    POLL: Humbuster Cable Length

    yea, I'd vote for 1m, but it won't let us actually vote. I'd vote that because I typically set my Axe 3 next to or on top of my amp using 4CM, and it'd minimize extra cable laying around. I have a hunch that this might correlate to the Fractal device that people own. I use long cables with my...

    First morning

    yea, actually I'd be curious about this too. Looking at a 4x12 project for this summer if I can find the time.

    AC30 Brilliant....bravo Cliff

    Cued the AC30 Brilliant up today, and wow… that’s exactly how I always hoped an AC should sound…. My apologies if this has been stated elsewhere, but which AC30 is this modeled off of? It sounds fantastic!

    CONFESSION: I put same pickups in most guitars....

    I've only got one traditional hum bucker guitar, but I've got thornbuckers in that axe, and if I were ever to bet another, I'd probably put them in there as well- I really like them. They sound good in almost any style, with excellent clarity, and they split well too.

    Fractal Audio's library/museum of great amplifiers

    Absolutely. Take the Carol Anns for example- notable and excellent amps with a fairly small number of them out there, but Alan Phillips legacy is still active through the Fractal models. We can make beautiful art with his designs, even if we don't have a physical amp sitting in front of us.

    FC-6 Sidecar: Total Success

    Cool idea to set that up with delay subdivisions! Do you use channels for that, I'm guessing?

    FC-6 Sidecar: Total Success

    These days, I'm pretty much just playing church gigs out, so stage space isn't an issue at all- I have tons of room- but yea, I completely agree with OP's point- having another FC available to augment your primary FC (or FM9) is fantastic. I've been using a dual FC setup for quite a while now-...

    Anyone still using a tube amp?

    Yea, I have four amps still- two Swarts (an SST-30 and the stereo SM-20), and two Carol Anns (a Tucana 3, and a Satin). I usually use my Axe as a virtual pedalboard- right in front of the Satin, 4CM with the Tucana, and as a w/d/w master pedalboard for the Swarts, which I usually run together-...

    Dynacab Pack Purchasers - Looking for Feedback

    I've been in the Fractal universe for a while, and I have this huge library of IRs that I've always struggled with. I've never been great at picking them out, and I don't really have the producer experience to totally understand how all the different options that IR libraries come with actually...

    Did we forget to celebrate the 6-year anniversary of the Axe-Fx III in January?

    My fractal gear is the only gear I have that gets consistently better as time goes on. Consider how rare that is- a piece of consumer electronics that six years after it's introduction is much more capable than the day it was introduced- it's pretty extraordinary, and one of the biggest (but...

    Wish AXE FX III Core - 1U Rack Version

    Oh jeez, I so don't want to have to drag a laptop or iPad with me to gigs to be able to make on the fly changes. I always use Axe Edit when I'm home, but when I'm playing out, I never, ever do- I always use the front panel. I know there's been some recent criticism of the Fractal UI, but it's...

    Wish Wish please - Mimic (Mimiq) Block

    Yea, I still run the Mimiq in one of the loops on my setup. It's really good at what it does. I'm only running two outboard pedals at the moment with my big axe rig- the Microcosm, and the Mimiq. It's very cool, and just gives an enormous stereo image in a way that doesn't come off as phasey...

    Clean Amp for Les Paul, No Fender

    Don't be afraid of taking a smaller amp that is known for breaking up early and just keeping the gain/MV really low to keep in clean, and just compensate by turning up the level- plenty of good tones to be found by keeping the knobs low and turning up the level.

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (2)

    Awesome- thank you!

    Well it happened...(FM9T v amp moment)

    I have some nice amps that I regularly play, but weirdly, because I don’t absolutely crank the amps up to where they usually sound their best, my Axe almost always sounds better. Even at volume, amps are noisy, finicky and have a serious lack of adjustability compared to the Axe. I love both...
