Pete Thorn and FX8

Pete Thorn continues his series of excellent and informative videos with a recent one that demonstrates a pedal board similar to his own. While the focus of the video is the board and controller, there is an FX8 lurking beneath his desk that is visible many times during the video, perhaps best...

Great/funny video

This morning I ran across a video on hugeracksinc that is worth sharing. It is yet another take on the Hitler rant parodies that discusses his inability to ship a large Bradshaw rack. However, the best part is at around 2:59 and it's worth a watch for that alone. Of course this parody is...

Sound cutting out

Yesterday I was showing off my FXII to my wife when I encountered a problem for the first time. After playing for several minutes and stomping liberally on my MFC101 to demonstrate the versatility of this magic box, the sound disappeared. My power amp indicated that the FXII output was zero...

Help with external switches

I just got around to wiring up two Boss FS-6 dual switches for my MFC-101 and I am encountering a problem that has me stumped. I have switches 1 and 2 configured to control the looper and they work fine but I cannot get switches 3 and 4 to work at all. I checked my cables and switches with an...

Lesson learned

I thought I would share this experience with the hope of saving others the frustration I experienced today. This morning I had some time so I set out to make some cables for my MFC-101 and Mission pedals. I completed one cable and found a short between the ring and sleeve of one plug...

Guitar stores in NY city

In a couple of weeks I am going to NYC with some friends for a bachelor party. During the day Saturday they want to visit MOMA and I plan to visit cool guitar stores. Can anyone recommend some that I absolutely have to see?

Pedal board advice

While I am waiting for my MFC-101 I am planning the board it will be part of. I intend to have two Mission expression pedals (I already have an SP-1 and an EP-1) and I will likely also incorporate four switches to maximize flexibility. It would be nice to have room for another outboard effect...

Is it safe to assume there will be no changes to the MFC?

I have been waiting for my MFC-101 for a while and I am anxious to start building a pedal board for it. However, the lag has me wondering if any changes are afoot that will make my soon to be prebuilt board useless. It is conceivable that the controller will be resized or altered physically so...

Mission Engineering SP-1 as external switch

I seem to remember reading a message from the guys at Mission Engineering explaining why the switch in the SP-1 must be connected to the MFC-101 as an expression pedal rather than an external switch. In that same message he explained that you could rewire the switch to make it look like an...

Question about usb and midi

I need to send midi signals from my computer to another piece of gear in my rack. Can I send them via the usb connection to my FX II and pass them through the midi out port of my FX II, thereby using the FX II like a usb to midi converter? If I can do that I'll be able to set things up this...

Axe FX II send/return level question

This week I wired up my Axe FX II in a rack with some other stuff including an Eleven Rack. I have the 11R in the fx loop of the FX II with the send of the FX II into the rear inputs of the 11R and the main outs of the 11R back into the fx return of the FX II. Before I power everything up I am...

Advice needed.

A couple of weeks ago I received my FX II and I am totally on board with the flexibility and playability of this unit. It really is quite amazing. I am about to build a small rack to support it but I am not sure what other gear to include. I have a Carvin amp, two actually, that I am very...
