    Still no input signal in Reaper: Please help me troubleshoot my setup

    I had this all working fine several firmwares back but lately I cannot get an output from my Axe-II into Reaper via USB. I'm using the same template and device preferences in Reaper that I used before, so I figure this has to be an Axe issue. I have USB Adapter Mode ON and MIDI Thru ON. What...

    Fishman Triple Play - Wireless midi pickup

    I've lost my Axe's input signal in Reaper

    Another reason why I think this is an Axe setup issue is because I also get no guitar signal when I try to use the Axe as a soundcard with my TriplePlay software (and Guitar Rig/Amplitube).

    I haven't had this issue reoccur since I did as you suggested with problematic presets. However, I have still experienced random X to Y switching. This was using a brand new preset created using Fw11.0b, loading the preset using the MFC.

    Yes, I use a pair of 2x12s loaded with CL80s and V30s, driven by an Atomic Reactor 50/50 rack amp. I was previously using the GT1000FX but I felt that the valve power amp sounded more "alive" somehow, so I went back to the Atomic despite the weight.
