Axe FX III 1/4 TS outputs to patchbay to interface?

Hey peeps, TL/DR: does it make a sound quality difference whether I use Axe FX III's (balanced) Output 1 XLR jacks or the 1/4" TS (unbalanced) into my UAD Apollo x4 recording interface? Would it be better to just buy a couple XLR female to TRS cables and use the XLR Output 1 jacks instead of...

Reamping while listening to other tracks in DAW?

I've successfully recorded a dry and wet track in my DAW, Studio One 5 Pro. The problem is, I'd like to be able to have all the other tracks playing while I tweak the Axe FX III. But since, as I understand it, and how I'm doing it, I have set the Axe FX III as my interface, and the main out of...

Axe Edit and Presonus Faderport..midi conflict?

I'm using Axe FX II standard, Axe Edit, Presonus Studio One 3 DAW, and Presonus Faderport transport controller. I don't recall this happening in the past, but today when I turned on Axe Edit, when I made any changes to a block, the Faderport would stop working. Sometimes the mouse buttons in...

after Quantum 3.03 to 6.03 update, feedback...

I've been away from guitar for a while (carpal tunnel). Came back and updated Axe FX II (standard) from Quantum 3.03 to 6.03. Now many presets with delay have "Feedback 1" parameter set to, say, negative 60%, and they just start echoing and won't stop. Turn up Feedback 1 to around zero, and...

midi thru - can the Axe FX ignore a controller, just pass midi messages?

My unit is the Axe-FX II Mark II, with the MFC-101 Mark II. I'd like to control the transport functions in my DAW (Studio One 3 running in Windows 10) with a Roland FC-300 midi foot controller I have lying around. I've plugged the FC-300 into the MIDI input of the Axe FX, and it is working...

import only one stock preset?

From Axe Edit tools menu, I was experimenting with "Axe Manage Presets" trying to swap locations between two presets, which generally works well, but I glitched it with an odd mouse click, and ended up overwriting one location with copy of the other preset, so now I have it in two locations...

Mouse-over tips

It would be nice if knobs and buttons in Axe-Edit had descriptions that popped up when one mouses over them.

4CM with FOH and an Axe-controlled monitor?

I played my second gig without my Bogner 4x12 cabinet, just using the Bogner XTC 20th head for the preamp. I have the Bogner head in the Axe FX's FX loop. That is, only the preamp of the Bogner head. Chain is like this.... guitar > Line6 G90 wireless > ISP Decimator Pro Rack G input 1 (via...

Fractal Bot is a tight little app!

Hello Fellow Fractalites! I hadn't updated firmware on either the MFC or the Axe II for a few months, as I was having a great time with 9.02. I was doing 4CM with my Bogner XTC 20th, and really loving it. Replaced all my stomps. I got the MFC and two mission pedals for wah and volume. Even that...

new Monster 5-pin MIDI cable - Axe FX Name Timeout!

I know there are already a few threads on this, but I have a somewhat unique (?) situation, so I thought I'd see if any of you can shed some light. I have just received brand new AXE II (FW 8.01) and MFC-101. I'm waiting for the Ethercon cable which should arrive today, but am using a new...

Anyone knowledgeable about this? I have the Bogner Ecstasy 20th anniversary. Just ordered Axe FX II. Have Roland FC-300 midi controller board. Can I use the FC-300 to switch channels on the Bogner with just the Medusa cable, or do I need anything else? How many of the seven 1/4 inch...
