    How to set Cab Mix?

    I had the Ultra and then the Axe-FX II Mark III and now the FM9. I have an acoustic patch that uses a Martin acoustic IR for a CAB. I could have sworn in the past that the Cab block had a mix setting on it because I only want a bit of the Martin IR in the mix. Is there any other way to have a...

    MFC-101 Axe-II Axe-Edit, effects don't change in Axe-edit when engaged on MFC-101

    Yes, TotalSync is on. It's weird that it will reflect preset changes but no any of the effects.

    MFC-101 Axe-II Axe-Edit, effects don't change in Axe-edit when engaged on MFC-101

    I recently sent my MFC-101 and Axe-Fx II to Fractal for repair. The ethernet jack got messed up. Anyway, they were able to repair it quickly and sent it back. Everything seems to be working normal. When I have Axe-edit open, it will Pause when I switch patches which seems to work fine...

    Mac and Axe-Edit: FYI need to update Axe-edit driver post Big Sur OS update

    After my upgrading to Big Sur OS for the Mac, my computer and axe-edit didn't recognize my Axe-fx Mark II. I downloaded the drive again for the axe-edit and everything seems to be working now.

    FRFR boxes

    So I have an RCF Nx-12SMA that has stopped working. I've had it for five years and got 100's and 100's of hours of playing out of it. I'm getting an estimate on fixing it but in the meantime I'm looking at the CLR. My question is does the CLR not have an XLR in? It looks like only 1/4...

    MFC Bulb/Light

    okay thank you. In the "test mode" (i.e. when the system first starts up), it's the only light that doesn't fire up. The switch still works, so it's just the light doesn't work. I'll look into getting it repaired. Thanks all!

    MFC Bulb/Light

    I'm pretty sure it must have gotten wet or something spilled on it because it looks rusty. All the other ones work and don't look rusty. It's the Multi-Delay in the picture.

    cool thanks I will check out the suggestions. As for "big difference" I guess I should clarify as I meant sound quality but now you made me also think about durability as well. Thanks all!

    Recommendation for best XLR cables

    Anyone have a brand/model of XLR cables that they can recommend? I think I have Planet Waves cables, no complaints just wondering if a higher end cable makes a big difference? Edited: Might as well ask about instrument cables as well if anyone has recommendations. Thanks!

    AustinBuddy's presets sound awesome! On a side note, there isn't a way to add a volume pedal to every preset is there? That's normally the first thing I do to all my patches. I add it as the last 'effect'. Is there an easier way?

    wah slow to turn off

    You might be right. I went back to the old settings and it's just more pronounced. Meaning when I move my pedal all the back to the start position (off) the little yellow tracking ball on the curve just bounces slightly up and down and then eventually settles down. It's like it won't just...
