    Fryette Power Station tube power amp

    Hi everyone, It's been a while since I posted about my use of the first PS in my Ultra wet/dry rig. The dry side taps off after the amp and before the cabinet with an exf send to output 2 into the PS. This has worked out great for me, but I have two things to post about that might be of...

    Axe-Fx Ultra in 2017

    I just stopped by and found this post. I am still very happy using my Ultra in the studio and for live gigs. There is just so much I can do with it, for all styles of music ( I have only gotten deep into about 30% of the amps and fxs, so I still have much to experiment with). I have had it...

    World's simplest/reliable MFC for Axe-Fx other than FAS MFC

One built in exp pedal and jacks for 4 more externals ( I use 1 external for my Mission exp...

    Using Backing Tracks to Trigger Preset/Scene Changes w/ Bandhelper

    This is just my 2c on how I approached backing tracks. I’ve had my Ultra for a number of years and have worked on a gig rig set-up that would allow backing track integration…either in a band or a solo setting. I have worked with midi controllers, lap tops & DAW triggering, BIAB, before coming...

    I did leave out an important part of how my signal chain is set up....My dry signal, going to the PS...gets shunted off of the Amp block, before the cab block, the dry signal then hits a PEQ and then a FXL ( only have the dry channel on, the other three at 0db ) to Output #2 and cable to the...

    Fryette Power Station tube power amp

    Sound distorts when Wah is engaged

    Cliff... So because of that natural boost from the Wa, some Amp sims can get a build-up at certain frequencies, leading to the overload? Would the best way to deal with this be a GEQ after the Wa, and pull down the overloading ranges? Thanks for the assistance

    My MIDI connection is at another location, but neither of my amps have their boost on, the Wa's level is 0.00 or -2.00. What's happens is right after autoengage, I get a frequencey bump in the 200-300 hz range that, while not always causing the overload LED to light, it causes an ugly speaker...

    Fenderbender has a point... My Wa settings are taken from the Wiki, for the C. McCoy Wa. I use autoengage to activate it. I find the distortion comes right after engaging the midi pedal, in the low-bass/mid-bass range of the sweep. It is very hard to work that area of the sweep range with a...

    Balancing level settings - from Ax-Fx to Verve 12ma's

    That's just it, it's not that loud. I've played out since the 70's, with big, loud rigs. This is nowhere near that, which is why I'm so plexed (no pun) about it. Well after all this I tried looking at it from another direction. I'm in a new home studio (an old east coast city row house). I had...

My Ax-Fx input and output LED's are not in the red. My Ax-Fx output is at 9 o'clock on the knob, which I agree, is low. Should I just max...

    A beginners rig - wow what a difference

    Ok, I've had my Ultra for a little over a week. I was using Dynaudio BM6a's through out 1 and was Eq'ing pretty good tones while playing to backing tracks. I went with the BM6a's cause I could not get hold of a pair of Verve 8ma's. This weekend I added a single Verve 12ma through out 2 (copy out...

    Cooling fan started to vibrate with played low notes.

    Ok, I'm going to leave this incase someone else has this problem. Like I said above, the cooling fan inside my Ultra started to make vibration noise when I would play low notes. I've had the Ultra 1 week. :? So I emailed support and got an answer within hours. They suspected that one of the...

    Cooling fan started to vibrate with played low notes.

    I have had my Axe-Fx about a week. I've been playing every day. I love it. Today I noticed that the internal cooling fan has started to vibrate (with a noise) when I hit certain notes on the 6th & 5th strings. Not the regular fan noise, which is OK to me. I don't know how it is attached...

    How to activate Global Bypass in an efx block??

    I was actually looking for the first thing that Dpoiries addressed. The Global Bypass switch. I had no problem assigning the pedal correctly, but was asking how to then assign a block, like the Drive block, to its bypassed state. The answer I found was to go to Layout view, highlight the...

    How to activate Global Bypass in an efx block??

    I am trying to activate Global Bypass in a Drive or Efx block so I can use a momentary pedal to switch blocks on and off in a preset. I have my pedal set to Pedal 1 input and then Pedal 1 to Global Bypass, but how do you set the blocks to receive on and off GB commands?? :? I am using my...

    Amp "Boost" function, pressed enter, Help

    Hi, the new guy again. I have an Ultra with Firmware 8.09. Having read the manual and wiki about the boost function, I go to Amp on the front panel, I highlight it and push Enter. At that point I expect to hear a volume jump from the amp as the Boost is engaged, but what happens is a Modifier...

    Ultra user - use for the "outside" presets

    Thanks everyone. Thats kind of what I thought. Its good to know if I ever need them I can go on-line. By showing what it can do, I'm guessing you mean you can go through it with "Edit" to see how it was created and go from there.

    Ultra user - use for the "outside" presets

    The presets have many great useable guitar tones, and then there's many spacey efx presets that, while they sound great, how many of them can really be gig useful? What do other forum members use them for??? Are they just spots to be overwritten as a "user preset" place?? As a new user I'm...

    Use of Dbl. Momentary Switch pedal - tip & ring sends

    I have found a momentary footswitch, with two switches on it. One switch sends the signal through the tip, and the other switch sends through the ring. On Axe-Fx, the pedal inputs call for a stereo chord to be plugged-in. Does anyone know if there is a way to program the Axe-fx to accept the two...

    Just getting going - Need users help

    I got my Ultra a day ago and I'm getting to know it by going through the presets. Because of the volume differences in the presets, I've been using the Input 1 and Output 1 level knobs to adjust the volume of the presets. What is the best way to adjust the volume of the presets, without...

    My Ultra arrived today - Thoughts and thanks...

    The last year and a half I have spent so much time in my studio working on my last 2 CDs that my chops have taken a big hit. I'm an old school tube guy, so I needed to spend some time learning my DAW software and plug-ins, to improve tunes I write in my project studio. Well I'm so jazzed at the...

    Anyone using a Korg EXP-2 expression pedal with Axe-Fx???

    I've been to the Wiki and looked at the list. I have a Boss FV-500H, which I know is wrong for expression. I am trying to see what else I can put my hands on to use. Has anyone tried a Korg EXP-2?? Its kind of like a Boss, with a rotary pot on the side. Can anyone make another suggestion...

    My Ultra arrived today - Thoughts and thanks...

    Its here! :D Through all the east coast rain. I did about 3 weeks of pre-prep on this forum and the wiki. Thanks to all for suggestions on FRFR speakers. I ended up with Dynaudio BM6a's cause I'm still chaising two Verve 8ma's at a non-responsive distributor, but that's another story. :x I...

    Yea, Angelo120, we do keep hearing about the 101. If I thought it might be a reality soon I would wait. Otherwise the Ground Control Pro has some higher price features at a lower cost, and there is that great set-up video here to guide you on your way... Cliff, Cliff, can we hear somthing...
