Cab IR selection workflow - help me out

New to Fractal / FM3 but I’ve dabbled with the platform in the past. IR selection is a gigantic PITA - imo. What am I doing wrong? Leon Todd has a video showing one approach using the looper but that doesn’t work for me. I need to “feel” how the whole thing responds under the fingers - if you...

Question about Send / Receive

My super-sophisticated foot control setup is a MIDI mouse, Mission EP-1 and a BOSS FS-5. Typically I arrange my patches such that I can just progress through things sequentially. I use the FS-5's 2 buttons for tap-tempo and a on/off for 1 FX or tweak per patch (sometimes). I've never...

FX Presets - where are they?

Does anyone remember back-in-the-day we had a long thread of FX presets? Thinks like "MXR Phase 90", "ADA Flanger" etc. It went on for pages and pages and had dozens of really nice FX block presets. Is that archived somewhere? Does anyone have a zipped collection of those? Thanks! BC

MFC/AXE II/Axe Edit Sync

I've seen some YT vids that make is appear that fx block changes done via the MFC can be reflected in real-time in Axe Edit. (e.g. seems to be happening in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6szjqt6r8Y&feature=youtu.be) This behavior has NOT been my experience, in fact, I get audio...

"Waiting for tuner....."

Noob question - resetting amp block

From the wiki: "Doubleclicking Bypass resets an Amp block. This will reset all parameters to default. If firmware earlier than 6 is installed, the amp type wll be set back to 59 Bassman. If firmware 6 or later is installed, the current amp type stays the same." How do you "doubleclick" using...

I'm I hearing things? Taking crazy-pills? Placebo effect?

I've only had an Axe II for a few weeks (it shipped with 10.01, I updated it to 10.02). I've been playing it extensively but I haven't been loving it. It seemed like every combo of amp/cab had some weird nasal (sometimes higher frequency) peaky thing happening. I tried using the character...

Guitarists and gear obsession

Having idle thoughts: - What is it about modern styles of music that seems to support gear obsession? - Do classical/traditional musicians obsess about cellos and violins and bows and rosin and the like? -What about other creative types. Do you hear about authors discussing how different...

"Old" effects preset files?

Back-in-the-day - there was large thread on this board where we collected FX block preset files for Axe-Edit. Things like: Clyde Wah w/auto-engage, Script Phaser, EVH flanger and the like. Did anyone archive those presets and if so can you share or point me to them? I'd *very* appreciative...

No whining - but a couple questions

I have a BOSS FS6 laying around. "Great", I think - I'll set one side to momentary for tap-tempo and the other to latching for ..whatever. I have it connected to CTRL 2 via TRS cable. Going to the I/O section, CTRL page, down to TAP TEMPO , enter to learn - great! Seems to work (at least the...

Rant - or maybe just a whine

Turns out the AxeFX is all it's cracked up to be sound-wise, but if you're reading this you're already converted. But foot control leaves much to be desired, imo. 1st - the MFC works great, by all accounts, but even if $800 (shipped) is acceptable - personally I don't want a gigantic...
