    Anyone else Smoke in the same room as their Axe II ?

    Sorry for the slight derail, but I'd like to say I'm really encouraged to hear you guys who are saying saying you wouldn't torture others with your second hand smoke. My downstairs neighbor is literally forcing me out of an apartment I've been happy to live in for 12 years now, and she's doing...

    Splawn quickrod model, how dare I doubt it

    Did we ever find out which "gear" was modeled for V7? I was expecting it to sound different as well, having heard several audio clips of the real amp that blew me away. If this particular gear is already "dead-on" as the OP says, maybe a model of all the gears would help us guys who are still...

    Firmware7 - Why it's not the same for me?

    I agree with slash07. I installed the firmware twice just to make sure it was correct. Most amps seem flubbier to me. I say this with much respect for Cliff and everything he gives us! The amp sims seemed to be getting tighter/clearer up until V6.--, and with V7 it seems my tones took a step...

    About the upcomming Splawn model...

    I was psyched when I heard we were getting a Splawn Fast Rod model! Having played with it a bit now, I'm wondering which "gear" was modeled? I was hoping for that early Van Halen, insanely dynamic and sharp "brown" tone that I've heard the Fast Rod absolutely nail in several demo clips. I've...

    Great sound with my Splawn Nitro 4CM. I'm blown away !

    Any chance of a Splawn model in the future? Or is the new "Brit Super" so similar that adding something like a Quick Rod would now be redundant?

    JCM 800 suggestions

    I'd be interested to hear people's tips on this as well. I try to use the JCM 800 sim to get Neal Schon's "Stone In Love" tone, but the highs are kind of washed out by the lows. I try to compensate with the low-cut parameter, the speaker-tab page, the amp's graphic eq, etc. but I just seem to...

    V6 Beta

    Starting a thread titled "V6 Beta" on a Friday afternoon after weeks of building anticipation, just to ask if someone might know where to get version 6 somewhere else online... At least changing the title of your thread might be a good idea. Maybe in the form of a question instead of...

    Cab block drops volume on R side going from mono to stereo?

    I remember someone reporting they were having problems with drastically losing volume in the R speaker or headphone when changing the cab block from mono to stereo, and also remember seeing in the release notes that a bug fix for the cab block was included in V3.02. I don't know if that...

    Dialing In A George Lynch / Lynch Mob Tone

    Hi electron. Sorry if I made it sound like I have a patch worth sharing, but I think most other guys here could do a much better job of it. I haven't really tweaked it enough either. I just kind of threw it together when I first got the II and it sounded closer than I've ever come to a Lynch...

    Dialing In A George Lynch / Lynch Mob Tone

    Hi Kevin. I'd like to hear people chime in on this as well. I've had the best luck from the Euro Uber model. I simply took the Cameron High Gian patch and changed the model to the Euro Uber, then put a stereo cab with one side as 4X12 Uber V30 (RW), and the other side is 4X12 SOLO V12 (RW). I...

    Anyone keep their MFC in a rack drawer?

    Hi BenLevy, I wish I could remember the brand name, but it's a generic looking, black rack drawer without a lock and I bought it on ebay. If I remember I'll post the brand, but it's not stamped on the drawer anywhere I can see. For now I can tell you that the thing you should look for when...

    Anyone keep their MFC in a rack drawer?

    I had to get a 3U drawer for mine as well. I didn't try taking the rubber feet off, but given the height there's no way to fit it in a 2U drawer. As others have already said, the 3U drawer is heavy all by itself. Put the MFC in and I have an anvil to carry. I just ordered a pedal board/case...

    mfc setup question

    @boltrecords, I'm glad you asked this question because I've been searching the owners manual and the wiki for the answer but I can't find it. You mentioned in another thread that you figured it out. If you could share the answer here I'd be grateful.

    Scratchy Wah

    Yeah, I'm getting that too. But I just got my Mission EP-1 pedal today, and I've never had an expression pedal before. I thought it might be normal. I can hear it clearly as I move the pedal and the chord/note is fading out, but if I pump the pedal when the strings are muted I don't hear it...

    Gate/Expander

    Sorry if it's a stupid question, but what does "side chain" mean here? I looked up gate/expander in the axe-wiki and it uses that term but doesn't define it. To use the gate/expander block like a decimator pro-rack, would you put it serial or parallel in the chain? And where should you put...

    Not your fault Orbital. Thanks for all your work here. I feel like I'm part of a pack of horny monkeys, all trying to catch and hump the same gazelle that randomly appears out of the mist for only 1 minute each day. Pretty soon I'm just gonna have a banana and take a nap ;)

    The "Official" unofficial Axe Fx II US Purchase Availability Thread

    I was awake Sunday morning because I was half-way through a double shift of work, and I had a moment to jump online inbetween calls. I've been trying to grab more overtime to help pay for this magic box, if I ever actually get a chance to give fractal my $ that is. ;)

    Got to meet Cliff

    Thanks 6L6C. It's good to know I'm not the only one. I feel a little frustrated each time I see someone else coming forward saying they just picked one up at the factory. Their lack of response to our emails is either a passive refusal or a sign that they're just flooded with emails about all...

    Got to meet Cliff

    I'd like to know if these guys got permission to pick the Axe II up by calling directly or by just emailing fractal sales. I sent an email last week asking if I could drive up (I live in Massachusetts) but I received no response. I know they're busy and I don't want to pester them, but it seems...

    Axe-Fx II Technical Questions Thread

    Hi all. It's been a while since I posted on this forum, but I've been reading and learning all along thanks to everyone here. I'd just like to comment on the point of the 8 band EQ in the new amp block being after the power amp. I too, like bigness, was under the impression that the EQ in the...
