    RCF NX-10 SMA reviews

    I own one RCF nx 12, sounds great. Would love to go stereo with a second one, but I was thinking of getting an nx10 instead, that way if I need to rehearse with friends I'll just get the smaller/lighter 10 inch version. Is it recommended to use a pair of 2 different size speakers? On a separate...

    FX8's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness

    You probably did not intend to be disrespectful, but that might have been perceived exactly like a patronizing comment. Lots of customers are not technicians, just guitar players. Not a bad suggestion to have simplified controls highlighted. What I would love to see, personally, is a different...

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    I don't have a 2x2 unfortunately, only a basic one which does not allow simultaneous use of axe + mfc in midi. That's ok, I can use the mfc to directly program whatever is needed to do what I plan to do. I looked at the manual section 12.1.2, it's pretty cryptic to me. Can some one give me an...

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    What's the best way to use mfc-edit with the Ultra? At the moment I can't connect the mfc + the ultra to my mac, since there is no usb to midi on the ultra. I need to use a usb to midi adapter, which means the mfc is not connected to the midi chain. Do I need to put aside the ultra, connect my...

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    Hi GtarLover, I'm not planning to get the kemper before October, need to save up before I can afford it. I was curious to know if/how people were using axe + mfx + kemper. I don't have a lot of experience with midi, hence my original post.

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    Is it possible to use MFC-Edit with the Ultra (since I can't connect the mfc and use axe-Edit at the same time on the Ultra). If I can't can I program easily Program changes directly on the MFC?

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    Thx GtarLover. I do have the manual, I've been using the mfc with my ultra with no issues for a couple of years now, but it's quite trivial when having it set to work with the Axe-fx only in axe-fx mode. No brainer really. I never tried using the mfc to control another device, hence my questions.

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    I guess I need to read the manual to understand better. So far I was relying on using the MFC in axe-fx mode, which makes everything automatic and transparent.

    Thanks for the tip. And how would you connect the kemper to send/receive midi signal? Midi thru of the axe-fx? don't have a kemper yet so I can't try.

    MFC-101 + Ultra + Kemper

    Hello, I'd like to get a Kemper and use it in conjunction with my Axe-fx Ultra and MFC-101. I plan to connect the Kemper into the fx-loop of the ultra, and use the kemper Amps with the effects from the Ultra. My question is: Can I use the MFC presets row switches (buttons 1 to 5) to...
  16. E

    Wish It would be great if each switch had a small LCD screen

    He was (half) joking. Sukh is making some really nice magnet (and glow in the dark) labels. Adding lcd screens on the MFC would reduce his small business quite a bit.

    Axe-FX III & resale value of AXFX2 after AX8 release?

    no one knows when the III will come. with technology, better to buy the best for your current needs and keep as long as you can.

    50 delay blocks and 15 presets available! (v19)

    Hi Simeon, Do you have a particular method when creating your blocks? Do you start from an existing physical pedal model that you own and try to replicate the effect? Or is it trial and error until you find something you like?

    Struggling with dynamic and punchy cleans

    He said he borrowed the Kemper. He probably does not want to buy one just for that very patch he likes. He simply wants to recreate that sound in the axe-fx. Not that he didn't get any help from many people here... But as he mentioned, he's busy and he probably doesn't have time to record...

    Buying direct off website

    I think IM Australia is selling at a very reasonable price. if you buy direct from FAS, the Axe-FX II XL is US$ 2500 + US$130 for UPS air shipping costs. total = US$ 2680. This is roughly AUS$3500 at today's exchange rate. IM Australia will sell it for AUS$ 3400. Am I missing something?

    Best way to connect the Axe to a real amp

    I noticed a similar thing. I must be doing something wrong. Ultra plugged into front input of Twin Reverb. Using this configuration for fx only. The sound is thinner than when guitar is plugged directly to the amp. I have the Axe input 1 set at 10 o'clock and the output set to max.

    What are the main reasons people keep their Ultra and don't "upgrade" to an axe-fx II/XL? (money issue, waiting for axe-fx III, etc...). I'm also curious to hear from people who: - sold their Ultra to either switch to a different brand of modeller or to go back to real amps - kept their...

    Axe FX II and Kemper Profiler (Yes, another one...please read!)

    I'd give one advice to the OP. Get both units, make sure they arrive at your doorstep at the same time. Test the 2 units side by side. Make your mind and send back the one that suits you the least. FAS has 15 days return and Kemper 45 days. Easy.

    Damn, that sounded good. Everytime I listen to your clips I wish I had an Axe-II. Still stuck with my Ultra. Maybe it's time to upgrade. Can't get this sound with my 72 Strat and the Ultra.

    Thanks for the advice Chris. Very helpful, as always.

    New products

    Are Xitone cabs, mission Gemini true FRFR also? If so, they should all sound the same and I could buy either of them and get the same sound when used with my axe-fx? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm a total noob when it comes to these things.
  39. E

    New products

    There are obviously differences between all FRFR solutions, so it must be possible to make a product that, if not better, compliments the Axe better? I might be talking non-sense, I know very little about equipment in general. I'd be curious to know what Cliff uses, apart from his Studio monitors.
