    L6 Powercab 112+ is the real deal

    I just got the Powercab 212+, and I'm really pleased with it, a couple of weeks in. So far, I've only used it with my Axe FX 2 once, in FRFR mode, and it sounded really good, better than my Yamaha DXR-12s, but maybe not quite as nice as my QSC K-10s. But I live near New Orleans, and...

    Owner of a Lonely Heart?

    I'm guessing there are several of y'all with Axe FX II patches using scenes for the different tones in this tune. I've never made one because I haven't been in a band that would play it. This weekend, I'm subbing on a large Casino gig, and it's in their set. I found a patch for the solo on Axe...

    Backup Help!

    Yes, I get that, but in order to get the MFC data onto my computer, I have to physically push the Edit switch on the unit. But I can't do that. The switch doesn't work. That's why I bought MFC Edit; I was hoping to bypass the issue of the broken switch by using the program.

    Backup Help!

    I need to edit a couple of things on my MFC (external switch assignments and such). But suddenly, my Edit switch no longer works. Before attempting the hassle of buying a new footswitch and swapping it out, I thought I'd download MFC Edit and do it my editing there. So I bought and installed...

    Crazy, intermittent volume changes

    I'm hoping this is a problem with the cable or the external footswitch (and not the MFC or--god forbid--the unit itself). For the last few months, I've noticed occasional swells or dips in volume while I'm playing. It was so intermittent that I let it slide, but over the last couple of gigs...

    The Scenes of my frustration

    Disclaimer: this thread starts out looking like it would be better placed in the MCF-101 Discussion section, but I'm putting it here because I'm ultimately asking for FX II programming suggestions. It took me awhile after my MCF-101 came in to decide how I wanted to set it up. I started with...

    Admission of Ignorance

    In a way, I'm glad I had to wait six months after getting the Axe before I got the MCF-101; it would have been even more intimidating to figure out both of them at once. By the time my MCF arrived, I at least had a handle on how to tweak patches the way I like them. In many ways, I've found...

    Yek's Presets for MkI/MkII (v15.03) and Blog

    Found what seems to be a quick fix: I just turned on "Copy Out1 to Out2" in the I/O Audio menu.

    Yek's Presets for MkI/MkII (v15.03) and Blog

    Here's a real dumb question: you said, "OUT2: Power Amp and Guitar Cab.The FXL block in each preset feeds a power amp and guitar cab through OUT2. No Cab simulation" My power amp just died, so tonight, I won't be playing output 2 through amp/cab; instead, I'll be going FR from both...

    Going from Stereo to Mono

    If any of your patches sound thinner in mono, you may have a phase issue happening when Left and Right are summed; that's what "Copy L to R" is for.

    Warning: Buy a Axe-FX II on ebay today (May 22?)

    Look at his seller information: his entire ebay history is 33 deals. I might buy a $7 iPhone 5 case from somebody with 33 deals, but a $2,000 piece of music gear? Really?

    Will another Axe-Fx II Firmware be released soon?

    Well, there it is. This is the sad truth that none of us wants to admit, isn't it? Given both the status of the Axe FX II as an "ultimate" guitar tone icon and the expense involved in assembling a complete Axe rig, I think it's safe to say that no one enters this particular club without...

    Wrecker now a wreck IMHO [solved]

    If none of those things work, you could always roll back to 7 or 8 (whichever was the last one that worked with the old Axe Edit). I know it feels like a big step back, but system 6 had just been released when I bought my Axe, and I remember thinking at the time that nothing could top system 7...
