Hello everyone! i'm new to the world of Axe FX, and Amp Modeling in general, (the last modeler i owned was the original Line 6 Pod lol) and i was hoping i might get some answers from you guys to help get me started, some questions are a bit more in depth than others, but any info you guys can give me would be appreciated, thanks in advance everyone!
1. the Axe FX manual is a labyrinth, and not as descriptive in some places as i would like, does anyone know of any good video tutorials for the Axe FX 3? i'm particularly interested in modeling my Peavey JSX but i'm not sure i know exactly how to go about that, and general video guides would be helpful too.
2. how can i run my Axe FX 3 as a USB device, but keep my current audio interface? i work in Logic, i have an old presonus 1818VSL audiobox hooked up, and into it i have my microphones, midi devices and now my axe FX audio going straight in, this is a decent set up for now but every time i want to update my firmware or re-amp i have to re-arrange my whole setup and its a bit of a pain in the ass, and using my axe FX as my audio interface prevents me from recording vocals and midi at the same time, which is a problem for me, is there any way i can get the benefits of re-amping without having to re-arrange all my cables every time?
3. whats the deal on the foot controllers? when are they coming out/how much will they be? im looking for a controller that lets me jump through a predetermined series of presets in a specific order with one button, is that possible? will the foot controllers have controls for wah/volume etc? can i control something like distortion with a foot pedal?
4. whats the difference between "beta" firmware and normal firmware updates?
5. can i sync the axe fx delay up with my DAW?
6. where is a good place to get presets (aside from these forums) and how might i load them up?
