    FM3 in the house, a few quick observations

    People who use Fractal, but won't use midi patch switching, blow my mind. The 3 buttons should have never even come up when this was unveiled. Thanks for addressing some of the concerns on the forum constructively man, you rock

    AX8 USA/Canada Purchase Invitations

    My email somehow does not have my confirmation email when signing up for the waitlist. Is there any way to find out when I did from FAS?

    Practically... How does one do the live thing? Buttons and functions?

    Use Midi with a DAW to change everything to click. The best way to go.

    Axe-FX Live Rig Setup Question

    Owning the Axe FX has been a long road full of tough lessons and trials for me. But I came down to one perfect setup, after having tried every other method. I started off doing 4CM with my 6505+ when I first got it, to using the 6505+ as a power amp through my Mesa Cab. Then I sold all that, and...

    Why is the CLR so much more popular in comparison to Matrix equivalents?

    I use the Matrix GT1000FX with the CLR Passive Wedge. I bought the CLR because it was domestic, honestly. Less expensive, and got here faster. It sounds amazing too. So why not

    A monitor for serious live use

    I use a CLR in a LOUD progressive metal band. Seriously, it is loud enough haha. I use a passive one though with a Matrix GT1000FX. Might be the difference, but yeah. Needs to be tried first. Do NOT got a K12. I had 2 and it as the worst experience as far as volume goes.

    Running Two Axe-FX II's in parallel

    If you can afford to do it, why not. Could make for some cool sounds. You have so much more CPU, and could do separate things effects wise to each side, and pan them or whatever whatever.

    Running Two Axe-FX II's in parallel

    I would use an A-B-Y box mounted in the rack from the wireless to both units.

    VAFAM vs. Bestronics for Front Panel?

    Here is a crappy picture of half of it haha. I have 7 XLR on it, and 2 Speakon/quarter inch combo jacks on it. All I need.
  11. Trainwreck1446

    CLR owners help me out.

    I use the Matrix GT1000FX with my passive CLR. Volume change is easy. And this thing sounds great. But I guess the real question is are you trying to use this thing outside of the house? Are you planning on using it live?
  12. Trainwreck1446

    VAFAM vs. Bestronics for Front Panel?

    I use it as a rear panel. But I just got my Vafam panel yesterday. Was only $100, and it was shipped a day later. I have 9 outputs on mine. The quality is just incredible.
  13. Trainwreck1446

    1 CLR or 2?

    1 is loud enough for my progressive metal band.

    Looking for direct in patches for playing live.

    I've always had a cab live, and never the ability to tweak in a live setting really. Just want to see what other ones look like at this point.

    Some problems with my Strandberg, and Lace X bars...

    So these Lace pickups have barely the output they should have even though the volume is cranked, and I have had them raised obscenely high. Anyone know what could be causing this? Bad Volume pot? Bad wiring?

    matrix vs mesa 2:100 review

    I play the Matrix GT1000FX with drop tuned guitars, and 7 strings playing mostly progressive metal, and it is absolutely brutal, sounds perfect. Wouldn't trade it for a tube amp, ever.

    What Guitar Cab do you guys like with the Axe FX II?

    Yes, you can get a road case made. Kent Custom Cases is my favorite place to go. I use V30's, but you have a ton of speaker options when you order

    FW13 Release Notes

    People calling for a ban and all that need to chill out haha. I wasn't too stoked when I saw it either, but if this bothers you that much, you should thank the guy for helping you uncover some of the deeper issues you apparently need to deal with.

    Something I figured out at rehearsal last night...

    SAG is essential when you use a Marshall style amp that has power amp break up, imo. Crank it!

    v12.04 For Guitar Cabinet Users

    I am very happy with both FRFR and Guitar cab +amp. I use the cab and amp live, and it kills. But at home, I just play through studio monitors, and it is just so good.

    Opinion on Carvin guitars

    Buy it. My Carvin DC727 is just amazing. The build quality is ridiculous. I own a Strandberg 7, and I still find myself playing both guitars about as equally as much.

    Anyone use the new Matrix FR212 for metal or any drop tuned riffage yet?

    So I wanted to bump this thread, and see if anyone playing more modern, progressive, and DROP tuned metal had purchased and used this cabinet yet. Thinking B or lower. 7 strings. 8 strings. And does it have the "woof" of a regular cab. Some sound/video demos would be great. I am buying this...

    Anyone changing patches via a MIDI interface with an iPad LIVE with a click track?

    That's what I was thinking... Logic sending a Midi signal out on time with patch changes in the song. Just curious if others do this. That way I don't have to have a foot controller on stage
  53. Trainwreck1446

    Anyone changing patches via a MIDI interface with an iPad LIVE with a click track?

    Logic or Garageband can't send a midi signal out along with the recorded tracks an metronome?
  54. Trainwreck1446

    Anyone changing patches via a MIDI interface with an iPad LIVE with a click track?

    I don't think you are understanding. The midi signals get sent automatically to change patches at set times during a song to a click track the entire band is playing to. I know The Faceless does this with the Axe FX II, wondering who else is doing this. Pretty sure they use a laptop to do it though.

    Enjoy.

    Bedroom level: best way?

    I own both a nice set of studio monitors, and my Port City OS Wave 4x12 sits next to my recording desk as well. From my experience, don't bother with the 4x12 if you have neighbors. You'll get a better sound out of something like studio monitors at bedroom level. It blows the 4x12 out of the...

    What's so special about Matrix GT1000?

    The Matrix being designed for guitar playing is more marketing bait than anything else. The truth is, I have the Carvin DCM1540L before I got my Matrix GT1000FX. LOVE the Carvin. Still do. so much headroom, was loud, and had very flat response. But then I got the Matrix to see what all the fuss...

    Any idea where to buy a 7 pin midi cable for a decent price?

    I ended up getting one. Initially the ones I had seen were like $40-$60, so I was trying another route. Didn't see that Hosa cable on Sweetwater though. Haha. Thinking of ditching the GCP Pro altogether and just having patch changes to click automatically live. Anyone try this?

    About to order a custom Carvin DC727... Anyone here have one? Thoughts?

    I have purely passive, but I do have the coil tapping, and I love it. The middle switch with single coils set is that perfect AAL slapping sound.

    I have a Classified ad rant ...

    An item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That guy will sell that Axe FX for that price. You may not buy it. But at the end of the day he wins. His unit will be gone very quickly.

    I don't see this, and Animals as Leaders as comparable at all really. AAL has their particular "sound". You can always identify it, even if you never heard the song before. As does Scale the Summit. Apples and Oranges

    My opinion on FAS Cab Packs

    If crucifixion was what I was going for with the statement, I think you would know haha. Simply a question. Who is to say? Nothing was ever released concretely about what was really going on in the pictures. Or even the positions used for every IR. Would be interested to hear.
  79. Trainwreck1446

    My opinion on FAS Cab Packs

    Who is to say these were all recorded at the same time in the same position as this? They could have adjusted this configuration for every mic so that it would be different than pictured.

    Anyone use the new Matrix FR212 for metal or any drop tuned riffage yet?

    Haha. I'm the one that pushed Clarky to do that vid with the Q12. Was just wondering if the passive FRFR 212 had the same feel.
  81. Trainwreck1446

    Anyone use the new Matrix FR212 for metal or any drop tuned riffage yet?

    I ditched FRFR originally, because it just hasn't been there for metal for me. Even bands like Between the Buried and Me, Animals as Leaders, etc, went back to Amp/Cab AFTER having done FRFR, so wondering where the disconnect is. FRFR is very appealing to me, especially in a 212 so I can be as...

    NOT happy with axe fx 2 w/matrix gt1000 into 4x12 cab

    I tried all that, but maybe it's just my cab or whatever, it wasn't something presence or treble could fix. It was like super high frequencies.
  83. Trainwreck1446

    NOT happy with axe fx 2 w/matrix gt1000 into 4x12 cab

    I using the filter block going to be a big difference from using the high freq cut in the amp block? And if so, how? I am still learning about all this stuff, so this is a serious question.
  84. Trainwreck1446

    NOT happy with axe fx 2 w/matrix gt1000 into 4x12 cab

    I am putting the Filter directly after the amp block, and I usually set it to around 6k ish

    NOT happy with axe fx 2 w/matrix gt1000 into 4x12 cab

    I am using the Matrix into a Port City OS Wave 4x12, and also an Orange PPC212C, and got them to sound great, but only by lowering the highs with the filter block, and some basic EQ'ing in the amp block. All to taste of course, so I don't have exact numbers for you.
  86. Trainwreck1446

    How different do your fw11 presets sound in 12?

    The only things I re-tweaked were the new modeling types, and it just made it sound even better. Even without that, they were noticeably better.

    Anyone use the new Matrix FR212 for metal or any drop tuned riffage yet?

    Would love to hear a demo of this. Would be the dream answer to my problems if it sounded good. I am a proud owner of a GT1000FX, would love to pair this up with it. Any vids out there With some heavy rhythm metal playing? I have heard the leads and they are killer, so not really looking for...
  88. Trainwreck1446

    NOT happy with axe fx 2 w/matrix gt1000 into 4x12 cab

    Utilize the Filter block. That's all I can say. Cut those highs out. You will be happy with it.

    Axe FX + Matrix GT800FX + Orange PPC412 4x12 - Best Way of Connecting?

    XLR from Axe to Matrix input A. Speakon from bridged output on Matrix to the jack on the back of the cab. That's how I do it. Sounds great.
