    Pickups…

    I've been quite happy with the tapped sound of Tom Anderson humbuckers, they don't sound too thin (although at times the full HB can get almost too thick). But I've been satisfied with them in my custom made PRS style (semi hollow) single cut guitar. I don't remember exactly which pickups they...

    Just great, so tight... What is that (I suppose) baritone PRS Lettieri is playing? Or is it a Fiore?

    Unique guitars

    Oh, I meant the modeled guitar sounds (as in GP-10 or SY-1000), not midi triggered sounds on GR units. The way Gittler pickups are made is very different than a GK pickup and (I think) the part of the string they "hear" is quite far from the bridge (as compared to a well installed GK pickup)...

    Acoustic Guitar Pickups

    I've always hated the sound of piezos. I've also tried LR Baggs Lyric, which sounds better, but still need lots of EQ, and I've had issues with feedback. KK Pure mini is decent but require a lot of EQ also as is (but the note attack is more natural than with piezo). I've also had different...

    New song from Trevor Rabin

    Nice one. The slide solo was my favourite part, something unexpected.

    D.I.Y. Amplifier - A 200W Class D module amp build for $250 total

    In 2020 (covid) I decided to build a bass power amp with 1200AS1 module, as I found out it's used by a respected digital based (at the time) bass amp manufacturer. I figured I could do the preamp stuff with Fractal. Worked out great. Works for the guitar also, but got to be careful with the power.

    Your best electric guitars, do they sound great acoustically?

    I think you'll get a fairly good idea of how an electric guitar will sound amplified just playing it acoustically. I tend to like the ones that resonate well, are balanced sounding and the attack is right (a very important thing). If the guitar has decent pickups, the sound will come through...

    Wish Color change option for FC hold

    +1. I don’t know how the LED rings are wired, but it would be great to be able to select different colours to the upper and lower LEDs of the ring. Perhaps in next generation FCs?

    Anyone still using Dunlop Ultex 1.0mm yellow picks?

    Same here. The BlueChip seems not to wear at all, has a nice sound and has some weight to it. Nice grip also. But it is expensive.

    As usual, I strayed from the beaten paths

    Nice! I've been interested in these for a while. Doesn't look that big under the Axe III, I somehow thought it was much bigger. I could easily live with that, and it works as a nice stand for the Axe, too. I am sure it does wonders to stereo sounds. But how do you think it works with...

    Barefaced cab IRs

    Hi, glad you like it, @mistermikev! The Barefaced cab really shines with clean sounds in the room. As an IR it just sounds like a regular cab, I think.

    Barefaced Cabs...These look interesting...

    Hi, I did some IR's of my new Barefaced cab, check them out here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/barefaced-cab-irs.155113/ The cab sounds really good, I like it a lot. And it is surprisingly light even with a normal (non-neo) speaker. Of course, the IR's are not going to demonstrate...

    Barefaced cab IRs

    Hi, I just got my Barefaced Reformer 112 cab, and I like it very much with my Mad Professor CS-40 head. It works fine also with the Axe III and GSS Baby Sumo as a power amp, but there's just some magic with the Mad Professor amp (maybe Fractal should model one...). The cab is quite loud and, as...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 6.02, Axe-Edit 1.01.09 and FC Firmware 1.08

    Hi, I just updated my III, FC-12 and Axe-Edit with no issues. But with my FC-6 something went wrong and it now stays in Failsafe v0.01 mode and Axe shows no connected FC's. I tried to update several times and have power cycled the units many times. Still the same. What should I do?

    Making coil splitting work

    I know what you mean. For years I had the vision of the one "do it all" guitar, but now I've realised that it's never gonna work. I always loved the quality, looks and playability of PRS's, but never really liked the sound of Customs. I've given up with them, but I love my HBII and CU22 soapbar...

    Making coil splitting work

    Hi, the guitar is also a big part of the sound. I've always struggled to get a good single coil sound with HB PRS's. Part of it is that I, too, find most coils splits thin and weak. The other part is the woods; a mahogany/maple guitar will never sound like an alder strat. I've always liked...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    @biskitboy, @zionpalyer, @Capt Nasty and @finleysound. Thanks for your help! Now I accomplished what I wanted to do. I got the effect state to be the same across scene changes with CS switches (I did not do it right the first time). You are right about the Control switches running out of gas...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    Exactly. This does not work for me. It does save the effect on/off state of the scene to be the same when I come back to it, but does not change the next scene I am going to. I'd like the effects to work independently. For example: I am in scene 1 and turn on delay. Then I change to scene 2...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    My main problem with scenes is that I'd like somethings to change and some not as I change them. I'd like to change amps and cabs, but leave the effects at the state they where before changing scenes. As I'd have a multichannel amp and an independent effects unit or board. I don't like presets...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    Now I've got the FC, spent the last 6 hours with it. I am close to what I want, but not quite there yet. I've tried to figure this out (since I did not get what I wanted with scenes): Is there a way to set more than one "control switch" to a physical switch (like CS1 and 2 working the same...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    Yes, I'll try the control switches. Might be easier to figure this out when I actually get the FC... Now I'm just noodling with the Axe and Axe-Edit. Thanks!

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    I am not even sure how to assign many functions to a footswitch, since it seems (at least in the Axe-edit) I can only choose one function for tap and hold.

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    Yes, that's what I was thinking, basically, but I am not sure if I can change a scene without affecting the bypass state of the effects. Example 1: I'll have a dry clean sound for rhythm (scene 1 on the first switch). The I'll start a solo. I'll switch delay and volume boost on with the 5th and...

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    FC: Possible to execute two functions at the same time with one switch?

    Hi, I've been reading the FC6/12 manual, as I am getting one (FC6) in a couple of days. I wonder if it's possible to execute two functions with one (IA) switch at the same time with one tap (i.e. not using hold-function), like I could do with MC-101? For example: to turn on drive and delay with...

    Open back / combo cab fans?

    I never thought of that! I always assumed there's some padding and components behind it. Have you tried it? BTW, I tried the new FW 2.05 room simulation quickly, and used sparingly, I think I sounds quite good. Will have to try it with headphones and studio monitors with time, but first...

    Open back / combo cab fans?

    I can see your point, LeonC. I am just updating the firmware of my Axe III, there's an improved room simulation in the cab section. I'll have to admit, that I've not really messed a lot with the previous ones, because they've felt more like just reverb to me. But the solution could be closer...

    Open back / combo cab fans?

    Or a Center Point Space Station... I wish I could try one out somewhere, but the bigger one would not be easy to carry. I've not tried an open back FRFR, how does one translate with heavier closed back tones? Any experiences?
  38. S

    Open back / combo cab fans?

    Hi, I've been toying with this a little. You could split the signal after the amp block, put two cabs in parallel, put the other one out-of-phase (for example with a filter block), add a few milliseconds of delay and mix it back with the other unaltered cab signal. That way you could get the...

    today I built some acoustic guitar patches with IRs

    Hi, just tried (very briefly) the 3 Sigma "electric" IR's with my Strat (neck pickup). Used the same preset as with my Brian Moore (with cab, comp, tube pre, EQ and reverb). Did not sound that good at all. I'll have to test more, but I guess what it takes is a piezo or something similar...

    Best portable power amp in 2017

    Hi, I just got Guitar Sound Systems Baby Sumo. It's not the smallest on the market, but it's quite light, very robust and sounds good to me. Does require a speacon cable, though. I also have the ISP Stealth, which is very small and good sounding, but I have few minor issues with it. 1. The...

    today I built some acoustic guitar patches with IRs

    Hi, I have tried the 3 Sigma Martin 45 IR briefly with my AX8, Brian Moore MC/1P (RMC passive piezo) and Atomic CLR, and to my surprise it actually sounded quite nice (even with a 010-046 regular electric set). Actually way better than I've ever managed to get my acoustics to sound with my own...

    MFC-101 Looper mode "play once" button as a momentary switch?

    Hi! I wonder if there's a way of having the "play once" button in the looper mode to act like a momentary switch instead of toggle switch? What I'd like to do is to use it as a "hit" button. By tapping it again the loop would always instantly start from the beginning and then continue to play...

    First Impressions: CPS Space Station V.3 Powered Monitor

    Hi, thanks for the review, this is an interesting product. I am using an Atomic CLR active wedge with the Axe II. I don't use effects that much, sometimes a little reverb and delay, and no stereo (as I only have one CLR). The setup works just fine, but often I do miss the "amp in the room"...

    Mad Professor - this is awesome sounding amp!

    Hi, MP amps are great and Marko Karhu is a great player. The amps sound very natural and balanced, what goes in comes out. I have the CS-40 head and Old School 21RT combo (the only tube amps I still own). The OS21 is a plug and play type of amp, and while you can do just that with the CS, it...

    1U AXE Control Panel

    I am also interested in this. I had the DG-1000, and the motorized knobs were awesome. Add to that an automatic save function or a "live mode", and it'd be a winner (the changes would be preserved when when changing presets). One think I'd also like would be a global adjustable solo boost like...

    About the Axe-Fx II XL

    Hi, I just got a new XL. I decided to buy it mainly for the FAS-link, but another thing I considered as important was the "Double-capacity preset size" as the Fractal audio site announces. More presets (by number) is irrelevant for me, as I only use about 5. I wonder if there is something wrong...

    CLRs and Amp In The Room tone. I think I've figured something out.

    Hi, first I'd like to say hello to you all. I've been visiting here for years, but never registered, until now. I've had my share of tube amps, both boutique and non-boutique. I've also tried to play FRFR since the early POD days, but was never quite satisfied, until now. For the last year, I...
