    [not possible] Ignore redundant PC for the MIDI block

    Would like the ability to have the Midi block NOT send a PC on a scene change if the scene it is coming from sent that same PC value. This would be a big help when interfacing with external gear.

    Midi Block: Only send PC if different from previous scene

    Hoping there might be a way I can resolve this but based on the documentation I am not optimistic. I would like the midi block to only send the PC if the scene i have just transitioned to has a different PC value then the one I came from. The device I am interfacing with unfortunately does not...

    Problem with scene selection with the bottom right most footswitch [solved]

    I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things I just missed and everyone but me was aware of due to the fact it happens on both my FM9 and Axe III with factory presets. So I am fully prepared to take the walk of shame. If I am in a preset and in Scene select mode, if I try to go to...

    U2 Mysterious Ways

    Posted these patches for FM a while back and just realized I had not posted them for the Axe III which was what they were actually made on. Mysterious ways patches Used a Korg A3 to create these two. One tone matched against a Korg A3 itself The other I try to PEQ it. It ends up brighter but...

    U2 Mysterious ways patches

    Tone Match Config Graph

    I apologize if this has already been covered somewhere. I promise I searched and looked in the manual and the wiki. The Tone Match config graph essentially shows the EQ correction (I assume) applied to the local channel. Obviously the left to right access covers the frequency. Up and down...

    Dealing with poor stage lighting

    Last couple of gigs I have had to deal with poor stage. Got to the point with lights going on and off I couldn't see the fretboard when needing to make pretty big transitions. Trying to come up with an idea to counter this. Perhaps some low intensity battery powered light I could clip to the mic...

    Keyboards with no keyboard player

    Test Request, U2 Mysterious Ways preset on FM3 (From Axe FX III)

    I have an FM3 on the way but am simply too impatient and wanted to see if this preset I made on the Axe FX III would work on the FM3. Its my understanding as long as the preset fits in the FM3 grid, you can load AXE III presets with FM3 Edit. Preset was made with AXE III firmware 15.01. Really...

    Anyone running the FM3 through a Fryette Power Station?

    I already have an Axe III, but for me that is dedicated to the "home studio/jam room" and I have no intention of unplugging everything every time I want to go jam with friends. My portable rig was a head and 1x12 but now is an HX stomp and Headrush 1x12. I had recently sold off a bunch of gear...

    Unchained patch, nailing the flanger timing

    Here is a Van Halen patch I did to make it easy to hit the flanger timing. Scene 1 is the base tone, Scene 2 starts with the flanger going down, Scene 3 with the flanger coming up. Here is a clip. Patch is on AxeChange here http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=7229

    When recording, are you guys using effects or adding effects later with plugin (or reamp with Fractal effects)?

    Some Satriani "Always with Me, Always with you"

    Only the lead is the Axe FX The backing track is something I pulled off youtube. I recorded a dry lead clip and came back and added delay and reverb in Reaper. Which is why I think the delay and reverb don't sound as warm as when I use the Axe FX delay and reverb. But over all it came...

    Having a hard time getting the Rockerverb tone out of the Citrus RV50

    Typically when I play the real amp and come back and try it on my Axe FX, I get there very quickly. Mark sound, Recto, 5150, Shiva, Plexi, JTM I can all pretty much nail the tone when I bring them up on the Axe FX But I have to say that has not been the case with the Rockerverb. I have...

    Bluesy style peace

    Idea I am messing around with. Created it to send to a friend who will attempt to come up with a vocals. Keep in mind, it was meant as a concept to add vocals so it gets very repetitive. Axe Fx for both guitars (ac30 and plexi 2) and bass. netmusicians.org - the guitar gear mp3 database

    Any tube power amps people use with Power Amp Sims on?

    I know people use the atomic monobloc and the powered atomic wedges and cabs with Power amp sims on. Anybody using any other tube power amps with power amp sims on on the Axe FX? How are you liking it?

    Eruption using slightly modified Zappa Eruption patch

    I slightly modified the Zappa eruption 2 I think it is patch. I replaced the brown sim with Plexi 2 and the cabs with some red wirez. The amp and cabs are virtually the same as my AC/DC patch with the exception I have turned boost on to get more gain. netmusicians.org - the guitar gear mp3...

    Using the pitch control for drop tunings.

    Any of you guys using the pitch control to drop your tuning rather then changing out guitars? I was screwing aroun in Axe Change and came accross Dweezil Zappa's eruption presets, and apparently he is just dropping the tuning using the pitch control. I have two guitars right now, a fender...

    Is it possible to figure out which IR you have in the user slots?

    I somehow can not find the list I made of my current setup. Is it possible to find out through axe edit exactly what IR you are using in the user slots. I suspect the answer is no but I am hoping someone figured out a way.

    Atomic power amp and power amp sims

    I know this must have been asked in the past and I apologize for asking again, but I can not find this explicitly when I try searching. Found a few posts that may have implied this was typical but just wanted to be sure. With the atomic power amps, is it typical to keep power amp sims on or...

    Axe edit interface with controls of the actual amp

    This obviously would not be practical for the hardware interface. But it would be cool if from the Axe Edit interface, if say we were bringing up the plexi or Mark IV, you would get the controls from that amp. But also have it so if the user wanted to basic axe fx interface with all the extra...

    Using an EVM12L with a Thiele for a Passive FRFR cab?

    I enjoy a bit of woodworking and was considering doing this project here and building my own cabs. http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/B ... 0Plans.pdf Thing is, I really would like to be able to use the cabinet simulation the axe offers, especially considering I have purchased a bunch of...

    How are you guys recording your axe fx?

    I have been mainly using a stand alone tascam digital 8 track for recording. I have been a fan of the simplicity of the stand alone units. I then move the recorded tracks to the pc via usb interface and edit and such in reaper. But I have been considering going to a straight PC based setup...

    FINALLY. 4CM hum problem completely solved!!!

    Finally, I think I have killed it. (I realize many of you probably figured this one out a while back) I had recently bought the ebtech hum X wall wart. I was trying it in place of the Ebtech 2 channel hum eliminator which I found had an effect on the tone. I plugged my furman into it then...

    EASY ONE. Wah off value adjustable to 1%

    Right now the off value of the wah is coded to not go any further then 5 percent in either direction. It would be cool if I had the option to set it to where the wah would not turn off until I basically pegged it 100% one way or the other. I understand that for this could introduce user error...

    What does shipping typically run on the atomic passive cabs

    Ebtech hum eliminator causes tone loss

    Man I am bumbed. I thought I had solved my hum issues. Got the ebtech hum eliminator http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ebtech-2-Ch ... 1124324.gc If you guys plan on buying it, make sure you buy it from a place like GC with a good return policy. Perhaps it is just mine, but I tested both channels...

    my love of tube amps is why I bought the Axe FX

    I know it doesn't make much sense, but check it out. (sorry for rambling) When I first started playing, tube amps didn't do a lot for me. I originally owned a Laney AOR but then went and replaced it with a solid state gray carpeted Randall. For a thick chugga chugga metal tone, it beat out the...

    atomic reactor passive cabs with SS power amp

    Picking up my power amp this weekend. Mackie 1400. I am looking at picking up a couple of the atomic passive cabs once they become available. Most people I read here are using the powered cabs, so they are using the atomic power section. Anyone here using the passive cabs with a solid state...
