    EurekaProm 3.2 Tuner Issue

    I just got a EurekaProm 3.2 for ,y Axe/Fx II and 2nd FBC1010 (I've been using another with the Uno chip for years). The 3.2 chip has a new feature that reflects the Axe's tuner onto the FCB display. The display will show the note and next to it on the left, a + for sharp, - for flat, or blank...

    Making a Humbuster Cable - 1 or 2 Conductor Cable Required?

    Pardon me if this question has been answered somewhere in this forum but my searches didn't find what I'm looking for. I've seen the Wiki image on this topic and also comments saying all that's needed is to short the R&S on the TRS plug connected to the Axe/Fx 1/4" outputs. Can I simply put...

    Can't Get Roland FC-200 To Select Axe/Fx II @128-155

    I recently got a Roland FC-200 for free and have been playing around with it to compare with my FCB1010/Uno. I consider myself to have a pretty decent understanding of MIDI, having coded a DOS program in C to edit patches on a Casio CZ101 long ago, lol. I later gave the source to a French guy...

    Anyone using an FCB1010 w/EurekaProm 3.2?

    I've been using an FCB1010 w/Uno for years. Recently I picked up a 2nd FCB for free and have been thinking of getting a Eureka chip for it. I've been reading some disturbing reports in their forum though about CC pedal (wah/vol, etc) latency in 3.2 that makes it pretty near unusable. Just...

    Smallest Rack Case?

    Have a fly gig coming up and want to carry the Fx II onto the plane. What's the smallest, lightest case I can get for it?

    Axe/FX II vs. Headrush - in my studio

    A good friend left his Headrush pedal with me overnight and I got to spend more time with it than I did at NAMM and also put it head-to-head (with no rush :-D ) with my Axe II. I found the models I listened to too bright before EQ. My go-to Axe model model is a Vibrolux with a 1-12 cab. On the...

    [Solved] FCB-to-AXE/FX II MIDI Failure During Gig

    Had my 1st AXE/FX II screw-up at a gig this weekend. We did a 2-night stand at a venue in Nevada and had MIDI switching issues. I run an FCB1010 and phantom power it from the Axe/FX using an appropriate power supply plugged into the AXE's phantom power jack and a 7-to-5 pin MIDI cable pigtail. I...

    MIDI Maestro Seen yesterday @ NAMM

    http://singularsound.com/product/midimaestro/ Not available until May but the prototype looked very cool. Rep demo'd editing via iPhone/Android app with Bluetooth connection. Prototype has 2 Expression jacks but I was told they were probably going to change that to only 1 and use the other jack...

    Using The Axe/FX To Translate MIDI From USB to 5-pin DIN

    I'm playing a few songs on keyboards in my latest band and need a live keys rig. I bought an inexpensive weighted 88-key controller some years back for recording but it has USB MIDI only and limited on-board sounds. I experimented with using a laptop as a VSTi host (Cantabile - great live VST...

    Intelligent Harmonizer On-The-Fly Scale Changes

    Let me preface this question by saying that I have not yet worked with the Axe/FX II's Intelligent Harmony effect. Tonight, I will explore setting it up for Hotel California, not the iconic Felder/Walsh ending triplets but for the riffs during the verses. I have configured 2 devices (Johnson...

    Playing an Axe/FX II Has Ruined NAMM For me

    I've been going to the winter NAMM show most every year since the mid 80s. Almost every year I come home jonesin' for a great new box of TONE that I if I just had I could be so much better. Now, I hear all those great tones from the new boxes at the show and just think, yeah that's in the Axe too.

    Android Display Idea - for FCB1010 or other MIDI controller

    I was thinking (response from all: "uh oh...")... The FCB1010 is a great, cheap, and flexible device especially with UNO f/w. It lacks however a decent display and the add-ons I've seen make it too expensive to consider (please enlighten me if I'm wrong on that point....). Wouldn't it be nice...

    Suggest config & patch for Ric 4001 Bass

    I'm doing a series of gigs where I trade bass duties with another guitarist. I'm using My '80 4001 Ric bass the AxeFX MkII and a Roland KC300 amp. I'm also using my "50s Tribute" SG w/P90s for guitar work and am currently enamored by the Brownface model rhythm & lead work. My questions are...

    FCB1010 / AXE FX / PC Simultaneous Connection

    Pardon me if this is old new to some but perhaps it will help others and at least *I* will be able to read to remind myself when I forget in a few months how I did it last night...lol. We know that for live playing, only one MIDI connection is needed: FCB MIDI out -------> AXE MIDI in. When...

    "Lock" LCD display?

    Is there a way to tell the AFX to not leave the RECALL screen? When programming the FCB MIDI pedal, I find the RECALL screen useful to make sure the patches and scenes MIDI CCs are programmed correctly at the FCB but the AFX jumps to another screen sometimes (block detail for an effect I think)...

    Axe/FX II + RME Fireface 400 Audio Drivers In Sonar: WDM/KS or ASIO4ALL?

    I tried to record directly from AXE FX II USB to Cakewalk Sonar X3 yesterday for the first time and failed miserably. I wanted to add some quick ideas to piece I'm working on. I was running the RME driver in ASIO mode at 44.1k/24bit res. Of course I now realize that presented all sorts of...

    FRFR vs. Into the Front End of A Boogie

    I've been working with a friend developing settings for gigging (for him since I don't gig much anymore...). We developed the patches using my studio monitors. Since I happened to have a Roland KC300, we've been using that as a live FRFR system (mono) and it's been sounding great. Each of 3...

    Volume Pedal & Volume Balancing

    I like to have a vol pedal available but I'm having a tough time finding a strategy that works with the Axe/FX II. Is there a way to control volume globally (i.e. not within a patch) with a MIDI pedal (I'm using an Uno FCB 1010) so that scene and patch changes respect the current vol pedal...

    Can Axe Edit Track Real-Time Changes?

    I looked through the manual and forum but didn't see this subject (apologies if I missed it). I notice that when working with a MIDI controller (an FCB in my case) and Axe Edit at the same time that changes triggered via MIDI within a patch (block enable/bypass, most notably) are not...

    How Do I Switch Scenes Via A Simple Footswitch?

    I need to set this up quickly for rehearsal in an hour. I have 2 scenes defined and I have set up an external pedal switch. I'm brand new to the Axe FX II. Would someone please list the steps to get the pedal switch to cycle through scenes. Or, how can I toggle a block on/bypass with a switch...
