    FM9 Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time, w/ FM9s

    Yeah, she is the singer for the Queensryche tribute band I also play in. She isn't the new singer for my Maiden tribute, but we're both regulars at this particular open mic and occasionally do some Maiden tunes there, like this one.

    FM9 Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time, w/ FM9s

    Although this particular incarnation of the band is no longer playing (the singer and drummer are focusing exclusively on originals these day), the bassist, other guitarist, and I are rebooting it with a new singer and drummer. We have added Stranger in a Strange Land in our repertoire, so I'll...

    Queensryche tribute (w/ FM9)

    Thanks, glad you dig it! Although it isn't the most authentic recreation of their tone -- I'm using a Mark II JPC sim, and more gain than they generally use -- I think it works pretty well, and always appreciate hearing that others agree! I don't have any tones on Axe Exchange, but I did share...

    FC6 expression pedal to duplicate expression pedal on FM9?

    I have an FC6 that I'm planning to set up on the opposite side of the stage from my FM9, so that I can be on either side and still have quick access to control my rig. It is simple enough to get the FC6 footswitches to duplicate those on the FM9. But I'd also like to have an expression pedal...

    FM9 Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time, w/ FM9s

    Thanks for the compliments on the playing and the tone! And glad you like the harmony I added in the second solo -- it's subtle, but I think it is a nice touch. Purely by chance the videographer happened to pan over to me at that part, which worked out well. It's been long enough that I don't...

    Queensryche tribute (w/ FM9)

    I'm playing in a Queensryche tribute that recently formed here in Minneapolis. This is a short compilation of clips from a tribute festival we played a couple of months ago. We're still building up our repertoire and working on getting tighter, but overall we were pretty happy with how it all...

    FM9 Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time, w/ FM9s

    Sorry you won't be able to make it, but we appreciate you putting in the word for your friends that will be there! We are indeed playing three 1 hour sets (5:15, 7:25, and 9:50). This will be my first time at Rock Fest (playing or attending), so not quite sure what to expect, but it should be fun!

    FM9 Iron Maiden, Caught Somewhere in Time, w/ FM9s

    Thanks, it's always nice when people appreciate the time put into try to get things like that as polished as we can manage! Thankfully it doesn't usually take too much time in rehearsal itself -- one of the great things about this band is we're pretty good about doing our homework and coming to...

    Hey AxeManDan, and anyone else in the Twin Cities area -- we're going to be playing tomorrow (Saturday, March 12) at Route 47., if you're interested in checking it out. We'll be playing from 8-9, and a great Tool tribute out of St. Cloud (10,000 Days) will be playing afterwards. Should be a...

    Thanks! Although we're all pretty happy with our tones and overall sound, if I'm honest I don't think it is a particularly "authentic" reproduction of Maiden's album tones.

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Fear of the Dark"

    Tough to top their first 7 albums for sure -- all classics. I'd also rank Brave New World as the best of the rest of their albums. A Matter of Life and Death is another great post-reunion album. I'm still digesting Senjutsu, but so far I think its one of their better post-reunion albums, but...

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Fear of the Dark"

    Yeah, I agree that album has some solid tunes in it. Although I would rate it in the bottom third of their albums, it's still a good album by most standards (except for Weekend Warrior -- IMO that's their all time worst song). We sometimes play Be Quick or Be Dead and Judas Be My Guide off that...

    AFIII Pink Floyd's "Marooned" -- Guitar and Bass Cover

    Thanks for the kind words! A few people have asked for the preset, so here you go. It is a tweaked version of a patch from Axe-Change named "5AM LP V10", by Piing. I used an Origin Effects Cali76 compressor in the loop, but I also created a scene that uses the compressor block -- didn't spend...

    Thanks, we appreciate it! Dance of Death isn't currently in our list, but I'd love to add it! We're planning to do at least another couple of livestreams in the not too distant future, one where the setlist is based on requests, so we can probably add it for that.

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Back in the Village" cover, live with Axe-Fx III and AX8

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Back in the Village" cover, live with Axe-Fx III and AX8

    Yeah, I got that going faster than I intended! It was our first live performance in months, and we transitioned into this directly from a Maidenized dual-guitar version of Eruption that we added as tribute to EVH. So I was a little too revved up at the start, which sets the tempo for the whole...

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Back in the Village" cover, live with Axe-Fx III and AX8

    Thanks! Yeah, this is such a great tune, and so much fun to play! As far as I am aware, Maiden has never played it live, which is a shame. And I agree that Powerslave is amazing start to finish -- one of the greatest hard-rock/metal albums of all time!

    AFIII Iron Maiden "Back in the Village" cover, live with Axe-Fx III and AX8

    Whammy out of tune

    Same issue here, with either classic or advanced whammy, +1 octave. I've also calibrated the pedal (ev-2, or Boss EV-30), and confirmed that it appears to go from 0 to 100 as I rock the pedal. Happens whether connected to the FC6 or directly to the AxeFX III.

    Intermittent USB connection

    I've also started experiencing USB connection issues in the past week or so. Had some USB issues when I first got it a year and a half ago, but then has been working well up until to now. Sometimes I will have to power cycle the Axe III several times before it will connect. Once connected, it...

    FC feature request: layout toggle

    Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere (didn't see it in a quick search), but seems like it could be useful. Among other things, it would allow you to access 3 different layouts from one button, with a separate layout for tap, double-tap, and hold.

    Axe Fx III and Xitone 12 inch wedge

    Sounds good to me! Seems pretty neutral. I had tried a Atomic CLR Neo around the same time I got the Xitone and prefered the Xitone. Unfortunately, that was a couple of years ago and I don't remember the specifics about my preference, just that I sent the CLR back and kept the Xitone. Yeah...

    Axe Fx III and Xitone 12 inch wedge

    I have a Xitone 12" wedge I sometimes use with the Axe Fx III. When I do, I simply put the wedge in front, the Axe Fx off to the side or, if at all possible, at the back of the room/stage. I don't have a particular concern about the AxeFx being on the floor as long as it is out of the way of the...

    The FC editing was a great addition to me, and I don't even own the FC yet. I've been on the fence about whether to order the FC-6, the FC-12, or just stick with a more general MIDI controller. Although the manuals and videos provide all the details on what the FCs can do, being able to sit down...

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already (didn't see it anywhere), but it seems like another solution could be using color coding or some other visual indicator to distinguish the controls that are present on the amps that were modeled from the additional controls. That way, the 'basic'...

    Axe FX III as MIDI interface for external devices?

    I would like to have the option to do so, but it sounds like this isn't a possibility. Not even all the parameters on the basics page stay constant. For example, presence, depth, master, input trim, etc. -- I think everything but input gain, bass, middle, and treble, but I won't swear to that --...

    changing amp model without changing amp parameters?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, although a few parameters such input drive, bass, mid, and treble stay unchanged, most other parameters on the basic and various advanced pages change (unless they happen to already be set to where the selected amp would put them anyway, of course).

    changing amp model without changing amp parameters?

    What I'm looking to do isn't so much get a sense of what individual parameters do -- although that is certainly very useful, I can do that by just tweaking it within a preset with or without changing the amp. Instead, I'm looking to sample different amp models with everything (or at least all...

    changing amp model without changing amp parameters?

    With X/Y switching, you still have the problem of having to go parameter-by-parameter to set everything other than the amp model across X and Y. Not a bit deal if it is a one-time thing, but not something very fun to do often.
  64. A

    changing amp model without changing amp parameters?

    Is there any way -- in either Ax8-Edit or on the Ax8 itself -- to change the amp model without most of the amp parameters changing? There are times I'd like to try out similar amps (for example, switching between the three different variations of the HBE) to get a feel for their unique...

    Do you use amp knobs on your AX8?

    I use them a fair bit when dailing up a patch from scratch or doing major adjustments and/or experimentation with the amp settings.

    As a workaround, would it be possible to add a "disconnect/reconnect" function (mapped to a shortcut key) to both Ax8-Edit and Cab-Lab?

    Posible bug!!!

    Mostly small things. On occasion, when switching from a high gain preset to another preset, I'll hear a moderately high frequency fuzzy-ish tone when first switching that fades out over the course of a second or so. Kinda hard to describe. When I get the chance, I'll post a video of that so...

    Yeah, I reported this a week or two ago. I've noticed it on several other amps, as well. At least a couple other people reported that they sometimes can reproduce this effect, but sometimes not. Others indicated that they don't have the issue at all. So that is a little puzzling why this is...

    Bug? Defect?: Strange sounds with some high gain presets

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it in another part of the house tomorrow. But I suspect EMF is not the culprit, as I'd expect EMF noise to get worse as the gain is increased, rather than kicking in only when gain is dropped down to 0. I also don't have comparable noise problems with any...

    Just a quick note on the Samson 65a's. I used to have a pair several years back and, although I thought they were ok for the money, I don't think they really do justice to high-end modelers such as the Ax8.

    I think its kind of ironic that one of the most significant aspects of the AX8's release is that it will bring tons of new people (such as myself) to Fractal, yet most of those that have received them so far are existing Fractal users. I don't mean anything negative by that (its actually quite a...
