    Help With Analog ReAmping Info Please

    I am unfortunately unable to make use of the fantastic USB reamping features of the III, due to other bandmates’ preferences regarding 48k, and the need to pass working projects back and forth. So, my intention is to route the input signal out of output 4 to my interface, and reamp by routing...

    Axe-Fx IV release estimate?

    In the craziest of ways, too. I hate it when I’m buying a new phone and the salesman is trying to up sell me on a leasing plan, explaining that the the $800 phone he just sang praises for is expected to be obsolete next year. At least my guitar amp doesn’t have that problem.

    Stand in switches on expression pedal inputs?

    FC Internal Firmware 1.06

    You are exactly right! I wonder if the Axe III is taking a bit longer to boot? Maybe I’m imagining things... in any case, the FC6 is waking up exactly when the Axe III finishes it’s booting sequence, so everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for the reply. :)

    This update is amazing. Thank you Fractal team for your work on this, and Chris, for your excellent video(s). One question: since updating to FC fw 1.06, the FC6 takes about 15 seconds to boot when I power cycle the Axe III. It seemed much faster before; is this normal behavior? When...

    FC-12 versus the FC-6

    FC6 is a great form factor. For playing with a band that has consistent predictable changes in each song (I use a preset per song with scenes for different parts), it is perfect.
