Confused about AxeFx FXL with real amp question

It's not clear to me what you're trying to achieve exactly but, if I understand FX loops correctly, they introduce/insert an external device at a given point in the chain of the master device. The Axe-Fx still needs to receive a signal at its main input to pass anything through the grid for...

Axe-Fx Looper & Beatbuddy? (MIDI Sync)

The Axe-Fx II doesn't transmit MIDI clock, rather it receives. So if you can send from another device to the Axe-Fx II it should work. I sync my Axe-Fx to Ableton Live's master tempo on occasion and it seems to work fine.

Some ambient noodly tests. Only for the most curious...

Nice textures! You're essentially using the same rig as me (+ VG-99 in front of the Axe-Fx II here) just replace Lemur with Touchable Pro. I found Touchable Pro more suitable for my purposes but dabbled with Lemur and Touch OSC a fair bit. I was influenced to go this route by some of your...

What were your first amp modelers?

Roland VG-8EX - still some pretty serious modeling :)

MC-6 issues with Axe-Fx Mark II and Boss GP-10

Old thread -- but just in case anybody's still wondering -- The GP-10 internal expression pedal sends CC#11 (not changeable in the GP-10). You can certainly use it to control an external MIDI device including the Axe-Fx.

Wish Polyphonic Synth

Nice that you can move MG2 around in your Axe-Fx III's signal chain like that! Pretty much why I want an Axe-Fx III but it's a ways off yet...

There's also a new Fishman TriplePlay device/app being released soon. It's worth having a look if you play anything polyphonic with close intervals but will be a bit pricier than MG2 if you already have a computer or iOS device.

Wish Polyphonic Synth

Depends on what gear I’m using on any given day. Usually, if I were using MG2 with the Axe-Fx II I’d have it hosted in Live 10 (on a MacBook) and feed a USB DI guitar signal (input 3) into the MG2 plugin. It plays back through the Axe’s mains. That said, there are a handful of different ways to...

Apogee Interface, Logic Pro X, Axe-Fx II XL+ Trouble shooting clock sources, "out of sync", and USB

There's a bit to unpack here. Firstly, I'm not a regular Logic Pro X user but occasionally use it when required. Updating it as we speak! I'm not sure why you even need the Element 24. I mean, use whatever gear you want by all means!! But it doesn't seem to give you any benefit over using the...

Fair enough. Maybe you just need a hex pickup, a breakout box and 6x Axe-Fx units :)

Apogee Interface, Logic Pro X, Axe-Fx II XL+ Trouble shooting clock sources, "out of sync", and USB

Are the 2 devices aggregated? If so have you tried drift correction settings and adjusting the master clock device? If I understand correctly, the clock source setting you mentioned in the Axe-Fx II's I/O is only for SDPIF/AES connections to the Axe itself. i.e if you cabled the Axe up with...

Even if it were an everything-in-the-box kind of situation you'd still be triggering external synths/samples, right? FWIW, I've used MG2 live plenty and give it a big thumbs up.

How to Create the Aggregate Devices Correctly on Mac

Did you succeed in creating an aggregate device? An aggregate device allows you to combine the audio channels of multiple devices into a single device. This is useful if your Host/DAW only recognises a single interface at a time. I haven’t used QuickTime screen capture for a while. Is there an...

Looper Tempo Sync with Logic

With the Axe-Fx II (if I sync it to the tempo/clock in Live 10) using the tap tempo switch on my foot controller makes very weird things happen -- temporarily until the clock forces things back on track. I have to change CC mapping to have the Tap Tempo CC control the DAW (not the Axe). I don't...

Anyone in Seoul South Korea with an AX8 I can borrow for 2 days?

Hi Larry, I live in Seoul. Unfortunately, I am not packing an AX8. I could lend you a rack unit (Axe-Fx II XL+) if that would help but I suspect it might be more of a hassle for you as I have a highly customized/convoluted non-FAS MIDI controller setup so you'd still probably want to find a...
