AX8 for "backline provided" gigs... perffect!

I usually run my AxeII rig with a feed to my power amp and cab onstage. We were scheduled to play a huge multi-band benefit where the contract specified use of the venue's provided backline only to minimize changeover time between bands. We don't normally do "backline provided" shows, so I...

Pay More to "Jump the Line"?

Remember when the Axe II was released, you could either wait for your turn on the wait list, or pay a higher price and buy it immediately? I wonder why Fractal isn't doing that this time?

Using AxeII in cold temperatures outside. Concerns?

My band is playing outside on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. For both shows I'll be setting up in the morning in temps in the low 40s and playing mid-day with temps in the low 50s. Should I be worried about the cold? The Sunday show is a nice opportunity for us, as we're playing...

AX8 Preset Compatibility

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but I'm wondering if AxeFxII presets will be compatible with the AX8 and vice-versa? In other words, can presets developed on one device be loaded to the other? Of course, if an AxeFxII preset had features the AX8 doesn't support (e.g. dual amps), I...

Can I use Tone Match to regain the sound of my presets after FW upgrade?

I'm wondering if you can do a "live" tone match of an upgraded preset to match the sound you had with the prior FW. If you had two Axe Fxs I suppose it would be easy, but with one I'm not sure how to do it (I don't have much recording experience, although I do have Reaper). Could you do it...

FRFR Users: How much does the quality of the FOH system matter?

Over the past year I have slowly been moving toward an FRFR setup. Started using 4CM, then Axe2->Tube Amp FX Return->Trad Cab, then Axe2->Matrix SS Amp->Trad Cab, now Axe2->Matrix Amp->Matrix NL12. My cab is miced to FOH. All of these have worked well, and my rig has gotten lighter and more...

Matrix NL12 Impressions

So last week I posted a thread asking for opinions on getting a Matrix NL12 to replace the EVM 1x12 Thiele I've been using, in an effort to save some weight. Based on the favorable responses I went ahead and ordered one. I've been able to use the cab for a few days and at full band volume at...

Matrix NL12: Worthy replacement for Mesa EVM12L 1x12 Thiele?

So as a New Year's resolution I've decided to place my rig on a "diet", and see if it can lose a few pounds and still sound great. I've been very happy using the AxeII in 4CM with a Mesa Mark IIC+ for a few years now, except for the weight. Over time, I've been using more and more of the Axe...

Matrix GT1000FX or Carvin DCM1540L?

I've been running my Axe II with a Mesa Mark amp for almost two years now, and I'm happy with the sound. However, I'm considering a SS power amp because I mostly use the Axe sims at this point and I'd like something lighter, and something more consistent because some nights the Mesa sounds...

Can an FCB1010 connect to the Axe USB port?

I was setting up at a gig on Saturday night as usual when I found my FCB1010 wasn't controlling the Axe. I connect them with a simple midi cable from FCB1010 midi out to Axe midi in. Tried a spare midi cable, no help. Connected the FCB to another device and it was switching channels, so I...

Tube Power Amp Users... Power Amp Sims On or Off?

Seems a lot of guys who are running the AxeII into tube power amps or the power section of a tube head leave power amp sims on anyway, even though this amounts to running two power amps in series. I run through the power section of a Mesa Mark series amp and the amp sims in the Axe definitely...

V6.0: Congrats to Fractal on a job well done

I'm not one to get caught up in the excitement of new firmware releases. I had my Axe sounding good and doing everything I needed for live use with firmware 2.0c, so that's where I stayed. When 3, 4, and 5 came out I loaded them and the new presets, went through the early stock presets (1-40)...

Feeding FOH and Amp+Cab When Using 4CM

Currently, I'm running a typical 4CM configuration. For larger rooms, we mic the guitar cabs and also run through FOH. To eliminate the hassle of having to mic the cab each time, I'm thinking of capturing the IR of my amp's power section and cab, and then using that as a cab sim to run a feed...

Problems Loading Old (2.0) Firmware

After installing 3.0 firmware and the new bank A presets, I wanted to go back to 2.0 and do some comparisons. I have the latest version of Axe-Edit (1.0.239), and I have the AxeII connected via USB to my PC, which is running WinXP SP2. I had no problems using Axe-Edit to upgrade firmware from...

AFXII JCM800 Model

Has anyone else found that the JCM800 model is particularly bright? I have been able to get very good tone from many of the other models, but this one has me vexed. I am using preset #010 as a basis. In addition to trying it through headphones, I disabled the power amp and cab sim, and played...

Getting Buzzing Noise - Help and Suggestions Needed

I'm getting an annoying buzz/clipping/breakup sound that I haven't been able to eliminate. It occurs on dirty patches, and is easiest to identify on lower gain patches. I'd like to know if anyone else can replicate it: select preset #001 "65 Bassguy", bypass the reverb and delay, and just...
