    One Month In...

    Totally agree with everything above. I recently acquired the FX8 (also at the B stock sale) and I am running it through my Suhr Bella. Amazing setup - the days of spending way too much on pedals is finally over!!!!

    Any good powered frfr available in Canada?

    This is from another thread but I think it applies here and I am in Canada. All of the cabs I tested were from L&M and the QSC's from another local PA & Lighting rental place.

    OD's and Drivers

    For drive and boost definitely try scenes, I love incorporating different gain settings on an amp within the same preset. You can take it a step further with the X/Y settings and even incorporate a different amp for your solo. Might be a game changer for you!

    Classic signal chain vs the Axe-Fx approach

    What's your workflow after updating firmware?

    My work flow is similar. I always back up immediately prior to the new FW install and then go through the install process. I then audition one of my go to presets and FWIW always deselect/reslect the amp (out of habit). I make tweaks as necessary and reset levels with the VU meters. I have...

    Axe FX2 or FX2 XL? Which is the better buy for someone new to Fractals.

    I'm no power user either but if you have the cash go for the L, I wish I did. My main reason is simply for the additional preset and user cab capacity. With all the awesome IRs coming out I wish I had the extra space.

    MFC-101 Mk III and AxeFx II XL+ (Firmware 18) Name Timeout SOLVED!

    A note to NON XL users when updating to 3.07. Your unit (MFC) will default to XL and you must manually select the correct Axe unit via the MFC Edit/Setup menus. I think this is what finally solved "Timeout" message error.

    Tips on how to "sit in the mix"

    I agree with this. I auditioned a number of monitors including the k12's, all side by side and all of them coloured the tone in their own unique way. I quite liked the k12's but if this is going to be your reference point for establishing presets I guess there is this consequence.
