    FBT 12MA woes....

    I got word from FBT USA in CT. and apparently, they can find nothing wrong with 12MA. This really sucks. It cost me 75 bucks to ship it for nothing. So now the questions is what am I doing wrong here. To remind you guys of the symptoms, I'm getting a fuzzy sound on the B and high E strings both...

    Verve 12MA issue

    Bought a 12MA from someone on these boards. I'm generally happy with it as it is lightweight and sounds pretty awesome...most of the time. However, when I play my B and high E strings with a clean setting both open and fretted, there is a buzz or a distortion. My bass player thought it was a...

    Impedence question

    This isn't really an Axe specific question; but can I use two cabinets with different impedance ratings. We are playing a club with two house Marshall cabs. One is 8 ohms and the other is 16. Would anything bad happen if I outputted my Crown SLX 1500 to both cabs? Thanks.

    Power amp and speaker match up question

    Hey gang, I am looking at purchasing a Crown XLS series poweramp. The 1500 is rated 300 Watts @ 8 ohms, while the 2000 is rated at 375 Watts @ 8 ohms. My Carvin 832 cabinets are 400 Watts at 8 ohms. The guy at Guitar Center said both of these amps are underpowered for my speakers and would...

    I have an original trem-o-verb head with a Boogie 2X12 closed back cab. How much can I get for it? ...assuming there are dudes out there still using old school amps :-) Thank yee

    FBT -vs- RCF

    Has anyone A/B'd the Verve 12MA against the RCF Art 310. It appears that these are amongst the leaders for FRFR monitors in the Axe community. I'd prefer a ten inch speaker for obvious reasons; but I don't want to give up too much in sound quality...odd that there is no Verve 10MA :cry: Is...

    Problem with FCB1010

    I've had this thing working well for months. All of a sudden at last rehearsal, in the middle of a song, my midi mapping was lost and stepping on the switches of the 1010 yielded seemingly random program changes. I tried powering down, reinserting the midi cables at both ends and eliminated my...

    Class D Questions

    Still attempting to replace my 60lb Crest CA-6. I notice a lot of people praising the QSC K-12, 10, 8 powered speakers. I've also seen a lot of posts (including my own) deriding class D amplification. Are the QSC's better than your average class D amps? Is there any class D out there that is...

    Peavey IPR1600 -VS- Crown XLS 1000

    I have a Peavey IPR1600 and I'm still really on the fence about keeping it (it hasn't helped at all that my band decided to take two weeks off just as it arrived). Anyhow, some of the difficulties that I am having is that it's very noisy on the high gain amps compared to my Crest CA6. Don't know...

    Synth module???

    I know this is a looong shot; but I wonder if there is any chance that a future version of the Axe-FX might include a 13 pin midi in and a soundcard. For years, I've been interested in the prospect of a decent sounding/tracking guitar synth; but the technology hasn't advanced in 20 years. Both...

    Using the FCB101 with the Axe and a second processor

    Wondering if anyone has had experience using the FCB to control two midi devices. I'm thinking of working an Axon AX100 synth into the program. What I'd like to do is set up program changes on the FCB that control both devices...both changing and bypass (change a preset on the Axe while...

    I'm finally there...was it worth it?

    I've finally hit upon what others have been talking about in terms of how great the Axe-FX is. It took a little over two months; but i finally brought my rig to the studio and am very happy with the sound. I have my Ultra going into a Crest CA6 and i am using a pair of Carvin 832 passive...

    Carvin 832's

    There is a guy selling 2 Carvin 832 full range passive PA cabinets on Craigslist for $300.00. I'm thinking of running them with a Crest CA6 power amp. Does anyone have any experience with Carvin in general or with this particular model? They are rated for 400 watts each and have a 15''...

    Mid to low priced powered speaker recommendations

    I'm wondering if anyone is using mid to low priced powered speakers and are happy with them. I was browsing Ebay and I came across some names like Podium, Tapco, Gemsound, Seizmic Audio (SA). I know it's probably crap; but sometimes you find a diamond (or at least a hunk of silver) in the rough.

    Samson XPL Series

    Anyone have experience with the Samson XPL series? I picked up the XPL200 at Sam Ash today. It sounds really good in my apartment; but the real test will beat practice in the studio later next week. It was only $300, has built in wheels and sits on the ground angled up to project. The design is...

    Laygo's FCB Phantom Power Mod

    I am interested in performing this mod. Has anyone else tried it? Laygo, what's happening at the other end of the cable? Is it truly being powered from the Axe Fx or is the wall wart plugged in at some point. If it's not plugged in, why would you need the adapter in the first place? Certrainly...

    My next hurdle with the FCB101

    Well, I've finally got my expression pedals working, thanks in large part to Purple. I am now experiencing some difficulties with stompbox mode. I set up a preset with a pitch effect and I can't seem to tell the Axe when to turn it on and off. I first went into the I/O and set the pitch CC...

    FCB 1010 Help needed. Round 2.

    Guys, Sorry to be a burden; but I can't get this right. I got my uNo Eprom and used the Ripworks editor and created a .syx. I'm experiencing a few major difficulties: Firstly, I set up the tuner as CNT 1 on my program change presets (switches 1-5). When I execute each switch, the program...

    Yamaha Stagepas

    Anyone have any experience wirh the Yamaha Stagepas series (either the 300 or 500) and the Axe-FX. It's very reasonably priced for an all in one PA system that supports up to 8 ins and weighs less than 40 lbs; but is the sound up to standard? I've read some reviews on Musicians Friend and they...

    Is there ane axechange at this point?

    hi guys, I'm a newbie and picked up my Ultra earlier this week. I went to www.axechange.net and it said, sorry, we are closed. There were a couple of files to download...which I did. Is there another URL? Is the axechange coming back at some point? Thanks - Steve

    FCB 1010 Please help

    I just got my Axe Ultra and a used FCB 1010. It does not have the uNo e-prom. I hooked up the pedal and it is controlling the Axe to switch presets. However, I can not get the pedals to work. I am trying to assign a pedal as a volume controller for a preset. I tried the learning function as...

    Is the Mesa 50/50 FRFR?

    I was talking to a buddy of mine who installs sound professionally about getting a power amp for my eventual Fractal purchase. He said, "why don't you just use your 50/50 with full range/flat response speakers." I said that I thought the 50/50 was voiced specifically for guitar and he said power...

    Power amp andCabinet Vs PA setup.

    What do people prefer for live applications? I'm definitely planning to go stereo. I was thinking of powering 2 1X12 guitar cabs with my Boogie 50/50 or getting a small (<300 watt) PA and sending the Axe-FX through that. What are the drawbacks of one set-up vs the other? Can you achieve a...

    to UNO or not to UNO

    hello all, I am a noob to this board and to the world a Fractal. I ordered a Digi eleven rack from G.C. and started reading up. After seeing how it is being trashed by everyone in favor of the Axe-FX, I have decided to cancel my order and go with the best. I have a few questions, however...
