    Front panel poll

    I've been a front panel guy for years since I had my AxeFx2. I use Fractal Bot for auditioning patches and IRs and can't even remember the last time I use Axe Edit. I definitely don't do anything too fancy though.

    This can be done the the 59 and 65 bassguy factory presets. Go into 59 bassguy and change the compressor. Then, without saving, go to 65 bassguy and edit the compressor block. You will see the name of the compressor you switched to in 59 bassguy in blue.

    Axe-Fx III vs Helix

    Not entirely true. For example, I built a preset where I did just that. I wanted to add a rotary block but I could not do it until I shuffled some additional items from path 1 to path 2. Simply routing one to the other does not prevent you from having to micromanage the CPU. Of course the...

    As stated above, you can replicate the behavior by setting the Upper Limit for Bank Increment and Bank Decrement to 51 in Layout 7 and then trying to bank up from any preset above 204. You should be able to replicate that. The problem is that when the Upper Limit is changed to 128 it will not...

    Stacking switch controls? Multiple channels on one button press

    You can set button to be preset-specific. One of the advantages of the FCs over the MFC. And it needn't be confusing if you are able to label the buttons accordingly (I don't believe the FC lets you create custom labels so that would be another possible sticking point). Austin
