    AFIII "Graphite & Glitter" Project from chrisAngela now released:-)

    Thanks for your reply Chris. Thanks for taking the time to explain your method of writing. I sort of thought your music was developed based off a groove to start, but I'm amazed at how seamlessly you can transition from one idea to another during your pieces when you didn't have that next...

    The CNFB Method

    Congratulations Cliff! Reading your post was like watching Paul McCartney write "GET BACK".... I could almost smell the ozone from the synapse's firing (your's, obviously not mine). I can't say I didn't understand ANYTHING you wrote, but I sure would hate to have to explain it to anyone.

    Direct Boxes?

    Hi Guys, recently put together a small home recording setup. I would like to purchase a direct box to record a dry track along with the Axefx tracks for re-amping ( I still only have an Ultra. I shouldn't say only, it's still a beast to me!). I am aware of the Countryman direct box and will...

    AFIII Distant Hills - Me playing Ralph Towner's jazz piece

    Wow, Henry, that was excellent!! Really enjoyed your playing on this one and your band. I'm a huge fan of Ralph Towner, Oregon, and the whole ECM slice of the Jazz world. You guys did a great version. I also watched your vid doing "East of the Sun". That was great too! Love that tune. Loved your...

    running fractal axe fx ultra into guitar amp

    shot in the dark. If I remember right I used to have a Mesa amp (Mark III) and I think I ran into something similar. I think there needs to be a plug in the send of the fx loop in order for the receive jack to receive signal. I think there is some internal switching going on (active fx loop?)...

    AFIII Tribute to Eddie Van Halen (w/ free patch)

    Man, I don't even own an AxeFx III but just had to grab that preset in case lady luck ever shines on me and I do own one someday. Great Job! Especially the playing and the effects! I may have to dl axe edit so that I can open the preset and have a look at how you have things dialed in. I'm still...

    Cherry or hickory?

    Wow, and I thought the anality (or is it analizing?) of guitar tone could never be matched, but I see BBQ woods are a very close 2nd! Hmmm..... Mr. Cliff, I think you should develop a parallel business and introduce the world's first "Modeling BBQ" cooker. Different smokewood blocks, seasoning...

    AFIII Original: Self Is'lation Blues

    Enjoyed it! Really liked the guitar tone! Fit perfectly with the sparce piano and vocal. Great job!

    RIP LYLE MAYS

    Wow! That's a total gut-punch... Like many have said, I discovered Lyle 's playing and composing with the PMG back in the 70's. As much as I revered and enjoyed Pat's playing, Lyle's comping and soloing was just as compelling and exciting. He had a way of using block chords to harmonically and...

    Axe-Fx Ultra not connecting to Axe-Edit

    Just saw your post and thought I'd chime in. I'm not at my Ultra at the moment but I think your problem might lie with the ID # match. As I remember the last update version changed the ID for the Ultra. Try to search the ultra forum for the correct ID # and that may solve the problem. However if...

    Jazzy-ish tones from AX8

    Holy Crap! I'm impressed. You played the piano part too? (on knees bowing...) Very nice. Just totally dug the whole overall vibe and restraint of your music. Wow, sort of surprised that you used the Fender DRRI for the clean sound. Not sure why I say that just wouldn't have guessed. Seemed to...

    Jazzy-ish tones from AX8

    Wow Fourtet! That was wonderful!!!!!! Love the sounds you are getting. I only have an older Ultra unit so I won't ask you for presets but you caused me to log on just to tell you how much I enjoyed your music! Great job. That's one of the best things about the complete line of Fractal...

    Shadows Presets - Quantum 6

    Thank you for sharing StratnVox! Unfortunately I only have an Ultra Ax-fx so I can't use the presets directly. I hope to get an Axe II or later model someday so thought I'd snag these while I can to save for later. I may DL a current version of Axe-edit just to view the patches and try to...

    I have Lincoln Brewster's Axe Fx Tones from Real Life

    Hi Josh, Just had a few minutes to look over the presets in my Ultra tonight. Thanks again for sending!! Unfortunately, at first blush they don't seem to work that well for me. I think it's the case of different guitar, speakers, in a room, vs a stage, not to mention fingers and style of...

    Pat Martino Jazz Tone

    Thank you! Yes I cannot open Axe II presets with Ultra, but I do have a version of Axe Edit on another computer that I open Axe II presets with and then just study the layout, settings, etc. to try to translate to my Ultra. Sometimes it doesn't translate at all, and sometimes I can get pretty...

    Pat Martino Jazz Tone

    Wow!! That really sounds great and great playing too!! I've always loved the older, traditional jazz sound and the more modern twists on it like yours. I love the bell like fullness you're getting and how even it is from low to high. I' have the Axe Ultra but find I can learn a lot from...

    Suggestions to minimize string squeaky while recording

    For years I've struggled with the sticky string syndrome and always looked for some external lubrication product to help. I've used finger ease, fast fret,etc., however it only worked so much. Strings still would feel a little sticky or dry on the finger tips. Then one day I was reading an...

    Need help getting a good loud clean sound on my Ultra + tube power amp. Please help!

    This may or not be of use because I run quite a bit different rig, but I've been running my Axe into a Riviera combo amp. I find I like the added girth or body I guess, that having the power amp sim "on" on the Axe and going directly into the Receive input on the effects loop, whereby bypassing...

    Axe2 Preset building

    Oh hell to the yeah you're making a difference Clarky! I've been reading this thread from cover to cover and I don't even have an Axe II! Just been trying to glean information and transcribe the patches as best I can to my Ultra for a learning exercise. Only have a mod pedal and a latching pedal...

    Compression at the end of the signal chain

    Hi Jens, Yes I do feel a slight drop in dynamics when using the compressor but not much, not to the point that it feels squishy. As all of us axe users have been discovering (from the many threads), a preset that sounds great set up at a low volume can sound like crap when you take it to the...

    Compression at the end of the signal chain

    Jens and Jon, Compressors are a fickle Mistress! I'm a mere novice with compressors so most of my post dealt with your broader question of "how do you guys use comps?". Then after reading a couple posts saying "compressors and jazz don't mix" I thought I'd stand up for the "hmm.. comps are...

    Compression at the end of the signal chain

    Hi Jens, I really haven't messed with the compressors too much in the Ultra yet mainly due to there's so MUCH other stuff to wrap my brain around that I just haven't gotten around to them yet. I may not be able to offer any direct axe settings advice but maybe can pass on some insight about...

    Help please, loading v.11.0 Sysex ID problem

    Update: I've been reading forum waiting for more info on the above discussion and was reading about guys having luck uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling generic drivers when using the MIDI SPORT UNO. Thought I'd try that as the next step, BUT before doing that I thought I'll try installing...

    Help please, loading v.11.0 Sysex ID problem

    Thanks LMO and Shasha. LMO - Ok. I think I understand your explanation, however if I am currently on V10.01 on the Ultra, if I manually change the Sysex ID from the current: 125 to 372 and the Axe Edit 9.191 to Sysex ID 00-01-74 will this allow communication if the Ultra is still on V10.01...

    Help please, loading v.11.0 Sysex ID problem

    Thanks Shasha for the fast reply! I looked on my Ultra in the i/o menu under "midi" and the sysex ID is: 125. Hmmm... Maybe you're on to something. I guess I assumed that the sysex ID on the Ultra should be 00-00-7d - same as what Axe Edit is set to for firmware ver 10.01 or lower. Maybe that...

    Help please, loading v.11.0 Sysex ID problem

    Hi Guys, I've had my Ultra for almost a year now. Love it!! Even though it does make me feel like a newbie almost everyday. I'm a long time lurker but I don't post much since I believe us young'un's (to the axefx) should shut up and let the adults talk, maybe some smarts will rub off. Little...

    Having problem figuring out latching pedal

    Thanks again everyone for helping me with the pedal bypass problem. I'm just getting some time to get back with the axe fx tonight so I'll try your suggestion Dutch to short across a patch cord but I'm pretty sure that will work (act like as switch) since I've been able to get the Fender REV/VIB...

    Having problem figuring out latching pedal

    Hi Guys, Thanks godprobe and Dutch for all your help and suggestions. I think I've figured out what was wrong. I worked through all your suggestions and nothing worked. Made sure my latching switch pedal and TS mono guitar cable worked by plugging into my Lexicon delay unit and I could switch...

    Having problem figuring out latching pedal

    Hi Guys, First of all let me thank you all for your efforts to make this forum so great. I can't even imagine having the axe fx if this forum didn't exist. In fact, the internet and mfgr forums probably allow a product like this to even be viable. If not for this forum, can you imagine the...
