    Erratic Behaviour of the Standard

    Sure sounds like a battery issue. Sure you got it in there right side up? It is not unheard of that a "new" battery doesn't have a charge. Only way to know for sure is to test the battery with a multi-voltage meter.

    Experiencing a lot of feedback from the mic in rehearsal

    In your rehearsal space, you might consider pointing the speakers towards you ( like with monitors) so you can hear them. If you can't hear the vocals, the tendency is to turn them up too much and you are sure to have feedback.

    Guitar input into ultra

    Yes, there is a significant difference. The front input adds what is called " special sauce " by Fractal Audio. Is there a reason you can't just plug in front ? All output cables will still be in the back of rack.

    Vocals and guitar + internal A/B switch ( Axe Ultra )

    Thanks Bakerman! I appreciate the response. I may be misunderstanding this. Seems that the options would be , when modifier switch is pushed, either Output 1 or Output 2 is muted. This then mutes guitar signal when Output 1 is muted as well, yes? I need guitar always passing to loop. Maybe I'm...

    Vocals and guitar + internal A/B switch ( Axe Ultra )

    I was hoping someone here could answer this: I usually loop both guitar and vocals ( Boomerang 3) using a mixer and an A/B box to insert vocals for harmonizing with myself and mouth percussion. (In this set up I would not be muting the thru signal in the Boomerang, both the direct signal and...

    Ultra Rotary Value Controller Poss Faulty

    Ultra Encoder Issue

    Yeah, My intent was to spray first with Deoxit Fader Cleaner ( less gunk left behind) and if that didn't work Regular Deoxit. I would apply this around the post and let it slowly work it's way into the decoder. ( hence have that knob upright) I would remove the entire knob for this process...

    Ultra Encoder Issue

    Just to re-emphasize: Knobs that don't have locking screws usually have a split post, that holds by tension/ friction. Not the case here! ... and the post is made of plastic and is threaded. Pry off the cap, not the the knob!! Respect, Otis

    There are many posts (not just in this thread) suggesting "prying" the encoder knob off.

    Preview of the MidyAX - A new tool to enhance the AXE-FX experience

    Palygap, It seems what most people have been asking for is a two space version of the BCR2000. If that was in a rack, the rack would have to be elevated in order to use controls. You would do the same with this, and it would be even more utilitarian, with controls on top. And no, I didn't mean...
