    Cable recommendation

    Hey folks, I’m looking for a quality cable to connect out1 of my FM3 to a Seymour Duncan power stage 170 placed 15 feet apart. I tried a monoprice premier (balanced) XLR to 1/4 from Amazon and the cable is producing too much hum. That was tested by disconnecting the cable from the FM3 side, and...

    Question on routing

    Hi folks, Can we make the headphones volume independent of out1? Here’s my use case - I have a mic connected to in2 of the FM3 (an interface sits in between to act as the mic pre). Guitar is on input 1. The FM3 acts as the USB interface to my computer with a pair of monitors connected to Out1...

    FM3 vs HX Stomp

    Hi Folks, To get it out of the way, this is not really a “which is better” question. As of now, I have a FM3 and an HX stomp, both within their return period. I am trying both of them through a Line 6 powercab. I’ve tried 2 ways - turning off cabinet modeling in the units and using the cab...

    New FM3 ordered - questions.

    Hi Folks, I just order a new FM3. I used to own a standard and an AX8 - both stellar units. Can’t wait to try the FM3 (my gripe with the AX8 was that it was there on the tone but not on the feel and immediacy of a real amp) I”for the AX8, the standard presets that came with the unit did not...

    Hi All, I have an AX8 with a defect that will need to be fixed by Fractal support outside of warranty. In my email conversations with fractal support, I have been told that it sounds like a chip related issue, and have been given an ESTIMATE of 80-100$ + shipping both ways to fix. Please note...

    Is the Friedman ASC-10 good for fender is cleans or edge of breakup

    In the market for an FRFR system. I’ve heard good things about the Friedman ASC-10 - especially that it was designed to be a little closer to a traditional cabinet sound than a true FRFR. I don’t play outside of my house so I’m not too worried about my presets replicating correctly on FOH etc...

    Marantz MPM-1000 microphone - any good?

    Hi folks, I’m looking for a decent vocals mic for my daughter who has developed an interest in singing. I don’t want to buy anything expensive - just something that represents her vocals well and can be put in mixes. The primary purpose is for her to get lots of practice recording vocals and me...

    How to keep your guitar playing inspired

    Ok - so this is not a link to an article in a magazine but a genuine question. I’ve been cooped up in the house for the better part of eternity with mostly a guitar and an amp and a few cases of beer. Ok maybe not all of that’s true but you get the idea. Between the family and household...

    Question about Xitone open back

    Hey folks, In my quest for tone, I’ve realized that i am drawn towards combo amps with open back cabs. I like to base my tone around a fender blues deluxe-y kind of tone. With the ax8, all I’ve tried so far are sub-optimal closed back FRFR solutions (evx zl112, lone 6 powercab and quilter 45...

    Attenuators

    I‘be been out of the amp market for quite some time. However the fender blues deluxe has caught my fancy. The only challenge is that I’ve heard it get better as you increase volume. I guess that’s with all amps but more so with this one. I want to know what’s a good attenuator/powersoak in...

    Anybody tried the Squier classic vibe

    As the title suggests, I am thinking of adding a squirt classic vibe 60s Strat to my collection. This will not be my primary guitar - I have a PRS CE-24 and a Tokai LP for that. I used to own a fender Strat and miss the single coils. The PRS offers a coil split but I don’t think it compares to...

    Inexpensive guitars

    I follow DBG and other YouTubers who post content on more inexpensive guitars (Harley bentons, Cort etc). I’m just amazed at the quality being offered for these prices. DBG does pretty good review going through the specs, doing a tear down, comparison with a major brand and I’m just blown away...

    Gamers - are you looking forward to PS5/Xbox x?

    I am an avid gamer and guitar enthusiast. Unlike the axe, the updates to console are fewer and far between. I am really looking forward to the release of the PS5. I sold my PS4 last year to try an Xbox x but was underwhelmed by the choice of games. Each platform has its own exclusives but I...

    S-gear

    I’ve spent the past few weeks on a trail of software plugins to compare them to my AX8. I’ve downloaded trial versions of overloud, helix, neuraldsp and amplitude. I mostly play cleaner to slight overdrive tones. Long story short, most plugins don’t come even close to the AX8. One standout...

    Amp in the room sound

    Hi folks, Let me preface this post by saying there is a reason I am posting this in the lounge section - which is that this topic has been done to death in the product forums. I am one of those folks that is not satisfied with my tone - but only from a perspective of needing an “amp in the...

    Question on EV ZLX12P

    Hey guys, So I am a recent owner of an AX8 which I got 1 week ago. I am liking the tones so far. I am running it through a EV ZLX12P which is where I believe I have an issue and thus the question. The only thing lacking IMO in my setup is the "immediacy" or the "forwardness" of a real amp. I...

    Need Advice : GM50 and guiat cab for Standard

    Hi All, I am returning to these forums after a hiatus of 5 years. I initially tried the Axe-FX standard with some small monitors (6 inch KRKs) and quickly lost interest - understandably no fault of the AxeFx. I've been going through posts and have realized that what I was missing is a power...

    Didn't know where to post this

    On the Axe-FX main website, if you go to Products ->Axe-FX standard and Ultra, the firmware advertised at the bottom of the page is still 10.0. Not that it makes a terrible difference, but if someone's got the time he/she might think of correcting it.

    Clearing out one argument

    Now, As much as I would like to congratulate FAS on the new product, I did not like the marketing for it. Don't mistake it for another whine thread. The only point I wish to make - and instead of posting it in a 10 different posts Im posting it here I've seen many arguments which go the...
