    5150 Presence Knob

    I've been thinking for some years now that the FAS modelers would benefit from having a bit of HW memory dedicated to 'patch notes' that would appear on the front panel display and on AxeEdit. For the 5150 model, a pop-up note about the presence control would address the desires of both camps...

    Can Axe-FX III headphone output be set to monitor O/Ps 2, 3 or 4?

    It appears that the headphone output level only responds to Output Block 1. Is it possible to use the headphone to monitor any of the other outputs? I ask because I'm using Out 1 to drive my Atomic CLR with Cooper Carter's 'Amp In The Room' filters instead of a cab block and I'm using Out 2 with...

    What doesn't the Axe Fx do effect wise

    This reminds me of "The Nothing Box" from this guy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29JPnJSmDs0 go to the 4:00 minute mark if you want to jump to the nothing box, but I recommend watching from the beginning!:p

    What doesn't the Axe Fx do effect wise

    The only pedal I’ve felt compelled to add to my live rig along with my Axe fx III is an Electro Harmonix Ravish Sitar. As already pointed out by others, external effects play well with Fractal gear. This pedal sounds best when used with an electric 12 string guitar.

    Gibson LP Special, etc with wrap around bridge?

    I bought a Gibson Les Paul Special (TV Yellow) last month and love this guitar (especially the P90's) but intonation is a concern with the wrap-around tailpiece. If I tune the guitar using my Axe FX tuner, even open (cowboy) chords sound a bit odd and it gets worse up the neck. If I tune it by...

    How do I keep the Axe-FX3 from routing my computer audio feed thru it?

    Thanks Sean.e, I see it under I/O >> USB/AES. All my levels are set to -40dB. This would explain why the computer audio was so low. I appreciate the help!

    How do I keep the Axe-FX3 from routing my computer audio feed thru it?

    Thanks Tobafett, this worked fine! I was able to free computer audio from both interfaces.

    FC-6/12 question

    I see myself going for the FC6. When I had the MFC101 with my AF2, I ended up using just 3 or 4 switches. Typically my gig presets had 3 scenes plus I used preset up/down (bank size =1). Oh yeah, and the tuner on/off. The last thing I want to do is go ‘tap dancing’ while playing!

    seriously considering ditching FRFR speaker

    Troubleshooting Tip #1: cut low end either in front of amp, at amp or in cab. Troubleshooting tip #2: Don’t ditch FRFR until you’ve had a chance to try an Atomic CLR. If it still sounds muddy with the CLR then it’s not the FRFR.

    Fitting 2 x Atomic CLRs under a 93cm wide table?

    So...93 cm is the space between the legs? If so, it should fit. On the MK II the feet extend only 1cm. To my eye, the actual cab width is a tad under 45cm so by adding in the feet you’re under 93cm. Go for it!
  72. OddManOut

    Problem with other guitarist and combo amp : (

    You also have the option of splitting your signal out of the AxeFx such that an FX only signal goes to the combo front end and a full amp sim goes to the PA. As a bonus you can use your small pedal board inline with the combo if you like.
