    Question about presets.

    Ha, problem solved! Thanks:)
  2. Jason W.

    I can't seem to get ANY good tones?

    Have you adjusted your input level? Go to the I/O menu and dial your signal to where your just tickling the reds.

    Question about presets.

    Yeah, it was super easy, worked out well. Some of the presets I auditioned were completely blank though?

    Yeah, I mentioned this also, I wondered the same thing:)
  5. Jason W.

    Question about presets.

    Axe-Edit turned out to be a great move. Super easy, auditioning presets, importing, exporting etc.. Really good experience:) The only issue I had while auditioning presets, from axechange, was that some had absolutely no sound, just blank, even ones created with Quantum? Is this normal?

    I'm going to try this, but A. Gotta make sure whatever preset I choose is compatible with the Mark II, and B. Figure out how or where to put it after I have it in fractalbot.

    I feel like an idiot here, but I have never used axe-edit, nor ever downloaded a preset from axechange. I just updated my Mark II to 5.02 along with the latest preset banks, but I also would like to grab a couple presets from axechange. Is it possible, without using axe-edit, to download a...

    I have a Mark II and haven't been on the forum in quite a while, and haven't updated since the 1st quantum. If I'm going to update to 5.02, do I update the preset banks first or the firmware, or does it even matter? Thanks

    So after I install this firmware there is no need to update amps or presets.. It's install firmware and done?

    Axe-Fx II Update 15.07 Is it work like a charm?

    It seems that most of the time when people have issues/bugs, is when they use axe edit, regardless of firmware. I have never used axe edit since my purchase a couple of years ago, I may be missing out on some stuff, but it doesn't seem worth it when quite a few users attribute their problems...

    Unnatural sound change after FW update

    Since I've learned how to update my firmware a couple weeks ago maybe, (got no computer skills), I've questioned myself a lot on how it should be sounding. It sounds good though. A couple metal tones and clean tones.. that's all I need! Now I just need to learn how to save other people's presets...

    Unnatural sound change after FW update

    You must have a Cab block after the Amp block, without it just sounds like ass. That nasty type of distortion your hearing is what an Amp really sounds like without a Cab. The presets are just a starting point, so I agree with you that most of them sound kind of messy, but after a little...

    Quick question..

    I don’t use axe edit, but I just restored the banks with the bot, thanks for the info though.
  43. Jason W.

    Quick question..

    No replies. No way to restore one factory preset? I guess I'll just update all of em.
  44. Jason W.

    Quick question..

    Can I restore a single preset that I'd overwritten back to it's factory settings? Also, I've only messed with 1 or 2 factory presets, so if this can't be done I will just update all presets. Thanks.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    I haven't saved even one preset, just going from scratch. All I need is a couple good cleans, a lead sound, and super tight heavy tone and I'm good. I'll probably work on it tomorrow.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    When I go to layout and select an amp block, it will show the following tabs.. pwr, spkr, eq, dyn, etc.. If dynamics was removed from the amp block, wouldn't the "dyn" tab and all parameters be gone? Or just their functionality?
  51. Jason W.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    Whoa, I didn't know that! I've read about others re-installing the same firmware a few times, because they think is doesn't sound right the 1st or 2nd time. I'll keep it where it is. Thanks! And about the dynamics page in the amp block, am I supposed to still see that on the screen even though...
  52. Jason W.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    @ Mark's Tone, in the release notes it says "The default value is 0 dB and is set to that upon System Reset." What does that mean exactly, system reset? Factory reset? Turning the unit off then on again? What's weird is that I never dialed back the noisegate offset from -40.00 to 0.00, not even...

  55. Jason W.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    Did you have to reset your noisegate from -40.00 to 0.00 db after each time you re-installed the fw?
  56. Jason W.

    From 9.02 to 14.02 to 13.07 to 14.02 again..

    I started with 9.02 then finally updated to 14.02. Now on this very 1st update, the global noisegate offset was set to -40.00 db, and I'd read to set it to 0.00 db. Instead, I decided to check out 13.07 after reading someone's post about how they liked it over 14.02. So I checked it out, and...

    High gain patches now squealing with 14.02 update [NOT A BUG]

    After reinstalling 14.02, my global noisegate offset automatically set itself to 0.00 db, only the first time I downloaded the fw did I ever see the -40.00 db? 14.02 still shows a dynamics control too, which I thought was removed from the amp block with this fw?

    New axefx II owner: High gain patches sound flubby and farty

    +1 for v9.02. I'm really picky about my heavy tones, and after reading so many threads about issues with v10 I probably will never update. v9.02 sounds pretty amazing to me, I have got some super tight and heavy tones, you'll probably still have to tweak it to taste. v9.02 didn't (in my opinion)...

  87. Jason W.

    how do you guys carry the axefx if you dont have a case yet???

    Making your own rack case seems like way too much work. Just get a 2U Gator rack bag, or a 3U case if you have a power conditioner, as they are fairly inexpensive. For now, like the other poster said, it'll be fine in it's box.
