    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Well, I like to experiment, I like to push the limits, and I like to search and dig until I break things. Stereo hookup lacks the snap and bite of popular mono amp rigs I hear. I am just looking for a mono amp sound these days. That doesn't mean I can't go back to stereo with the turn of a...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Ok maybe I was digging, but I hear some other people say stuff like the JCM guy said, and no, they never mentioned stereo being the issue, but they had an issue none the less, and the problem is not always in the axe, I know. There really is no prolem at all. Its just my preference of how i...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Sorry I have been vague ! I am looking for mono into both cabs that play the same thing at the same time. Its hard for me to explain Axe tech talk into forum talk. I sometimes think people are thinking I am lost, somewhat am, but I don't know a lot of this stuff as you can tell, so please be...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Yes, this is what I'm talking about !!! Ok, so when I am set in mono some presets have effects that are in stereo. So would choosing to turn these effects to mono may be worth it. That is what I like,because I didn't think about that. I thought it would already default by setting your I/O's in...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    1) gear hooked : Les Paul - Axe Fx front input mono - (back of Axe Out1 Left/ Out2 Left for dual mono going to) Fryette 2:50:2 power amp - (2) 4 X 12 cabs. 2) What I mean when I say stereo doesn't cut it: Because of the dual poteniometer volume control in stereo, the right cab comes in softer...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Kinda confused by your response. If you are not set up dual mono, then I guess you can't help. Thanks for adding that. I get it. I am just surprised that people think this is so weird. Not you guys, my friends here. They say, JUST DO STEREO DUDE. That is not cutting it. So they say, just go...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Sorry Rick, I just left the power amp out sorry !!!! My bad ! I had true Stereo setup and I don't feel it. I want both cabs to spit MONO, so I am doing AXE FX OUT 1 and OUT 2 (BOTH LEFT) to power amp to cabs. Your way when I use L+R SUM I hear NO DIFFERENCE over stereo. I'm not a novice...

    Am I doing something wrong with my setup ?

    Can anyone tell me what I could be doing wrong, and how to make my setup better. Dual mono with (2) 4 X 12 cabs. I have the AXE FX OUTPUT 1 LEFT > power amp > Going to (1) 4 X 12 cab and Axe FX OUTPUT 2 LEFT > power amp > Going to the other (1) 4 X 12 cab This would be true dual mono correct...

    Getting ready to take the plunge

    What I like about the Ultra so much, is the capability to get just about any tone that you want. You can go from over processed to organic, glassy plickety acoustic to detah metal, and you shape and form the tone anywhere with the GEQ and Para Eq as well as pan effects and . As your ear grows...

    Help me like my ultra

    I am somewhat of a trouble shooter by nature and job. You have to figure out, what is it in the chain that is holding your tone back". Ok lets recap. You have an AXE-ART SLA-CAB. Well we all know the Axe works for most. And your Cab is fine because you play other amps with it. So Obviously it...

    Ultra, LFP and Mission SP1-LF

    Thanks Jeff, But I am not using the LF Junior or Pro with my Misison SP-1 pedal. I am using the Mission pedal into the Axe Ultra via 2 TRS cables. Mission said I could toggle between Volume and Wah with this. However if I only have pedal 1 as the switch (latching) and pedal 2 as the...

    Ultra, LFP and Mission SP1-LF

    I am in the same boat. I too have been searching the forum. I have used the instructions that came with the Mission Pedal online http://www.mission-engineering.com/Miss ... -guide.pdf to set up the wah. I did that, then did the same thing for the volume. Now I can get both to work at the same...

    Parametric EQ, Illiminating Frequency's not necessary

    Excellent ! Thanks guys. That's why I ask. Well, maybe it's not a matter of what the Axe is putting out. I am still learning, someone gave me advice on this and thats why I'm asking you guys. Maybe cutting frequencies that don't complement my cabinets or my ear is a better way to approach the...

    Parametric EQ, Illiminating Frequency's not necessary

    I may be losing dynamics and attack(punch) in the power amp due to amplified freq. from the AxeFX that you can´t hear (frequencies that aren´t necessary for the sound). I want to use a parametric EQ Block. Can anyone tell me how to do the following: Cut the freq.below 60Hz and above 5kHz-6kHz...

    Stereo Cable for 'Mission Expression Pedal SP-1'

    Hi All, 1) I wanted to know if I needed a good TRS Stereo cable for the floor controllers. It seems it is just carrying midi commands, ons and offs so does the cable have to be so good ? Most are Hosa and othe cheap cables. 2) Also, is there anything I need to know about using the SP-1...

    compressor settings, please need help

    If I can put in my two cents, even using all 3 compressors in a row does not beat a high end Compressor Pedal. Just a thought. I am one that is not against using pedals or other effects with the Axe Ultra at all. Some poeple say, how could you! My Ear is King !

    New member of the Club....UPS just delivered my ULTRA

    What do you mean your 2nd one ? Did you sell your other one and find that just nothing compares, so you went back to the Ultra ? I bought some of the TOP DOLLAR Distortion pedals on the market to test out the Ultra myself. I'd rather not give them free advertising, but lets say they were $300...

    Problem with Active Pickups

    My problem is, when I finally dial in the great tone/sound I want form the Axe FX, the red lights under the green screen clip causing me to turn down levels and I lose my great tone ! If turning down your gain/volume/level, levels stops the feedback, it may also take away from the tone you...

    Volume & Level Increases, FET Boost make Axe FX Clip out...

    Ok, but would a clean boost just be a waste of time. I mean this... If i got a clean boost, wouldn't it be the same thing as turning up my volume on the axe Ultra ? I mean, I don't think a clean boost would help me much, as when engaged, I would have to turn down my Ultra Volume to compensate...

    Volume & Level Increases, FET Boost make Axe FX Clip out...

    Hi, QUESTION: If I use a clean boost pedal before I go into the axe FX, will I have problems with the Ultra clipping out ? Meaning, I want to boost the Axe FX volume and tone, but when I change the Master and Level controls on high gain amp blocks it will easily clip out red. Would a Boost...

    Achiveing Ultimate Sustain

    Excellent guys ! Thanks. I do get decent sustain on a lot of presets. I think some of the fixes you guys mentioned helped greatly. It's in the compressor and too much squashes and just the right amount increases nicely. *** Also, with some rooting around, I noticed that MOST presets have a...

    Achiveing Ultimate Sustain

    Well, I have to be realistic. Maybe not "infinite sustain". Ebow looks fun but not for me. I am ok with sustain for a while then into feedback, like on most rigs. I am not downing the Ultra, it has great sustain, I am just looking for more, bigger, longer tones and I want to know if the axe is...

    Achiveing Ultimate Sustain

    Achiveing Ultimate Sustain

    Hi all, I know sustain is a matter of many factors. And not just some magical 1 piece eq. I see pedals out there that claim to be Sustainers.

    I hate to be petty, but I have to ask...

    If I request a replacement, do i have to take the cover off to replace it and solder anything ? Or can I just unscrew and screw in a new female guitar input at the front?

    I hate to be petty, but I have to ask...

    Totally agree about the lines on the screen after power off ! Oh man... So much NOT to worry about. I think I need concentrate more on playing and stop looking for flaws. But, might as well make sure its not a defect and a necessary fix.

    I hate to be petty, but I have to ask...

    I hate to be petty, but I have to ask...

    The guitar intput on the front of my AXE Ultra is super loose. Loose like a goose ! The guitar cord just pulls out like butter. I have to loop the cord around the Ultra's handles so it stays in place. This is something I would never send back to fractal to fix. Is there a way I could unbolt it...

    Output 1, L and R not equal in output to cabinets...

    Thanks Mik, I did notice that some presets have the R side louder than the L side as well. I know this is for stereo effect. Is there anyway to stop this ? Besides using the AMP Blocks BAL(ance) control? There are just times I want the same volume/ output coming out of both L&R Cabinets. If...

    Gate problem ...

    Can you tell me how to set up the gate to act as a decimator ? When you say gate, are you refering to the stock gate (standard on each preset) in the layout portion of each preset (3 rd page over), or are you talking about gates that you add as blocks in the chain. Thanks
