    Getting weird popping noise with volume down

    I just opened ace-edit and volume block 1 is randomly changing channels for no reason. Changed it to volume block 3 and all is well. I posted a video of it. Makes no sense at all. I just did a FW Update to FW22 this morning wondering if it was a bug and it’s still doing it on volume 1.

    Getting weird popping noise with volume down

    UPDATE: changed to volume block 3 instead of 1 and it fixed it. See the second video of weirdness of volume block 1 randomly changing channel with nothing telling it to. This happens when I have the volume pedal heel down. Not sure what’s going on. Looking for another TRS cable to test that...

    MIDI PROBLEMS - ABLETON HELP

    Videos for folks new to fractal land?

    I’m trying to dig in but find myself getting more confused the more I use this dang thing. How do I program an expression pedal to control a volume pedal?

    Figured it out: I started messing with some preset and it became apparent that the preset I built was substantially quieter than the others. Turned up the amp levels and that seems to have fixed the problem. Hey guys. I’m new to the axefx3 so I’m probably doing something wrong. The output is...

    I was gigging a dc30 before I made the switch. I used the ultra back in the day and didn’t love it. So here we are. My understanding is that the axe-fx still doesn’t have the ef86 channel. Is it near impossible to replicate that magical sound because of the ef86? Has the ef86 channel with the...

    For sure. I'll work on the details at home but at gig if something doesn't quite translate the way I had hoped I don't worry about it.

    What to expect with IEMs?

    Sure, but that's going to be the case IEMs or not. I've found that they're the best tool to consistently get the best results from me. I can't control what's happening at FOH, but I can use the tools available to make sure they have a great quality signal to work with.

    What to expect with IEMs?

    So I play in both a power trio and at a church that has a big band. At the church, I love being able to hear how my guitar is sitting in the mix and will use reverb to change how it sits. With the trio, I use them because they're easier than messing with a wedge. Last gig with a wedge by the...

    I saw the wiki says there's no mic modeling. Does that mean I'm the cab section you get to pick your cab and that's it? I remember when I had an ultra years back I could tell it what kind of mic was on the cab. Or is it something else altogether?

    I advise against it. A while back I sold everything when I had an axe-fx ultra. I've been back at amps and pedals for 3-4 years now. Now I'm looking at an ax8. This go-round my matchless isn't going anywhere, nor are my pedals. Both have their place and my matchless will still come out for...

    bluetooth monitoring

    I'd find a rolls headphone amp with two inputs, get a tap from a wedge with everyone else in it, then run an out from your gear into the other input and mix the two. Should be easily done well under a C-note.

    Anybody like making sound clips?

    I was leaning heavily toward the kemper until I saw that not only does the ax8 have a DC30, it also has the Xotic pedals. I'd be really interested to hear them running into an edge of breakup DC30 sound. If someone has some free time and wants to get a die hard tube amp guy over to the fractal side.

  41. J

    A couple questions

    On the DC30 model is it channel one only? If there's channel 2 does it have the six-position tone wheel? Also, how much can I put in a preset? Could I get in a compressor, drive (with XY), amp, delay (XY), and reverb (XY)? Or would that be more than it could keep up with?

    So...when you guys switch guitars mid-set

I also don't use the rectos...
