    We have a First-Birthday trophy?

    Forum trophies are a cleverly-implemented engagement driver. But there’s one trophy that puzzles me. It’s called “Another trip around the sun! Happy birthday from Fractal Audio Systems!” I think it’s intended to be awarded once a year on your birthday, to serve as a reward for sticking around...

    No leveling needed!

    This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and I'm so chuffed that I just have to shout a little. I just refretted a guitar, and it doesn't need any fret leveling! At all! The guitar is a 2003 Austin AU792. It's one of those dirt-cheap gem guitars — pretty, very well made, very...

    The ultimate badly-worded hack attempt

    Wish Allow per-preset Default Scene

    It would be helpful if we could specify the Default Scene for each preset. Currently, we have two options: either 1) load every preset with the same default scene, and. 2) load every preset at the scene that was active when the preset was last saved. In order to load a preset with a unique...

    The night before Christmas...

    'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land Folks were playing and grinning with tone that was grand. AX8's and Axe II's and Axe III's were exulted, And some did play gladly on Axe-Fx Ultras. Santa flew by with stuff made by his elves, While kids slept and dreamed of a sweet...

    Bug? — Controllers > Modifiers displays incomplete information.

    Only the affected block is displayed. The name of the modifier itself is missing, as is the parameter it controls. This page is a very cool feature, though.

    In Memoriam

    Today we held the funeral for my sister-in-law Lois. She was a skilled and loving veterinarian who donated countless hours to healing and teaching at animal shelters. And she had a a wry sense of humor that caught you off guard. She let me assist while she neutered our cat Waldo Woo, who was...

    A Christmas Gift for You — FRFR amp-in-the-room

    Much has been written about FRFR vs the amp-in-the-room sound. Some would say too much. There's something special about the sound and feel you get from a real guitar cab singing merrily behind you. It's a guitarist-only thing, and it can only be experienced by the person wearing the guitar, but...

    Merry Christmas, everybody!

    Merry Christmas, if you're into it, And even if you're not. 'Cause you might as well be merry: The alternative is rot. Merry Christmas, everybody!

    NGD — It's Friday. I'm in love.

    Someone broke into my house recently. Among other things, they made off with every nice electric I own. I was left with a Peavey T-60 (with whom I have a maddening love/hate relationship) and a $30 Strat copy from a local second-hand store. While waiting for the insurance stuff to resolve, I...

    Forum compatibility with IE 11

    I'm having apparent compatibility issues between the forum software and Internet Explorer 11, and I wonder who else is experiencing this. The issue is a strange one. Sometimes everything behaves normally. Other times, when I'm entering text in a post, some characters get missed unless I type...

    Blues Traveller From Afar

    It's a cool summer night, and the windows are open. I'm listening to Blues Traveler playing the festival a mile and a half down the road. Even from this distance, I can tell they're on tonight. The crowd's loving it, too.

    Total Lunar Eclipse starting now!

    There's a total lunar eclipse tonight. As I write this, the penumbra is just beginning its advance across the face of the moon. If you can't get out to see it for yourself, you can follow it live here.

    Why Can't I Make the Axe Sound Like I Want it to Sound?

    This is for everyone who's ever struggled to get the tone they want from their Axe-Fx. Sound check was over. I'd just finished using my go-to clean preset. It was nice and all that, but I just felt something was missing from the tone. I walked off the stage and headed to the sound booth to work...

    Anyone else not getting forum notifications?

    Wish Automatic download of block definitions

    Dear Axe-Edit, When I've loaded new firmware, you tell me you need to download the block definitions, and then you wait for me to respond. How about you notify me, and then download the blocks without waiting? You know you're gonna do it anyway. :)

    Wish Preset consistency after bank backup

    This is a Fractal-Bot wish with Axe-Edit implications. I know this is the Axe-Edit wish list, but there's no wish list for Fractal-Bot, and I didn't want it to get missed for consideration. Future versions of Axe-Edit might contain bank backup features, so this could apply there as well. When I...

    Axe-Edit stuck in full-screen...sort of...

    I hit some combination of keystrokes (no idea what they were), and Axe-Edit jumped to full-screen mode. Not complete full screen—the actual edit window is still the same size—but the background of the window covers the entire screen. It's the same color as the background of the edit window. I...

    How to Flip Phase on Tremolo?

    I'm covering a song that calls for occassional one-measure bursts of pulsing triplets. I've set up a momentary footswitch for this, tied to the Bypass parameter on a tremolo that's set up for a square wave. Stomp it, and the pulsating begins, Release it, and you're back to straight-through. I've...

    Bug? v11.00 beta — Nonfunctioning A/B/C Knobs in Amp "Type" Menu

    The A, B and C knobs (controlling Drive, Master and Level) on the Amp block's "Type" page don't work in v11.00 beta. The yellow "EDITED" light comes on when any of these knobs is turned, but there is no audible or visible indication that they're performing any function. FWIW, while messing...

    I haven't received any "new post" emails since the forum server was upgraded last night—and I'm subscribed to a bunch of 'em. Anyone else notice the same thing?

    Bug? Thump (intermittent) when changing amp models

    I get an intermittent thump when changing between certain amp models. For example, when changing between Band-Commander and Super Reverb (I love that model, by the way). Sometimes it thumps, sometimes it doesn't. Steps to reproduce: Edit amp block. Select Band-Commander model. Toggle back and...

    How do I control the phaser sweep manually?

    I'm trying to manually control the sweep of the phaser. The closest I can come is when I attach the Rate parameter to my expression pedal at Extrn1. This lets me manually control the frequency of the sweep, but not the sweep itself. If I use Axe-Edit to attach the pedal, the display in the...

    Can't get dry audio over USB — bug or user error?

    I just loaded up the USB driver (v.150.0). It's working fine, except that I can't find a dry audio channel; I just get Output 1 L/R. Windows shows my Axe II as 3- Axe-FX II Audio. Reaper shows this as a two-channel device. I can get Left or Right as mono inputs in Reaper, and Left/Right as the...

    A Cautionary Tale

    An old man and his young grandson were walking across a bridge with their donkey. The bridge spanned a very wide, very deep canyon. The sides of the canyon were steep walls of sharp, jagged rock. As they started across the bridge, they met a traveler coming from the opposite direction. The...

    Pitch block and wireless don't play well together (?)

    Tonight I ran into what appears to be an incompatibility between the pitch block and my wireless unit. I plugged my Ultra into the church's FOH tonight for a little tone tweaking. I fed the Axe-FX with my wireless unit (an Audio-Technica ATW-R14 operating on UHF) so I could walk the house and...

    Stand for small rack enclosure

    What do you guys use for stands for your rack? Big racks are easy: just set 'em on the floor or on casters. But for small racks, it can be problematic to find something that will hold them safe and stable. Set it on an amp or cab? Too much overhang front and back, and there can be handles in...
