    Can’t Load Axe Edit

    I've downloaded and installed the Visual C++file linked above, still get the same error message. Any other fixes?

    Axe-Edit 3.14.4

    Running Q10.01 fw, presets exported using Axe Edit 3.14.4 cannot be imported "not a valid fle" is displayed. Reverting back to Axe Edit 3.14.2 allows for importing of presets, as before, but there's a new issue. Upon "Cancel" of the automatic Axe Edit update window, "reading block definitions"...

    Going from FRFR to poweramp/cab

    Shouldn't require more than bypassing the cab block and maybe some global EQ tweaks. If this doesn't do it, like others have stated, try starting with a new preset. It's possible you've made some forgotten tweaks to the preset which could be impeding things.

    How many tried the III and decided to just keep using the II?

    Same here, I'll probably never buy a III because I "need one", it would only be because I "want one". I currently carry my entire Axe Fx rig (Axe II and MFC), less my CLR, in a single 4u rack bag, which is borderline for a weight and size that I'd want to carry. Anything larger, and I'd have to...

    Running SM7B (dynamic mic) through Axe-Fx II

    I've actually recorded some vocals by running an SM58 into my Axe Fx II, then using the tube pre block to boost the signal. For just messing around with recording some vocals, I got some decent results, but definitely not a replacement for a high end mic pre.

    Uneven Balanced XLR levels

    Before assuming it's "hardware" related, have you tried creating a simple preset with one block, like an amp block? There could be something in the preset(s), which could explain the difference (unbalanced stereo blocks...). Just a thought, and easy to check.

    Long-time Axe-Fx user, first time FRFR user, some thoughts

    I didn't see where you mentioned what you're using for cabs/monitors. The actual physical cabs/monitors being used can heavily influence the end result. If you're running the signal through low end monitors, or cabs that are not very flat, it can add undesirable characteristics, something no IR...

    Re-amping with Reaper Question #432

    It's never staying "within the box", as the actual recorded files reside on the DAW host computer. As for D/A and A/D conversion, I would assume that there's no way around that, since Reaper stores tracks as wav or flac files (audio). I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

    What's your favorite amp model?

    JCM 800, with or without a drive in front, JTM 45 for cleans.

    2 almost identical patches, different output volumes?

    Check your amp block X/Y settings in each of the presets.

    Should I keep bothering with the Axe-Fx II XL+?

    I've never liked any of the presets made by others "as is", no matter who made them. I only found the sounds I was looking for through experimentation. The most important thing for me, at least playing live, was obtaining a FRFR solution that was capable of accurately reproducing the Axe Fx...

    Late 70's Marshall JMP Master Model 50w Mk2. Lead

    Aside from the 1987x suggestion, I would start with a JCM800 model. That, with a drive block in front will get you most Marshall JMP and JCM tones.

    After 10 years, I'm done...

    I also have many "real" tube amps, mostly Marshall's (10 to be exact), and struggled for a couple of years with finding a FRFR solution that could match my amps "in the room". Even after I purchased 2 active CLR's, it just wasn't giving me what I wanted. Now, 2 years later, I'm using one active...

    AXE -FXII now on Close Out sale status in store! Get one while u can!

    I'm so glad that age has taught me to be more content. My Axe II and vintage MFC101 still meet all of my needs. The majority of my presets/patches only use around 75% CPU and I'm a happy camper. I think it's great that Fractal is still thriving and putting out new products, and some day a...

    Axe II MKI Locking Up Repeatedly With Q 9.02 (Advice Needed)

    How would you know if a preset is "corrupted"? Just updated firmware to 9.03, same issue. Doesn't seem to be preset dependent.
