    I can't access their Facebook page right now cause Facebook is down, but this morning Morningstar announced an update for the MC6/MC8 that will allow it to read scene/present data from the Axe FX III. Not sure if this applies to the FM3 too but could be worth checking out when Facebook comes...

    Is the EV-1 not 4.1" wide? https://shop.fractalaudio.com/ev-1-expression-volume-pedal/. The Mission expression pedals are 4" wide. Ah that detail totally slipped by me. Then there should be no issue mounting an EV-1 and two mission pedals to a Duo34.

    Post Your FC-12 and FC-6 Pedalboards Here

    Hey man. Usable space is 83cm. With my three mission pedals, its a tight fit. If I wasn't using EBS flat stereo cables, I wouldn't have been able to fit everything onto the board: The EV1 is only .1 of an inch wider(I think), so you should be okay if you use similar cables.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 1.19 Public Beta

    It's definitely an improvement over 1.18, but depending on the type of riff I'm trying to loop I'm still hearing a fade in which really breaks the flow of the loop. I have no issues creating loops on 1.14 but then I lose the threshold parameter :(

    Patchbay question

    You can buy solderless XLR jacks, for example: https://blackbirdpedalboards.com/product/neutrik-solderless-xlr-jack/. With something like this, it is as simple as putting in a small patch cable in between the panel and your Axe FX.

    I would love to see the looper threshold parameter from the Axe FX II added to the Axe FX III. Using this parameter I can always record a perfect loop first time, and it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my Axe FX II.
