L6 Powercab 112+ is the real deal

I just got the Powercab 212+, and I'm really pleased with it, a couple of weeks in. So far, I've only used it with my Axe FX 2 once, in FRFR mode, and it sounded really good, better than my Yamaha DXR-12s, but maybe not quite as nice as my QSC K-10s. But I live near New Orleans, and...

Owner of a Lonely Heart?

I'm guessing there are several of y'all with Axe FX II patches using scenes for the different tones in this tune. I've never made one because I haven't been in a band that would play it. This weekend, I'm subbing on a large Casino gig, and it's in their set. I found a patch for the solo on Axe...

Backup Help!

Yes, I get that, but in order to get the MFC data onto my computer, I have to physically push the Edit switch on the unit. But I can't do that. The switch doesn't work. That's why I bought MFC Edit; I was hoping to bypass the issue of the broken switch by using the program.

Backup Help!

I need to edit a couple of things on my MFC (external switch assignments and such). But suddenly, my Edit switch no longer works. Before attempting the hassle of buying a new footswitch and swapping it out, I thought I'd download MFC Edit and do it my editing there. So I bought and installed...

Crazy, intermittent volume changes

I'm hoping this is a problem with the cable or the external footswitch (and not the MFC or--god forbid--the unit itself). For the last few months, I've noticed occasional swells or dips in volume while I'm playing. It was so intermittent that I let it slide, but over the last couple of gigs...

I just downloaded the Naked Amps set, but I'm too busy today to plug in an play them. Damn!

New to the Axe-Fx world

Where has Axe Exchange gone? Am I just having a brain fart, or is it no longer linked from the Fractal Page?

Beatles-Era McCartney bass tone?

I have a gig coming up as Paul with a Beatles tribute band, and I had a bass amp lined up to borrow, but it fell through (my bass amp died, and I haven't been playing enough gigs on bass to justify buying a whole new rig). So I was thinking I might just run an Axe FX patch through my monitor...

Anybody using a dedicated laptop live?

I've been thinking lately about getting a cheap used/refurbished laptop that I could keep in my rack. It wouldn't cost much, and I'd have all of the advantages of Axe-Edit in a live setting. It's embarrassing to admit, but I can no longer read the Axe-FX II screen (except for the patch number)...

Skeuomorphic or not?

Though I like the skeuomorphic approach in the UA plug-ins, I wouldn't want to see Fractal go the same route. For one thing, specific amp and cab models are just the starting point when I'm making a patch; If I open Neve 1073, Pultec and LA-2A plug-ins at the same time in UA Console, they...

"This Program is not compatible with current macOS. . ."

I just installed the latest OS update on my iMac (High Sierra OS 10.13.4), and when I opened Axe-Edit, I got a "the developer needs to update this program" message telling me the current version of Axe-Edit isn't "compatible" with this OS. So far, though, it seems to be working as normal...

AXE-FX III Rush Cover YYZ

I sometimes play in a trio with a bass player and drummer who learned this together in high school. They’ve been after me to learn it, because we get the occasional Rush request, and the only one we currently do is Tom Sawyer. If you publish the patch, I’ll have to shed the tune...

III on the Floor

I was on the verge of getting an Axe 8, so I could eliminate the rack+MFC thing and make my live setups a little easier. The III looks amazing, but I'm thinking now, I may hold off and wait for a floor version of it. I bought my II just before the XL came out (and kicked myself), then bought the...
