    NMV JCM800

    Found out recently that Marshall made non-master volume JCM 800 amps in the 80's. The master volume versions were more popular so the non-master amps were kinda rare.

    Combo amp recommendations

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good combo amp. Due to weight lifting restrictions (30 lbs) it'd most likely have to be a 1x10 or 1x12 solid state unfortunately. In my history with the AxeFX III, I'm on my 4th problem and will be selling it once it's fixed. Hate to go this route but...

    Hiwatt - Pete Thorn

    Very cool video of Pete Thorn running a Cornish-modified Hiwatt borrowed from John Shanks. Played with the Axe3 Hiwatt using his settings and a variety of cabs - very nice results.

    Wish Echoplex Preamp

    Would love to see this one modeled. Having a discussion about it here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/echoplex-preamp.172552/#post-2085281 but it's not looking very likely that this can be duplicated in the Axe right now.

    Echoplex preamp

    Just wondering if there's a way to duplicate the subtle EQ boost of the pedal with the array of drive pedals we already have. Very subtle but to my ears, very effective too. Dunlop and a couple others make them but we've got so many to pick from in the AF3, I'm hoping there's a way to do it.

    Problem with momentary controller switch

    Having a problem getting a control switch set for momentary-on. Very odd because when I initially set up the switch (Flanger Bypass) the effect block goes into the bypass state. If I change to another preset and then go back to the desired preset, the flanger is on. Then I have to press the...

    Axe-Edit "loses" my preset names

    I recently had my Axe III replaced. The problem I'm having now is after I power on, from the outset I see my presets but after a minute or two, I see the factory preset names even though I restored my presets when I hooked the new unit up. It does load MY preset if I click on one of the...

    Very odd problem

    I've already written to Support about this but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or something similar. I plugged my Axe III into the house system & plugged in the FC-12 as usual for my gig today but my two high-gain presets had a loud hiss coming through the house system and my...

    RTA question

    I'm trying to run an external isolated guitar track through the RTA without much success. I've done tone matching this way with no problem, playing an MP3 or CD on my computer with the Axe as my soundcard.

    I received my repaired Fractal today but the system settings were wiped. I restored them from my latest backup (about 3 weeks old) & followed the prompt from Fractal Bot to reboot the Axe. I did so and everything's wiped out again FC-12 settings are gone too, just blank displays. Am I...

    Bad USB port?

    I'm guessing I have a bad USB port on the Axe. No connectivity to the PC, the control panel shows "no devices connected", AxeEdit doesn't see it either. I tried reinstalling the USB driver and AxeEdit, no good. Tried different USB ports on the computer as well. Also tried a new USB cable...

    Can the FC-12 do "song mode" like the MFC?

    When I had my AF2 / MFC, I had the Bank Up / Bank Down switches programmed to select specific patch numbers so I could just hit Bank Up to select the patch for the next song. It worked out very well since I could have the bottom row of switches select scenes & the rest to toggle effects, tap...

    3.4.0 -> 3.4.2 installation problem

    Opened CabLab & it told me an upgrade is available so I went ahead with the upgrade. About 5 minutes into it, I got a dialog box stating I'd have to purchase version 3. Then it wanted to uninstall "version 2". The original upgrade that included AxeFX III compatibility worked fine.

    Tone Match Problem

    Really loving the Axe III - and very pleased that for the most part my patches converted from my XL+. None of my tone match patches converted though - there seems to be no processing taking place in the TM block. Not a big deal, so I thought I'd just try and re-create one. Tried to do a match...
