sergeykarakich Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Okay okay! So im really stuck here, and now I have the chance to buy an axe fx 2 for 1000£ 10 min from where I live... Should I go for it? Or get the kemper. I want lots of possibilities with effects, great amps and recording possibilities as well as easy ground control... With AXE you get a lot of FX, a huge variety in tone. But with Kemper you can copy any amp you want. AXE FX has Tone Matching option but it can't get really close tone, that Kemper can.

sergeykarakich Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 But is it a big difference between the Axe FX ii and Axe FX ii mark ii? Like, is the FX ii "outdated"? I would not advise you to buy Mark I AXE II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 electronics lads help me out is there any reason in a dual p90 setup you couldn't have two missippi queen style p90s in the bridge only/series/parallel configuration? Would it be too hot or something? Surely a motherbucker would still be hotter? Forever tweaking the jazz, got a few things in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 That's not unlike a setup I'm planning for my p90 guitar. I'm going to wire them like a humbucker with a coil split dial. Also, hi James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's perfectly alright then? Cool On the tweaking list for jazz: maybe the new MQ style pickups HAP tuners (I have some kinda matte grey-ish 510 tuners, not HAP. Dunnp if anyone would want them? Would mean I can then afford the HAPs as I don't have a string tree) a different bridge, Bigsby is ok but just not for me, considering Evertune but not sure And if I do get another bridge would need bigsby holes filled in, so might just get it all black instead of sunburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I can't see it being a problem, although I think for the most part it'll sound like a p90 guitar in middle position rather than a humbucker. Don't quote me on that, its just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me on that, its just a hunch. Yeah, if anyone else has any idea that can back it up that'll be cool. To be honest, most of the time I think I'm using it with just the bridge pickup alone, but it's nice to have the options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'll probably be doing a wiring diagram for it as a spin-a-split this week. It'll end up with 2 pickups but with 1 tone, 1 volume, and instead of a pickup selector switch, another pot that blends from bridge to both. So the neck is only ever used when its paired with the bridge pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I would suggest that a series/parallel option would be more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 James you are mysteriously gifted at searching the web, and may know anyway... Do you know where I can find a 6 in line set of Gotoh 510 HAPs, preferably in the UK and preferably in satin. If I can find a set I'll also have a satin set of 510s just not HAPs for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, hi James http://i57.tinypic.com/29m6b2q.jpg #steak wait, are you building three of these valve driven peddles? I would suggest that a series/parallel option would be more useful. yeah that also, my DSL has been repaired. Just needed the main board replaced and the pots and switches cleaned.

sidious911 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I purchased from JAParts, they don't carry anything, but instead they deal directly with Gotoh. So you can order anything from their catalogue, any style, with any button, in any color with any features (locking, HAP, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCantEditSam Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Total n00b question which I deserve to be slated for. I've been offered a DT at a great price, but was looking for a 5, so now I'm stuck on the fence. Is the DigiTech Whammy DT (apart from the pitch shifter) pretty much the same as the Whammy 5? Any major or discernible differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It's not the same, it tracks better and is less glitchy than the 5, which is less glitchy than the 4. It's therefore shit and you must seek out a 4 no matter the cost. Also, the MIDI assignments are different I think? Personally, i'd go for the DT if I had the space and it was a good deal.

sidious911 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Also, the MIDI assignments are different I think? This is a crucial factor for some. There is no global On/Off signal for the 5/DT. Each program has a different code to be sent for on and off, making it harder to interface with a touch pad. If you aren't doing MIDI in that sense, it wont be an issue for you.

They've been switching the songs at every show, so I don't think anything got spoiled .. unfortunately citizen erased and muscle museum are still the two songs I really want to see. I figure I have a much better chance of seeing CE, but even then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've been itching to see MM played for a very long time. I have had Citizen Erased and man that was awesome live. Actually, that gig I went to in 2007 was amazing in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 for those of you who use MIDI what's the best MIDI foot controller to get? I'm looking at getting a Boss Footswitch to control my whammy with but for other stompboxes and an Axe Fx i'm not really sure which ones the best to get for it's price as they're all quite costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
