    Remove Legacy Version Option from Firmware - Mark l/Mark ll

    [SOLVED] Q3.02 AMP2 XY state

    I ended up doing a full reset of the MFC and the issue seems to have gone away. I haven't made any changes but something must have been set wrong. Thanks for the help, this thread can probably be closed.

    [SOLVED] Q3.02 AMP2 XY state

    [SOLVED] Q3.02 AMP2 XY state

    I save AMP 2 state as X and then I switch to scene 3 and back to scene 1 and now the state switches to Y. Seems to only be on AMP 2, this is with AXE-EDIT and MFC connected. If the MFC is not connected it doesn't seem to exhibit this behavior. *I should add that this is when I change scenes...

    [SOLVED] Q3.02 AMP2 XY state

    I'm having and issue which I think is a bug. I save a few scenes with both AMP blocks set to the X setting. When I select the preset and select say scene 3 then go back to scene 1 it changes the AMP block 2 to the Y setting. Is anyone else seeing this?

    Help making Floyd Rose Flutter FX with Axe-Fx II

    This might be hard to accomplish digitally. As far as I know the flutter comes from pushing or pulling the bar and letting it go very hard. This violently makes the bridge go up and down with the spring vs string tension. Steve Vai does this and often breaks bridges. You would have to make a...

    Who uses a basic signal chain?

    This is exactly how I run and it works great. I like having a second amp that's clean so I get seamless switching. I usually run 4 scenes; CLEAN, Little breakup or a special sound, rhythm, lead. I dont notice a huge difference or at all between the resolution.

    Electric acoustic guitar that works with the Axe Fx II

    I play with one of the original run Parker nitefly's that I picked up used for about $600. Its an electric with the piezo pickup system. Sounds pretty good and you can tweak it in the AXE, over all I'm pretty happy with it. Some of what it may lack in sound is made up in its versatility.

    Expression Pedal Stopped Working

    I don't think the AXE has a polarity setting, the actual expression pedal does. That mission pedal has a switch to change polarity to work with other units.

    The 'Best' use of Scenes - Discuss :o)

    I usually have one preset that I use to cover all my basic sounds: clean, rhythm, lead. I will also make presets on a per song basis if I need different effects or specific delay times.

    Low-output pickups and Axe-Fx II

    I would just use the stock presets for ideas on sounds and routing options. Tweak them to fit your guitar. I would just run and change pickups, the axe is flexable enough to do what you want with your current ones. You could try turning up input trim. All guitars sound different so I wouldn't...

    set,song mode and Scenes????????

    Do you have an MFC? Scenes are per preset that doesn't change. I usually play a 5 song set every week. So I make a set with 5 songs so when I scroll up through presets it only goes between those 5 songs in my set. I forget how many sets you can make but its something like 50. So you'd program...

    One thing too I've noticed sometimes is to make sure when you save scenes that your muted amp block isn't changing its X/Y state.

    Scene Latency

    From what I understand changing XY state scene to scene can cause audio gaps, which is why I try to avoid doing that. I noticed gaps in FW 10 changing XY.

    Which Mission Pedal to use with Axefx ??

    The "r" means reverse polarity, you don't need it with the Axe FX.

    Tuner isn't helping to tune at all.

    I use the tuner on the MFC every single week. Not one complaint and I don't use any special tricks, I mostly tune on the bridge pickup. I can't look at the front panel because my axe is tucked away so I use MFC display exclusively.

    Is it normal?

    I would say this isn't out of the ordinary. People make patches for their guitar and setup, which most definitely differs from yours. Try lowering the level parameter in the amp block and see if your guitar is tickling the red.

    How long do you listen to a particular patch and at what volume? I know ear fatigue can be a factor. I also struggle with what I think sounds good. I'm always tweaking my sounds.

    Scene Changes and the MFC

    This is exactly what I plan on doing. Scenes is such a great was to control your sounds you can play several songs with just one preset. I also use the MFC in set mode so up/down cycles through my songs week to week and I'm not searching for presets.

    new to all things axe and have a question regarding effects bypass & modifiers

    What are you trying to do exactly? Modifiers let you control parameters in the axe. If you're just looking to turn effects on and off look in the midi control menu to see what the cc# is for the effect you want on/off.
  65. H

    Some uses for an expression pedal

    Pretty sure R means reverse polarity. There is a switch on that model to change it. You don't use it with the axe fx so unless you plan to use it for other things you don't need it.
  66. H

    Some uses for an expression pedal

    Either one works great I great, I have both. The EP1 is just an expression pedal, the SP1 is an expression plus a switch so you can use it as wah/volume and similar functions.

    Sound like Metalcore (patch inside)

    Clean amp ..?!

    I tend to agree I haven't had as much luck with a real clean sound cutting in a live mix. For humbuckers I lower the input trim and use a split position. I've been liking the AC30 TB.

    Pedals, pedals, pedals

    I initially went with 2. I have since decided to add a third, this way I can have dedicated wah and volume and one to control other parameters.
