    With the news of TigerSharcs stopping production, what does that mean for the Axe Fx?

    Oh man, I'm going to keep my Axe Fx II then, because the old TigerShark processors will sound way better than the new ones.

    Power Cable for Axe FX II

    If you use a new power cable, just make sure you give it time to properly break in or your tone will suffer. That's why I only use vintage power cables. I also purchased a line filter that only lets the older, warmer-sounding electrons into the amp. (Man, I really wanted to say "... or...

    Upgraded to Quantum from 16.01... presets sounds shitty

    AMEN! It's like "love it or leave it": You'd better love the constant firmware updates, and tweaking things over and over again, or "leave it" - either get rid of your Axe-Fx, or stick with one firmware and never plan on upgrading. And people will jump all over you if you point out the...

    Upgraded to Quantum from 16.01... presets sounds shitty

    Because people seem to get upset if someone points out things they don't like about the Axe-Fx.

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

    Heh. It's kind of funny that my original post sparked a conversation about the nature of firmware updates, placebo effect, hyperboly, etc - a post that got removed by a moderator ;-) For the record, I wasn't accusing FAS of indulging in hyperboly - that's all on our end. ;-) Nor was I saying the...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

    Wow, I didn't realize our posts were being censored if we voice an opinion that isn't welcome. I was poking fun at the frequent hyperboly around new FW releases - all in good fun, but that got my post deleted. Interesting.

    External Effects

    I run an old Ernie Ball volume pedal in front, a (rarely used) non-true-bypass drive pedal as a buffer, and a PolyTune. I've never been able to get an expression pedal sweep to replicate the EB vol I have. Those are all in front of the axe though, on my pedal board. As far as effects, I've never...

    Temporary boost

    I use a global volume block, that way it tracks with state changes and I can modify my boost across all my presets. In the rare instance I need more or less boost for the solo in a certain song (I use one patch per song, all originals, solos are always scene 4) I'll modify the scene with a tap...

    MIDI sync issues?

    Thanks for the response Cliff. Is synching to MIDI downbeat something that you can eventually implement, or is there some basic hardware or software issue prohibiting it? If it's simply not possible, then that's just the way it is. I'd think (don't you love when us users arm chair program?)...

    MIDI sync issues?

    I'd prefer not to adopt the "love it or leave it" philosopy if it's a problem that can be addressed. There have been a lot of features added and issues addressed over the years and maybe this will be one?

    MIDI sync issues?

    And here comes FW20, with more things I don't need, and the MIDI clock sync issue still being ignored. I was asked not to address questions on this forum to Cliff, because he reads them all anyway...but as far as I can tell this issue is still falling on deaf ears.

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 20.00 Public Beta

    Has the MIDI clock syncronization problem been fixed?

    MIDI sync issues?

    Dang. I was hoping sending 0 and 127 to CC14 would be a straightforward solution. As to your question of how hard would it be to implement standard MIDI clock, start/stop, etc., obviously only Fractal can answer that, but it seems our woes are falling on deaf ears so far (the issue has existed...

    MIDI sync issues?

    Oh thanks Bakerman. So, in a real setting, I'd need to send 0, 127 to CC122 each loop start, not each bar, correct? If it's a 4 bar phrase I'm looping, I'd need to send 0 then 127 every 4 bars, yeah? I'm now wondering: if I send CC14 (tap tempo) from Ableton to the Axe on each down beat, will...

    Windows 10 Kills For Audio

    Actually, it is worthwhile. Which system is someone going to attempt to break into - the totally unprotected machine sitting on a totally open WiFi router, or the system that has 20 different layers of security? Even if some of those layers have ways around them, they all add up to increasing...
