    Cloud Storage

    Just wondering what, if any, cloud storage/backup service you guys are using. I was using copy.com but they are discontinuing service next month. Anyone familiar with hubic? Looks to be one of the lower priced options available with 100 GB for about $11/year or 10 TB (terabytes) for a little...

    Chris Broderick Quits Megadeth

    Just read that Chris Broderick has quit Megadeth "due to artistic and musical differences". I think that's code for "Dave Mustaine is a prick". It's a shame Mega-Dave can't keep a stable lineup. Chris seemed like a good fit for Megadeth and to me his playing was right up there with Marty...

    Vernon Reid no longer a Fractal artist?

    Just skimming through the new issue of Guitar World and was surprised to see that Vernon Reid is now using a Kemper. For some reason, I always thought he was a big Axe Fx user? With his crazy rigs and effects routings, I would think the Axe II would suit him perfectly.

    PSA: Great deal on a 2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard

    Just throwing this out there in case anyone is in the market for an LP Standard. GC is blowing out the 2013 Desert Burst finish for $1,299. I couldn't resist at that price and just finished placing my order. Gibson 2013 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar | GuitarCenter

    New Fractal product announced!

    And no, it's not a floor unit. Just read this hot off the wire from the Poughkeepsie Amp Show...

    GAS is a strange beast

    Did you ever buy something just because it was a good deal? As a 42 year old bedroom hack, I thought my GAS for guitar amps ended with an Axe II and a Kemper in my rack. But no matter how hard I try I just cannot resist the urge. About 6 months ago I bought an EVH 5153 because it was a good...

    Help nailing this tone (Suhr Badger)

    I've been trying without success to replicate the tone in the following video. To my ears, it is the perfect edge of breakup sound. Granted, it is a Badger 35 which is not modeled in the Axe, but I would think I could get in the ballpark with the Badger 30 model. Mainly using a Fender American...

    Epic NBD!

    That would be new baby day. Sorry for the completely off-topic post, but I wanted to share my excitement. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy this morning at 5:23 am. Dad is exhausted, but Mom, baby, and big brother are doing great. Maybe one day my son and Cliff's son can team up, form...

    Stereo and Mono Output

    Excuse what may be a basic question, but I've read the manual and I'm still a little confused by the different Output modes when running Output 1 to nearfield monitors (stereo) while running Output 2 to one FRFR speaker. I've always just had Output 1 L&R fed to a Mackie Big Knob, which is then...

    USB Cables - is there a difference?

    Totally off-topic, but are there different cables for USB 3.0 peripherals vs. USB 2.0? I just picked up a G-Tech 4 TB drive (USB 3.0) and it didn't come with a cable. I have a bunch of extras laying around, but they are all from USB 2.0 devices. If I use one of those, will I still get 3.0...

    EV SXA250 - Stupid Deal of the Day

    Just curious if anyone is using an EV SXA250 with their Axe Fx? The reviews I've read seem pretty positive and claim they react more like a guitar cab than other FRFR's. Musicians Friend has them as their stupid deal of the day for $399 while other places (Sam Ash, B&H) are selling them for...

    Axe II DOA After Repair Service - EDIT *Fixed*

    Grrr, just a little Friday night vent for anyone that has an ounce of sympathy. I sent my Axe II back to Fractal on July 19 because it had a faulty display. There were two vertical lines cutting through the LCD...see the pic. I lived with it for awhile but thought it was time to have it fixed...

    Need a new acoustic - Taylor 410CE vs. 414CE

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new acoustic and kind of narrowed it down to the Taylor 400 series. However, not sure if I want to go with the 410CE or the 414CE. I know the differnece comes down to body type and I'm gonna go to GC this weekend to try out both, but just wondered if...

    My hope for 6.0...

    With 6.0 right around the corner, I really hope there is an increase in the sharing of amp/tone matching/presets. Maybe AxeChange, if it's ready, will help with this. But to really take advantage of the new features coming, it helps to have a collaborative forum to exchange patches. Not...

    People selling Axe II coupons

    I don't understand how people are selling their Axe FX II wait list coupons. Seems like there's a rash for sale lately. Within the past few weeks, I've seen about 6 that actually sold on eBay...with prices ranging from $200-$350. I guess there are ways to circumvent it, but I thought there...

    Anyone using an RME Fireface 800 with the Axe II?

    More specifically...is anyone successfuly using the Fireface 800 as an aggregate device along with the Axe II? I'm thinking of getting one, but considering it's a pretty heavy piece of coin to drop ($1,700) I wanted to see what kind of luck others are having with this setup. I thought I...

    Huh? iMac no longer seeing Axe II...

    I've had my Axe II since July and everything has been running smooth. But a crazy thing happened tonight when I fired up the computer. For some reason, my iMac is no longer seeing the Axe Fx. Under Audio/MIDI setup, the Axe II is listed, but under "Clock Source" it says: Offline device and...

    ADA B200s power amp

    Someone near me is selling an ADA B200s power amp for dirt cheap. Just wondering if anyone has experience with it in their Axe Fx rig? The couple reviews I've seen were pretty favorable, claiming it to be very transparent. Thoughts?

    The big 4-0 and all I really want is the big 3.0 (not that there's anything wrong with FW 2.0, but I've bought into all the 3.0 hype and can't wait to take it for a spin). C'mon Cliff...do it for me and all the veteran's out there! For those about to rock 3.0, we salute you! :)

    MFC - Making an effect available?

    Forgive the basic question. I tried the manual but my reading comprehension sucks. My new MFC arrived and I hooked it up via Ethernet to my Axe II. I updated the firmware and set it up in Axe Fx mode. Effects that are already in an existing patch are available and either the red or green LEDs...

    Major Fail!

    I've had my Axe II since mid-July and have thoroughly enjoyed the daily eargasms it's provided me. However, last night I fired up my Axe II as I usually do, plugged in my guitar, and struck an E chord...awaiting sonic delight. What - no sound? no input lights? Nothing. What the hell...

    Noise Gate Placement

    I'm running a couple higher gain patches that could probably benefit from a noise gate in the signal chain. However, I'm not sure exactly where in the chain to place it. I'm experimenting with both before and after the amp, but was just wondering what the general consensus is? I know there's...

    LCD Display Issue

    Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but I noticed on my LCD screen there is a thin, vertical line that cuts off a very small portion of the info on the screen. It may be difficult to see in the attached iPhone pic, but if you look closely you can see it run through the "5" in the preset...

    Bought used Ultra - Faceplate is slightly different

    After regretfully selling my Ultra about a month ago, I picked up a used Ultra because I couldn't hold out any longer. I noticed the faceplate is slightly different than what I remember. This one has two hex-type screws in the middle of the faceplate...one directly to the left of the "Layout"...

    Shipping cost to Australia

    Anyone ship an Axe Fx to Australia from the US? I got an offer for my Ultra from somone in AU, but I have no idea what shipping would cost. I'm gonna go to the post office when I get a chance to get a quote, but was hoping someone here could give me an idea of what to expect.

    For those that sold your Ultra

    Just curious what your final selling price was. I just turned down an offer of $1,600 (less ebay & Paypal fees). To me, my Ultra is worth more than that...but maybe I'm just a bit biased. My magic number is $1,700 and don't really see me getting rid of it for less. But I'm not worried about...

    Recording with Axe-Fx Ultra

    Presets renumbered after save?

    Strange thing happened when I moved a preset. I wanted to move preset #50 to position #8, so I hit save on #50, turned the dial to #8, and hit enter. Everything good, right? Wrong. Now for some reason my presets start on #001 instead of #000. If I open up Axe Edit everything is one number...

    Serial or Parallel effects loop

    I am probably going to start my gear purge now that I have an Ultra, but will most likely keep at least one head. My 5150 has a serial loop while I believe my Randall RM100 is parallel (I'm at work now so I might be wrong about that). In order to use the power amp section of the head only...

    Clipping - Can someone explain this?

    This clipping is driving me nuts! Why is that whenever I try to use someone else's patch they created, I get crazy amounts of clipping even with output 1 gain turned down globally to -12?

    Best way to get DI signal along with effected signal

    Sorry if this has already been answered before, but I'm still very much in the learning phase with my Ultra. For recording purposes, I want to run a dry signal through my Great River preamp (for later reamping) along with an effected signal from the Axe FX. I have an ABY pedal I could use in...

    Best way to disable power amp sims?

    Just started using a Mesa tube power amp and cabinet with my Ultra. What's the best way to disable power amp sims? I simply turned them off in the Global setting, but I hear people say turning the Sag control to zero is the way to do it. Is there a preferred way...and what, if any, is the...

    Behringer FCB1010 setup

    Before I ask, I just want to say I did read as much as I could from the FCB1010 sticky but that seemed to be more relative to the UnO Eprom. I just ordered a stock FCB1010 to control my Ultra and was wondering how easy/difficult it is to setup. At this point, I don't really care about being...

    Power amp question

    Excited to say I finally bought an Axe-FX Ultra. It should be here this week. My first (but surely not my last) question involves using the power amp of one of my existing amps.
