    a Christmas gift the community: Perfected Tuning offsets

    I’ve recently experimented with the offsets, sometimes disabling between sets, I feel like chords and single note stuff both benefit from the offset tuning. Thanks for the gift!

    Cab Block FRFR Question

    My live presets have the cab block near the end of the chain going into output 1, I add an output 2 block and run everything minus the cab block to it, so Output 1 is my direct send and Output 2 feeds my power amp/cab.

    Thank you!

    John Petrucci interview discussing the use of his Axe-Fx III

    If I had a guitar tech to load and set up/ tear down my rig, I would only use real amps. Unfortunately, I’ve been the roadie for the last 40 years so...

    Formant trickery

    The mic and tube have nothing to do with the talk box effect, except for visual impact. What you’re hearing is all Fractal. My signal path is guitar to pedalboard to Axe FX to PA.

    Stupid question probably, but is there anyway to simulate a Talkbox that doesn't sound like crap?

    I think the fake tube running down my mic stand and connected to nothing really sold it though 🤣

    Bug? Name timeout issue on the MFC Q2.04

    The days of simple troubleshooting tricks like changing a battery or swapping out a patch cord still exist, but trying to figure things like this "name timeout" issue out are beyond me. After my last gig, I deleted the Q2.04 files I originally loaded, download a "fresh" Q2.04, reset my MFC via...

    Bug? Name timeout issue on the MFC Q2.04

    Well crap, I guess I don't know then. When I downloaded Q2.04 I thought that 3.08 for the MFC was new so I downloaded it as well, I must have missed the release date. I bought my MFC in November or December of 2015 so it should have already been running 3.08. Just when you think you're on to...

    Bug? Name timeout issue on the MFC Q2.04

    I think the issue is with the update to the MFC, not the AxeFx firmware. That's why I was asking if the firmware that shipped with my MFC Mark III was still available.I moved from using a VoodooLab GCP to control my AxeFX but experienced some lock ups, it was suggested by Fractal that the GCP...

    Bug? Name timeout issue on the MFC Q2.04

    I had a name timeout issue Saturday night mid-gig. I had loaded Q2.04 and updated my MFC to current, almost Immediately the name timeout issues occurred, so I rolled my AxeFX back to Q2.02 and didn't have any issues up until the gig. The fix was simple, I noticed whatever I tried calling up on...

    Pit gig in ears, no monitor, lead sounds

    Something I do when I'm tracking single note legato leads with feedback, in a quiet room, is to put my headphones on my guitar's body. They resonate your guitar in the same way, sort of, that a loud cab does. It's cumbersome but seems to do the trick.

    NEED SOME HELP!

    I ended up having another lock up during the gig, only this time it locked up and froze on a preset that I've modified and use instead of freezing on a factory preset. Some other behaviors I noticed were, just before the lockup it seemed like there was a noticeable amount of latency and when it...

    NEED SOME HELP!

    About a month ago, St. Patrick's day, I was in the middle of a gig and had my AxeFX MarkII lock up on a factory preset, #103 Mr Benson, which I don't use, I build all my presets from scratch. I submitted a ticket to support, was called back in a very timely manner by a tech, Charlie I think, and...

    Well, I was close. And yes, I'm taking vacation Monday just so I can run FW 18 on St. Patrick's Day!

    Mission EP11S with GCP

    In an attempt to eliminate another noisy pedals from my pedalboard, Digitech Whammy, I decided to use my EP11S to control the pitch block in my AxeFX Mark2. I had the EP11 set with the polarity switch under the treadle in the forward position, which works great for controlling the Wah block in a...

    FW 18 Release Notes please?

    I think I can predict when FW 18 will be released. It will be the Friday before St.Patrick's day because I have a gig then and will have no time the weekend before to update.

    Formant trickery

    Exactly!!! I shared my version of the Man in a Box preset on Axe Exchange, can't remember what I changed from the stock preset #332, probably the amp eq and level. My point was to use the tube as a prop, it wasn't attached to anything, the effect is all Fractal and it controls itself. It's...

    Formant trickery

    I will get the patch on Axe Exchange later this evening. My wife always busts my junk for not setting up the talk box, a Rocktron Banshee. It adds about 25lbs. to my pedalboard and only gets used for 1 solo and a few random endings. After my experiment, I realized the Formant block could more...

    Formant trickery

    I've been playing around with the "man in a box" preset to see if I could eliminate one more heavy, infrequently used pedal from my board. I still ran the tube up my mic stand for " visual effect". ;) Fractal Formant trickery - YouTube The video is labelled Fractal Formant Trickery incase...

    Anyone using In-Ears as your main stage monitor?

    It somewhat depends on the type of music you play. I've played some fill-in gigs with a country cover band and only used my in-ears but when I play with my prog-new metal cover band I find that I need a floor wedge so that I can get feedback and the sonic interaction you only get fom having a...

    I just wish Axe Edit would display actual controls for Amp Block

    Two of the best resources here are Cliff's Notes and YouTube vids by Scott Peterson. I came into the Fractal fold about a year ago and remember being ovewhelmed with all the options compared to the 11Rack I had been using. Keep it simple and enjoy the TONE!

    FRFR Frustration

    I went to in-ears about a year ago and don't think I'll ever go back. I still use a wedge monitor but it only has my guitar in it, that way I can get the feel and feedback one would associate with having a loud amp onstage. The in-ears take time to dial in but once you get there they really...

    New Amp that Roars

    Input Trim - Multiple Guitars

    And now for a totally different direction... I use three different guitars for tuning requirements and tonal variation and I found by adjusting pickup height, I can get all three very close to the same input level.

    Ground Control Pro w/ AxeFX 2

    Hey, I'm having a hard time trying to decide how to set up the GCP to control my AxeFX 2. In the past I've used it in the "4 presets per bank" mode to control an ElevenRack( the 4 bottom row buttons change presets while the 2 top rows bypass effects). The bank up/down buttons let you choose...

    Ease of using AxeFX VS. 11 Rack?

    Hi, I'm thinking of jumping from my 11 rack to a Ultra or version 2 and wondered if anyone else has any input about the ease of navigating the two ( ultra and II) compared to the 11 rack. Need to move away from the 11 rack due to some recent abnormal behavior. I apologize in advance if this has...
