    Guthrie's Orange Jam

    Very cool. Annoyingly good playing :) Any chance of sharing those patches? I've never been able to get a good live patch together with the standard cabs - would love to hear how those patches translate to live FRFR at volume.

    First gig coming up and freaking out

    The more you can set sounds at gig volume the better. As others have stated, less top, less bottom, more mid range, less drive than you think is what you probably need.

    Ownhammer IR's - Mic emulation or not?

    As Tone Seeker said, turn off the mics in the Axe, unless you find a combination that you like that sounds great. If it sounds good then go with it.

    Axe Edit problems and Windows 7 64 bit

    I've read about a lot of issues with that cable and WIndows 7. I grabbed one that looks the same off eBay (it's the same one they sell at Jaycar) and it works perfectly under Win 7 X64. Same as the one here: USB MIDI Cable Adaptor Keyboard to PC for XP/Vista/MAC | eBay

    Axe-fx 2 for the aussies!!!

    I'm on the waiting list for the II but what's the deal with the MFC? Is the wait list just as long? Having the tuner at my feet would be a lot nicer than looking back at my Ultra.

    QSC K10 and K12 issue.... read if you are considering these

    It happened to me once when I didn't use my Planet Waves jack cable. My PW cable fits in snugly compared to other cables. I thought that my K10 was blowing up when it happened - very ugly crackling.

    Axe-FX Ultra --> GCP via 5pin midi.

    Does anyone have a better power supply replacement for the GCP? The standard barrel is really loose when plugged into the AxeFx and I have issues with it falling out.

    Axe-fx 2 for the aussies!!!

    I've had the same thing with my Ultra quite a few times now. The most common first reaction from a FOH engineer is "what's that unit you're using - sounds good!". This is usually after they were nervous that I was about to output something that sounded like a cat fighting.

    I would like to paypal 25 dollars to the person who...(lead patch help)

    The one suggestion that I would make is to reduce level of the clean and crunch patches at the mixer (end of the chain) and thus make your lead tone "louder" in comparison. I went through the same thing with my Ultra until I realised that I had other patches too loud, not my lead patch too...

    Axe-fx 2 for the aussies!!!

    I'm kinda happy in a way having only joined the list at the start of this year. By the time I get a II, it should be a lot more stable and a lot more good programming info will be out there. My Ultra will see me through the hard times.......

    Finding a teacher is definitely a good idea. Another good idea is to set a goal before you pick your guitar up to practice. "At the end of this 30/60/90/whatever, I will be able to play solo x/ scale y at 100bpm/that cool sounding chord progression/whatever. Having a goal will make you focus...

    Axe II or Ultra?

    I just got an Ultra second hand in December as I figured that I'd see if I like the AxeFx and if so, I'd go on the waiting list and get a II after 6 months or so of using the Ultra to get acquainted with the whole deal. Loiving the Ultra, having gigged with it non stop once I'd programmed up...

    Bug? Powering AxeFX II off/on kills mouse & keyboard on PC

    Mine has issues where mouse & keyboard (on same wireless receiver) die when I plug in the Axe-Fx but then again they sometimes die when I plug in other usb devices. It is therefore definitely the laptop (Lenovo X200) in my case and not the Axe-Fx. I would think that it will be your usb setup...

    Cab Emulation

    Yeah - the cab is massively important. I'm really liking the Ownhammers right now but that is just because I haven't had the time to really play with the Redwirez and with mixing IRs. The question I am still trying to work out is - what constitutes the best sound for fitting in the mix. I...

    Smilefan says "Goodbye"!!

    Congrats and thanks a lot for the effort you put in. I'm still months away from floating to the top of the Aussie list for a II but I have learnt lot about getting tones in general, let alone tones on the Axe. The organization that had procured your services is very lucky.

    "I Am A Man" - Leroy Miller

    Rock! Very cool. Relieved to hear some great rock on here that isn't metal/djent. When you say that you have the PEQ setup for the cab trick, are you talking blocking out lows and highs?

    And I love Ownhammer even more!

    I grabbed the Redwirez library straight away when I got my Ultra in December. I found some great cabs and went with them until a few weeks back when I decided to get the Ownhammer library for a comparison. I found a great IR I like there (OwnHammer_112_Thiele_12L_Mix-n-Match_2) with my...

    new quieter fan

    Nannup - Southern WA. Inland from Margaret River. I was getting a bit worried about the Ultra in the heat but it didn't have any probs. It was so hot that my guitar strings were radiating heat off in waves you could feel clearly.

    new quieter fan

    Having just done an outdoor gig, where the temperature at soundcheck was 43 degrees Celcius (about 109 F), I will happily put up with a bit of fan noise at home if the fan helps keep the heat down!

    Does It Bother Anyone Else?

    I haven't had to contact Fractal and hope I never have to. The more time that they get on R&D and churning out code, the better. Oh, and getting that stinkin' list down so that I'm nearer the top! :) I'd much rather be learning from people who use the devices "in the wild" as it were.

    ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

    I agree with you Steadystate and I've only had my Ultra for a bit over a month and done a dozen gigs with it. It's too tough reading about people having so much fun. Putting myself on the Oz list is almost worse because I have now officially acknowledged that I have a 6 month + wait ahead of me....

    Any possibility to try out the Axe-Fx Ultra in Canada, before buying it?

    Redwirez is at Red Wire Impulse Responses | High quality guitar speaker cabinet IRs for use with convolution plugins You have 10 user cab slots in the Ultra into which you can put your choice of irs. You use Axe Manage (part of Axe Edit) to do this.

    Any possibility to try out the Axe-Fx Ultra in Canada, before buying it?

    I would say that getting some good cab irs makes a MASSIVE difference. I love my brownface -> redwirez Jensen P12R miked with Royer 121, capedge 1". No lack of bottom and I use a Strat with this live.

    Interstate show - what should I do?

    Not sure what you mean by powered/non powered desk? Are you talking about phantom power being sent to the AxeFx via the XLR connection you make? There is a ground lift switch on the back of the Axe that handles that if you can't turn phantom off for your line at the desk.

    Ground Control Pro - Help Needed!

    Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) by Big & Rich (Axe FX Ultra)

    Great job. I don't know the tune but I'm guessing that a bit less shred in the solo might have been more "country". I hope that you put some more up! Much better hearing sounds in the context of songs.

    Moving Lowpass Filter
