    Waitlist Email

    I sent my original waitlist email early in February but when I saw that invites were going out past then I sent another on Sept 19. I received the purchase invitation on 12/12 and placed my order a day or two after that, so one of them made it into their system!

    Robert Fripp (King Crimson) now using Axe-Fx!

    Sorry to revive the thread but I was watching a video of Indiscipline recorded in Mexico in 2017 and it looks like Fripp has 2 AxeFx units on top of his rig.

    AFIII Journey's "Who's Crying Now" using Mark Day's Journey preset Axe-Fx 3

    Sounds nice, great job. It was one of Mark's Ain't Talkin Bout Love videos that helped push me over the top to get a V1 Axe Fx Ultra. I wonder how many units have been sold just because of Mark's videos? I'd like to see someone post a poll for that.

    Iron Maiden Guitar Cover

    I got into Iron Maiden right after Number of the Beast came out, then Piece of Mind and Powerslave came out the next two years. That was an amazing run of great music! I bought Somewhere in Time when it came out but I didn't like it as much as the previous three albums.

    Switching over to an AX8

    Now that Fractal has discontinued the MFC-101, just as I was considering retiring my Ground Control Pro for an MFC I was thinking about the possibility of just going all out with the AX8 thinking that in some ways it's the best of both worlds, top class modeling with the foot switches built...

    Kemper Profile - Orange RV50 + TS9 - Axe Preset Included

    Is the Axe FX 2 the Real Deal?

    Yngwie Malmsteen Plexi [w/ patch]

    Cathode Squish

    I'm asking because I'm not a big fan of rectifier sag. I'll have to play with a few presets and see how I like it. I really appreciate Cliff and the guys at Fractal taking the time to explain how some of the more obscure parameters work!

    Cathode Squish

    I am by no means an expert on the inner workings of a guitar amplifier so excuse the naivety of the following question: Can you explain how this differs from the sag and bloom produced by a tube rectifier?
  60. cob666

    **Help Needed** pulled the cord out of the plug--what goes where?

    The screws should be two different colors, one silver and one brass. The white wire goes on the silver one and the black on the brass. As unix-guy pointed out it really shouldn't make a difference but swapping the wires will reverse the phase (polarity) of the power which could introduce some...
  61. cob666

    FRFR sounds terrible to my ears compared to poweramp/cab. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you have power amp modeling turned off in the global settings to play through your amp? If you don't turn this back on when playing through FRFR it will not sound like how you described.
  62. cob666

    Axe changing preset Values on its own???

    Have you tried running through the songs without using the RJM? It sounds like the Axe is getting sent MIDI signals and if the only device you have hooked up is the Mastermind then that should be where you start diagnostics.

    Additional Out To A Half Stack Amp?

    Tell him the truth - This is far too complex of a problem to solve in one day. You could ask the FOH for a guitar only feed from the board and plug THAT into the Marshall FX return. Tell the sound guy he can have total control over the amp volume, might score you a few points.

    Steve Vai - Big Trouble - Tab and Preset

    Thanks for the screen shots but I have a couple of questions. Can you provide the settings for the delay and reverb? Also, where did you get the cab. Is it from one of the cab pacs? If not then what would a nice equivalent be?
  77. cob666

    Sound of Silence on Stick

    That's very interesting the way you have the reverb set up. I would have thought there was a synth pad going on if you hadn't said it was done using reverb. I'm going to try that on some of my more 'airy' patches.

    How to Make Axe Edit larger on screen??
