    MFC and Strymon

    I've put the Axe FX in the closet for a bit and committing to strymon for a while with a traditional amp. So far so good. I want to use my MFC to control my strymon pedals, nothing fancy right now just changing presets via midi. I"ve accomplished this where i programmed an IA to change a patch...

    Allesandro Fender Mods

    Any Fender experts out there know what the deal is with the Allesandro mods? You can buy those amps on ebay...They're basically just hot rodded fenders with fender name plates. Derek trucks and zac brown actually play Allesandro half stacks though, which i'm sure are super custom ordered etc...

    Shimmer Drive AX8?

    Just wondering if it's headed our way? If we use Fractool to try to slide it over, it still wouldn't work right?

    Tips for more play in Guitar volume knob (strats?)

    I know you can generically increase the Input gain, but I"ve found the best results especially for strats is to increase the input trim. I usually increase it to about 3 and i just feel like it gives more life from the guitar itself and not having to use another gain source like the drive block...

    Pedal in Effects loop (Big Sky) Volume issue

    I wanted to try a Big Sky just to open up some new vibes and help with CPU (i'm a one preset kind of guy). So I have the Big Sky in the loop and have the FX Block in series. I have all the faders in the FX Block maxed out to 20db and It still decreases the volume of the preset significantly. I...

    Yeah i don't know what sounds good anymore

    So i had this patch i've been using and i've used it live and people said it sounded pretty good. Last night, I just moved my monitors around in my room and then the patch sounded like crap. I went back to some of the presets I got from the TAF Platinum pack and they sounded alot better than the...

    Patches for Live Direct Use : How do you tweak? (in detail)

    I've been an axe user for 3 years and it's been great. I've evolved how i tweak and adjust my patches for live use. I wonder what the more experienced users have found that works the best for their live use. I think some things we can all agree on are: A. Tweak at gig volume B. Likely get the...

    No Letters on MFC display??????

    I've been running into this alot. I power on the Axe II and then connect the MFC (i believe it's the 2nd gen) via ethernet and it will fire up and i can make changes (only guided by my labeling) but there just is no letters or anything in the display besides the green background. I've been...

    Live Recording from Board! Blues/Fusion groove

    First solo at 3:35 the 2nd one about 6:00. The 6:00 one goes somewhere at some point. Hey man this my first time posting a recording on here. It's a live track pretty much straight from the board so excuse any unprofessional mixing etc. But both the guitars in this track are fractal. I'm the...

    Tone Page of Amp block

    I was pumped when they included this section of the amp block again. Recently i've been taking down the bright control by a considerable amount 8-10 db but in the Character Frequency adding in about 3-4db around 4000k. For me, it just does what I feel like is needed. I reduce the Q of the...

    Dialing in live tone for Direct and Cab

    Hi. I"ve been using k12's for the past year, but wanted to delve into a Matrix1000 and a Two Rock 2x12 vert cab. I used the latter for the first time in a rehearsal this past week and I really enjoyed it. There is something about playing guitar through a real guitar cab. I was just wanted to...

    Direct & Amp Cab for live use

    So I know there's a debate about sound quality of running a cab with or without cab sims on. If you're planning to send out 1 direct to the mixer and out 2 to a power amp and cab, you would still need to have cab sims on in order to have a good direct tone via out 1 correct? So it would just...

    So I played through a Two Rock combo yesterday.....

    First of all I feel like I am a fairly experience fractal user. I've had it about a year and a half. I tweak with it for hours on the weekends and I feel comfortable dialing in some good tones...I"m a low to mid gain player blues rock/ fusion etc... I haven't played through a real amp pretty...

    Placement of Gate in chain

    So if i want my lead playing to be more clean does it matter where i put the gate in the chain? I would think that a Gate would only allow louder notes through (the ones i want to hear) and cut down on any pick noise or other shiesty stuff that my banana fingers play.... Should it be after...

    Axe FX vs Mesa Mark IV 12" combo

    So i haven't used my woodgrain late 90's/early 00's Mesa mark IV combo in a while. I've been really into the axe fx. So i took the ol combo to rehearsal last night with my little project thing. Man I really missed the Axe Fx. It just sounds so much better to me. Our genre is Alt/Blues/ Rock type...

    How to make 1 guitar sound like 2?

    Hey guys i was wondering what tips you guys have in making one guitar sound like two playing at the same time. 1. Delay in cab block like Cliff recommended? 0.06? 2. One amp, two cabs, and one cab has a slap back delay in front of it? (Bonamassa does this) 3. Obviously, just adding...

    Tips on how to "sit in the mix"

    Something I struggle with is having tone that sits well in a live setting. I always seem to not add enough reverb or not enough delay etc. My signal always seems a bit too dry. When i create patches at home, I currently don't check them with a CD or produced track, but maybe I should. I know the...

    Clark Kent IR's and preset

    Anybody purchased the Cab pack yet and tried the presets up on the Exchange? Just wanting to get some peoples feedback on them. I plan on buying them, but I'm not a super high gain player just want to make sure they'll be a nice addition for more mid-gain stuff. It's worth the 25 bux to...

    Front input interface in racks

    I see alot of guys that have this multi-input single space rackmount piece that is the female ends of multiple types of cables. I assume there are cables going into the back of the Axe fx, but allows you to plug straight in to the front of your rack and not have to plug cables into the back of...

    Compensation for different guitars in your patches

    I just wanted to poll you guys and see what options you have come up with to compensate for different guitars (sound & output)with your patches. I made a lot of my patches with my PRS custom 24 and it has pretty high output pickups. On the "set the input level" for the axe, it measure at...

    4 amp patch

    I wanted to try an 8 scene patch just to see how far I could push it. Before other explanation, I run a Roland gr-55 synth pedal in my rack and I have it running through input one right (Rear). You have to go in the I/O page and set the input to stereo, just like you're going to run an acoustic...

    Right Balanced out signal Stronger than Left Balanced out signal?

    At practice last night, I was definitely getting a hotter signal to our board out of one of the balanced outs more than the other one. I am pretty confident that this issue is not due to a preset via panning a signal etc... If the right out was giving 100% signal, the left was around 70%. I...
