I want to show the awesome flexibility and power provided by a single Axe-Fx II preset (XL), the RJM Mastermind GT/22 controller and a single exp.pedal.
It's a "one shot" video, mainly because I didn't want to re-record and edit afterwards. I hate making videos...
So I know my voice should be louder, I should have prevented audio clipping, it's too long indeed, etc. etc.
I'll do better with the next one, in a few years.
Here's the video:

I forgot some things I planned to mention in the video, among others:

I forgot some things I planned to mention in the video, among others:
- I can switch between AMP blocks within a preset, using the "AMP 1" and "AMP 2" buttons on page 2.
- I showed I can change between the Fender and Matchless models in the AMP 1 block, through the "AMP1 X/Y" switch (page 2). I can do the same with AMP2, switching between Friedman and Plexi SLP.
- Drive, Boost and PEQ provide enough possibilities to sculpt the tone of my various guitars, without needing to switch presets.
- I forgot to demo the Wah pedal.
- I showed how to change the duty of the exp.pedal. In fact, it can perform like 4 separate pedals.
- Scenes can be named on the RJM if desired.
- The layout of pages on the RJM can vary per preset. I like consistency, so I stick to the same layout, except for the page for the Looper preset which displays all Looper controls.
- You hear the sound coming from my CLRs.
- The RJM connects through a 7-pin MIDI cable, running on phantom power.
- The expression pedal is a Mission "RJM" pedal. It has a LED, powered by the RJM, and a spring.
- This video is not about sound quality. I used the iPad's internal mic, so it's mono, and you'll probably hear some annoying automatic gain leveling and clipping.
