Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi, During the last few months at some of my gigs my equipment seems to lose 40 per cent output volume before returning to full power and it does this whilst I'm mid song or solo. Most frustrating. It does not happen at every gig, it's random and I'm convinced that it's down to the wiring...

Patch Volume Irregular

Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to help me? At last night's gig when changing from a rock rhythm channel to my lead sound using an MFC -101 I encountered a problem. Sometimes - but not always - when the lead patch was engaged it was way too loud (sounds like 50% too loud) and I...

How to...?

Hi. One of the great features of the Axe FX that I use regularly are volume blocks placed in the signal chain (controlled by an expression pedal) so that I can seamlessly crossfade between an acoustic sounding patch and a louder, distorted patch. However, I'm just curious....does anyone...

4CM Question

Hi, I'm trying to set up my Axe FX II using the 4CM in conjunction with a Hughes & Kettner Statesman Head (a 50W amp with a switchable parallel/serial effects loop) and a Hughes & Kettner 4x12 cab. Using the 4CM anything that I place before the FX Loop block in the signal chain I can hear...

Looking for a particular thread….

Hi, Can anyone help with this I wonder? Recently (within the last 10 days) I was reading a thread where one forum member was describing how he used a PEQ block after the cab in a signal chain to improve the patch sound when played at gig volume. When playing at home he bypassed the PEQ...

Tone match attempts: UFO (Rock Bottom) & Bryan Adams (Summer of '69)

Hi, I've had some success tone matching my guitar with UFO's 'Rock Bottom' and Bryan Adams' 'Summer of '69'. In both cases I used the USB in from my Mac and used extracts from iTunes. On my system both patches sound pretty close....and in the event that either may work for you, here are the...

W@rped Vinyl

Hi I know precious little about recording but I was having so much fun tonight with the Axe II 'W@rped Vinyl' patch that I set the open mic on my laptop to 'Rec' and sat the laptop in front of the speaker. I just love the way this patch ages the sound, reminds me of charming parlour music...

Brian May patch for Axe II anyone?

Hi, Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had any success with (or is working on) a Brian May sounding patch for the Axe II? I have a good BM patch that I use with my Ultra but as the systems are not compatible I'm struggling to replicate it on the II and I guess I'll need to start from...

MFC with Axe II & Ultra

Hi, Can't find the answer to a question that I thought might have been asked already, so I'll have to start a new thread. Context: My current rig has a MFC and an Ultra paired together. However, one day I will replace the Ultra with my Axe II and I'm currently in the process of copying...

Hi, I wondered if anyone can help me with a few relatively simple set-up questions regarding using an Atomic 50/50 with passive cabs. It's the Impedence (Ohm) selector switch settings that I need help with. I have e-mailed Atomic amps twice in the last week but they are not responding, so I...

Atomic Amps - XLR connection

Hi, I use an Ultra, Atomic powered cab and an MFC-101 and have played about 50 gigs so far without any trouble whatsoever. However there have been two exceptions; the second exception being at last night's gig - hence this post today. The random problem seems to happen when I select a...

Foot pedal volume control settings

Hi. I can't seem to find this topic in the Wikki or previous threads although I can't believe this question hasn't been asked before. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? Ok, my question... On page 26 of the MCF-101 foot controller handbook it says that 'Pedal #1 is mapped by...

Albert Collins & Chuck Berry patch requests

Hi! I just wondered if anyone has managed to create patches in the style of either Albert King or Chuck Berry? Failing that, any advice for creating tones in the style of either artist would be great. Thanks in anticipation. Paul

Wish: Visible patch names whilst scrolling up and down banks.

Played my first gig with the Axe and MFC last night and this wish is born of that experience. Assuming that this can't already be done (maybe it can, I'm still learning) whilst scrolling up or down though banks could patch names be visible instead of the bank number? Thanks.

Assigning an expression pedal to a crossover patch using MFC-101

Hi! Following the advice that I found in one of the threads on this forum, I successfully created a crossover patch on the Axe-Fx (whilst not connected to the MFC-101) where I can fade from a clean acoustic sound through to a heavier distorted sound. The crossfade is achieved by an expression...

Toggle between patches on different banks - Possible on MFC-101?
