Stuck on boot: “Initializing GUI”

No. I have a FC-6 connected at times but not not every time it has happened. But I do have the USB cable connected every time I have turned the AXE FX on and the problem occurred.

Stuck on boot: “Initializing GUI”

Cliff, thank you for the information. It happened again today and it took me 3-4 tries holding down the HOME button before it booted correctly. Assuming it is a corrupt preset (it has happened on various presets, assuming the last preset used is the culprit) is there anything I can do to avoid...

Stuck on boot: “Initializing GUI”

Hi all! My Axe FX III is randomly stopping during boot and getting stuck on “Initializing GUI”. I’m able to boot it in recovery mode and re-flash the firmware. Then I’ll use it for a couple of days until it happens again. Is this something that I can fix on my end? Thanks! H.

Axe-Fx III vs Kemper Profiling Amp

I have used both Axe FX II and Kemper and am currently using the Kemper. But in all honesty, both are valid tools that can get you anywhere you want. I have a Pink Floyd tribute band and the other guitar player is currently using an Axe FX II. We both have tones that are extremelly hard to beat...

Going from FX-II to AX8?

I still have both the Axe-FX II and AX-8. The transition was ok but there is one thing that I don't see mentioned a lot here that bothers me a bit. The speed... When editing the AX-8 is a lot slower while reading preset names, changing blocks, etc... Also the CPU limitation is interesting at...

My Ax8 froze mid-gig

I believe his point was that any gear can fail and that a backup is never a bad idea. He didn't claim the backup has anything to do with the unit locking up. In fact it has nothing to do with that at all! The same way a spare tire has nothing to do with a flat tire, expect for the fact that it...

Is Dephase ever going to make it to AX8?

I hope it does!! It makes a big difference! Either make it to the AX8 or embed it to cablab making possible to save a new cab with dephase built in already.

Any updates about G3fication of the remaining amps?

Mine don't but that doesn't change the fact that I wish they were G3'd. It's a fair expectation. Did your tones on FW17 sound bad?

OD's and Drivers

I have a theory that most of the users rely on amp models for their distorted tones hence the drive blocks don't receive the love they deserve! I hope that with the fx8 the demand for better drive models will be significant to warrant some love. Take the Big Muff model for example. I have...

FLOYD!

Just saw them here in Brazil and Bobby was using a Marshall head and a 4x12 cab besides the axe-fx. Although there wasn't anything connected to the front of the amp. Maybe he was using it for a cab sound on stage (axe connected to fx return maybe) ?

Wait for Axe 3 or buy 2XL

That might be true. People would postpone buying in the couple of months preceding a launch. I guess it's a though business decision! Some industries have some really well defined product lifecycle and live with it (Apple/iPhone for example) But anyways... I can't help but agree with you.

Wait for Axe 3 or buy 2XL

Hi! Looking to buy a second Axe Fx 2 XL as a backup but I'm really worried that we might be right around the corner from an Axe Fx 3 announcement (In which case I would rather buy a 3). With the new high-quality reverb and preamp blocks CPU power is as limiting as ever and it just seems like...

FW15 Flanger and Chorus

I noticed also with the phaser block that you can't get a very dominant effect anymore, even with a high mix. Specially with the uni-vibe mode. Very frustrating! Helio

WEM Super Starfinder 200 cabinet....Gilmour

I have a replica/reissue (mentioned on an earlier post) and It's a wonderful cab. It weights as much as boat but the sound is great. I have a couple of hiwatt amps and to get distortion out of them you have to stand in another room. It's a really clean and in my opinion transparent amp. But it...

A couple of questions regarding the AXE's accessories

The Q12a is pretty loud and sounds awesome. I find it a bit more directional than a guitar cab so that in a rehearsal it is important to place it in a stand angled towards you. I use a pair and don't even need to crank them up to be heard in rehearsals.

Yek's Presets for MkI/MkII (v15.03) and Blog

Thanks for the reply! Just hooked up a FRFR monitor and they sound great through the cab sims. I guess is my cab that need some extra hours of tweaking on the axe to sound better. Thanks!
