Hi Tony,
As I mentioned, I use the FCB1010 without the Uno chip, and it works great!
I have written the steps below, yet if you have the manual, I would direct you to page 7, and 8.
If you do not have a manual, you can download one here:
Behringer: MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010
Page 7 is the global Configuration. This will help you to get the Axe and the FCB on the same MIDI channels: Specifically manual sections 2.2 and 2.2.2. The FCB1010 is by default set to MIDI channel 1. So it may be easier to set the AXE to chan 1 and skip sections 2.2 and 2.2.2. On the AXE FX ULTRA navigate to the MIDI page, then verify chan 1 is set as the MIDI chan. You can also set the AXE FX ULTRA to OMNI which will listen to all MIDI channels just to make sure it works, but usually it’s better to set it to the channel that the other unit is transmitting on. In this case, MIDI Chan 1.
Section 2.3 Explains how to change the Program changes, etc.
Here’s how I do it quickly:
1. Have the AXE FX Ultra on, the FCB1010 on, set to the same MIDI channel
2. Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the FCB1010 to the MIDI IN of the AXE FX Ultra.
Choosing which footswitch that you want your patch on.
3. Select the PRESET you wish to edit on the FCB1010
4. Using the UP/DOWN switches, select the bank where you want your patches.(In your case, press the DOWN(Switch 2) footswitch multiple times until you see the LED’s display “00” )
5. Using the numbered footswitches, choose where you want your first effect. (In your case, select footswitch 1. footswitch 1 LED will light.
Choosing the patch for that footswitch
6. Press and hold the DOWN footswitch for more than 2.5 seconds to enter PRESET programming MODE(LED will go out, flashing green light on SWITCH1 SWITCH 2)
7. Press UP/ENTER to confirm
8. Press Footswitch # 1 momentarily to select Program Change (footswitch 1 LED flashes) This tells the FCB1010 that you’re going to be editing patch changes.
9. Press UP/ENTER to confirm
10. Using either the UP/DOWN footswitches or the PARAMETER EXPRESSION PEDAL A to choose the MIDI patch of the AXE FX ULTRA for this preset. (In your case “01” on the FCB1010 will be patch “00” on the AXE FX ULTRA)
11. After selecting the patch, pres UP/ENTER to confirm.
12. Press DOWN/ESCAPE for more than 2.5 seconds to get back to normal FCB1010 function.
13. Repeat for other patch assignments.
This should have you up and running in no time. Should you want patches that are not in order on your AXE FX Ultra, just set the Program change in step 10 to that patch.
I think that you’ll also find section 2.4.1 handy. It’s how to copy patches. This was helpful for me to copy all of my cool patches to another bank. This way if I broke a string on a show and changed guitars from say a Strat to a 335, one bank of patches was dialed in for single coil pick ups, and then I also had a bank of the same patches just dialed in for humbuckers.
I hope that this helps.
