    Axe-Fx II XL vs HELIX

    i own both the Axe FX II XL+ and the Helix (the one with the scribble strips, crappy pic included) and I will agree with what was said earlier in the thread. They both have their places. They both have pro's and cons. The Helix just has more cons than the Fractal. But, for rehearsal, and...

    Axe fx noise when booting up

    when powering the axe ultra up, as the lights all flash on inputs and outputs, it makes a horrendous noise not unlike shaking an old amp with a reverb tank. Secondly, the input levels are really low. It's been intermittent, but getting worse as time goes on. Any clues? Could it be a bad input...

    Ive done something wrong on outputs

    I am pretty sure that when I ipdated and looked in there, it said "copy out 1 to out 2" .. so I am pretty sure I just need to change that to 'echo' ... I think you are right! Thank you!

    Ive done something wrong on outputs

    hey there Simeon! I run the XLR to FOH and the output 2 quarter inch to the Matrix power amp to an Atomic CLR FRFR wedge :) Thank you!

    Ive done something wrong on outputs

    OK, so on my Axe Fx MKII I was running FOH on output 1 XLRs and output 2 to my matrix power amp .. so I upgraded to the Axe Fx II XL+ and I get output 1, but nothing on output 2 .. did I miss something? LOL Thanks for any input you may have! Kevin

    My problem is bigger than i thought ....

    OK, spoke with Charlie this afternoon via the phone ... he is pretty sure the memory chip is bad ... hence it not letting me save changes and having difficulty loading the factory presets ... shipping it north tomorrow so he can work his magic on it. :)

    My problem is bigger than i thought ....

    Matt from Fractal emailed (on a Saturday night) and said Charlie was going to take a look at my problem, they are already guessing it may be a bad memory. Wow ... all i can say is, thanks Cliff and crew for being so diligent on after the sale support! :)

    So i had this posted down below in the software grouping .. but now i just tried to build a preset manually, saved it with a goofy name into preset 001, saved it from the face of the axe fx, used the shuttle wheel and navigated to preset 2, then back to preset 1 and poof, gone ...

    Funny way to mess with the audience / amp snobs....

    In all actuality, the marshall series 9000's were only less than 4 inches thick . so even the ISP sticks out further than the marshall does into the rear space, and the new SKB's have a generous gap to promote airflow around, that being said, it doesn't even get but maybe 2-3 degrees warmer in...

    Well....doing my first 100% FRFR gig tomorrow. Nervous!

    But, you know, I moved away from the 4x12 route some years ago because so many bands were trying to get better FOH sound, so we started flipping our cabs around backwards on stage and mic'ing them, so I migrated down to a 2x12, then as I got older and the style of music started changing, i went...

    Power amp simulations on or off when recording into interface to DAW?

    I'm looking at the directions for your Forte input loom now ... it says that both the 1/4" inputs are TRS, but are line/instrument inputs ... so yes, you should be able to plug your output from your Axe Fx straight into the 1/4" input with a mono cable, from everything i am reading

    Power amp simulations on or off when recording into interface to DAW?

    so, let me ask you this ... are you running that xlr to 1/4" adapter to expound on the 'performance' gains of using the XLR outs on the Axed FX? have you tried just using the 1/4" unbalanced outputs just to see if the noise issue goes away?

    I am honestly, starting to lean further away from it being an axe fx problem ...
