Fender - finally!

I'm finding that the stock fender patches, and many others that I've auditioned, sound bassey. This isn't a new v10 thing (at least for me). They always seem to be set this way. Changing the basic tone controls doesn't fix it. Did you find you needed to make a lot of adjustments?

Axe II - Quick Question

Did you also update the presets to the version 2.0? I'm asking because I also get an inordinate amount of overpowering energy from the low E and A strings and was hoping the Axe II or now the 2.0 upgrade would tame it. I'm going to try upgrading the presets to tonight but not real optimistic...

Axe-Fx II Firmware Version 2.00 Up

Has everyone who is raving about the 2.0 release done the preset updates as well? The reason I ask is that I installed 2.0 last night, but alas, no magic. I really couldn't detect any difference. However, I did not update the presets and I'm wondering if that is key to hearing the improvement...

Ambient Swells, how to do on Axe Fx II?

Hey Sim, I'm assuming you're using this. Have you tried using the modifer curve parameters to accomplish the same goal? Does this work better? Thanks

Help!!! Major Badness Happening!!!

Thank you all for your feed back. A few of you mentioned the Bypass button as the culprit, and that was it. However, I have no idea what triggered it. I'll have to look into the MFC firmware level so that may be it. I now recall having this same thing happen a few months ago on a gig. Same...

Incoming! Incoming! Incoming!

Not doing stereo to FOH but would like to have my patches (planning for the II) duel purpose so I can go stereo at home if I want. I'd like to work out a way to go stereo into my IEM's. I've heard some guys say how they do this. We use Aviom's but my signal into that is mono so I'd need to sub...

Thanks....I'll give that a try. I've been trying to figure out how to deal with the potential issues with "Sum L+R". I guess as long as your not doing stereo cabs or other configurations where losing a channel would impact the tone that s/b OK.

But that doesn't give you both sides of the signal, just makes two copies of the left channel. Aren't you losing the right side?

The manual states that summing to mono "sum L+R) that short delays, like in the cab verb, can create artifacts. I believe you said you are running stereo and mono from the same patch using this approach. Have you noticed any issues? From the manual: Summed Mono: By choosing “SUM L+R” mode...

Mono and Stereo Duel Purpose Patches

So, in preparation for the II, I'm thinking about how I want to set up patches since I'll be starting over. I currently play mono most of the time and my patches are set up accordingly. With the II, I'd like to have the ability to send either way. However, in reading about mono vs stereo on...
