    Audio clip after long verb/delays..looking for suggestions

    Long time user...but never found a happy balance on this. I'm running verbs and delays in parallel...now using the new killdry function. I have my amps and drives set where when I'm at my loudest..I'm just at unity gain on the output meters. Once I use a delay or verb for huge ambient...

    Wish Tempos saved per song

    Would be HUGE to save the tempo per song rather than per preset. For those of us that use 1 preset setup for most songs....it would keep us from having to save so many presets just to get a different tempo. Basically this would be a per song override of the tempo saved in the preset?

    Bug? Switches lost mapping and amps changed

    Hey all. I turned my fm3 on this morning to run through a quick practice and my drive block mapped to one of my switches disappeared. It was if the switch wasn’t mapped to anything. FMEdit still shows the correct mapping. Nothing has changed on the unit. I turned it off and turned it back...

    Not a Bug FW6.01 Undertone single notes

    Hey all...I noticed on certain amps that I get an undertone...almost like I'm using a octave drive or something when just playing a simple note. I've noticed it in the DC 30 model...but I don't notice the same issue in fender models and it's not as obvious in the AC20. I'm not a high gain...

    FM3 switching other devices

    Hey all…I’m sure the answer is no…but wanted to double check before buying something else. Can I route 2 switches on the fm3/fm9 to control something else? I have a Bluetooth page turner that just needs a monetary switch. Thought it’d be great if I could use one of the switches for that purpose.

    I’m trying to reproduce the tone of a way huge cameltoe which is a combo of a green rhino and red llama. Anyone have thoughts on which drive blocks would be close? Kind of has a bit of fuzz character.

    FM3 2nd song in 14yrs....FM3 Princeton only

    Hey everyone... So here's my 2nd songwriting attempt. This one is called Tease. It's a bit less emotional than the 1st song, but still turned into a fun rock tune. I am by no means a lead guitar guy...so go easy on the solo. :p. I might also add a bit of bgv on the chorus. Let me know what...

    Fixed Amp not showing properly on reboot

    I have a preset that boots up on channel C..which is a Bassman in the amp block. FM3 Edit always reverts it back to the 59 bass. I click on channel B...then back to C and it now shows the correct amp in the editor. I have a video of this happening if anyone needs to see it. I'm on the latest...

    Amp Block compression

    I am a seasoned user of the Axe Fx II as well as the AX8. I have been overly pleased with the progression of these units and I have always been satisfied with my tone. I rarely if ever adjust any of the advanced parameters. I found it made things more complicated when having to reset after FW...

    AX8 arrived..question regarding volume and clarity

    Axe fx 2 concerns with buying used

    Curious of your thoughts. If you buy a 'lightly used' axe, would you expect the mounting brackets to be bent and paint chipped off the corners? Paid 1800 for it. I'm not at home to test it, but curious if this would scare you all? It was also supposed to come with a hard case and that didn't...
