    Running stereo live

    Who runs in stereo live and how do you achieve a wide sound? There are several methods such as the enhancer block, pitch detune, delay one channel, multiple amps, etc. Which one do you use and why?

    Bug: High pitch sound when switching to clean preset

    When I switch from one of the dirty scenes to my clean scene (scene1) there is this high pitched whining sound that lasts for about 5 seconds or so after the scene is engaged. It is not very loud and happens only whenever I switch to the clean scene, I am including the preset. I had tried...

    Digitech "The Drop" pedal vs FM9 VC

    Here is a comparison of the Digitech Drop pedal and the FM9 virtual capo both set to drop the pitch by 1 semitone. Not the best recording, but should be able to hear just how close the VC is to the Drop pedal.

    High and low cut option in the AMP block

    Ever since I have been using Fractal product (Axe FXII, AX8, AXE3, and FM3) I have always used the hi cut and low cut filters in the cab block. I typically use a low cut around 80Hz and a hi cut of around 7300 Hz. I have found this does a good job of getting rid of boom and fizz in the sound...

    Fixed FM3 bug - Freeze with Footswitch Tuner Mode

    I was playing a gig yesterday and ran into a problem with the FM3 becoming unresponsive. I believe it was caused by placing it in tuner mode and leaving it there for a a little while (~30 minutes). When I got back and took it out of tuner mode it would still make sound but not respond to scene...

    Midi Baby with EV2 expression pedal

    I am trying to use the EV2 expression pedal connected to the Disaster Area MIDI baby as a controller for a volume/pan block for my FM3. Can someone point me to any tutorials on how to set this up. I believe I have the Midi Baby configured, I just need to know how to set up in the FM3. I...

    Output mode

    Can we get the output mode to be a global selection. I use my AXE3 sometimes to FOH (FRFR mode) or through a power amp and cab (SS Pwr amp & Cab). I currently have to have to maintain presets for both. A global setting, similar to power amp modeling, would make it much easier.

    Feedback on Wah block

    I am having a problem when I engage the wah block on my preset I get strong feedback even at very low volumes. I imported this preset from my AXE3 which does not exhibit this same behavior. I have included the preset. Scene 7 engages the wah.

    USB jack problem

    My USB jack broke yesterday. I plugged in like I always do and it wasnt connecting to the computer. I just touched the plug and it connected. When I was going to unplug I noticed that the plug was moving around in the socket a lot more than it should. I unplugged and noticed that something...

    Metallica 'Master of Puppets' on Howard Stern

    If you look closely you can see the green screens of the Fractals. Not sure if they are using the Axe FX2 or Axe FX3. But it actually sounds pretty good. Guitars are up front and have a lot of power.

    FC6 question

    Tone of Kings

    I was playing around with the Tone of Kings drive yesterday and noticed that I had to set the drive and the level much higher than most other drive blocks to get the same level of gain. It does sound good but I had to set the drive to about 2 o'clock and the level to about the same. The ts808...

    That was hard. Not.

    I just got the FC6 today. I plugged in the FASLINK (XLR) cable, started AXE-EDIT, programmed 6 scene selects with toggles to scene 8 for leads, and set up the tuner in less than 5 minutes. Amazingly straight forward. Now I just need to update the firmware. Good job FAS for making this easy...

    Using Amp Boost instead of Drive block

    Ever since I have owned and used modelers I have always used an overdrive before the amp for dirty to heavy sounds. I had previously tried just using amplifier gain to get my sound and was never happy with the results. It always seemed like the drive blocks would tame the lows and pump the...

    Tuner wierdness

    I was playing a show yesterday. I have a RJM MM LT foot controller with 2 MIDI cables connected to the AXE3. I was trying to tune my guitar and noticed on the AXE3 itself that my g string was showing 'F' while the LT was showing 'G'. It was clearly in tune as I checked it against the fifth...

    Shaping a clean tone

    Last night I was giging and was noticing my clean sound was a little on the thin sounding side. I am currently using the Double Verb Normal model. I am pushing the gain so that there is a little bit of breakup which helps some. I am also cranking up the mids. But it just doesnt hold up well...

    [FIXED] Bug? Possible issue with auto-engage on wah

    I have set up a wah to auto-engage when the pedal is fully in the toe position. I leave it like this after I am done using it. Now when I switch from my rhythm patch to the lead patch, which uses the wah, I get a glitch kind of sound for a moment. It sounds like the wah is temporarily turning...

    MIDI controller problem

    I am using a Decibel 11 switch doctor. I had it working correctly with the previous USB 1.01 and FW 1.06. I am using mapping where I map PC0 to preset0 scene0. PC1 is mapped to preset0 scene1. etc. This worked flawlessly until I updated the USB and FW to 1.06 and 1.08 respectively. Now all...

    Toggle between Rhythm and Lead

    On my AX8 there was a function where I could assign an external pedal to toggle between scene1 and scene8 using a single button. Is there an equivalent for selecting scenes in AF3?

    Wish Press on already active preset/scene causes control event

    If one of the footswitch buttons is active and pressed again it would issue a control event that we could use. My application would be to use this to turn on a filter and delay for a lead boost. This is different from scene 1/2 toggle and scene 1/8 toggle because it would allow the user to...

    Wish Scene toggling

    I really like the assignable toggle scene 1/2 feature. It is great for changing between a rhythm and lead scene. The restriction is that the rhythm scene is fixed at 1 and the lead scene is fixed at 2. It would be great if we could get a toggle between the current scene that we are on and a...

    AX8 Edit and Cab Lab

    When I had my AXE FX2 MK2 I could have both the AXE EDIT and Cab lab connected to the AXE FX2 at the same time. I am not able to do this with the AX8. Is this the intended behavior? It makes it very difficult to audition cabs. Any advice?

    Possible NAV control issue

    I am new to AX8 so I am not sure how this really works but. If you go to an edit screen say for the amp. I would assume that the NAV rotary should cycle through all of the various parameters. That is not what I am seeing. It will scroll once to a new parameter and then then start to...

    Does anyone else find they have a new favorite amp in different firmware releases

    For a long time my favorite model was the 5153-red. After FW17 it became the 5153-blue. Now my favorite is the Friedman BE. I do still like the others, I just get the best sound out of whatever is my current favorite. I have definitely noticed that all of the amps just getting better on...

    Anyone using Alto TRUESONIC TS115A speakers with AE2?

    pedal jack question

    There are songs that I play that require really short lead sections. This makes it very difficult for me to switch between two buttons in a live setting. My question is this. Is there a single non-powered switch I can connect to the pedal jack to boost the volume and add delay? This would be...

    Latency in scene change

    OK. I had a show last night. This was the first one using the AE2. This is what I noticed. When changing scenes there was a very noticeable drop in volume. I am using the Behringer FCB1010 foot controller so it is possible that it could be the problem. Any ideas?

    studio monitors vs FRFR

    I have a question. My main patch is a 5153-blue amp and the F038 1960A IR. I have tweaked it to where it sounds good in my Tannoy Reveal 501a studio monitors. When I connect to the board for shows and run through our PA it sounds extremely bass heavy. I made sure that my eq on my channel...
