that is the file extension of the firmware updates

Just remember. Anything you make/edit is going to be made for your current gear and surroundings. Once you change from a Les Paul to a Strat, or go from a Marhsall to a Crate, or go from the bedroom to a garage --- everything will need tweaked.

I use a pair of 30 year old dollar store headphones. WHY? Because they add no tone. If you want tone, your have to make tone. But they are low volume. I also use the ehs60annbe that came with my phone. WHY? The in-ear bud removes some outside noise. They are much louder. But they also ad bass, so its not so good for sound creating. I am provided other equipment (stage/studio) as needed.

The other thing to consider is: No matter what you play and what gadgets you use, there will always be a need to be heard. Which means that some form of amplification will always exist. I mean, I could use a Pignose and mic it and be able to play stadiums. Or I could use a wall of stacks or my L6. But I still need someone, somewhere, to have a speaker that my sound can be played through. So no matter how good these things get, there will always be amps/speakers, which means there will be people who want to do it on their own. But really, who is to say that the 'be all end all' of sound was created by a British guy in 1962? If it was that great, then there never would have been a Peavey or Fender or Krankenstein.

turn the volume up on your guitar and then lower the volume in the recorder. That's why each track has its own volume.

What is your native language, and can you ask your question in it. It may help.

I am glad you answered that. I am not sure I could have said it as well as you did.

And the funny part is --- Its been the same core builders since the beginning. So its not like when some companies move overseas and you get a new crop of builders. Mike Shannon worked there when Grover was still using the Charvel name. You can't blame it on that. Although, I have to admit... Wonderful guitars, but the buying of them could also partly be nostalgia for me? I loved Jackson back in the 80's when I first picked one up. And I did own a few back then, but I was under contract with BCR and needed to play them onstage almost exclusively. So I didn't bother to stock up on too many $2000 Jackson models. Why would I? I couldn't play them on stage. They would have just been sitting there going to waste.

Running separate amps on both sides to control tone and volume individually is not what I mean when I say running in stereo. To me, I am not going to go see KISS and hear Paul Stanley's guitar or voice coming out of only the right side. Nor will I go see the Philharmonic Orchestra and be upset that I sat on the right side because the Lead Viola was coming out of only the left. Yes, splitting the left and right volumes to be able to control the mix is sometimes needed. But for the most part, everyone is going to be coming out of both sides as if it was mono.

First, I have to point out - that I am not claiming Jackson to be the best guitar ever. I am saying that for my playing preferences - they are what I like. And I would also like to point out that the statement I am about to make is a generalization, paraphrased, and condensed so that this does not turn into a hijacking of the thread with a historical account of Jackson Guitars and my philosophical views on the matters. Two main reasons. The first is, I said that I would buy ANY. Which means I am not going to turn down a broken one or one that is pink with sparkles. I am far from poor, but I don't want to spend the money on EVERY Jackson ever made. The other reason is: I have never found a pre-89 that I did not like. Maybe some that I don't bond with, but none that I don't like. After that, I start finding some that I don't like. So, I give it a two year window based on a 'curve'. Its also a matter of the music scene changing in the 90's, which lead to a lot of guitars being made that did not interest me. I have no problem buying a 1992 or 2000 or even 2015. But I am more selective about what I buy. Plus, I gotta keep the room for other guitars I need. Can't play 'cuntray' on a neon pink zebra with one pickup. Things are always changing. But the only real change in the '89 time frame would be the tremolo model, and it became recessed. I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but you asked if something changed so that is your answer. There was also a Jackson Strat, and somewhere around those same years, they dropped the body to focus on the Dinky. Sure, they brought the body back for the Adrian Smith model, but the actual Jackson Strat is gone. Again, its a change. I don't know if it is THE change.

trial and error is always the only way. but beyond that --- 1. as long as your tones have the same volume as each other, it doesn't matter where you set the volume. 2. the mp3 input is not affected by the volume knob. if you hook up a player, you can set your volume by matching the audio.

I just sat through 4 minutes of that. And then skipped through various sections of the remaining 10 minutes. Everything that you hear, including vocals, can easily be done with the 500x.

I've found it to be a volume issue. Sort of like running a power soak on a cab. It just doesn't sound the same at low volume. It IS the same, but there is something that just doesn't click when testing out sounds at low volumes. Distortion needs POWER, other wise its wimpy.

A total reinstall from monkey is always an option too. What I suggest doing is: 1. The minute you plug in the first time (or reinstall), make a copy of your bundle. Make a copy of the setlists. Make copies of any patches that you like. 2. Keep two copies of each patch (including ones that you make yourself). One will be the original file and one is the file that you do your work with. This prevents any edits or deletions from destroying the original. 3. Keep a copy of 1 and 2 on a separate system (like a thumb drive or 2nd computer). That way you always have a spare copy in the event that your system is lost, stolen, or crashes.

I guess a good way to explain it is... Audio technology. We once had Wave files that took up 40mb. Then we got MP3 that could do the same with 2mb. As technology advances, it takes less to produce the same. So, they can tweak a few this and rearrange a few that --- and you free up some DSP.

So, you're saying that if you run stereo and have something panned left, that the people on the right will understand why you are making your sexface but there's no noise. Hey, I saw Pink Floyd at Veteran's Stadium with their surround sound tour. I had excellent seats to enjoy the full sound and light experience. But I could imagine being seated by one of the speakers and having it be too loud in he mix due to proximity.

I don't know GC JR or his bright tone. But I do know is: The best place to start is to use what he uses. Google his rig. If he uses a Les Paul, you'll never get his tone with a Strat.

There are a lot of 'tricks' that we (musicians) do that the general public doesn't know about or couldn't understand. One of them is pedals, or the lack thereof. Someone, somewhere, even if its a computer, is changing things - otherwise, things don't change. That is why you see a wah but nothing else. Wah is an expression effect that should be manual. Terms like, sync, click track, DAW, sample --- these are things that commoners hear and think "these guys aren't musician, they are just tinkering with computers like rappers and lipsyncing like pop divas" There is no right or wrong. There is only preference. I wanted to replace an entire rig. I got the floor unit. It made no sense to get a rack unit since it would be the only thing I used. Plus, there's that entire Spinal Tap scene with the 16" Stonehenge. A two space rack would look funny on the floor. But many people want to use this as part of the rest of their rig or in a studio, which may make more sense to use the rack unit. The units have their own power supply. But they don't put out a powered signal. You can plug into amps, you can't plug into a cab.

A good soundguy is going to run in mono anyhow. He may not tell you because he doesn't want know-it-all musicians to insist on stereo or surround sound. But it is probably mono. You will sound the same with both channels centered. The one thing to be on the lookout for, is when you do use stereo effects. What sounds good in headphones or on a studio album may not translate live. A panned effect when ran mono is just effect. A left echo that is different than a right echo comes out like a double echo. Little things like that. There may be some minute volume issues between having the two channels split l/r vs center. But that is why each channel on the board has a level.

reduce the screen resolution. It will make the program look bigger. For me, I have the opposite problem. Because I 'drag and drop' so often, I think it takes up too much of the screen.

My suggestion, but others may say different, would be to skip the Marshall altogether. Use the Pod and go straight to the PA or recording console. Especially since you spoke about having amp mods as a backup. Its not as simple as "let's add a simulator.' You would need to alter every patch you have to add a cab and then tweak out the tone and hope that the DSP (like RAM on a PC) doesn't run out.

I don't understand the question. It may be a language error that is lost in translation? 1. The firmware is not out yet. 2. Monkey, not Edit, is where you get your firmware updates for your unit. 3. They will most likely need to update the Edit software to accommodate added features on the unit. If none of them are the proper answer, please explain the question better.

The 500x and the ProX are virtually the same, one is the rack unit and one is a floor unit. There's a few very minor differences, like amount of jacks. But that is to help accommodate rack limitations. Synths do the same thing. You can buy the keyboard version, or just a rack mountable sound module To suit your needs. --- if you are familiar with that reference. There is a floor board you can buy to run the rack unit. You can also run it by a midi floor board. The L6 and the Axe are not the same. Which is why one costs triple the price. Its like buying a Ford Focus and a Audi A6. Sure, they are both cars. They both take you from point A to point B. And depending on your needs, the Ford may be enough to satisfy you. But, really, one is definitely nicer. Downloading tones - Customtone (found at the top of the page) is free. So, downloading from here is free. Many people, have their own websites and they have their sounds posted on them. Some sell their tones from their own page. No matter what the source is of your pre-made tones, you can hook up via USB to your PC (not tablets or phones :angry:) to transfer the files to your unit. While on the subject of USB --- there is a program you will need, called EDIT (it is free). It also allows you to make and/or edit tones. So instead of using the unit itself, which can be tedious at times, you can have it up on your PC screen for ease of use. I don't know what you mean by 'automate' and 'do scenes'. Could you explain better?

But if there is a phone app... there are simulators that allow for apps to run on a computer. They trick the app to think that it is a phone. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said in reverse.
