FAS-FX Reverb only works when exported from DAW in Real Time

Sounds like a licensing issue.

Fuzzy Distortion in Headphones Jack

How are you connecting to the headphones output? I've had this problem with a crappy 1/4" - 1/8" adapter before.

Capturing my guitar’s tone control

I don't have an exact prescription but I'm sure a low pass filter with a touch of resonance at the cutoff point will simulate it, as that's essentially all a tone control is, and as you turn it up, it increases the "mix" of the affected sound vs. the unaffected. It's worth messing with the...

Help! I'm stuck in my own head.

Yeah I agree with this wholeheartedly. People just have to get over the self-petting they get used to, needing reassurance they're doing the right thing by comparing their decisions to others' and wondering whether things could be better. At its core, this is a box which makes your guitar...

New to Axe. Should I sell my pedals?

I keep pedals on my board, but mostly just so I can quickly tweak some settings on the fly if I need to. Some others, I don't really need, but will keep for using with a tube amp. Dynacomp - don't need; compressor in Axe is way better/more versatile Soul Food - gonna keep because I love it and...

Software FracPad III - iOS/Android/Mac/Win Editor for the Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, AX8/FX8, Axe-Fx III and FM3/FM9

I didn't have everything seen here on the custom screen when I was trying the SceneNumber. I just switched to Scene List and it's fine.

Software FracPad III - iOS/Android/Mac/Win Editor for the Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, AX8/FX8, Axe-Fx III and FM3/FM9

Hey! Just got this for the second time on Android. Love it! The custom screen is what I've been after for a long time. One quick note, every time I try to change scenes from the "Scene Numbers" widget on the custom screen, the app crashes. Galaxy Note 8 - Android v. 9; Axe-Fx II mkII

Unexpected MIDI Problems - Need some advice please

Well, I'm hoping that it'll just be plug and play. I have 8-ch TRS looms at the ends of the DB25 cable. But if not, I can take it apart, yeah.

Unexpected MIDI Problems - Need some advice please

That's what it is. If you take apart a MIDI cable, it's just 3 wires, exactly like you'd find if you took apart a TRS connector. So, if you just take care to solder them correctly, all is good. This is what has allowed me to run a DB25 cable for MIDI and audio to and from my pedalboard for...

Unexpected MIDI Problems - Need some advice please

I finally got around to doing some troubleshooting and have discovered, to my dismay, that it was one of the cables. I found a midi cable deep in the closet and replaced the MIDI out -> Axe cable and it's now receiving and sending messages, so all is good. I found these guys on Amazon for...

Unexpected MIDI Problems - Need some advice please

That's a good idea. I have an 18i20 I could use. I'll try it tomorrow morning. And if that doesn't work, I'll grab another cable on Amazon. Thanks for the suggestion!

Unexpected MIDI Problems - Need some advice please

Hey y'all! So I've had my Axe II and BJ Devices TB-12 MIDI controller since 2013. I'm very familiar with all of their functionalities. Alright, so I had to make my own cables for my rig because I wanted a simplified setup; I wanted to only have to run a single cable (other than power) to my...
