Just got my III and all I have to say is

the thing is so beautiful- especially when turned on - that even people who don’t play an instrument should buy it.

Pedal controlling 2 blocks in 1 preset

Can I set up an expression pedal to control wah when wah is engaged and drive amount in a drive block whenever the wah is bypassed? I could use a programmable midi controller if necessary (mc6).

Line6 HX Effects as midi controller for Axe FX II

I've got an MC6 midi controller that works well with the Axe and is very portable, but I'm thinking for a little extra size (and money) I'll get all that plus nearly a Fractal FX8, for around 500 used (when available). Looks interesting.

Are amp blocks necessary?

One thing that's always confused me about modelers - I've got an XL+ waiting to unbox at home right now after a few years away from Fractal - is the combined use of drive and amp blocks. Of course I understand that if you're looking to capture the sound of a tube screamer through a fender...

Dry tracks project

Over on TGP they're doing a cool thread where people run the same dry unprocessed direct track through their modeler to hear the differences and ranges of sounds that can be achieved. Still need an Axe contribution. Would be especially cool to hear a II and a Standard...

AX4 ??

Is anyone with me in thinking that an AX4 that's half the size of the AX8 with an attached expression pedal (basically the same size as say a Zoom G3X) with like 10 amp models and 4 simultaneous fx for around 450 bucks would sell like hot cakes and fit the needs of most gigging musicians on a...

Gigged with my AxeFxII last night

I'm the opposite of a power user. I used 3 presets for the gig: clean, boosted clean, and boosted drive. Just a MidiMouse to switch between presets and the smallest EV powered monitor. A touch of reverb on each preset, no other effects. Used my '54 Goldtop reissue (chambered) with a Snark...

Tone seekers miss forest for trees

I love my AxeFx2. Never had a problem with it and haven't done a heck of a lot of deep diving with it. What I don't get is the intense scrutinizing of "tone" amongst guitarists. Listen to guitar sounds on anything from early 50s Elvis to Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry to Bill Haley and Howlin...

Question on using a powered monitor passively

I have an Electro-Voice active monitor that I have used with my Axe-FX II. I recently got a 10-watt tube amp head (Alessandro Beagle) and I want to test that it's working while I'm hunting down a 1x12 speaker cab for it. Is it ok to run a speaker cable from the guitar amp head into the EV...

Connecting USB to a high-end DAC?

When home, I use my Axe-FX II with headphones plugged into the headphone output. Love the sound, but it can break up a bit here and there. I am comsidering a headphone amp to upgrade my listening experience, and it occurred to me that perhaps I should look at a DAC/amp combination and try...

Problems getting worse....

When I first got my AxeFX II several months ago I started playing a lot more guitar because I was so into the sounds I was getting out of the box. Just with the factory presets no tweaking or preset exchanges. I guess I started going to bed a little later as a result of that. As time went on I...

What's a good choice for a very bare bones midi controller

I'm using the Axe-FX II. For my gigs I need 2 or 3 presets with ability to switch Drive on/off in each, and a volume pedal. What would be a cost effective option for me?

New AxeFX II user and new to forum

I bought an AxeFx II 2 weeks ago and haven't made it all the way through the presets yet. The most editing I've done is to turn down the delay mix or the reverb in a few patches here and there. I listen via my inexpensive Grado SR-60 headphones and... I HAVE NOT HAD THIS MUCH FUN PLAYING...
