Previous versions available?

Hi, I'm not able to update my MFC-Edit from 5.2 to the latest version (7.0 Build 3912) as there looks to be a known problem with updating to this on W10 32-bit. Until somebody fixes the issue (reported by another user too), are there any other previous v7 versions available anywhere that I can...

Boston - More Than A Feeling - harmony\patch

Hi, Got a last minute audition in a few days time and they are doing Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'. I've tried to get the solo harmony sections but nothing sounds right. Anybody have any ideas (or a patch for an original MKII) on what the pitch block settings are? Thanks in advance, Mike

Just about to give up with my CLR

Hi, Before I admit defeat with the Atomic CLR as a backline piece of kit, I thought I'd ask you all if you've got a solution to a problem. I've tried IR upon IR (I've got goodness knows how many from Cab Packs over the years) and nothing seems to do the job. My common problem is not being...

Atomic CLR active wedge and....darn IR's in rehearsal

Hi, Does anybody use a CLR in a backline band situation (I only own one unfortunately!) and successfully get a good sound? Just looking for two Ultra-Res IRs to use with a Friedman BE\HBE and one with anything clean. Had a rehearsal\audition last night and the sound just disappeared. Always...

Toggle a block on/off with an external switch assignment

Hi, Cannot for the life of me remember how to toggle a block on/off with one of the 1-4 external switches. Used to have it set up, but since an update it's completely gone. :( If anybody can assist it would be really appreciated. Just need to set PEQ and GEQ on/off on ext switch 1 and 2...

Pre-EQ on Out1 and but not on Out2

Hi, This is probably going to seem a simple question, but the answer is completely evading me. I run my Axe into an active CLR cab from Output1. I use a Pre-EQ block to bump up the cab thump and use a single cab block. However, what I'd like to do is to send Output2 to FOH with that cab but...

Andy Summers' Custom Audio OD-100 overdrive sound

Well, I thought this would be straight forward, so I tried to get this sound with the new Ultra-Res cabs (I've bought the full Prd Pack 3 set). The cabs themselves seem quite a bit brighter and rolling off the high end on them tends not to have the right effect). Without Tone Matching (which I...

Seagulls in Pink Floyd Echoes

At around 09:50 in the studio recording of Echoes there is, so I'm told, a wah wired in reverse. This gives a 'seagull' screeching effect. Anybody have any idea if the Axe can get close to this sound to be authentic? Thanks in advance, Mike

FRFR - Presets are sharp or dull - first port of call to resolve the problem is....?

Hi, I'm delighted with the Atomic CLR active wedge that's recently arrived. I took it into the studio the other day and when people say that the CLR is 'unforgiving' I have to completely agree with them. Some factory presets sounded extremely dull and lifeless, some just popped out and it was...

Conversion of AXE-FX II and MFC-101 to V2 models

Hi, After just about having enough of the RJ-45 name timeout issues (I have cables that work, the highly expensive FAS11-XX cables and converters but still problems when I don't need them), do you know if there is a conversion (or any way of converting) to make both units into V2 models as to...

Weird RJ-45 connection issue giving AXE-FX Name Timeout on MFC-101

Hi, Ok, this is a really weird one. I have three RJ-45 cables which work fine with the Axe\MFC-101. I used to have 5, but two died due to use (so I bought the proper Ethercon connectors and cables as suggested). I've just ordered 4 brand new short CAT-5E RJ-45 cables and there are no comms...

Atomic CLR's - Anybody have one?

Hi all, From what I'm hearing, the new Atomic CLR's are pretty darn good. I have a Matrix GT-1000FX power amp which I'm more than happy with. However, not so infinite funds - which I'm less than happy with. :( I was thinking of either : (a) Getting one, or two, passive CLR's (probably...

FW 10.02 and MFC-101 2.16 - Expression pedals stopped working

Hi, Anybody else found this? MIDI messages look to be received on the Axe-FX, but the controller (EXT1) will not now control anything. MFC-101 does things like calibration no problem. However, nothing can control the Axe-FX. Tried switching MIDI Thru ON and OFF again, no joy. Any ideas...

FRFR in backline - is there REALLY an answer?

Hi all, I'm currently using two 1x12 Tube Town cabs (one closed back, one convertable, - very different sounds - loaded with EVH 12L cones) with my Axe-FX II and Matrix GT1000FX amp. Usual out of FX loop job ala Yek type of setup. What I would LOVE to do is use FRFR as backline to get the most...

Robust RJ-45 option needed

Hi, After two of my three RJ-45 cables died on me at my last gig (both worked at last try), I'm wondering if there is a good flexible and durable cable system that I haven't found yet. Bearing in mind that they are going to be plugged\unplugged all of the time and packed away, what would you...

V10 update - all presets sound bright!

Hi all. Ok, really shouldn't have done this too close to a gig, but I'd done the V10 update and just about every setting I have (including the v10 factory presets) sounds really brittle. Just very bright indeed on every setting (doesn't matter what cab I use). V8-V9 went really well -...

Smooth wah (or drive or anything else) control

Hi all, I've looked everywhere, and tried all sorts, for the answer but have really got nowhere. I'm looking to get a smooth increase in volume or wah or drive or anything else. Basically, I have the expression pedals to auto-engage, but they don't actually kick in until around 80% toe down...
