Official Axe-Fx Q&A thread!

[right_to_rage]

I've still got the same problem, but now I know that the Edirol UA-25 isn't receiving MIDI IN data. I'm not sure if its broken or...

Surprise! I managed to borrow my buddies Tascam US-122L, and guess what? It works MIDI IN, and my while my Edirol still only works MIDI OUT. How embarrassing.

Is there any real reason why both units insist on messing up? I tried alternating cables. Guess what does work? Hooking up both units, AXE FX MIDI OUT - > TASCAM MIDI IN and AXE FX MIDI IN - > Edirol MIDI OUT.... This is insane

Welcome to the club! Exact same problem here.

I'm hoping it gets solved in a few days when I get a new midi/digital bus for my 1010lt Seems I've lost it...

Found a new one for 6 bucks!

Right now I'm using a cheap midi>USB adapter and I'm hoping it's the problem. Kind of a pain in the ass. It does work in spurts, but not long enough to take advantage of it If I keep hitting "test" in settings eventually it will load my Axe-FX but as soon as I try to load the Axe as the source it fucks up.

It's more of a not being able to save the patches to my computer of a problem.

I tried the Broderick settings that Biggness posted in the Broderick/Axe Fx thread, and it sounds pretty fucking mean. Different from what I'm used to, but I'll definitely be tossing it in the rotation for when I get tired of my current sound. Thanks Axe, for being the true GAS killer

come on! you want me to sit and write down every setting by hand?

Turns out that I'm just gonna borrow this interface until I get a new one.

Anyways, has anyone else tried putting an envelope on the amp block's gain and master knobs? Man, it really adds a new dimension to the feel of each amp. Basically when ever I play soft the gain goes low, and it increases when I pick harder. The master envelope is cool too because when I pick hard the amp goes just a little further into overdrive. Cool eh?

I just now, after reading this post, figured out how to do this There is SO much shit you can do in this unit!!!

I can't find any picks this morning though Can't play right now

Yes. AND put them in an envelope and mail them to me, along with some of those chewy red fish candies you swedes have.

When you find a pick, dial up this patch. It is beyond awesome, how it interacts with your playing and volume knob.

Might aswell share a demo of a new song I'm doing a demo on. But I'm using the Axe FX for sound:

Sounds like a Brittany Spears song. I can hear her screaming "FUCK ME!!!! FUCK MEEEEEEE!!!! YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL!!!" whilst her head spins 360 degrees and she pukes green vomit.

Christ man, that's some heavy shit. Well played good sir, well played

I don't suppose, once again, that you'd like to *share* your recipes????

Everything's sold now. That combined with a couple pedal sales, the laptop and a few other items I sold on ebay bought me an Ultra and gave be about $500 to get my house ready for the incoming baby!

My goal is to never buy tubes again, I hope it works out for me!

I've been meaning to ask you - - - - - what went wrong with your 1101 rig that you sold it? I remember how you raved about it in the dim dark past of a few months ago.

I LOVED it and it did everything I needed it to do through a tube power amp and cab but... The direct tones didn't do it for me With a new born, I needed good direct tones. I have to be quiet because I only really get to play when everybody else is asleep. I've spent some time with an Axe-FX before but without the editor and I HATE tweaking it with the front panel controls so I didn't really give it a fair chance. I love it now. SO much you can tweak and the ability to load custom cab IRs makes it a winner. If it were possible to do this with the Digitech I wouldn't have sold it. GREAT preamp!!!
