you can tailor your sound a bit more with your selection of pedals...
  14. Bird

    FX8 Considerations

    I've been doing what many here have no doubt done, and that is weigh the FX8 against the boutique pedals you so desire :) Perhaps I've watched one too many episodes of That Pedal Show, but I just can't seem to make up my mind between going down the pedal route vs the FX8. Have any of you who've...

    Is the Axe losing its resale value?

    The value is going up if you're Canadian ;) At current exchange rates I would pay, as of 2 minutes ago, an extra $430.16 more at current exchange rates for an FX8 o_O
  17. Bird

    invite to buy fx8

    Plus HST and duty, but even without duty that's over $500 more with exchange and HST. Stupid weak dollar o_O

    The only depressing part of this is the Cdn dollar exchange vs US. About $350 more at current rates. May have to wait for that to improve.

    Control Preset Changes via MIDI

    You'll have to forgive me if this is a stupid one but I just don't get along with midi. Would you be able to present changes using a DAW via midi as you can with AxeFx? I'm assuming you can but just want to clarify.

    Fair price

    Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated :)
  24. Bird

    Fair price

    I think it was a fair question. Many here have bought and sold them. I don't have to be in the process of buying a used Marshall amp to know what a fair price is. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
  25. Bird

    Fair price

    Just wanted to clarify actual value vs kijiji low-baller value.
  26. Bird

    Fair price

    Any suggestions on fair price for used Ultra. I've been trying to sell locally and no one wants to pay more than $1000 Cdn. Low balling I understand but this is ridiculous.

    Slightly saddened by Guthrie... Again.

    It may be that Kemper is advertising on/sponsoring Jam Track Central.

    So is this also like a TC electronic G System

    April 11, 2010 for Standard/Ultra, but those are listed as discontinued products so not quite the same. I'm more concerned with how the FX8 is going to affect the resale value of my Ultra :(

    Axe Edit Issues

    That seems to be the case. I don't like the idea of losing that functionality vs the new units. Yes, you can do it in the little green window, but that's a far cry from using a lovely GUI on your desktop. So much easier to tweak setting and make new presets. If I was in a situation where I had...

    Axe Edit Issues

    Which is why he recommended that version in the post above. I was using the current Legacy version on the website which, as indicated above, which they are considering taking down because of known issues. None of it has anything to do with Apple. I've also been using computers at home since the...

    Axe Edit Issues

    I had a couple of fractal presets just disappear when I was using the editor leaving blank slots. Fortunately they weren't mine. Axe-Edit is a nice bonus for sure, so much easier to tweak patches when it decides to cooperate. My Ultra had been sitting idle for a while and I've just gotten back...

    Axe Edit Issues

    Anyone using this on Mac with AxeFx Ultra? Seem like drag and drop doesn't work properly, keystrokes don't work, moving presets around seems to work randomly. Not sure if I can bother with this thing much longer. Any suggestions or tips greatly appreciated.

    Ultra Quick Start Guide

    I used to have a quick start guide that was just a few pages that showed how to get started, edit a patch, basic function of the controls on the Ultra etc. I lost it somewhere and was wondering if anyone knew where to get it. It's not from the manual, and I haven't been able to locate it with...

    Line6 L2(3)T and AxeFx

    Thanks for the feedback. Nearest place to try one out here would be an 8 hour drive so I'll just have to keep checking the forums for reviews. Considering a Carvin power amp after doing a bit of surfing last night. Still curious about the nicer line6 monitors though.

    Should I consider buying a pre amp?

    I just picked up a used Ultra a little while ago and couldn't be more thrilled. I think it sounds great on it's own and I've just been using the presets like Limelight and Crazy Train to play along with songs. The best advice I've found on the forum is to dial in the sound you hear on the...

    QSC K vs QSC KW

    Has anyone tried the QSC KW? I'm nowhere near a store that would carry these.... well as 8 hour drive anyway. Just wondering if the wood cab is making any difference or if there's any significant difference between the 2.

    I couldn't find anything on the K12 on the forum.

I know the K10 has been quite popular for quite a long time with a many Axe users, seems like a...

    AxeFx Ultra vs G-System

    I plan on replacing everything with the AxeFx Ultra and going FRFR. For a while it's just be into the computer and studio monitors though :) The primary job will be recording, but eventually an Atomic cab and the Fractal controller.

    True. Same thing with the POD. It's supposed to sound like a miced cab.

    For those who have never owned a tube amp.........

    But of course the Axe-Fx is supposed to sound like a tube amp. If tubes aren't your thing that's one thing, but if it's not accomplishing that then it's not fulfilling part of its' purpose. Of course once you put these sounds in a song, and mix, it seems not too many can actually pick out the...

    Dweezil Zappa lost settings

    Read an article about Dweezil using the Axe Fx in Europe and at one particular show lost all his presets. Just wondering if this is an isolated incident. Is there some sort of backup to store your settings so this doesn't happen.
