    FRFR Options CLR vs ?

    I've read all the threads and searched too, but looking for more info and reviews on some of the less talked about FRFR options. Mission Gemini 1 or 2 Accugroove Xitone ???? I played the RCF NX-12SMA extensively and think it's a pretty solid option. And a friend and RCF user I know just got...

    Another Cliff and Fractal Rock Thread

    I know it's said all the time here, but I just want to thank Cliff and the whole FAS team for their crazed dedication to the Axe Fx! In another thread, a poster said he was irritated now he was gonna have to rework patches again with G3, commenting to the effect that if MIMIC was the end all be...

    Sat Switch and new Sat Level Question

    I was wondering if the Sat Switch can be toggled on/off via CC message? Now that the amount of Saturation can be set, seems like it would be nice to be able to switch this on/off on the fly. I'm not in front of Axe, but can't recall if this is possible. Sent from my iPhone

    Another Cool Controller!

    Mastermind PBC Pedalboard Controller and Audio Loop Switcher - RJM Music Technology, Inc. This looks awesome for someone combining pedals with Axe or for someone looking to still use pedals and amp at times.

    Adjusting Scene Volume 17.02

    I could be wrong, but I thought on previous firmware when you were in the Output Mixer, you could adjust each Scene's Volume by using the A knob to switch Scenes. Thought before it stayed on Mixer page, and you could quickly adjust Volume between Scenes using the Main fader, use A knob and...

    Using CC Messages

    Trying to maximize CC messages sent on MFC to control modifiers. I currently have MFC setup with Axe Fx IA's set to None. This gives me 2 CC messages I can send. 1 gets assigned to select the Scene, but it gives me an additional CC message I can send, controlling a modifier per Scene. Goal...

    Volume Block

    Ok....stupid question I know, but I've read Wiki and Manual and still not getting it. Basically just want to Pan between a Shunt and a Drive block in Parallel. Leave Drive on all the time, just choose between Shunt and Drive with Pan control. I can do it with Mixer, but don't need other 2...

    Trouble with drive pedals FW15

    May not be a FW issue at all, just error on my part. I'm using the Double Verb as a clean amp, input drive and trim around 3. Other than BMT, amp is set to defaults. Sounds great with single coils using the Ultra Res TAF Shadow Mix for cab. Bass cut on cab to about 125hz. I'm using the ACB or...

    GigWrx Fx Labels for MKIII!

    New info for MkIII owners. We have a solution to our labels being too snug of a fit for the new MKIII. The footswitch nuts on the MkIII have a slightly larger outside diameter than the nuts that came on the MKI and MKII. The great news is that the nuts from all versions are interchangeable...

    Can't select scenes.

    I screwed something up, lol. Had 6 scenes set up and was able to select them via MFC, no problems. Was checking controller assignments on Axe and turned off IA14 on MFC because it wasn't in use. Now when I hit Scene 2, 3, 4 etc on MFC, the display shows the right Scene, but the switches green...

    Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, etc

    Are these all interchangeable as far as connectors and function? From what I've read, both use the RJ45 connector, and the "e" is shielded. Cat5 is good for 100Mhz, Cat6 1000Mhz. Can a Cat6 cable be used with the Axe II? Anyone have a source for a high quality 25-50', Right Angle or swivel...

    Cab recommendations

    I'm going to get one of the OH Studio Mix packs but can only afford one right now. I play a Strat with Single Coils, and am not really into the high gain stuff much. I've been playing the Fender and Vox amps primarily, but for lead work and medium gain stuff have been using the FAS Brown, Carol...

    All LED's lit, screen blank

    I know I've seen reference to this on forum before, couldn't find it today though. Upgraded to V11, loaded banks A & B, got AE up and running......all was right in the world. Went to have lunch and left Axe on, came back about 30 minutes later and all LED's were lit up, screen was mostly blank...

    Vibroking question?

    Using 11b, loaded vibroking today and noticed it defaults to having Hi Cut instead of Presence like rest of Fender amps. Damping is obviously 0, just wondering if this is correct for this amp? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    FW10.11b and 10.12

    Sure it's been answered, I've seen a few posts and the release notes for 10.12. Is 10.12 just the non beta version of 11b? All the fixes, additions etc. listed in release notes for 12 seem to be in the 11b version I have. I'll download 12, but just wanted to check if this was just the final...

    Help with hum issue

    At a gig the other night, had a bad hum coming through the RCF powered wedge, as well as, the FOH. I use a Furman power supply so rarely if ever have hum issues running the Axe. I tried the ground lift on back of Axe, no luck. The club has a neon light with the club name on wall behind stage...

From there I'm running into a Mixer, with Channel 2 panned hard left and Channel 3 panned hard right, into a Stereo Cabinet block. My goal is to have each amp see it's own cabinet. Having...

    Question On Reducing CPU

    I'm currently running 2 amps into 2 cabs into 2 GEQ's, then a mixer with a modifier attached to Expression Pedal to blend between the amps. The GEQ's are used with a modifier to turn both on at same time, giving me the ability to switch between Clean Lead and Distorted Lead tone with the same...

    Tone Matching just the Amp, not the Speaker?

    Going this week to a buddy's house to tone match a bunch of cool amps. I know this has been asked somewhere before, but my search didn't bring up an answer for me. How can I tone match an amp without matching the speaker as well? If I mic the cab, the TM would include the speaker, and I'm...

    Help with RCF NX-12sma

    Tuner Still Not Working With MFC

    Posted earlier, but I guess the post was removed. I have an Axe2 running 9.02 and a new MFC-101 now running 2.15. All factory defaults for MFC. When I press IA17, the tuner comes up on the front panel of the Axe2, but the display on the MFC says "Waiting For Tuner". Can't get the tuner to...

    Midi OX question for Midi Noob

    Is it possible to power the Rocktron Raider with the Cat5 Port on Axe 2?

    I have a Rocktron Midi Raider that I am currently powering via phantom power on Axe 2. The Midi Raider uses a 9VAC adaptor, and the specs show the pedal needs a supply rated at 1100MA or higher. The adaptor Rocktron supplies is actually 9VAC, 2000MA. The MFC-101 also uses a 9VAC adaptor and...

    Amp X/Y not saving correctly in 8.0

    Was creating patches for 8.0 tonight. I wanted to retrieve Amp 1 from one patch and save to another. The Y amp keeps defaulting to 65 Bassguy, and even the settings, ie. gain, master etc, are not saving correctly in the X amp either. This was through the front panel. I connected to Axe Edit to...
