    Input 1/Instrument A/D sensitivity

    Hi guys, Just wondering how this should be set, I'm getting input clipping even at very low values like 18%, if set at zero I get no clipping, and sounds come out alright as well. Using always midgain passive pups, single coils, got a heavy right hand, so clipping comes up every now and...

    Wish Dunn Effects Death Knob HM-2 (or anyway to get the chainsaw EQ)

    So, here we are again, HM2 gets no love whatsoever, but there's a lot of metal players that would benefit from it's chainsaw beehive EQ. The Death knob is great, it's only one knob for mix and it adds that character to your favorite amp. It truly would be great to get either some EQ pointers...

    Has anyone succesfully ported the Alien Water Kiss preset from Axe2 to Axe3?

    Hey fractalites, Ive been wondering if anyone has acquired a good conversion of this preset. It sounded perfect on the Axe2, but sending it to Axe3 via Fractool is not quite close. Don't know but something or maybe more than 1 block is out of whack. Understandable of course.

    Setting up SPIDF with MAudio FastTrack and Logic pro

    Hi friends, I’ve been streamlining my studio setup and want to try SPIDF to my FastTrack using Logic Pro on my Macbook. So long USB and the 1/4 inputs on the FastTrack work great, but I simply don’t know how to setup the SPIDF for recording (neither for reamping), got the connections and...

    External distortion pedal + Cab block idea

    Hi guys, I was thinking about a cool idea to use distortion pedals and the AxeFxII. Maybe it's been done already, but the thing is I can't try this, since my Atomic wedge just died on me a couple days ago. The idea is to run a distortion pedal into the front of the Axe, then putting a Cab...

    Formant block question.

    Hi fellow fractalites and Fractal deities, I've been wondering something with the formant block. Sometime ago I discovered how to use the Vocoder block on the AxeII. Installing a mic on input 2 and then modulating guitar sounds with spoken word. Essentially something familiar to the...

    Mesa Lead fusion tone (w/ scenes) kinda Holdsworthish/Hendersonian.

    Hi guys, Here is a preset that I've been using a lot, it's a Boogie fusion tone; for nice legato and expressive lead playing. Second scene engages an octave divider for that classic dual tone Holdsworth lead sound. Third and fourth scenes toggle between two harmonizer scales which I created to...

    Controlling oscillation within delay & using hold.

    Hi guys, I've been trying to generate some oscillating delay sounds (as in twisting knobs in a real pedal) so I assigned two expression knobs to both delay time and feedback (just before it oscillates too much and clips). It does some cool pitchy things, not quite as in twisting knobs in a...

    Quantum Friedman BE & Strat video (crunchy lead)

    Here is another improvised demo, this time showcasing Quantum 1.01 and the Friedman BE model. Using the Friedman cabs and some delay. The 87 ESP Strat is loaded with Suhr MLs in mid & neck, and the BKP Sinner in the bridge. Bladerunner bridge and that's mostly it. Hope you like it. Nevermind the...

    Some metal using 5153, old video (sept 2014)

    Just an old video I found of my metal guitar "Raven" and a patch made with the 5153. Again it is just improvised fun. Tuned to C, then I engage the EVH dtuner dropping the 6th string to Bb. For the leads I engage scene 2; which adds a filter and delay. Sounds pretty neat. Nowadays that patch...

    Little clip of some JeffBeck-styled tone

    Hi guys, First post since the forum's migration. This time I'm doing some improvised fingerpicked leads with a patch I created using the JTM45 and the BB Preamp. I think it's the same JTM45 patch I have on Axedit; just try the drive Y setting. There ya go!

    Good amp model to emulate Chuck Schuldiner's tone?

    Hi guys, I'm a diehard Death fan, had the chance to see them live and meet all of them, so one thing is off the bucketlist. I would love to get close to the tones from "Human", "ITP" and "Symbolic". I cooked up a couple presets using the Euro Uber and the 5150 Red, they work nice and all, a...

    Recommendations to achieve a good Univibe sound?

    Hi guys, I remember from a while back a great preset based on "Bridge of sighs". The univibe tone was provided with the phaser block, before the amp. I'm trying it after the cab block, as I use most modulation fx, but it just doesn't have the low end bump. What would be your tweaks to get a...

    Tonematching a distortion pedal.

    Hi guys, I was trying to remember how I did it quite a few firmwares ago, but the thing is that I made a decent tonematch for the Suhr Riot. I know why bother when we already have it in the Axe, but I asked for a buddy to loan me the Riot I sold him a while ago and I want to have a go at it...

    Hi guys, Just a small demo of the JTM45 in Quantum FW. Noodles and clams. Guitar is an '87 ESP Telecaster. Neck pickup (Dimarzio Twang King) for this recording. I think it records great, the dynamic content is off the hook. Added some Fet Boost to increase chime, some analog delay and...

    Quantum: XY not copying correctly on some blocks

    Hi guys, I've had this happen a couple times, mainly in the Cab block, when copying X to Y status, Y will sound really different even if they have the exact same settings. Changing mode on Y can defeat this, but it should work with the same configuration I'm copying. This happens working...

    Pink Floyd's Echoes "Seagull" effect

    Being a total Pink Floyd freak, this is a sound I was able to make with analog pedals. Mainly a wah pedal, connecting the guitar cord to the wah's output and the amp to the input (inverted from regular operation). Then with the guitar's tone knob you get those crazy seagulls. Is there anyway...

    Headphones&EQ recommendations

    Fw19 with Axedit and presets.

    Hi guys, I've been playing like crazy with FW19 and really love it! I also love how Axedit loads presets and the added IR to the scratchpad. It has made preset auditioning a breeze. The one thing that I still can't believe anyone has worked out, is a way to keep AxeFxII mark I and XL...

    Using crossover block to separate guitar ranges or strings between amps.

    A while ago I heard that using the crossover block, it was possible to send the lower 3 strings range to one amp, and the upper 3 to another. Like having the low end sent to the Uber and the high end into a Mark IIC. Is that kinda doable? And if so, could someone share the settings for the...

    Recommendations for sustain/feedback (amps & parameters)
