    Axe Fx II arrived today, help a newb out

    As strat714 has said, you can use a CAT5 / standard Ethernet cable to connect the MFC. The same cable you may use to plug your computer into the internet. As someone else has said, be *very* careful to plug it into the correct ports on the MFC and Axe, don't get confused with the square USB...

    When Will There Be An Updated Owner's Manual?

    For those who are urging a new printed manual: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/officejet-6100-network-ready-wireless-eprinter/5510989.p?id=1218651679644&skuId=5510989&st=categoryid$abcat0511002&cp=1&lp=2 For the rest of us, regular updates of a PDF manual would be great. No manual is...

    Re-installed driver, not connecting

    Is there a chance this is the problem? USB has a length limitation - I believe it's around 15 feet, someone may correct me - after which it gets flaky. "Clotheslining" a number of them together may reduce this max length a bit since connectors can be lossy. The reason we pay so much for the...

    A-Z preset list in FW 11

    I updated Fractal-Bot from 1.24 to 1.25, uploaded the V11 presets as separate A/B/C files, restarted the Axe, and things look OK now.

    A-Z preset list in FW 11

    All of ten minutes with FW11 so far, but I can already hear the differences. Nice! However, when I scroll in the A-Z listing and press Enter on 119 Nameless Streets I get 119 Jim and Leo. If I scroll to 222 Jim and Leo in the A-Z listing and press Enter I get 222 Nameless Streets! I...

    thank you to everyone here for making my first big show a huge success :)

    Congratulations, looks great. Where can people who don't do Facebook hear what you sound like? The only things on YouTube under "popsicle" seem to be frozen treats and '60s shillers.

    What Power Amp? Matrix GT1000FX or VHT/Fryette 2502 for Home Use

    Tex, I've never heard a Fryette but suggest that you want an amp that is as flat as possible to use with your new Axe. No coloration at all, since some of the wide array of amp models in the Axe may not sound as they should if your amp is adding colors to the tone. I have a Matrix 1500, and my...

    Megadeth mention of Axe-FX II and Matrix in Guitar World

    It wasn't clear from your question about "standard power amp" that you were asking only about flat studio power amps. Sorry, I have not owned (or knowingly heard) a flat amp from the companies you list. The Matrix is very good. For "best" you should listen for yourself.

    Megadeth mention of Axe-FX II and Matrix in Guitar World

    I have a Boogie Mark V and just sold a Marshall JVM and an Egnater 4100. All three get good reviews for the natural sound of their clean channels, but all have their own characters and add their colors to the output of the Axe II, especially when cranked. It's not always a bad thing, but...

    New Cooling Fan in Axe II

    Everything is relative. When the Matrix GT1500 power amp is turned off here, the silence seems deafening, can't hear the Axe. If anyone has suggestions for quieter fans for the Matrix amps...

    Version 10.00 Stuff

    Well, I don't want to go against the flow here, but I'm pretty disappointed in the news of Version 10's features. I felt sure that by Version 10 the Axe II would play the guitar for me, better than I can. It's getting hard to imagine how Version 11 could be better, so the auto-play feature...

    The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

    I'm seeing the "server busy" message a lot too... it's not the users' fault! Fractal is doing a server upgrade towards the end of the month. While they're at it, I hope they will make it easier to get around to the different sites they run. It should be much easier to get from this forum...

    Anyone used SnapJack Cables?

    Yup, I've used a couple of them for about three years, very convenient. I've JUST replaced them with cables made from Evidence Audio's Reveal cable (I'm rebuilding entire system with that cable) and soldered plugs. I can hear an improvement with the Reveal but it's not night-and-day over the...

    Uh-ohh! Startup failure

    Today on startup the Axe II froze, most LEDs blazing with a blank display for about fifteen seconds, then the display showed a mottled grey pattern and stayed there. I shut it off for ten seconds, and it then started normally. My Axe II is just weeks old, tenderly transported by me from the...

    Axe-FX II Preset Report Generator

    CyberFerret, thanks for your effort, and for donating it. Your low price (free!) doesn't stop the impulse to make suggestions... hope you won't feel like rolling your eyes! It would be great if your software could process files containing multiple presets, such as the factory preset SYX files...

    The first ever Extension Module for MFC-101 !

    Why just four switches? If you're going to "go in for a penny, go in for a pound"! Have a look at the Axess Electronics system (no longer in production) in pictures about half way down the page at the following link: HRI An expansion box with a dozen switches (or 15, or 18, or 21!)...

    MFC control Axe II and audio switcher

    Apologies, I know that flavors of this question have been posed a few times already, I've read those threads. I'm still not getting it. I want to add an RJM Rack Gizmo or Effect Gizmo or maybe Voodoo Lab GCX. Purpose (1) use a MIDI-capable Marshall amp & cabs sometimes without going through...
