Wondering about (in)correct use of the word "boosting"

NOT being a longtime connaisseur of using drives, I'm wondering if all people agree on what "boosting" is, and if it is sometimes wrongly called that way? (1) It sometimes seems to me that a drive is set to increase distortion while output volume is kept the same (unity gain?) or could be...

Wish Fuzz Factory by Zvex

It would be amazing to have a model of the Fuzz Factory by Zvex, I love this pedal so much and achieving it's sound with the actuall fuzz boxes and blocks is doable but requires a lot of CPU in my experience. I'm using a very compressed sound directly in DI, inspired by Matt Bellamy's sound (Muse).

FM9 Hagerman DRIVE (Muff-style silicon) review/demo

Fractal FM3 cab sims used in this review (as well as any reverb/delay). I don’t mind fuzz pedals, but I don’t use them often. I’ve demoed them, used them here and there, but frequently had to do some EQ adjustments or add some type of treble booster, etc., to really get the notes to sound more...

Regularize all the modifiers in Drive block

Stereo Drive Block?

I often use the Drive Block as a preamp of sort AFTER the Amp and Cab Blocks on distorted tones, to shape them a bit more to my taste. But I've noticed that the Drive Block is actually mono, and will either sum the stereo channels or use just one of them. I don't mind it when I'm playing simple...

Dynamic and harmonic drive

So pretty much love using the Hiwatt and CA3+ clean amps. I've been trying to recreate a few tones that I currently use with my analog setup and have had a certain amount of joy using the FET Boost into the Tube Driver (4 knob), but I'm interested to hear what you guys use to get really nice mid...

Klon and King of Tone

Ahoy, ahoy. Any suggestions on getting Klon and King of Tone sounds out of the drive block. Is it just me or is it odd that two famous pedals likes these aren't modelled in the Axe?

Speaker drive with power amp and cab?

Hello! Don't post here often, but visit to read info most days and have done so since purchasing my Axe FX2 several years ago. I've really enjoyed using the speaker drive parameter since the recent FW revision by Cliff (where it was added to the amp block). I've had varying results with...

Help: Activating drive and filter block with the same foot press

Hi, first, sorry about my english, is not my main language. I'm trying to activate in just one foot press a drive block (at the beginning of the chain) and a filter block (at the end of the chain, as a lead boost). FCB 1010 with eureka chip btw. The point is, in a clean/crunch tone, being able...

tips for modifying a heavy rhythm sound for a solo tone

Greetings, I've been making a good amount of progress in getting the basic sounds I need for my prog band's live show, but have noticed my previous approach to programming solo/lead tones (modified from heavier rhythm sounds) isn't working the way I'd like. Prior to migrating to the AX8, I...

Muse

Looking for some feedback on a couple Muse patches I've been working on recently. I used to play in a Muse cover band and did everything analog. I wasn't happy with the way the Axe fx sounded a few years ago when I bought it when I tried to translate everything to digital. I love the axe fx...
