    Amp models that surprised you

    Recently, for me, it's been pushing the FAS Crunch with different drives. The FAS models are overlooked WAY too often. Of course the Dyna Cabs too. Most my presets are slowly changing over to those. Funny thing is I wasn't a fan of Dyna Cabs at first.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.01 Release

    Best way to hear the "pop" is to be on a clean scene, strike a big full chord and then press the SAME scene footswitch button several times. It will "pop" with every press. I can reproduce on Factory Presets.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Release Candidate #2 (Beta #7)

    Same here but to me it sounds kinda like a feedback loop. It only displays the behavior when the signal is feeding the rotary block when you turn it on.

    Playing a real amp after a long break…

    I've got a AX3 Turbo along with a 5150III 50wt and a Revv D20 (with pedals). I mostly play the AX3 but the Revv D20 is a close second. I don't think it's a latency thing for me, it's more that "feel" thing. Who knows, latency may be involved here! ; )

    Input Clipping Thread

    What would be hilarious is if Cliff did this as an early April Fools joke. All kidding aside, I do like knowing that I was set a bit high, but even with the small clipping I was getting I still had KILLER tones and my unit sounded better than anything else I've tried. I do confess that the...

    Why Is It Always The Axe FX Getting Destroyed?

    Thanks for the catch..sheesh. The original post was corrected to "lose respect". I would never knowingly "disrespect" anyone. Everyone is entitled to their views, what's annoying is when someone tries to shame others when they clash.

    Is a power conditioner really necessary with axfx?

    I've been using this, but only because I don't want to bump to a 6U rack case. My 4U has the Axe and a Matrix. I've been using this for a few weeks and it makes me feel better, and just $70. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PGP--black-lion-audio-pg-p-portable-power-conditioner

    Nickelback on the III

    Unfortunately, Nickleback (a very good hard rock band) is suffering a similar situation that Winger dealt with in the late 80s. Beavis and Butthead had Stewart wear the Winger shirt and the "sheeple" fell in line. Reb Beach is a beast. Rod Morgenstein on Drums??? Kip is a great songwriter as...

    Leaving Axe-Edit III open?

    Very trivial issue, but curious none the less. I used to never close Axe Edit and when powering back on my 3, it would just pick back up and do its thing. For the last several weeks it doesn't want to pick up and I actually have to close the app (Windows 11) out of task manager. I know, I...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta #4 (Beta 4)

    So if Ideal page ends up as removed, where would something like say, High Treble, be accessed in Axe-Edit? Curious as to how Cliff envisions this type of change. I know it's on the Advanced page on the front panel, but I can't find it anywhere else in Axe-Edit. (Just using High Treble as an...

    Does a USB cable affect the tone?

    Not USB, but I've had some pops/clicks when using SPDIF to my Focusrite, (yes using 24/48) but it happens with my II, FM3, and now the AX3. Its either the focusrite or the cable. I just switched to USB with the AX3 and am digging the options there for recording/re-amping!

    First week with FM3 - What I hear on Youtube is just not true

    I made some money selling my Ax-II MkII and MFC to buy the FM3, which was a year ago. Sold the FM3 in literally a few hours on Reverb last week and my Ax3 is coming today! I'm glad I kept the FC-6! ; )

    I know what views are because I owned a FM3. My Axe-Fx III comes Monday or Tuesday so I'll know for sure then but its driving me crazy. I haven't read anything that says you can do it but also not seen anything that says it can't. The "defaults" don't have anything for FC-6 view 2. Its just...

    III Turbo has been shipped!

    FM9 Layout possible with FM3 + FC6?

    Great job! Is there a way to sneak the looper in? I really like having it laid out this way. I'm just an old head I guess. Long press on an effect to switch channels from a to b (or whatever) should be pretty easy. I'm going to try that as well. Thanks!

    FM9 Layout possible with FM3 + FC6?

    I'm going to check this out ASAP. I agree the FM9 Layout would be great on the FM3+FC6. FM3 Edit gets very confusing in layouts when using the FC6. I wish there was a way to just see the FM3 and FC6 at the same time on the screen and it didn't do goofy stuff on the units when editing. I need...

    Question for P&W folks...

    Thats the thing. I've been playing there for over a decade and using fractal gear. I'm one of about 6 or so in a rotation. Worship Leader has been there maybe 6 months??? Just seems like a strange decision.
  36. G

    Question for P&W folks...

    Would you refuse to play if you couldn't use your fractal gear? Worship Leader now wants to share a pedalboard into a Vox to help with "consistency" between services. Its a killer setup with DD-500, nice verbs and drives BUT... its not mine. I'm torn. There is no way they could get a better...

    [closed] LED color change on 'hold"?

    Is it possible to have the "hold" button function also be able to change the led color? I normally set up the buttons where if hold it, it will toggle b/t channels for the effect. It would be cool to have it go from yellow to red on my drives when I long press the switch to change the channel..

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

    Fractal may not make money on these updates, but they have a customer for life in me because of it. Customer retention is the ticket and I think Fractal knows this. If my Mark II ever dies, I will be buying another Fractal product. It's all because of this right here!

    Axe FX volume question for recording

  55. G

    Help me understand please....

    OK.. So I restored banks from factory using utility "Restore Factory Bank" option. When doing that.. USA solo and Euro uber were clipping big time in the output (didn't check others). They hadn't before this. So... just for OCD reasons, I reinstalled the firmware and then loaded the latest...

    Question about disabled power amp

    I can't wait to get my hands on one. Going to get an expression as well when I order!

    Quick Noob Question

    Will the AX8 allow you to save effect/amp defaults? This is not a global block question, but rather a way to tweak an effect so when you add the block, it defaults to your preferred values. Does that make sense?
  71. G

    Waitlist

    When was the first official waitlist opening day? I didn't get on until Nov 6th. Sigh.

    Is it just me ... or is anyone else starting to think we -wont- see the AX8 until Q1 2016 ?

    My guess is they are busting arse to get it shipping before end of year in order to not have egg on their faces. No company wants to retract any statements. That being said, there is poor customer relations going on here. With FAS providing popcorn, then saying "sorry... No butter" they have...

    Anyone know how many units went out with the II on its initial release?

    Lock? Shift? Knobs? Big Rollbar\Handle?

    I'm betting you are correct about the lock. Prob so knobs and buttons (other than switches) are not inadvertently nudged when performing.

    Man I've been excited about Fractal since I purchased a Charvel San Dimas from Stephen Chesney (FAS Artist) before he moved off to LA. First time I'd heard the unit (I believe it was just a standard as this was some time ago) but man oh man. BTW, Chesney is a BEAST of a player. Check him out...

    This is what I've been waiting for years to happen. My EVH 5150 III is already out on craigslist (someone actually coming out to potentially take it home on Saturday) and I will finally make the move to FAS. As a old man (42) with 5 kids I just couldn't ever pull the trigger on the II XL...
