    Pedal steel, anyone?

    No, just a PEQ in my main preset for tone shaping because I play guitar more. I’m doing it that way just to save CPU for my guitar signal path and all the other blocks I also run in the same preset. Don’t get me wrong, use what sounds best to you. If I was playing only pedal steel and not both...

    Pedal steel, anyone?

    I play pedal steel live very often, all through my axe fx, it works and sounds great! I actually just use a PEQ block, no Amp sim. I know a few other great players who play through a solid state peavy and another uses the old line 6 red bean POD, you’d never guess it either…I think your friend...

    Anyone compare that new 2290 pedal to our 2290 delay?

    I’ve had the 2290 pedal for about a month now. In my comparisons the Axe Fx model sounds identical to me.

    Is it possible to use the smartphone to play backing tracks?

    You can use 1/8” to 1/4” stereo cable from your phone into Input 2 L/R. You have to put input 2 block into every preset you plan to use the backing tracks with though. You can use pitch shift block to drop the recordings too if they aren’t in the same key as your guitar is tuned, or vice versa.

    Formant effect for Levitating by Dua Lipa?

    I use the Roland GR-55 for that sound. The base of the sound is under the “Aaahs” PCM sound type. I haven’t tried to use the formant sound in the axe fx. I suspect it may be too far into keyboard/synth territory tho. I can’t recommend the gr-55/axe fx combo enough though, the other guitar player...

    FC-12 No longer shows PRESET or SCENE #'S

    Anyone have this? My FC-12 is doing this from time to time across many axe fx III firmware revisions - I’m on 1.11 FC firmware and 15.01 Axe III currently. Sometime the buttons freeze but sometimes they continue working. Re-inserting the XLR fixes. It seems to be getting more frequent. I’ll...

    Strings - 9s tuned to Eb and setup

    I play with 9's tuned down a half step with my Stratocaster. No issues with setup. 4/64" to 5/64" for action. Vibrato/whammy bar works flawlessly. My hands and joints love me for it too haha. That said I play with a light enough touch. You will have problems sounding sharp if you pick/hit/fret...

    Added my U2 presets to Axe-Change

    Here check this thread out. https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/u2-mysterious-ways-preset-tutorial.161598/ I added a video explaining the different settings you may want to tweak for your guitar. Hope it helps.

    Added my U2 presets to Axe-Change

    Glad you’re finding the presets somewhat helpful. From my experience I’ve found the envelope filter settings are extremely finicky for Mysterious Ways from guitar to guitar to get the feel similar to the A3. A Rickenbacker 12 string is a significant part of that sound too. Still on the bucket...

    I’m not sure how the FM3 and Axe 3 work together, I think you can just try it?
