    [SOLVED] Momentary effect bypass via Control Switch not working

    If I remove the "Place holder" for the hold function from "FC Edit" page it works, but now I can't use the hold function for that footswitch in other presets. The hold function was only assigned to the "Place holder", but in this preset there is no hold function in the "FC Per Preset", so I...

    [SOLVED] Momentary effect bypass via Control Switch not working

    Hello guys, I am trying to use one of the embedded switch to momentary activate one effect block (Wha2). I am using the Per Preset layout, assigned tap function of PP#4 to CS1, then I used CS1 as modifier for bypass of Wha2. No hold function on the same switch. If I select "latching" the effect...

    "Scene ignore" missing in Multiplexer from FM9-Edit

    Ok guys, my FM9 turbo just arrived. I come from the Ultra, so maybe I am missing something. The switch from the Ultra to the FM9 is like taking the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes, this thing is INSANE! :sweatsmile: Anyway, I am using the Multiplexer because I want to use only...

    Boss FV-500H ultimate mod

    Noob - Output routing issue Axe FX STD

    If you are not using the fx-loop i suggest you to use the output 1 for the FOH (so you can run stereo) and output 2 for power amp+cab. A simple routing could be: INPUT->AMP->FX-LOOP->CAB SIM->OUT (the FX-LOOP block sends your signal to the output2)

    I'm glad you like it. IMHO the CALI is a kick ass IR for mid-scooped sound and the R121 gives a sweet high end, while the RECTO1+SM57 adds some presence and spark. I'm using this combination for my main patches, also clean sounds. Thanks!!

    Thank you very much guys! For the "ice pick" I think it depends on the cab sim I used: CALI+R121 (sweet high end and scooped mids) and a RECTO1+SM57 mixed together. Try with that, I love it!

    Used Ultra/Standard prices to plummet ? I Dont think so

    Agree. Agree. And let me add: "the way G66 has advertised the new product". I know that G66 is not FA, but since they are the only distributor for EU they are rapresentative of FA for european users.

    ULTRA R.I.P.?

    Totally agree with you Dpoirier. "The Axe-fx 1 is history" was a slap in the face to old users, very evil. An official statement from Cliff would be nice because a lot of guys are disappointed and there is some kind of panic in the air.

    I repeat: a price reduction during the last months without any official explaination would have been enough. I've never seen so many disappointed guys on this forum, something was wrong.

    He will make us a little less unhappy with the new firmware :D
  62. Michele Guzzini

    Countdown 0.5...

    Agree, and if this is true the price for the new Axe-fx should be higher than the current, so the value of old units will not drop too fast and they can keep the new orders under control.
  63. Michele Guzzini

    Countdown 0.5...

    Yes, and ordering time for the new one will be 6+ months.
  64. Michele Guzzini

    Countdown 0.5...

    So probably there will be a rev.2 for both Standard and Ultra (USB, headphone jack, more cab slots etc...), maybe with a new firmware also for old users.
  65. Michele Guzzini

    Countdown 0.5...

    I see your point, and yes, Axe-fx users are "fanatics", but if they can stock units just for 1 hour it means that they have a lot of new potential buyer that can be satisfied with a productivity increase = cash for Fractal Audio. If FA wants to increase their selling, they need first to increase...
  66. Michele Guzzini

    Countdown 0.5...

    I don't think it will be the next generation Axe-fx. They are still selling more units than they can stock, so why make a new one now? BTW i guess is a new piece of hardware, even if I hope it's firmware 11 with Axe-Edit 1.0.

    'Global' Option for All FX Blocks

    [HELP PLEASE] Broken SPDIF connector

    My Ultra was originally bought from FAS USA, not from G66. That's why G66 won't offer support. I live in Italy so I can't ship it to USA. There's nothing wrong with their behavior, but sincerely I expected more.
  75. Michele Guzzini

    [HELP PLEASE] Broken SPDIF connector

    They said they can't offer support for units that they didn't sell, even if I pay for the repair. That's what I could expect from whatever company, but for sure it's not a very nice behavior for FA&G66 that has, for what customers say, a great support. Nerver mind, i will repair it by myself.
  76. Michele Guzzini

    [HELP PLEASE] Broken SPDIF connector

    I disassembled the mainboard (:geek), and I figured out that the problem should be the trace on the PCB between the central contact and an SMD resistor (R164), as also the support suggested me.

    2 small problems and a question

    The spillover works if you have the delay/reverb blocks in the preset you want to switch to. Check Yek's how to Note that you can have only one setting for each delay/reverb block, because it will spill with the "destination" preset settings.
  78. Michele Guzzini

    [HELP PLEASE] Broken SPDIF connector

    I was talking about the AES->SPDIF conversion, not about the broken RCA connector. Yes i looked inside, but I need to take off the motherboard to reach the soldering point. I don't know if it's just bended out or if i need to replace the connector, i will ask for brand name and model to USA...
  79. Michele Guzzini

    [HELP PLEASE] Broken SPDIF connector

    I've read that the problem is not only the impedance. AES and SPDIF are two different protocols, very similar, but not 100%. So it's not sure that if you use the adapted AES->SPDIF signal it works. It depends on your hardware. I have to find the same RCA connector and repair it by myself :? :? :?
