    That does indeed appear to be the case. For what it's worth, I think Fractal has been doing an admirable job of communicating a series of supply chain issues. I get the frustration with having to wait - , and the desire to know when your number is up 💯 - I've been on the waitlist since last...

    I definitely think you could've been more polite, but I respect your decision to make an assumption...even if you effectively called me a liar without proof and then tried to act smug about it 😂😂😂

    🤷‍♂️. Sorry guys. The thread asked to share when you got an invite, was excited and shared mine. It's here now so I'll just enjoy it. Don't know abt what's happening in the background etc.

    I didn't mean to offend - was having a laugh based on the earlier message from someone else simply saying "doubt it." and your skeptical tone + general vibe from a couple of the other posts. Sorry - that was my bad- the humour definitely did not translate to text! Answered re: AX8 above

    Hi dude, no worries about the hassle. I'm also very impressed by the sleuthing! I had ordered an AX8 from Fractal around Feb (as per the post you found). Based on vibes (my day job involves strategic foresight and future planning) it felt like a new product was imminent and I sent a "joke"...

    Here's the waitlist confirmation. Would you like to see a birth certificate or something next? lol Fractal has always been great about honouring their word, and providing info when they aren't able to. I'm sure you'll get your invite soon.

    Blu Mix/MoFi into Out 2?

    I'm looking for a portable and battery powered headphone solution for the lack of headphone jack. I've got a pair of Blue Mix Fis. Would they work on their own plugged in to out 2 due to the built in amp, or would I still need something like the Fiio A3? Some people have mentioned using a Zoom...

    FM3 with SS Poweramp/cab + FOH

    Thanks for the responses. Main Q is if there is a way to have output for the path going to FRFR be "FRFR" under amp block settings and output for SS poweramp + cab to have the corresponding output setting. If not, are there any suggestions from Fractal camp about how to get a similar setting? I...

    FM3 with SS Poweramp/cab + FOH

    Hi all, Quick question. Currently using my Axe 3 live w 2 amp blocks. Amp 1 is set to FRFR out and uses a cab sim to go to FOH. Amp 2 is set to SS Poweramp + cab, runs through a separate path that has cab sim disabled and runs through a Gallien Kreuger ( GK )MB800 poweramp section into a...

    Upgrade AX8 to III?

    I've got the 3 with an FC6 but just ordered an AX8. Plan is to keep the 3 permanently wired at home for recording and use the AX8 for gigs and rehearsals. Currently having multiple weekly rehearsals and play a lot of smaller shows with quick turnaround. 3 is def more powerful but I can't beat...

    Wound up going with FC6 over the 12 and am pleasantly surprised

    I've had my heart set on the FC12 since getting my 3 last spring, and moreso after seeing the example layouts. With gigs and rehearsals ramping up for the year, I really needed a foot controller, so bit the bullet on the 6 thinking I would upgrade to the 12 down the line It arrived...

    No sound from Mac by USB

    Pitch Block Improvements in 1.19 beta vs Drop?

    The pitch Block in v1.19 sounds very good! To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the pitch Block and was using my Whammy alongside .The update has very good tracking and a fluid feel. Sounds spot on - even on guitars w a low B and F#/E. Can go from Drop D to Drop B and sounds defined across 8...

    Switching from Helix to Axe- anyone have experience?

    Have both .The Axe FX sounds a lot livelier. It's not that the Helix sounds bad (3rd party IRs are a must though), the Axe just sounds and feels better.

    Implemented Performance View

    I dig the home screen layout, but when playing on a stage, more than a few feet away from the Axe, the preset name/number/active scene is sometimes hard to read. Performance View could have a large preset number/scene along with the names of the amp/cab. Maybe even a scaled down graphical...

    I've had my Axe FX III since last Friday and I still haven't missed Axe Edit (Mac version for 3 isn't out yet ) even after hours of daily playing and editing/exploration. It's a testament to how easy the 3 is to get around. It's intuitive enough that I've been using the front panel exclusively...

    has the axe replaced everything or not?

    I run a Digitech Freqout, Whammy Ricochet in front, a Boss SY300 in the loop, running out through a Strymon Timeline into a Big Sky. I realize the Axe can achieve a lot of what the Timeline can, but it's more for the unique sounds like Ice and the ease of use/editing on the fly. Especially...

    I'm Just Going to Leave This Here

    Damn. Just when I thought my setup was at its apex. Even though I own an XL and MFC I'd happily pick up one of these units for smaller gigs/practices, while keeping the main unit in the studio/save for larger gigs/tours. I also play a lot with new people/session work and this would be so...

    Karnivool

    And also, pointers on bass tone for Simple Boy and Goliath straight from Jon (bass): "the bass sound on Simple Boy was combination of I think either the ODB-3 boss overdrive or XXL Tech 21 pedal through an ampeg rig with the valve being driven and then combined with the DI being distorted by...

    Karnivool

    Straight from Drew's mouth: ""That's a ZVex Fuzz Factory. Amazing little pedals. You ramp up the compressor so it's a really squished narrow sound, nasal I get. It's that in conjunction with hammer-ons plus the other guitar on the right hand sound is playing a semitone out from the main riff so...

    Any SC607b owner?

    I had one for a few months and then returned it in favour of a TAM. I loved that guitar but found it a little limited. Having said that, I was able to get a great sound out of it but to avoid the excess low end you mentioned, I had to run a pre EQ and then cut some of the lows entirely before...

    Fractal baseball cap getting some love.

    I've been a long time Primus fan and have seen both Primus and Les Claypool's assorted projects more times than I can count. As far as Primus goes though, I went to go see them this past weekend and I was blown away - not just because of the performance (because that always happens) - but...

    Arm-band, sweatbands, where to obtain um?

    You can find them at most athletic stores. Some guitarists have also been known to use cut off black/white/whatever colour you want socks. I've tried both the store bought ones and socks and both work really well for free arm mobility and sweaty fingers/slipping picks.

    Ibanez TAM10 Tosin Abasi

    @Tonemeister how are you liking your TAM10? I picked one up a month or so ago and a TAM100 a few months prior to that. Both are similar yet wildly different at the same time. They are both very good guitars, but I found some elements of quality control on the TAM10 lacking. It is still a...
