    Problem updating MFC

    What am I doing wrong here? I have USB adapter mode "ON", SysEX to "NONE", MFC is in update mode, MIDI out from Axe to MIDI IN on MFC and running Mac 10.7.5 with the updated USB driver. Fractal Bot is insisting the the port to use is "AXE-FX MIDI In" Shouldn't it be the MIDI OUT/THRU? When...

    How to skip multiple FW updates?!?

    Is there a suggested way to get a 'fresh' firmware and presets in the AxeFxII? I've been away since 12, and would like to jump straight to 15. I'm fine with dumping all presets and whatnot, seems like it would be easier to start over for me than to do the amp reset up / down thing.

    These Bass Amps are fun!!!!

    Having a lot of fun with these today. Figured I'd share the preset. Scenes 1-4 are what I've been messing with and 5-8 are the same as 1-4 but with drive. Made this using a P/J Bass through CLR's. Watch the low end.

    Panning with the looper?

    I tried a search, but could not find anything. If you know of a good post, please point me to it. I'd like to setup a patch that separates a signal when the looper is engaged and playing. So to start the patch would be L+R. When a loop is recorded, on playback, the loop switches to hard...

    What's your preferred Boost method?

    I added a PEQ with an extra 6db of level at the end of my presets, using an IA switch to trigger…. what's everyone else doing?

    Ultimate Ernie Ball Expression Pedal Mod

    The dead spot at the end of the Boss FV500's always annoyed me. I took one apart and realized that it's a mechanical issue, not anything to do with the pot or it's sweep. Tried a Mission/Dunlop style pedal, and could never get used to the height of that style chassis. Ernie Ball volume pedals...

    What do you run between your guitar and the AxeFx?

    When running traditional amps I always ran a Zvex SHO and a few pedals. I've been able to replicate all the pedals and yesterday threw the SHO in front of the AxeFx just for the hell of it. Boom! Even with the volume at its lowest setting, a part of what I've been missing in my sound has...

    Basic wireless question

    I've read that sometimes standing too close to a wireless receiver can cause drop outs. Anyone experience this? Never had a wireless but am, getting sick of stepping on my cable while changing patches on the MFC. FWIW I'm considering one of the Line 6 units.

    Modeled Mic Question and IR's

    Been dialing in some sounds again, and had a question about mics in the cab block. Are they essentially just a filter on top of the cab IR? .... or does it mean that the IR was actually recorded with that mic? If they are just a type of filter, do most players set up live patches without a...

    Best way to setup a volume pedal?

    When using traditional amps, I've always played using an Ernie Ball volume pedal at the start of my signal chain. Is there much of a difference between assigning an expression pedal to control Input Volume (cc10), or putting a Volume block at the start of the chain? I messed around with...

    Good intro FRFR cab

    Good intro FRFR cab? Haven't been on the forums in a while and recently upgraded to v12. I've been rocking in headphones and realized that I'm missing out on a little something using my traditional cabs and would like to try a FRFR cab. Looking for suggestions. It can be powered or passive...

    SPDIF and sample rate

    When running SPDIF to to an interface, does sample rate come in to play? I know it's at 48kHz via USB, but wasn't sure if it matters via SPDIF.

    Stacking CLR Cabs

    Stacking CLR Cabs, Good or Bad Idea? Would there be any phasing or coupling issues with stacking two of the CLR cabs on top of each other to process a stereo signal?

    FRFR in a VERY loud band setting?!?

    Anyone doing this with great success? Typically I rock the AxeFx at home and a 100W tube head at practice. I've had my AxeFx there with a Matrix 1000 driving a pair of 4x12's and it's loud enough. Wouldn't mind ditching that for a powered wedge or Atomic CLR. Would that be able to "keep up".

    Tracking with multiple modelers?

    Is there any way to record multiple digital tracks using multiple modelers? Example would be two AxeFX II's and one Eleven Rack. I'm fairly confident this couldn't be done via USB, but am not too familiar with the Digital IO formats offered on the Axe. What kind of interface would I need...

    Can you pan the stereo looper?

    When running a stereo setup, is it possible to record a loop and have it automatically play back panned? My ideal would be after playback starts the right side is 80% loop and 20% live playing, with the reverse ratio on the left. I've been searching and can't figure out how to get this done.

    What's the smoothest way to switch amps in a preset?

    Looking to set up four amp sounds in one patch, what's the best way to get this done? Was thinking an expression pedal to move from AMP 1 and AMP 2, and two switches on the MFC for AMP X/Y.

    Preset Bank Question

    I remember reading somewhere that when you upgrade firmware, you're supposed to change the amp to another model, and then back again to "reset" the patch for the new firmware. Do you still have to do the same thing if you're on 8.01a and then load the v7 preset banks in to the unit? Also, is...

    AXE Rig is shocking me!

    Newer to running a rack setup and am having a slight issue with electricity and what seems to be a grounding issue. When I use the MIDI Phantom Power In jack, the chassis of my Rocktron MIDI Raider is live. Noticed it today while playing and trying to program it barefoot! The problem only...

    SysEx Byte Values and the Rocktron Raider

    Trying to program a Rocktron Raider and it allows for the assignment of byte values, for each byte of the system exclusive message. Anyone know what I should be putting in that field? Each of the 7 bytes allows the option of 0-127 and EOX (End of Exclusive).Seems like that's the only thing...

    Balanced Output Connection

    Does using the 1/4" jacks on Output 1 & 2 with Humbuster cabling provide a 6dB boost of that output's signal? Or does that refer only to the XLR jack? Balanced/Unbalanced connections - Axe-Fx II Wiki

    Will the FCB1010 do this?

    So fair warning here, I'm really new to the concept of MIDI, but would like to get a controller for the Axe. Wondering if the FCB will do all of this well, and if there are any major drawbacks to the unit. I'd like to be able to swap between five patches and add/subtract a few pedal blocks...

    Musical Feedback and the Noise Gate

    Like the title says, looking to get some info on how to set this up well. I use controlled sustaining feedback quite a lot, and it's the only thing I'm having a hard time dialing in. Never having used a noise gate before, I'm unsure of how to set up the parameters. I can get it to work, but...

    So many volumes options!

    Looking to get a little help in setting up some patches for even consistent volume levels. With so many adjustments in so many parts of the patch, where do you start, and how do you know that you're done? Take a simple patch, with 1 amp block. The amp has a MV, but then page 2, dynamics...

    Matrix GT1000FX "Modified to respond even more like a valve power amplifier"

    New to the Axe and am digging it so far, just trying to figure out the best way to power it. Ultimately I'd like something that allows me to use the Power Amp sims and a traditional guitar cab, but am thrown by this statement from the Matrix site: "Whilst still delivering the same flat...

    Do you need "extra" space in a rack?

    So if you're mounting something like a 2U tube power amp in a rack with an AxeFX do you need more than a 4U rack? Is heat dissipation really a concern or more of an internet forum phenomena. I couldn't find anything in the Randall, Fryette, or Mesa manuals saying there needed to be extra room...

    Using Aggregate Devices

    Anyone successfully pair an 11R and AxeFxII as an aggregate device? Looking to track two guitars simultaneously with both units, each capturing the wet and dry tracks. If that's a tall order would I be better off with two of the same modeler, or a single interface?
