Ever wanted to know how to setup your Axe FX for live reamping? Here's how!

[Humidfume]

Hey guys, the subject has been covered before, but here is my take on it and hope it helps some of you guys out!

Why would you want / need live reamping?
Quite simply it allows you to tweak a guitar tone LIVE while the rest of the music is playing!

Enjoy!

Obviously, the Axe FX is a different beast (which version do you use?) but on my Kemper reamping in realtime is easily achieved using SPDIF in/out. I would assume stereo tracking would be retained since SPDIF is obvioulsy digital streaming.

I upgraded my soundcard to the Saffire Pro 24 which allows a lot more control over the headphone problem you described. And has a lot more outputs/bandwidth being a firewire interface rather than USB 2.

Hey! I don't have a SPDIF input on my interface, only jack ins, so perhaps it would be possible to convert the phono's to jacks and do it that way? Never really thought much about it to be honest!

Could give it a try sometime

I use the Axe FX II XL

That unit must have set you back a fair bit of dosh Have you bought that recently?

Not sure what you mean by "convert the phonos to jacks".

But yeah, the SPDIF in/out from my Kemper to the interface saves a load of headaches and dicking around. The saffire supports more complex routing options back from the DAW to the interface as well...you can create different headphone mixes from what comes out of your speakers. Really beneficial when using it as a studio environment and recording a vocalist for example. The updated model , Saffire Pro 24 DSP allows reverb, eq and compression effects on the hardware allowing a vocalist to hear themselves with reverb and no latency or having to monitor with effects through the DAW.

Upgrading my sound card from my old Maudio Fast track pro was definitely worth while. I bought a 2nd hand one.

I am sure splashing out 150 quid is worth not using that extra cable

I thought SPDIF was phono / left and right red / white things? I don't have those as an input so I'd need to use a converter to put them into Jack.

Yeah it cost me £2000 but I sold other stuff, iPad, two GTX Titans etc.. worked 7 days a week. I saved up for it and made some sacrifices.

That's really cool!

Sacrifices to the goat of mendes? Sold your soul for an Axe FX huh? "worked" 7 days week. Kids these days don't know what hard work is. Sitting around an office I bet using a computer all day listening to death metal.

SPDIF can be phono plugs . You can't put converters onto that it, won't work. It's digital input/ouput, no analogue (like your jack inputs). SPDIF can also refer to TOSLink type connections too, which will support multichannel audio.

By working I meant furiously fingering my ass.

Yes, i noticed that in your new video!
