    Trying to find the lightest weight option for protecting axe fx 3

    The Shield Plus is another good option to look into...more ammo capacity for carrying the Axe FX III to rehearsal areas in sketchy parts of town!

    They All Sound the Same, It's About Workflow

    1 is the amp. 4 is the Fractal. You can hear it in the top end- #1 has a more musical sizzle, while #4 is missing a little off the very top, but still preserves the same texture of distortion.

    Jeries Alfreih has passed on

    Oh my goodness! While I had never met him, I am also local to Phoenix and we’ve chatted via Craigslist about some guitar deals. Praying and thinking of his family during this time.

    FC-12 Slow When Banking up/down (Preset +1, Preset -1)

    DSP usage plays into this. I've found that 85%+ DSP usage correlates to a slower FC12 experience in some cases. Even higher, and it can slow to a crawl.

    Anyone switched from Kemper to Axe-Fx III?

    Hi Greg, I'm the OP of the comment you replied to. I've been loving Cygnus, and my thoughts have not changed toward the Kemper since writing my post. The gap has simply gotten bigger with how good Cygnus is. Truly feel blessed and fortunate to have such a great piece of gear that the Axe FX III is!

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 8 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #5

    Thank you, Bill! I was just thinking last night “I’d love to hear the base of his presets.” Looking forward to trying it out and adapting to my use at church- all “in the box”.

    FC-12 and Temple Audio

    The screws on my FC-12 line up with the holes on my Temple Audio board. I took off the rubber side-feet on mine for a more streamlined look, but the alignment shouldn't change either way.

    What's up with this, is it for real? :(

    God forbid the sum of the processors and components cost less than what the unit sells for. The amount of value I have received from my Axe FX III, and previously my Axe FX II vastly outweigh the comparatively small cost of $2,XXX I paid for each. Also, God forbid Fractal Audio makes a profit on...

    Anyone switched from Kemper to Axe-Fx III?

    Most of the users agreed with the exaggerated midrange and compression characteristics. A lot of them also felt that it was more "tubelike" than the Fractal (likely due to the compression), and also stated that the Fractal had more fizz than the Kemper. Well...it does have more fizz because...

    Anyone switched from Kemper to Axe-Fx III?

    I bought a Kemper for kicks and giggles because a good deal came up locally. Here is a copy-pasted "takeaway" I posted on a Kemper Facebook group after spending some time with the unit. To add onto this, there is a really exaggerated midrange that I can't dial out of any profile, and there...

    Wish Brad Paisley - Z Wreck with Blue and Gold 2x12 cabinet

    Ownhammer has his Bogner 2x12 cab pack with an Alnico Gold mic'd with a vintage 421 similar to Brad's setup. It also includes a Silver which is less accurate to Brad's setup, but I've been able to get very close tones with the Wrecker models.

    AFIII Suhr Badger 30 - Tube vs. Fractal Shootout

    I recently acquired an older Suhr Badger 30 in a trade, and decided to do a quick shootout between the real amp and the model. The real tube Badger is running into a Fryette Powerstation 2 acting as the load box with the "edge" switch enabled into the Axe FX for cabinet modeling and reverb. The...

    Who makes a nice 2-button switch suitable for FC-12?

    I also bought two of those, and then disassembled and plastidipped it black. Turned out super sharp, and the momentary switches feel super solid and are very quiet.

    How to use Voes MX18 with Parallels? Help!

    Many forum members seem to have Parallels working fine with the Voes software. Another alternative is to use Bootcamp and install Windows on a separate partition of your Mac hard drive. Apple wrote Bootcamp, and it essentially turns your computer into a windows machine (No emulation or...

    Brad Paisley/Tele Tones

    I have great success with Brad Paisley tones by using the Wrecker Rocket model in combination with the 212-BOG-SH cab pack from Own Hammer. The Alnico Gold 421 cabinet nails this. http://www.ownhammer.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=154&products_id=362

    SeeD - Bass preset for 1.06 Q. Have fun

    This preset is awesome! I have been using my Axe FX II in a Christian college Chapel service with 7,000+ people every Monday morning for electric guitar, and my roommate is going to be using my Axe FX next week to run his bass direct using this preset. Thank you!

    Major feedback issues with FRFR setup.

    I am pretty positive it's due to the fact you're using single coils with a high gain amp, combined with a loud volume. The issue wouldn't be as prominent if you put noiseless pickups into your Telecaster, or used humbuckers (noiseless pickups are humbuckers after all). Same thing happens to me...

    FW18- WOW! thrown together in 2 minutes. OH Cab too!

    I really like the overall guitar tone! I'd be interested to hear this in a mix to hear how the reverb holds up. For me personally, I'd tone down the reverb because it might muddy things up, but once again, it'd be interesting to hear in a mix :)

    Help Needed With Assigning MFC-101 Footswitches to MIDI

    Hey guys! So what I am trying to do with my MFC-101 is assign a button on my MFC (button 10) to act as a momentary switch to control the reverb hold parameter. I was thinking I could maybe assign button 10 to act as external controller 2 over MIDI but I am having nothing but trouble with it. If...

    FW 18.04 Beta - Running With The Devil

    FW 18.04 Beta - Running With The Devil

    So what I did for the cab was completely throw away the Cab Block and then opened up a tone-match block. I then proceeded to Tone Match the guitar intro to Unchained off the Fair Warning album and did some more tweaks in the amp EQ section, boosting mainly around 2-4k a few db.

    Thanks for the advice man! This is why I enjoy these forums...constructive criticism!

I definitely found a few multitracks I...

    FW 18.04 Beta - Running With The Devil

    So this is a tone-matching attempt i've been working on for a little bit using the 1959SLP Jump amp with everything turned to 10, variac set at 83%, and a tone match from the song "Unchained". I panned the raw amp+cab hard left and the 100% wet reverb and delay hard right. I think it's pretty...

    Any way to physically lock up Axe Fx?

    Funny you mention this, because the thought just popped in my head earlier today. The cost per year that I'll pay to insure my guitars and gear while i'm at college will be nothing compared to how devastated I would be if they went missing.

    Any way to physically lock up Axe Fx?

    So I am going to be going to college within the next month, and I currently don't have any sort of rack to keep my Axe Fx in. Because dorm theft can be an issue, I don't want to take any chances.
