Usb issue...

Hey guys.... So last week I disconnected my Axe II from my DAW and connected my AX8 to load up some 0wnhammer impulses. Upon disconnecting the AX8 and reconnecting the Axe II I've been experiencing issues. Firstly Rex discovered I had a corrupt preset when I had no output from the unit, I had...

My AX8 killed my Axe II mk II....

Really hoping there's a simple fix I'm overlooking.... I have my Axe II connected to my pc/home studio but I also own an AX8. Last week I disconnected the Axe II and connected the AX8 to load up some Ownhammer ir's. Simple enough. I disconnected the AX8, reconnected the Axe II, and now nothing...

CLR issue that recently popped up...

Early this week I began hearing a farty type almost static like vibration coming from one of my active wedges' speaker. It only occurs when the CLR is on the floor in wedge position, regardless of the DSP setting. If I put the CLR on its side feet or "back line" position it stops. Again, only...

One year to the day...

I got in my car and drove to Plaistow NH and purchased my Axe FXII via in store pickup. I'm lucky, it's about a 75 minute ride for me... It's still like having a shiny brand new toy every day. I've never been able to say that about anything I've ever bought my entire life. Until now. When I...

User cab slot issue...

Hey guys. With all the new UltraRes IR's flying around I've been busy auditioning lots of them and encountered a problem. Last fall I bought a bunch of IR's and quickly filled all 100 slots, some of which now I can't overwrite. Fractal bot tells me the IR was sent successfully but the IR's I'm...

Best of hi gain ultra res IR's...

Hey guys. I've definitely fallen behind on the whole IR explosion as of late. Was wondering if some of you who are on top of what's available could share which IR's are "must have" for a hi gain metal guy? Thanks in advance. Paul

Headphone advice...

I know this has been covered but my searches come up empty... What are you guys using for headphones with the Axe? I've got an old pair of mf40's I bought with my xt live about 10 years ago and was thinking about updating. Who offers the most bang for the buck these days? Thanks!

IR's for high gainers...

Hey guys. Of the two FAS cab packs (I know Cliff said he was looking for an adequate studio to do a "metal" pack eventually) and the recently released OH packs...which would be best for the metal heads? Thanks in advance!

Voggs "United" solo...

Any Decapitated fans get this tone nailed? For that matter rhythm tones for "Carnival" would be appreciated also. I know in an interview he said he used a Crate Excalibur for rhythm and a Diezel Herbert for leads...we have the Diezel but I don't think there's much demand for Cliff to model the...

Active CLR Wedge preview...

I'm fortunate enough to have a friend with two active CLR wedges who also happens to have a couple of weeks off from gigs. Lucky me he's letting me borrow one while waiting for the list to reach me. After only having a couple hours with it so far, all I can say is Holy Shit! Amazing sound and...

Going in...10.06!

Ok, so I've owned my Axe II for about six weeks now (how the hell did I live before it?) and today I'll be attempting my first firmware update. I just sat back and watched the past few days to see everyone's positive/negative feedback and experiences before going in myself. I'm not what most...

5 week review...

This thing truly is a gift...never dreamed it could be this good! What I've come up with so far is this...no matter how you run this unit you can achieve great tone...no matter what guitar, what pickup, you will find great tone. I've run it four or five ways...and saved patches for each by name...

New user review...exception to the rule...

For anyone on the fence about dropping the cash for an Axe FX II...just do it. I was a bit skeptical, you know the old saying..."if it sounds too good to be true"...this IS the exception. It's ALL true. There's another saying..."you get what you pay for"...with the Axe II you'll get...

Total newb...why should I buy Axe FX II?

What's up people? Been trying to figure out what to buy for a new amp, and some people are steering me in this direction. Was thinking about picking up an EVH 5150 III combo when they're released. Why should I go Fractal? Convince me...
