    KSR Gemini channel changes via FX8 MKI

    Ok, got my amazing KSR Gemini and FX8 MKI. I have the FX8 hooked from MIDI OUT/THRU to MIDI IN on the KSR. I’ve read through the manual of both and can’t seem to work it out. The KSR says to simply select your setting per preset, and then hit store, which I have done. However, nothing actually...

    Getting a lot of noise with FX8 MK I

    I’m using the 4CM without using Humbuster cables. My amp is very high quality with a great loop (Carol-Ann Triptik 2). It sounds a bit like 60 cycle hum. Once I disengage the loop on my amp, it goes away, so it is definitely isolated to the loop. Running the pedalboard Pre, I have the cleanest...

    Can anyone help approximate a Small Clone?

    I’m new to this whole Fractal thing, and I can’t imagine this is a particularly tough pedal to clone, I can’t get the hang of it. Any takers?

    Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. cover

    Big fan of PT and SW. Very nice cover! A little more reverb on the vocals can help stick them to the track a bit more. You have a great voice. Why not use the Bad Kitty instead of the JVM?

    Can someone please help me with setting up my AXE-Fx II with Cubase Elements

    The issue isn't actually the Axe. I can get some very killer tones. It is my unfamiliarity with Cubase and a hardware issue (using the Axe as an interface, as opposed to using an outboard interface). When I purchased the Axe, I thought it would work with Garageband, but it doesn't. So I dl'ed...

    Can someone please help me with setting up my AXE-Fx II with Cubase Elements

    Running an up-to-date Macbook Pro. I need setup from front to back, with detailed instructions. I'm getting really frustrated and am wanting to go back to amps. The Axe itself is great, and with some tweaking, I'm sure I could get what I want out of the unit. However, I'm starting to wonder if...

    First shot with the Axe FX.

    The doubling effect was just an experiment with adding lots of tracks that didn't turn out well. It was too drastic.

    First shot with the Axe FX.

    It isn't nearly as fast as it needs to be, and there is probably just a tad too much gain on the tracks. Song is "Forsake Not The Dream" by Trivium. 5150 Block and 6505 through ML Sound Recto IRs. The goal is just to get a sample of where I'm at with the tone.

    n00b having issues with Garageband

    It does sound like interface latency, but the Axe is my interface. I don't think it is the Axe, either. I think it is something I've got set some way or even that Garageband just sucks with the Axe (maybe due to 44.1 vs. 48?)

    My AFXII was delivered on Friday, and I love it! Great tone, great feel, lots of cool options for a knob-turner like myself. However, I am getting a delay of about 1 sec after playing for 15 minutes. I am using it as an interface to work with Garageband through USB. I changed the USB cable...

    Finally got my Axe FX 2 XL+ today. Did overnight shipping and paid through the teeth, lol. So far, I am really impressed with the build quality. I am at work, which would stop most mere mortals, but I went home to get it and am gonna give it a spin on my lunch break.

    Pretty great. I love the simpler sounds with the Axe FX 2. Because of how amazing it is, there is a lot of crazy patches, but I'm a sucker for the simpler stuff.

    Don't have an Axe

    But I am looking to see how some of the amps made the transition from G3 and Quantum. I have an asinine request of the board. Can anyone throw up some clips of Q1 Bogner XTC, Carol Ann OD2, Triptik, and the CAE Pre? Just a couple simple chords and a bit of a lead would be great.

    Axe FX II and the FX

    Are the modulation FX based on specific models of pedals, or are they generic with a lot of options for molding the parameters? What I mean is, does the Chorus model something like a CE-1, or do the parameters allow you to reach a reasonable facsimile? If it is the latter, could specific models...

    Would it be worth it? There are a few amps that I love on the Axe Fx II (ok, more than a few :)) that I would like to change the power amp on to get some different tones. Would be cool to use different preamps with the CAE model, the Triaxis model, and the JMP preamp, as well. Speaking of...
