Haha! That's my truth, too, and I am sticking with it. Just works so much for
what we do, and how I play. The sensitivity and dynamics are so stellar
that I can get to a clean or a mean without every touching a footswitch.

Give the CCV 2B and 2C models a go if you want JCM-y tones that go well with lower tunings. Trick with those models is to turn the drive up a tad and lower the input trim to get the perfect balance of the bright cap’s bite and the desired amount of gain.

Thanks. Those are the Cameron models, right? I have tried so many "Based on a Marshall"
spinoffs. Some sound great here at home, I get all excited, and then they get buried, or are
too bloated and tubby, in a full band setting.

I'll definitely give them a shot next week, though. Thanks!

What did YJM say?

Everybody says ohh these are like Marshalls and these sound like Marshalls
YJM: yeah so I have a Marshall why would I want an amp that sounds like a Marshall

Here we go Dave I found it lol

Good rec. I also like the Bosom Boost for tightening and boosting.

I love the Buxom for its sheer versatility, plus as much gain as you'd ever need. It's really extraordinary. The tight control is really what makes it over the top powerful. If I mess with that combined with the bass, I can get the ideal low end out of any amp. I love that pedal.

It's funny, there are many overdrive, boost, and distortion pedal models I think are incredible in the Axe-FX III, but instead of using them, I always tend eventually to switch another amp that inherently solves whatever problem I'm aiming to solve. What an ideal world to live in; just choose your solution.

Wah after delay and reverb can be cool.

The Buxom is definitely one of my favs and one of my go to channels in the drive block
Along with the Klon, Nobles and Maxon screamer

Has any one used the Whammy after the amp and cab , since we can pick the input source I figured maybe it might work ok ?

It will work but will be definitely more trebly. Maybe bewteen amp and cab will be a bit better

Ya I will try that and see , since FM9 only has the one pitch block that would allow me to leave it after the amp
Technically if it need a bit more shaping I could put an EQ after it and set it to auto engage with the whammy pedal

Nah, sounds cack!!

Yes, as I said above, a midi loopback cable goes from the midi out port to the midi in port. This allows you to use the CS Midi window to have a control switch send any CC# you choose, to any block you choose(as long as that block is listed in the midi\remote set up screen), no matter what scene or preset you might be on.

Yesterday I wanted to assign a control switch on an hotone ampero (2 switches) to select multiples block activation at once.

If I set the Cs in the blocks I lose the ability to switch them the normal way. So no use

I saw cs midi, but it didn’t work, then I heard about the loopback.

Does the loopback can work even if a have a xsonic airstep already controlling things on my fm3.

Does this would work with fm3 midi out > Airstep midi in > Airstep midi out > fm3 midi in ?

It’s too bad that we need a loopback or maybe having the ability to not lose the triggering of an effect by the standard method if we also use a cs

First of all, I'm working on an Axe-III, so can only hope that everything will work the same on an FM-3 regarding the loopback cable and CS Midi.

I don't have an Airstep either, so don't know about that.

What I can say though, is that using CS Midi with a loopback cable has no effect on the standard methods of triggering an effect.....everything works just as it did before, as they are totally separate.

Hope this helps.

Actually there's a way to "move" it within a preset using a couple feedback send and returns... but that's kinda pointless now that we have gapless presets switching

EDIT: here's a preset that shows how

I’m gonna buy another midi cable and try.

Having things like drive+comp+delay available on each scene with just a switch is just great !

 

[Joshual-L]

So I finally found one midi cable in my « I may need it later » cables box .

I tried the loopback with the Airstep and it’s working fine!!

Expect one strange behavior, it happens with the ampero hotone and also if I use a onboard cs on the fm3.
If I activate the cs midi on one scene great, i go on another scene and go back to the cs midi one I have to press two times to get it back to normal (without any modifications done by the cs midi)

Any way to just have one switching to do or just get back the scene without the cs midi switch?

It might have something to do with how your CS per Scene settings are ....go to the Controllers tab in Edit and to CS per Scene......there's three different settings to try.

I finally manage to find a solution.

I thought that just having the cs per scene to off would bring back the scene in its original value but it’s not.
So I set it to last and now I just need one tap to disengage to cs midi.

But I would have been great that if cs per scene worked with a real Off when combined with cs midi.

Another thing I learned :

I set the cs midi to engage drive/comp/delay.

But I already had some comp on some scene.
So to have the comp to not disengage when des activating cs midi is set the bypass to a scene controller.

It’s kind of tricky but it worked.
