    Fractal Sale Wow!!!

    My only concern is if G66 are buying them at even further discount from Fractal and then selling them on at full cost to Euro customers. Of course, they might not get the discount at all as a dealer.

    Fractal Sale Wow!!!

    The back of my Axe FX Mk ii says 100-240v and 50-60hz - I believe that the unit is international out of the box. EDIT: You beat me to it while I was getting baby back to sleep DLC, sneaky!

    [Bug] Axe Edit 3.9.0 moving shunts

    Has anyone else spotted this happening...? If I grab a shunt and move it, another shunt appears in the first available slot (going left to right and top to bottom) Is this just me?

    One Reason To Consider An Axe-Fx II

    And on a lighter note.... I have a great distaste for alleged "musicians" who won't let me use their fingers to play my guitar.

    One Reason To Consider An Axe-Fx II

    That's a problem with the world today. Too many people think that other peoples skill, experience, time, materials, money and intellectual property should just be given away. Just because you cannot hold something in your hands does not mean it does not have value. I understand that this...

    Why does my Axe FX XL sound different?

    Yeah, some people pick up any guitar, any pickup combination, and sound exactly the same. Must be boring for them!

    Questions about Axe FX from a possible buyer . . .

    I used to gig with a Line 6 Relay wireless plugged into the Axe FX 2+. I never noticed any latency with that combination so having a complete wire isn't going to be a problem. I can't play through a Windows PC because the latency of Windows processing the sound is too long, but that is Windows...

    Here is how to share XL and XL+ Presets with Mark I and II

    This autoHotKey script should speed it up, it saves the CSV and JPG to the folder c:\AxeFX_CSV on your hard drive. It evens creates the folder if you haven't used it before. script raw: http://mikeymoore.co.uk/AxeFX_SavePatch.ahk.txt Compiled Executable...

    eliminating noise!?

    I just did a test on my "noisy" presets; I unplugged the guitar cable from the Axe FX to see how much noise was really being generated by the amp sim. The answer was practically zero for most amps; on some there was a gentle hiss. My conclusion is that amp noise reduction is NOT required but...

    eliminating noise!?

    If by noise we are talking about the hum or hiss coming from the amp with no guitar signal through it then this may be achievable in part. If two signals come out of the amp, one *with* the guitar input and one without (i.e. just the amp noise) then you could subtract (or invert and add more...

    NEED - XL+ to MK2 Preset converter

    The option to import the preset into Axe Edit (as XL) while offline and then select MK2 to see (estimated) CPU usage would be nice. Then us "legacy" guys can edit the preset until we get the CPU down to 80% before we import into our fully functional discontinued product. I don't think that it...

    Axe FX vs. real amp

    I agree with most folks here. If you took 9 real "identical" real amps, tweaked them until they all sounded as close to identical as you can get them and then did the same with the Axe FX I suspect that you would have 10 sets of very slightly different settings. I would defy you to tell which...

    How much softer/louder cleans versus dirty?

    I probably won't be able to help but.... Do you mean actual output in db or perceived output? I have used a sound pressure meter to get identical volumes and the clean tones just didn't cut through at all! I assume it is an EQ problem for me since I can't get my head around EQ at all!

    Another AxeFx II first day impression

    Reading this thread I just realised that I used the Axe FX as if it is a real amp. I pick the amp and then just twiddle the EQ around until it sounds better than just good. Chuck in an OD, add a reverb and maybe a delay and you have maybe 80% of eventualities covered.

    At no point did Cliff say the screen was better. Different was the word used. I doubt you'd be able to tell them apart from the front. Why are we still discussing them when we could be hassling Cliff in the G3 threads? lol

    Announcing the Axe-Fx II XL Plus

    I agree. Most technology manufacturers don't give you firmware updates every couple of months. When they do it is usually a specific fix. They normally tell you NOT to install it unless you need to (i.e. have the problem it is intended to fix). FAS is pretty much unique in that regard...

    Announcing the Axe-Fx II XL Plus

    Now if I want a shiny new thing I'm gonna have to save up for a new shiny new thing instead of the old shiny new thing. This means my wife will think I am only after the new shiny new thing because it is new and not because it is better than my old old shiny new thing. Damn you FAS suppliers!

    Will the Axe FX be my solution?

    All I can tell you is that since I took the plunge with the Axe FX I have not turned on my Cornford MK50ii. I mostly play bedroom levels and record and for this I do not believe anything comes close. Kemper may be there but I have not tried one. I have also played a fair few gigs with the set...

    Whatever Happened To AOTW?

    I think that the biggest problem is what information to have on each amp. The useful stuff to know is: * What is the basic sound * What are the amps strengths * What are the weaknesses * what can be achieved with tweaks I think that a large part of the problem, at least for me, is that there...

    Latency with Reaper

    Hi all, I have just started using Reaper (moved from Audacity) so that I can record processed and raw together. I have gone through the following to try to get the record latency "synced". I currently have it set to 9,959 samples (yes, almost ten thousand) which appears to work. Is this a...

    Had my Axefx2 for a year and....

    I agree. There has to be some reason why guitarists (and some other instrument-ists) out there buy something like the Axe in the first place. I hear people say "Well, I already have something that sounds like a tube amp, it's called a tube amp!". Well, duh! If you are happy with your sound...

    Scenes: songs with 3 different amp tones?

    I normally just leave both amps on and use a volume/pan set to zero volume on both. The amp that I want quiet has the volume/pan enabled to silence it. I only get a noticeable delay when changing with the USB plugged in. Using a foot switch is usually good unless you are really picky!

    What's this fizz?

    how was this recorded? Do you hear the same thing using headphones plugged into the AFx2 (and no USB connected) or through speakers?

    BBE Maximizer effect?

    It is worth bearing in mind that Axefest is about promotion. If Matrix were there then you can bet whatever was plugged into the FR212 had been rigorously optimized for the purpose. That means a lot of time spent matching the presets to the cab, probably at specific volumes. This is not a dig...

    Volunteers wanted! Crazy idea for cab sims with NL12?

    I just had what may or may not be a crazy idea..., I am hoping you guys can help me decide. I am thinking of getting a NL12 or NL212 but know that the cab sims don't sound great at high volumes due to it not being FRFR. This basically means that I would be losing the IRs in the Axe when I...

    USB Audio on windows

    Thanks for your input guys. In the end I have dug out my old Boss BR1180 and am using that to feed the sound card line in. Not ideal (and a little noisy) but at least it works and there no obvious latency (a few milliseconds)!

    USB DI Audio Question

    Probably a daft question, but have you tried boosting up the raw track and listening to it solo to hear if there is noise there? Also, are you inadvertently reamping the audio mix from your machine? By this, I mean that if you play an MP3 in the background (outside your daw) is this being sent...

    Time to go FRFR

    Does having a backline in the form of a stereo 212 make any difference to anyone except the guy standing in front of it? Please excuse my ignorance! I just got hold of an afx2 I am considering my alternatives but it seems to me that anyone in the audience would just get a mono sound scape at...
