    Electromagnetic noise/ interference

    Apologies for the novel but trying to provide the reasoning down this path. I'll provide you something to try, as I attempted something yesterday after months of similar EMI and ground noise issues/troubleshooting you are facing. It appears to have corrected it for me. My noise issue was...

    Resolved: User Cabs Disappearing?

    Thank you for the suggestion @mistermikev, the refresh seems to have cleared the behavior. I have powered off/on and the cab name and user cab list seems to be remaining after the refresh step.

    Resolved: User Cabs Disappearing?

    Apologies if this should be posted in the general thread. I'm facing.a problem when importing some Celestion IRs (200ms in .wav format), note, I can't be sure if this would happen with all IRs as I don't own any others at the moment. I am using the manage cabs interface, I transfer the folder...

    Axe-Fx III not completing start up when plugged into FC-12

    Was this issue resolved in 5.08? The reason I'm asking is that I'm seeing a strange boot up behaviour where my FC12 doesn't initialize completely, it states the FW version 1.06 instead of the patch/scene name and switches 11 and 12 don't initialize and show "---" but still seem to have the...

    Non-Mirrored Mode (ie AX3 -> FC12 -> FC6) - Anyone using this setup?

    For #1, I'm wanting a MLM layout for each device to be independent. As an example of what I'm facing. For the FC12, layout 5 for Looper is arranged (Record, Play, --, Once, Tempo, Tune, --, --, Undo/Erase, Reverse, Half Speed, LPR Bypass) For the FC6, layout 5 should be (Record, Play, Once...

    Non-Mirrored Mode (ie AX3 -> FC12 -> FC6) - Anyone using this setup?

    I'm struggling to get this setup to work correctly. I was envisioning a section like in the manual where you have two independent devices: LAYOUT LINKS EXAMPLE: 6 + 12 = KILLER APP The problems I'm seeing are the following: 1) There is only one master layout for both devices (it is not...

    Wish - Reset to defaults - Identify Target for Reset (non-mirrored)

    I’m aware that on the reset screen you can select FC6 or FC12. If you are running the following setup: AXEFX3 -> FC12 -> FC6 (non-mirrored) ..when you execute the reset for the FC6, i think it assumes all devices in the daisy chain are the same and the FC12 gets loaded with the FC6 defaults...

    AX8 Lockup on 3.40

    There was a power bar similar to first suggestion post above. But secondly , to repeat from above, as one of the troubleshooting steps we moved this problem AX8 to the same outlet and run as my AX8. His locked up and mine worked fine. If power was the issue we should have both been affected...

    AX8 Lockup on 3.40

    I've asked him to reach out to support. We both stayed away from 3.51 just prior to the gig, but I guess if the unit can manage to stay up and running long enough without locking up, it is a shot.

    AX8 Lockup on 3.40

    My other guitar player just got his AX8 two weeks ago and we worked to get him setup as I am running one as well. It ran fine for the last two weeks while we set it up, during rehearsal and during his normal playing at home. What a disaster at his first gig with the AX8. The unit kept...

    Something in 6/8. Breaking writer's block

    Really enjoyed this piece. Don't have to mention the guitar playing is excelIent, but I especially like the mix, everything just sounds full but has its own space to breath a bit. I'd pay for album of this :-)

    Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

    Did you have to trim the foam back on the top lid? I have the newer PT pro classic hard shell case and I can't close the lid .. Both the "foot block" bar on the top of the AX8 and the EV1 expression pedals are too high... I also have the AX8 at the lowest point on the frame..

    Migrating Axe-Fx II presets to AX8: my approach

    This comment should be a sticky and a crosspost in the AX8 area. I was pulling out what little hair on my noggin I had left, trying to figure out why my transferred settings to my AX8 were sounding so horrible. It was like I couldn't get a signal on my clean amps. Thank You for this and...

    AX8 - External Switches?

    On the MFC-101, I use some external switches for my scene changes. I took this approach as these footswitches get high usage during my playing and wanted to save some wear and tear on the main unit. The other main factor was to have something that had a better angle in a heal down position to...

    Kinda freaking out a little...

    I wanted to follow-up and state that system reset and firmware reload did not work for me. I gigged with it Friday night and feedback from audience and band members was that something was off. My guitar tone is never a concern with anyone and the axefx gets great compliments. I will roll back...

    Kinda freaking out a little...

    I'm in the same boat, I tried the update and my Friedman BE patches were off.. I mucked with saturation switch and it brought it back a bit but the levels were going to need tweaking so aborted it for now.. I tried an amp reset but no change. I know I've got something wrong but not sure what...

    Noise / squeal on smaller stages - solutions?

    I actually experienced this recently, but with just one downloaded patch. No issues at home but squeal like crazy at the gig. So bad, that if I just tapped the Floyd bar it would squeal. At my rehearsal I brought a laptop with axe edit and tried to diagnose. The only thing I could do to...

    The Power of Pre-EQ

    Thank you so much for this info!! I knew I was still missing something in my tone and now that I've heard the difference, I most certainly was. I added a Xotic EP Booster before the AxeFX as an attempt at a pre-eq. I had to back off on my input level, so I wasn't clipping but that's it...

    Humbuster with TRS to XLR

    Last gig i was having some issues with my output 2 to my monitor. Couldn't really figure it out and just went with another cable. I just realized today (doing my pre-gig cable test check), that the cable I used was a TRS to XLR and not a TS to XLR. Not sure how the heck I missed that. With...

    AXE FX II Country Style!

    Live Sound - Why am I struggling so much?

    Funny enough though.. the drummer is playing through a Roland E Kit so he can't boost himself that much. He hits like a monster no matter the timeframe (thus why they kind of forced him to go electronic), so I don't think he is the culprit :-) Regarding Tommy's question about using Out 2...

    Live Sound - Why am I struggling so much?

    I had tried the boost approach (ie have a 4 db boost between my standard patch and my leads), but I find that if I try to put anymore of a bump in there that I end up clipping my output signal. Usually my 4db boost is just under the threshold of clipping so I typically don't have any room...

    Pop/Country album Bass and guitars all Axe II FW 10

    External Switch - Another Solution using Digitech FS3X switch
