Pairing Pedals with Amps and Cabs

I generally use the Tube Screamer as a "Clean" drive with an Angle Severe 2 (as an example) per @yek to get a heavy Killswitch tone. My question is how to pair a Boss pedal (i.e. MT-2) with a clean amp/cab setup and let the pedal really drive the distortion/tone. I would think this should be...

Wish Framus Cobra & Boss HM-2

Here is a bunch of gear I would love to get modeled by Fractal. One can dream, right? ;-) The Framus Cobra is IMHO one of the - if not the - best high gain amps ever made. Super tight and aggressive. Unfortunately not in production anymore since Framus was bought by Warwick. Boss HM-2...

AFIII Analog Vs Digital : Boss Metal Zone (Best Pedal Ever Made)

We all know that the metal zone is THE best pedal ever made, and the axe fx is that much better for having it as an option. I wanted to see just how well the modeled pedal stacked up to the real pedal, so I put them head to head. Just be careful that your face doesnt get melted off from the...

Boss FS setup for Axe-Fx III

Hello, I recently bought my Axe-Fx III, and so far it has been a dream come true. However, I cannot figure out how to get a simple footswitch (Boss FS-5U) to switch scenes. In fact, I cannot get the footswitch to do anything at all. I read through the manual and have searched extensively...

Ready to buy.....but

Hey everyone, I have been reading and browsing this forum for some months learning everything I can about Axe-FX and AX8. I have the money in my stash to buy either one now, but my hangup is the footpedal--No expression pedal. I have been using Boss GTs since they came out (and still have...

Using boss fs5u and the pedal input... Presets?

With my axe fx 2 I would use a boss fs5u to swap between my lead and rhythm presets on stage, I loved it because it's so small, I can have it right up against a foldback wedge with no problem. I'm trying to achieve the same setup with my AX8 and cannot seem to find any option to use the pedal...

What are the differences between expression pedals?

Hello all. I have been reading the threads about the different expression pedals. I am struggling to understand what makes them different from each other. I am looking into the cheaper Boss, Roland and Moog options because I only want a pedal to control the Wah sweeps at the moment. But if I...

Boss Blues Driver BD-2

I'm selling my Boss Blues Driver BD-2 and wanted to see how close I could get my Axe-Fx II to sound like it. I'm able to get it to sound almost identical until I change pickups and then I have to tweak it again. I've attached the preset. I don't no much about how electronics work but is this...

Volume pedal dead spot

Hey guys, I'm currently using a boss fv 500 expression pedal to use as my volume pedal. I use it along with my volume block. The problem is that in the beginning of the pedal there is a pretty big dead spot and then once the volume comes its already pretty loud instead of gradual. In another...
