    FC-12 randomly freezes

    Sounds like it's a possibility I'll check that out. I'm not sure if I should open it, but I guess I could just open it and look, I don't think that me opening it will cause any issues. Thanks for the suggestions I'll keep on it :cool:

    FC-12 randomly freezes

    I tried two different cords and it still happened. I noticed that it's the first 3 switches bottom right. I checked the MLM switch combo and it's set to disabled. I think I understand that to be the proper setting to use those switches as normal, or I might have it backwards just triyng to find...

    Ya it's weird that it's just like the bug that was fixed, oh well I'll try a new cord tomorrow and go from there. I'm sure it will get worked out one way or another. Thanks

    Anyone having issues with the FC-12 randomly not working? It freezes and then you can see the button assignments but nothing works when you press the buttons on the FC. It will work again after I shut off the Axe 3 and restart then after a little while it freezes again. The front panel works...

    Need a Quiet and Clean A/B-Amp Switcher

    Hi all, I'm looking for a new A/B switch to replace my Whirlwind Selector A/B box . I'm switching between an Axe FX II and a BE-100 / FX8. The Whirlwind seems to suck tone and the power is noisy. It switches just fine but the loss of tone and noise is too much for me. I've tried a few of the...

    Strats - I love and hate 'em

    I would love to have one ( I'm a Les Paul Guy now ) but my picking hand turns the volume down while i'm playing like the posts above.
  23. JIMMY G

    Not understanding FX8 or maybe it just doesnt do this?

    I'm not in front of my computer, but I think you can just go into config ( in FX-8 Edit )and assign the switches to what effects you want ( right click and pick assignment )and assign the other four to the preset you want. I think you can only use presets from the current bank thou.

    In the Spirit of NAMM Anouncements (FAS reactive load box)

    Newbie question - scenes

    In FX8 edit, go to the footswitch tab and assign 1-4 to the appropriate scene. You'll have to decide which effects you want as you only get four then. Thats the only way I know but maybe someone knows a better way. I dont think you can do what your asking.

    4-Cables Method Hi-Gain Question

    I'm using my Axe-Fx set-up in the 4 cable method into a 100w head and when I'm using the high gain channel I get lots of noise. It's been quite a few years since I had a real amp, so would a noise gate in front of the amp input stop the noise or would it go in the effects loop or both? I tried...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 2.02 Firmware Release

    Fractal said: Okay, I just spent the last five hours coding it so the user can select 2.01 or 2.02 for *each" amp model (rather than a global setting). This way you can choose which version you like best. Dumb question do I need to reinstall the new 2.02 or is that coming in a new update

    Input: Cab Pack or Ownhammer?

    Try as many as you can afford and Cab-Lab too. Their pretty cheap if you pick one up when you have a few extra bucks. Sometime I only get one ir out of a Pak or Ownhammer but one good ir is worth the $30-75 to me. Most of the ir's I use are combos made in Cab-Lab, but not all. My two cents.

    To IR or not to IR - Cab Pack purchase worth the money?

    What pickups work best with Les Paul and Axe FXII?

    I have Bareknuckle Humbucker sized Supermassive P-90's in the neck and Bareknuckle Black Dogs in the bridge of four different Les Pauls and love them. Big open sound from the P-90's and the Black dogs are very versatile. IMHO
