Guitar cab vs FRFR?

This is a very interesting topic for me. I use my Axe FX II quite a bit for cover band gigs where I monitor through my vocal wedge but recognize it as a compromise. It sounds great for direct to PA and recording (using cab and mic simulation). I also use it often for effects only with my "real"...

quantum, now cab backups = message timeout

Finally getting around to posting an update here. My issue appears to have been the USB cable. I had switched to an extra long one to make it more convenient for positioning the rack vs. computer. Going back to a typical short USB cable I have no issues. I've done firmware upgrades, backups, Axe...

quantum, now cab backups = message timeout

Resurrecting this old thread because I am seeing the same symptom for the first time. I don't see any resolution here but perhaps I need to search the forums more. I recently upgraded my Axe FX II Mk 2 to Quantum 5.0, I did a full backup no problems before upgrading (I am using Fractal Bot...

How to Make Axe Edit larger on screen??

For me it's not about zooming in, it's wanting to be able to see more items on the screen without scrolling. For example, I'm selecting a cab but I can only see the first 104 items in the list and must scroll the window to see the ones I *really* want. :) That said, I'm just happy to have a...

Copy X to Y for ALL blocks?

I just got my Axe-FX II so still figuring out some of the basics. I've done my best to search for answers before posting and I'll post my questions individually to hopefully make them easier for others to search in the future. Is there any way to copy X to Y (or vice versa) for ALL blocks or...

Assign I/O Jack in Patch - Possible?

I'm wanting to do A/B/Y switching using the Axe in FX only mode (no amp or cab blocks) in front of 2 actual (not virtual :) ) guitar amps, one clean the other dirty. Basically I'm trying to reproduce what I did with a custom switching rig many years back. Again, it appears the Volume/Pan blocks...

Assign I/O Jack in Patch - Possible?

I'm a noob with the Axe but just did some quick testing and it appears that using Volume/Pan blocks I can do what I want (A/B/Y switching for 2 amps) using the left and right outputs. I'll post details after I've given it a good workout (including controlling from my Midimate).

Assign I/O Jack in Patch - Possible?

I just received my Axe-FX II. Being able to assign the signal chain to different outputs (A/B/Y switching) seems so basic I didn't even read up on it, I just assumed it was there. Stunned...
