    USB Driver for Apple Silicon

    Ouch. I can read between the lines. Not expecting firmware updates or anything, and it will always sound great. I have for many years loved fractal's commitment to support, but this means a significant chunk of the unit will actually stop working for me when I'm forced to replace my geriatric...

    Thanks. No problems here, but I always read posts like this 'just in case.' I appreciate people who take the time to post stuff like this so that one day, someone will search up their problem and find something like this that just might save their gig!

    Bumping this now that lockdown is over (sorta): Here's one that went a while ago for £600 so I reckon you're getting a bargain here for £500. Certainly, Neos are £900 new, if you can find one. https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/134063/sold-atomic-clr-600 Cheers for looking.

    Can I download older versions of Axe-Edit? I'm having constant communication time out ("it's always the same.. having a nervous breakdown" etc) since installing 3.14.6. Tried re-installing the (new?) driver. I don't have the old version anymore.

    Input Buffer Circuit advice

    Just wanted to follow this up to say thanks for the advice. I tried both op-amps (installed a dip socket for quick swaps) and swapped the parallel resistor to 1 meg. Both worked like a charm, but with subtle differences. Settled on the LT1113. As a total noob to electronics, this, and the...

    Input Buffer Circuit advice

    Thanks for all your help. Two last questions, if you don’t mind: any other recommendations and (at the risk of sounding stupid) will they physically fit on the board as a straight swap? Thanks loads. Si.

    Input Buffer Circuit advice

    Cheers. I see what you mean now about it being in parallel. One thing that’s been puzzling me about the unit is why they’d want to design the circuit with such a low impedance?

    Input Buffer Circuit advice

    So, your saying replace the opamp rather than changing the resistor? Could you explain please, as simple as possible, why changing that resistor wouldn't make a huge difference? As far as I understand, that's what the pickup signal would 'see' before the opamp, so changing it to a 1meg resistor...

    Input Buffer Circuit advice

    Hi All, I have a Rocktron Rack Interface whose buffered guitar input I stopped using as the input impedance is really low (quoted in the tech specs as 470k) which was making a noticeable difference, especially to my Strat. For various boring reasons I want to start using this again, but don't...

    Long dead thread resurrection here, purely because I've now got the schematics (kindness of strangers etc) but realise other people may stumble across this on their own searches, so I've (hopefully) attached them here. A bit blurry, but hopefully useable.

    Using 25 pin D sub socket and snake to patch

    I'm thinking of splitting my rack into 2 modules, keeping the Axe-Fx in it's own section (my 'take home' section), and everything else in another rack (leave in storage between playing out). I need at least the main outs, and the in / out 2 and maybe other stuff to link up the two 'modules.'...

    Output 2 clipping when using Fx Loop

    I’ve had the same experience. Output 2 clips where the exact same output sent to out 1 doesn’t. I can only draw the conclusion that out 2 clips earlier than out 1. I had to reduce the FX loop ‘send’ (the slider on axe-edit) to -2db. That said, a -10 dB reduction seems huge. Is your output level...

    Instant Access LED use

    There’s no way to use the red LEDs in that mode. Just green and off. You can, I believe, use a ‘proxy’ block that you won’t need (I’ve used filter 4) not linked to anything. Then change the CC for this to match the message to the patchmate (or the other way around if easier). Now, in the mfc...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware "Ares" 1.00 Public Beta

    For Ac30 amps, and possible others, check tube bias. On mine, it was all the way up- it wasn't before Q11. Turning the bias down reduced gain, and reduced some of the grain and 'fizz' people have mentioned.

    Sound Issue

    Unless I’m misunderstanding you, you’ve selected USB as your input source, so it will now be waiting for an input from the computer to the AFX. You will need to switch it back to analogue input to hear the guitar. The (bad) tone you are hearing may be because the unprocessed guitar is going...

    Stage monitor level to line level conversion?

    Sorry, I thought the ‘a typical power amp to passive speakers’ made that clear :) The place where I’m playing once a month doesn’t have an iem set up.

    Anyone find that they use the same cab, regardless of amp?

    I found that I could get several amps to play nice with a single cab by adjusting the Low Frequency Resonance setting. I use different pairs of amps on an XY switch set up on my MFC and a single cab .Using the LF resonance setting in this way seemed to make a nice compromise between different...

    Bug? MFC always switching to Amp Y

    It was happening to all presets, even factory ones. I didn't change any of the CC numbers on the Axe menu either. All's well that ends well though. I can't be bothered to think about it anymore, got click tracks and other gubbins to sort out before bed. Cheers M@.

    Bug? MFC always switching to Amp Y

    Bug? MFC always switching to Amp Y

    Without changing anything on the MFC, all of a sudden while I've been playing, it appears to be automatically switching my amp block X/Yto Y (on all presets).

    LP Studio Deluxe II 60's **upgrade choice**
