    [Implemented] Revv G3

    Still have nothing in the Fractal library can comes close to this. Please do not tell me that we have a Boss Metal Zone or to just take some other drive and turn up the gain and EQ and change the diode. Unless some super nerd on here can convince me otherwise, I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist...

    Wish Fairfield Barbershop V2

    This pedal is not only fantastic but unique IMHO, especially with the sag knob, giving a much bouncier and tighter feel to the transients as you turn it up.

    Complex reverbs: Red Panda, GFI Systems, Hologram Electronics

    With all the new generation reverb pedals, is the FM3 capable of duplicating such sounds, and if not, could they be adopted into the family?

    J. Rockett Archer IKON as a drive model

    J.Rockett Archer IKON - I know there have been settings for using the FET boost to get to the Klon territory, but it’s nowhere near the same as the original pedal, KTR, or even the Archer IKON. any chance here? I remember the jerk years ago that made Cliff lose any desire to put a Klon in...

    Tone of Kings model does not sound like the real pedal

    KOT - compared to my black KOT, the Fractal model is quieter, weaker, and even a little fizzy/farty by comparison. Any help here on why?

    Question about Yamaha DXR10 users on DSP settings

    Where do y'all keep the HPF and Contour switches for tweaking presets? I don't have my Xitone anymore (I moved back stateside), and I want to know the best settings on this speaker for the most honest sonic referencing. Thanks.

    Wish Customizable names of switch assignment labels

    On my presets, I have CS1 as a "dirty boost" on the input of the amp and CS2 as a "clean boost" after the cab. I would like to customize the names on the screen that shows the footswitch assignments. Practically speaking, I have some magnetic labels on the AX8, and I'd like to make those...

    My #1 Marshall preset (800 #34, Cab #61)

    Not a lot done. Just the right cabinet (my new favorite for anything Marshall-esque with some gain turned up), and a few tweaks on the first amp block page, and in some post compression. The clock just flies passed me these days. My guitar is a PRS SE Semi-Hollow (2008) - medium gain pickups.

    Help me acquire this delicious tone, please!

    Hey, guys. I know there are many "Petrucci"-like presets, but can someone post a preset that is as close as possible to his tone in the video? Does anyone have the amp settings? It feels as if Randall Smith wanted to make an amp that resembles a woman's brain: every parameter seems to affect...

    Fishman AST powerbridge for Tele

    I am very interested in this bridge. I would love to have genuine acoustic tones and electric tones from my Tele. I'd like to have a mini toggle switch and keep my mono jack as well, but I would like to hear from others that have this bridge in their guitar(s). 1) Does the AST pickup fit in an...

    I was backing up my AX8 through Fractal Bot, when the usb cable was unplugged. Obviously, the backup was interrupted, but my worry is that I can't connect to my Macbook via any app (AX8-Edit, Fractool, Fractal Bot). Is there a "reset" for the AX8's usb or my computer's usb that will fix this...

    What is the better method for tweaking patches, in your opinion?

    I've seen several methods explained for tweaking patches (Cooper Carter, Chris, Scott Peterson, Mikko, etc.). Which do you guys think works best for you, and does the guitar you use change the method you use? I have my method, but I want to learn more, expand my horizons, both for tweaking more...

    Amp block GEQ

    other than the 5-band Mark series EQ, I may have used this once or twice. It feels as if removing any frequencies from this EQ sucks the tone and feel out immediately. Is this GEQ's placement before or after the PI? I would be nice to be able to move its placement within the "amp structure" of...

    Help running tracks in Logic through the AxeFx2, as an external FX unit

    So, I've got some recorded tracks from other instruments and from guitars not recorded using AxeFx2. What I want to do is use the AxeFx as an FX unit, running "track x" out of Logic, through the AxeFx2, then back into Logic. Can someone help me with configuring this?

    Wish Output Comp (amp block) type: optical

    Since Cliff just confirmed my suspicion, I formally request this compressor type in the amp block "Output Comp" You may be asking why, since we already have a compressor block. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this would save on CPU quite a bit. If there could also be attack and...

    Wish Motor Drive, please!!

    I know that there is a CPU limit and all, but I would pay money for the Motor Drive parameter to be added to the cab block. I have an AxeFx2, and that parameter makes a huuuuuge difference when playing live.

    Optical Compressors 1 and 2: either of these like the Diamond Comp?

    I love the Diamond Comp, and since it is an optical compressor, I'd love to know if one of these new optical compressors is like it.

    What is the sonic difference between output comp in amp block and comp block after amp?

    I've been using anywhere between 1-2.25 in the Output Comp of the amp block, in order to keep my levels tighter in most of my presets. How is this different from using a compressor block (studio, pedal, or the new optical) after the amp block? I can't imagine it would be much different, so...

    Bug? Tap Tempo tourettes

    Often, I will try to tap in a specific tempo (from my drummer, I'll know that the bpm on the click is, say, 115), and I'll either hit exactly 115 bpm with my foot, or I'll get really close and bend over to get it exact with the tempo knob in the Tempo window. Problem: sometimes, the tempo jumps...

    Wish Boost (in amp block) placement switch

    i love this boost switch in the amp, as it gives me extra chunk with minimal CPU usage added. However, sometimes, I would like to have this boost placed after the amp (within the amp block still), so that it may work as a clean volume boost for solos, especially when I don't want anymore...

    Wish Needing that "Room" parameter in Cab Block

    I just got the AX8, and to my surprise, there is no "Room" parameter (I don't know why I didn't notice on the forum earlier). As an Axe-Fx 2 user, this parameter has been essential for me, and should be even more essential as an AX8 user, as it removes the need for a 2nd Reverb block. Please...

    That "Lo Cut" switch - I just love it, love it, love it

    I've enjoyed this feature since it was implemented, but I thought I might express my appreciation for it now. I truly love this switch, just underneath the bass dial. I use it on most of my patches. Instead of an 808 in front of a Recto, I just hit this switch, letting me use the overdrive as...

    Worship Service in Florianopolis w/ Quantum

    So I finally installed Quantum before our meeting last night....whoa. What a difference! I only tried three presets: my acoustic sim patch, Matchless HC30 (TMA), and Deluxe Reverb. With the 1st two, I didn't notice a huge difference, but I really noticed a...um...chewier...dynamic-ier sound...

    So, I've been a little busy: moving to Brazil, taking care of my 4-month old son, among other things. But when I finally got back to my AxeFx, I decided that I would revisit some patches that didn't seem to work out before. Matchless HC30 (TMA) was one of them. Back in FW9, I just wasn't wowed...

    OMG I love the '59 Bassman!

    From the beginning of my Axe2 (FW 5), I could never get a satisfying Bassman sound. I guess partly bc I didn't ever play or hear one up close, so I didn't know what it was really supposed to sound like. Either way, after loading 12.04b, I revisited an old Bassman patch, reset the amp, cranked...

    Criss-crossing signal path between delay & reverb
