    Going forward with optimism (glass half-full/screen half-green?)

    I'm planning to get an Axe-Fx III eventually, but in the interim I keep coming back to this quote by Reeves Gabrels in regard to the Digitech IPS33B in his Tin Machine rig. Once the updates stop, I'm ready and excited for the next chapter with the II. This is from guitarmoderne.com: "Everybody...

    Indie psych pop

    Pretty happy with this. Vox, programmed bass/drums, everything else: Axe-Fx.

    Axe-Fx at April Base

    I had the pleasure of spending a week recording at April Base in Eau Claire, WI which is owned by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). Btw, he keeps his Grammys on top of the toilet and his gold records on the wall in the downstairs bathroom. Admittedly, I was rather intimidated bringing my Axe Fx since...

    DOD Looking Glass Overdrive

    FET based OD with a low and high toggle for gain. In the included block, X is low and Y is high. This thing cuts like a beast in a pleasing way, but the real pedal has an inherent amount of noise even on low gain settings. Even without a gate, this version is much quieter.

    Chase Bliss Tonal Recall

    This pedal is very deep and I'm just capturing a couple snapshots of it here. The key parts are the EQ of the delays and the sound of the modulation, which I've been able to duplicate pretty nicely. In this block, X is a shorter delay (165ms) and Y is longer (550ms), which is the max time of the...

    Earthquaker Devices Dunes

    Just borrowed this pedal for a bit and thought it was a nice variation of a TS-type OD. I got it to match pretty spot-on so I thought I'd share. Here's a short clip through the Car Roamer. First part is just the Roamer, then with the Dunes block. I liked it best as just a subtle boost, but it...

    Earthquaker Devices Hoof Reaper and EHX Cathedral Hall

    My personal pedal collection is pretty minimal these days, but occasionally I'm able to borrow a pedal or two from friends. Recently, I was able to get my hands on the EQD Hoof Reaper and the EHX Cathedral and recreated a few specific sounds from them. I'd like to share the blocks if anyone is...

    Excited to use my AX8 on Later with Jools Holland.

    I'm playing with a singer named Haley Bonar and will be filming tomorrow. It looks like The Temptations will be playing with Jools and KT Tunstall will be on this episode as well. Very thrilled!

    Analog Mono and Deluxe Mind Guy real-time control smoother sounding than Axe-Fx?

    Sorry for the long title. I'm in the process of transferring some of my Axe-Fx 2 XL patches to my AX8 and can get everything sounding the same except for certain behaviors of these 2 delay types. On my Axe Fx 2 XL I use an expression pedal to alter the delay time and feedback percentage while...

    Indie/rock-ish radio session with Axe-Fx 2

    I play with a singer named Haley Bonar and this is a live, in-studio session we did recently in St. Paul MN. I get to do some globetrotting with this crew very soon and am excited to bring my Fractal gear along.

    Issue with preset, CPU jumps from 76 to 100% after scene change

    Hey guys, I was wondering if someone can take a look at this preset as it's driving me crazy. I'm using scenes 1-4 and while scenes 1+3 use roughly 76% CPU, scenes 2+4 will jump to 100% and turn everything into a digital fuzzy mess. Any advice is appreciated, thanks! Note, this preset uses 2...

    OD type with 2 gain stages

    Is this possible? It might make it more possible to approximate some of the more extreme fuzzes and drives out there too.

    MIDI send question

    I'm considering whether to make the move from an Axe-Fx 2XL to the AX8... I would like to incorporate 2 Eventide H9's into this new potential rig and am wondering about how midi control will work. Based on what I've read, it looks like each scene can send 1 midi PC command. A question I have...

    A kind of darkwave Xmas tune

    Axe Fx for all guitar and many non-guitar sounding things. This was for a fun college radio compilation we were a part of.

    Question about scene selection and MIDI data

    So, here's my goal and I am wondering if the MFC-101 is capable of doing this or if another controller is a better option: I've got a few fuzz pedals in midi controllable bypass loops in front of my Axe FX II XL. Depending on the preset, I'd like to have the option to engage these loops (or...

    Possible to copy scenes within a preset?

    I searched this topic and it looks like the last discussions were about 2 years ago. So, I'm wondering if there have been any developments since then. Currently, is there a way to do this (i.e. copy scene 1 to scene 7)? Thanks.

    Preset 0 defaulting to scene 2

    Hi guys- I'm having a really peculiar issue as noted above with only this one preset. I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious, but I thought all presets default to scene 1 which is what I want to do here. As an experiment, I've tried saving this preset with different numbered scenes...

    Found inspiration in a factory preset. Anyone else?

    I posted this thread in recordings about how the factory preset 'The Planets' inspired me to come up with a part for a song: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-recordings/102145-inspired-factory-preset-planets.html Just curious if anyone else ever had a factory preset 'speak to them' and...

    Inspired by factory preset 'The Planets'

    I don't know if this style is too popular here, but I'd guess you'd call it dream pop/electronic or something like that. The is from an EP we put out last week. Made a few tweaks to the factory preset and it really ended up fitting the vibe of this song nicely. I added fuzz to it for the lead...

    Axe Fx 2 FW 19b + Dedalus for iPad

    Messing with a fun and unique sounding delay app from a company called Amazing Noises. This demo is based off a preset of theirs called 'Self Oscillation'. Very conducive to soundtrack/sound design tones, which I tend to like working with. I'm running my iPad into an Alesis iO DockII, which I...

    19 New wave-y fuzzy ditty

    I'm really liking the new clip shape parameter in the drive block. Here it is on 10 with the hard fuzz. Subtle adjustments on the guitar's volume knob really change the overall tone and I tried to capture a little bit of that here.

    USB recording issue

    I'm trying to determine if this is an Axe-Fx setting or DAW setting issue. This just started happening recently, but I'm getting a chorus-y sound when connecting the Axe Fx to Garageband via usb. The USB/digi out is typically set on output 1. When I change that to 'input', the chorus-y sound...

    Expansion by contraction - First show (finally!) with Axe Fx 2 XL rig

    In a nutshell, I was completely blown away, but I'll get to that in a bit. Since 2011, I've owned and sold an Ultra and 2-2's and always reverted back to my giant pedalboard/amp setup because of habit and familiarity. On paper, the Axe Fx always seemed like exactly the gadget I was looking...

    Trigger delay setup question

    I have a Zoom MS-100BT which has a delay effect that activates as soon as any input signal is fed to it and cuts off abruptly when there is none. I'm trying to achieve this within the Axe Fx and not having much luck. I'm thinking it's a matter of setting an envelope modifier correctly on the...

    Question about scenes and PC/CC messages

    I'm just trying to iron things out with my current rig -- Axe Fx 2 XL with an Eventide H9 in the FX loop. Say I have my preset loaded with scene 1 activated, but I'd like to switch to scene 2 while simultaneously changing presets on the H9. First, is this even possible? Second, if it is...

    Another polyphonic sustainer option

    I'm not affiliated with the company, but this is very intriguing. Aescher Europa Ever since the Moog guitars hit the market I've been wanting to add that sustainer tech to my arsenal. It's a bit spendy though, roughly $740 USD. I'd like to see/hear a demo before pulling the trigger...

    Reverb volume management question

    I'm noticing on this preset I'm working on that as the long verb continues it's volume increases enough to cause clipping. Is there a good way to maintain a consistent volume as time goes on? Compressor, maybe? Here's the preset: Specifically, scene 1. I feel I've lowered the overall...

    Connecting Eventide processor to Axe Fx effects loop help

    Hi- Wondering what the best practice is for connecting an Eventide H7600 in stereo to my Axe Fx 2 XL's effects loop. From Axe Fx sends will I need 2 unbalanced TS to XLR cables to connect to Eventide ins since the Axe's effects loop sends are unbalanced? Then, will I need 2 XLR to TRS...

    Psych-y Dub-y pop?

    I used varying settings on the Swart and Vox amps for the basis of the tones. I'm also using a Pitchfactor for the arpeggiated-delay sounding bits. That particular effect is using the Quadravox setting on the PF which I'm not able to quite cop with the Axe Fx. Oh well, they complement each other...

    Anyone using Axe Fx 2 into a DAW + Plugins live?

    Being a heavy effects user, I'm quite enjoying the infinite possibilities within the Axe Fx itself. However, I'm always wanting to take things further and I've found a lot of plugins that scratch that itch. So, I'm wondering if anyone who plays live runs their Axe Fx into a daw and plugins via...

    Special project for a young man stricken with terminal cancer

    I was very fortunate to be included in this and, coincidentally, it was my first official use of the Axe Fx 2 outside of home recordings. Obviously, the focus is on Zach and his story, but it does bear a bit of special relevance to this forum. I used the Wrecker with varying levels of gain...

    Arpeggiator only happening on left side

    I'm not sure if this is due to operator error, but all the other pitch effects are audible on both the left and right sides in a stereo setup. The arpeggiator is the only one that comes out of the left only. Is this how it was intended?

    Theoretical question about FRFR and real-life gigging scenarios

    As I'm sure many of you (including me) are eagerly anticipating the new frfr monitor releases from Atomic and Matrix, it leads me to wonder what am I gaining in an actual gigging situation? For instance, let's say you incorporate one of these two units into your Axe rig and have it sounding...
