Processing 2 guitars simultaneously

[Arviel]

Can the Axe-Fx lll process 2 guitars simultaneously and mix the 2 inputs to a single output? If so, would it require 2 separate FC's?

Yes it can. No you would not need 2 FC's, but it could give each player more individual control over their part of the preset's signal chain. That or they could just leg wrestle on a single FC.

 

[OrganicZed]

Yep, that can be done.

If wanting separate controls you'd not be able to use scenes without a lot of coordination

Although my wife said that she wouldn't mind some leg wrestling, i like the idea of more individual control. Thanks for the help.

Thanks O.Z., excellent suggestion!

Thanks for the input. I'll be purchasing 2 FC's

Just a head's up...One of the FC's will power from the FASlink XLR, but I believe you'll need a stand-alone power supply for the second FC.

Thanks for saving me a step G.B., every little bit helps

The prime example of this is when you have a guitar with a separate piezo output, I run both simultaneously as piezo alone sounds sterile to me.

So, does that mean that 2 guitars can also be internally mixed to one output?

Yes

Yes

TY "Z", and much appreciated! I now have the complete picture i was looking for.

Good info, appreciate your help

Live or studio? It is trivial to track 2 guitarists at once. Harder to allow them to have a "pedalboard" experience.

Then end up at whatever output you have at the end of their signal chain.

Our bass player and me play over one / my AF3. Sounds perfect. He uses in-/output 4 and me input 1 and output 1 + 2.
Can’t use two amp + cab setups for my own ‘cos the bass needs one set, but for me that’s a small inconvenience.

Perfect! TY

TY, I can work with that limitation too.

I definitely get that, but for now just going to use this setup through a pair of QSC K12's for teaching. TY, keeping this in mind.
