    I'm trying to order a non-headphone FM3 but don't see any link on the purchase page...

    Learn from my mistake here: I was out of town on 4/27/19 when I saw the announcement for the FM3. I immediately, using my iphone, got on the waitlist. Now... I have been ordering from Fractal since Oct 2013 using my gmail account.. but because I was on my phone (I guess) my waitlist was entered...

    Should I go mono or stereo to FOH

    The way I do it that works great is out 1 xlr to the pa is sum l+r in the global I/O settings and out 2 (fx send) is stereo which goes to my frfr amp. Then use Out 1 volume control knob to pa and the Out 2 volume control for my personal stage amp volume.

    Should I go mono or stereo to FOH

    Works for me. I also asked Leon Todd who has a killer live tone with his AX8, (check out his you tube channel) and he agreed going mono with one xlr to the board seems to be closer to using an actual amp and cab than running stereo.

    Should I go mono or stereo to FOH

    For those who typically run mono presets live to FOH and just to be clear, only one xlr out is needed correct? I have always run stereo presets and use two xlr's to FOH but lately I am starting to think that a mono send from a single cab IR is a better way to go especially in smaller venues and...

    Global EQ?

    Ya I dug up the manual and read about the echo setting for Out 2. It was hard but I did it. o_O Thanks!

    Global EQ?

    So I have a 1/4" running from out 2 of the ax8 into my Matrix amp but no matter what I try I am not getting sound into my frfr cab. The out 2 volume knob is up on the ax8, what am I missing?

    Presets will not load

    Cool, thanks Moke!

    Presets will not load

    Whats the story on this Fractool thing? Is that really necessary to be able to take a .syx file and import it from a computer into into the ax8? It seems that as long as the firmware of the .syx file matches the firmware on the ax8 then ax8 edit should work just fine....I hope anyway.

    How big different between factory cabs and commercial cabs?

    Very helpful video, thanks I hope you will do more! I just got the AX8 and for some reason I can't seem to get axe edit and cab lab 3 to connect at the same time. There's probably some obvious step I'm forgetting. Any ideas?

    How to use OUT 2

    If I'm sending an OUT signal to both the mixing board (PA) and an frfr cab for stage volume does it matter which OUT goes to which input? OUT 1 or OUT 2?

    Going Direct to FOH

    I like "Null" myself on the cab block with a good mixed IR, run direct to the PA, set the axe fx volume as needed for the PA, and then with my Matrix amp I adjust the output volume and use the FRFR cab for my personal stage feel and sound. Then I adjust my stage monitor mix for preferred band...

    XL + GT1000FX + FR212 = Awesomeness!!!

    No I have not tried to mic the clr cab. So those of you using the Fr212 cab, and connecting the Axe Fx to FOH and/or mixer, I guess you just like the cab for the backline cab effect and stage volume? If you don't mind could you share some more about how you use this cab and run direct out? Thanks!!

    Best Way to BOOST Volume For Solos

    Does this affect the dreaded RED clip light of doom! I spend more time going through every part of my chain to balance and turn levels down, adjust input/output settings etc... it's crazy! I'm sure this would all be a lot easier if I was an Axe FX genius like some guys but sadly I'm not.
  44. Brogen72

    Best Way to BOOST Volume For Solos

    Come on guys...it can't be this complicated. The Axe FX will almost launch the friggin' space shuttle so to easily boost our solo's in a mid to high gain preset should be a simple thing to do w/o such deep editing!! IMO :numbness:

    Solo boost: Filter or Volume Pedal?

    OK so I have been using filters in scenes for solo boost in the past which i find can be a pain but it does work.

    Any tips on getting a loud clean boost??

    So far this is the best way I have found too. Filter block at the very end of the chain and turned on for Scene 3 with the level boosted until just before it clips. Scene 1 I use for a mostly dry amp setting like no chorus or delay just amp and reverb. Scene 2 I add chorus and delay so now I...

    EtherCon RJ45 Connector Plug?

    So I talked to Brad at BestTronics this week and he said there has been a bit of confusion on this cable so if you want to use the sturdier EtherCon cable and you have an updated MFC with the silver clip and circle on the ethernet port......but....your Axe FX only has the straight ethernet port...
  54. Brogen72

    EtherCon RJ45 Connector Plug?

    Exactly...only that "shield" does you no good w/o an adapter on the Axe FX - MFC port. That's my point. I would say it's more important to have the EtherCon ring fit the MFC side like it does but both sides are definitely ideal!
  55. Brogen72

    EtherCon RJ45 Connector Plug?

    Yep looks like that cable would work fine but on the Axe Fx side the cable is still not as connected and solid like it is on the MFC side. Faslink will solve this issue whenever that adapter is available...:fatigue:

    I have an MFC Mark III.

I ordered a standard Ethernet cable from BestTronics when I ordered the MFC and that works great...
  57. Brogen72
