    Clean/Fix Jumpy Rotary Encoder?

    This is true. But also, the community is full of knowledge so figured it doesn’t hurt to ask!

    Clean/Fix Jumpy Rotary Encoder?

    Hey all! My Fm9 has been having some issues with the rotary encoder (big knob!) skipping/being jumpy. I thought it was at first my patch since i was a little high on CPU, but it seems to be happening with blank presets. I think something must have been spilled on it at a gig, or something...

    Simulating dying pre/power tubes?

    Okay, so I have a bit of a weird request here which is: what is the best approach for simulating an amp that has dying tubes and is incorrectly biased? In short, I used a friends Carvin Legacy for a recent single of mine and it is not exactly in ‘ good working condition’. The amp would have to...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.03 Release

    I just messed with changing the impedance curve to the LB-UK and then turning up the hi resonance (to try and match my suhr load) and I’ve never had an easier time ‘matching’ to my amp sounds that I’ve recorded. I love this box more and more every time I use it.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.00 Public Beta #2

    Loving the MkV models. The tweed/edge and crunch modes of the mark v are pretty awesome too hope they get added sometime! What would be the best way of emulating a the v25? El84 power amp but any other guidelines for simulating lower watts?

    Help needed with routing for Tonex

    the only way to capture is to be at 44.1k. At least, that's the only option they gave me. I had to use the axe as hardware in/out rather than software and then it worked. Since the axe is 48khz, thats where the problem lies

    Who uses just 1 Cabinet IR?

    Personally I have gotten lucky and have found that my favorite IR for recording that I use on everything, also is perfect for live. So I just stick with the same IR.. sometimes I'll depart and stick on the next for awhile etc. I like the consistency and in my mind I compare it to having an amp...

    FM3 As Pedalboard with Backline

    If you think that'll be the amp you'll end up with, design a patch as normal for direct (with an amp block) and then put all of your blocks in front . will be a good way to test the sonic waters. You can put the Deluxe on channel A and Junior Blues on B, and see if it works with both, too...

    Bass Combo Suggestions? (Edit: Found!)

    I'm not looking for full range. We have monitors and we want the addition of live cabs. I figured the easiest way to achieve it would be getting a combo amp with a line in - plus thats a built in backup (preamp) in the case theres any issues with the bass rig. Price range would probably be...

    Hey guys I am looking for a reccomendation for a portable bass combo (read: not gonna break my back) and have a line in/fx return for using an FM9 through it.

    Thanks! I am still really proud of Flux, but definitely have changed a lot since then as a player, writer, and person (about 7 years ago now) If you haven't heard my last single, "Ocean", it is a bit of a transitory song from the Flux sound to the 2nd record.

    Friedman Master Volume

    One of my absolute favorite things about the Friedman models on the Axe FX is... the depth knob, and low cut. Friedmans are so freaking huge sounding IRL and in the Axe, I have had a couple myself and have enjoyed them all.. But for what I enjoy tonally, it's often just a smidge too much. I...

    The IC of any cab/load will change how the amp reacts. So, lets say you're using your amp with the LB2 and love the tone, and then want to make an equivalent sound on the Axe: You would match the impedance curve (LB2) and then dial it the amp block as close as you can. After, you would do a...
