Also in the rack is Drummer’s head phone amp, a DM5 trigger module, a D4 (for back up) and a 4 channel DI which is patched to the DIGI003. Out of the interface we can send him whatever mix he needs for his in-ears (click, guitars, samples) and we can send whatever else to the PA, whether it be song intros, samples, bass drops, or backing rhythm guitar tracks. “Drummer” uses a Digidesign DIGI003 firewire interface with Protools. As I mentioned, I set up midi program changes through out the protools session wherever I need my Axe-FX to change presets during a song, so they happen automatically. The Macbook is of course not stock it has a quad-core processor and we added two solid state hard drives and 16gb ram to eliminate any lagging/crashing problems during the performance. At the start of the set it is as simple as hitting the space bar and we’re off.

We use Protools 8 and a Macbook Pro to play our click track/samples/effects/bass drops etc.

Our MacBook Pro controls my patch changes for the Axe-FX via midi, which I will get into in a bit. As far as controllers/pedals for the Axe-FX, I am using a Mission Engineering EP-1 spring-loaded expression pedal for wah and whammy effects. All this nonsense is taken care of by the Axe-FX II now. The thing that’s great about this setup is that it allowed me to get rid of the two guitar amps I had been lugging around as well as eliminate other problematic issues like a/b/y stereo splitter (to run two guitar heads), pedals, patch cables, buzzing noises, batteries etc. I run this rig in stereo since I am pulling double guitar duty. Unlike some players I love having the stage volume from my cabinets and hate relying on most venue monitors, so I run the Axe-FX as a preamp/effects unit. I just recently picked up an Axe-FX II and decided to pair it with a Mesa/Boogie Simul-Class 2:Ninety power amp.
