Definitive Guide to Using Speaker IR's?

I am super late to the party on this. And have some questions. :) I've bought several of the fractal cab packs and have used some of the cabs with my AFX II+. I do own Axe-Edit, MFC-Edit and Cab Lab 3. But it's been a bit confusing, since there are multiple mics, micings and even mixes, etc for...

Question for Cliff....

I always loved the sound of the old TC 2290. I see TC is coming out with a version of this unit in desktop form that can be integrated into your DAW as a plugin. How well do you feel the AFX's similar time based effects measure up to this modern version of the 2290? Don't get me wrong, the AFX...

Finally Gonna Do it.....

I've been hanging onto my real amps for quite awhile. I think its mainly been a sentimental thing. The vision of when I was younger having the two Marshall JCM 800 stacks behind me. The thinking of, "you can't be a REAL guitar player without REAL amps", blah, blah, blah.... Well this morning I...

Help Requested: New AFX XL + and digital distortion in the sound

Hi All, Hoping someone can help me with my XL+ problem. It sounds like digital distortion to me. It really stands out when you play single notes on the G string, especially past the 5th fret. I just bought this XL+ new from Fractal. What Ive tried while playing both single coil guitars...

Noise reduction

Does anyone feel the need to use a noise reduction pedal (like a Decimater) in front of the AFX? Depending on the power at the places I'm playing at, Ive experienced buzz and hum from stock Strat or even Les Paul pickups. I've moved to EMG's now and don't currently have any problems, but I was...

MFC-101 / Mission Engineering Pedal Setup

I'm sure this has been addressed a million times, and I have seen a few videos explaining the setup, but how exactly do you setup a Mission SP-1 as a volume/wah? Also I'd like to find out how to use the EP-1 as controller for other parameters, such as delay times or intensity, rotary stuff and...

Loading IR's in a AFX 2 mk II, Question...

I'm new to loading third party IR's in my mk II. what's the trick to loading a bunch at once? I can do one at a time, but haven't figured out how load multiples at once. I seen a video for the XL plus and it was drag and drop, but that doesn't seem to work for the mk II. Maybe I missed a step...

New AXS show, Breaking Band Another AFX spotted

I think the bands name is Santa Cruz (from Sweden). Sebastian Bach was the celebrity on this episode. It's getting to the point where it's rare "not" to see Fractal gear in a musicians rack anymore. Lol Sometimes when I see an amp still on stage like with these guys, with an Axe Fx, I wonder if...

How many AFX 2 units are being made every day?

A half dozen? Cliff why is there no waiting list like used in the past??? That was part of the fun in owning an AFX. The big count down until yours was shipped. What's the reasoning? Thanks, Chris

So what happened with the MFC-101?

I remember signing up for the waiting list when the MFC-101 was first announced and was initially introduced as a concept drawing. The price of the unit was supposed to be around $495. It seems like there was also a discount being offered if you were on the waiting list. I guess I never got...

Change noise gate to ISP Decimator G-String Type noise suppression.

Not sure if this has been suggested already, but it would be an awesome upgrade to the noise suppression feature of the AFX! :-) I have one I use with my Marshall JVM 410H using the 4 cable method. It's one of those "got to have it" type devices. Especially for high gain sounds. It's an...
