    Storing FC-6 in a rack?

    Any more updates on this? Thinking of doing something similar myself. Maybe something that could come completely out to set on the floor. Was there a reason you are trying to bring it down 5 mm lower? Was something rubbing, or was it just preventing the use of velcro?

    [Solved] Problem setting presets on FC-6

    Timing on availability of exact specs/photos of FC-6/12

    The problem is the III doesn't have the power pass through like the II does, where you can plug the GCP power adapter into the back of the Axe FX, and it passes it down extra pins on the MIDI cable. This means I haven't even been able to try using my GCP with my III yet, because the III won't...

    Can I use SCENES with a Midi Mate?

    I haven't used a Midi Mate but I'm pretty sure you can use scenes with any MIDI controller. You just map "MIDI preset 0" to "Axe-FX II preset 0, scene 1", then "MIDI preset 1" to "Axe-FX II preset 0, scene 2" etc. So the MIDI controller just acts like it is changing a normal preset. And I...
