I don't recall how I first found out about this YouTube show but I've found myself watching more than I ever thought I would. Each episode of That Pedal Show is basically these two tasty guitarists - Dan and Mick - discussing a topic of interest to all guitarists - pedals, amps, and guitar sounds in general. Here's a link to a recent episode entitled "How to Use More Than One Amp":
In this particular episode they also get into a discussion of the mechanics of connecting three amps such as isolation and phase which, fortunately, are not a concern for us - but also provide some nice discussion and demonstrations of wet-dry-wet setups. There are many episodes to choose from and they cover a wide variety of related topics, all of which are or should be of immediate interest to those of us using the Axe FX II, AX8 or FX8.
Now, of course, these guys are using physical tube amps and physical pedals plus a fairly sophisticated loop switcher but most of their observations and conclusions apply directly to what we in the Axe Fx modeling community are seeking to achieve with our most excellent modellers. What I particularly appreciate is that the discussion about a specific sound is complemented by demonstrations of that sound. Also their musings about various sounds and ways to achieve them stimulate ideas for doing similar things with the Axe Fx. I find myself running to my guitar and Axe-FX right after viewing an episode. Check it out - you may discover a new 'guilty pleasure' too!
