How I replaced my tube amp with the Axe-Fx (also about the Palmer Macht)

Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience after three weeks of usage of the AXE-FX II MK2 unit. Before I bought it, I was using a Laney IRT head through a real 2x12 or 4x12 cab during rehearsals (loaded with G12H Creambacks). But then, bringing all the gear to a show and having always...

VG-99 + GP-10 USB Audio as digital source for Axe-Fx II XL+ over USB Audio (via DAW)

There are several threads here about failed attempts to use SPDIF to connect the VG-99/Axe-Fx II. Obviously, the different/locked sample rates proved to be an issue. I’ve posted about this issue on several forums throughout the process of trying to find an answer and I think this now is the...

Creating a tape saturation effect like the Strymon Deco

Back when I ran analog, I had a Strymon Deco pedal as an always-on pedal at the very end of my chain. The 'Deco recreates the compression and third-order harmonic saturation effects that happen when a signal is recorded to tape. I play a lot of classic rock, and that effect suited my tone well...

Hi all I have recently purchased my first Fractal unit (a used Axe-fx II and MFC-101 both mk ii) and I was hoping for some guidance on expression pedals that play well with this model. I have a budget of about $450 Aussie dollars for two pedals (including cables etc) so that puts the EV-1 out...

Playing through studio monitors safe?

I played my Axe-Fx II through QSC K10s when I was playing live. Now I only at home, through my recording setup (Clarett 8Pre into an iMac). I'm just using my JBL LSR 308 studio monitors. Sounds fine, maybe not as good as loud through the K10s, but okay. But could I damage the monitors if I...

AFIII VIDEO: Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II - Comparing the amp block

Day two with the Axe-Fx III. The first requests were all about creating a fair comparison between the III and the II. I didn't really expect there to be any difference at this point because there hasn't been many advances in the firmware yet but here's a video that's fair. FAIR = same IR, same...
