    Welcome ANDY SUMMERS

    I really hope I got the ball rolling on this when I pushed the Axe Fx 2 on Andy Summers on his live reddit chat last year. He said he was interested and I asked Fractal to follow up which they said they were going to do. Im looking for zero reward here. Andy Summers is my guitar god and I...

    Love my new Axe FX XL+, but I'm hearing random clicks or crackles...

    Yes some presets clearly pop and others are completely silent. I tried to compare ones that pop to others that do not while finding no explanation for the difference. I do know the CPU was never the issue as they were well below 90%. Cliff once said it might be the input volume being too loud...

    Love my new Axe FX XL+, but I'm hearing random clicks or crackles...

    I experience the same issue where the presets make the popping noises even with my input gate lowered but it's only some of them that do it. Strangely enough custom presets I import never have an issue. Also this is happening for me on patches well below 90%.

    Unexplained popping noise out of monitors for many presets

    Thanks for the advice. Before taking it I installed the new beta firmware and without adjusting anything as per your suggestion I tried most of the factory presets at the same volumes as yesterday and I experienced no popping noises out of my monitors. Does this make any sense to you at all...

    How many of you use REAL cabs still?

    I play out of 4 Mesa Boogie 4*12 cabs (two front and two back) out of my sound proof music studio I built in my house. Despite this I always play with amp sims on because frankly it sounds way better!

    Setting up Mesa Simul Class Two/Ninety/Two with the AxeFx?

    Pedal in the fx loop hiss. Newbie question.

  39. R

    Pedal in the fx loop hiss. Newbie question.

    You have to put a noise gate after the amp and cab block but before the reverb, delay etc. I use many pedals with the loop and experience this problem often. You need to play with the gate settings and even try the various input options in said gate settings. All my pedals are dead quiet now yet...

    Preamp into Tonematch block!

    Interesting. I also use a Mesa 2:90 and still find the cab blocks way better. Any chance you just havent experimented with enough blocks? Perhaps its just preference or something is wrong with my cabs but to me there is no comparison. Either way as along as you are happy my fellow Mesa brotha!

    Preamp into Tonematch block!

    Start using cab blocks! I play out of four mesa 4*12 cabs (loud) and still prefer the cab block sims. Seems crazy to not use them. But yes a solution for when you want just cabs is cool too.
