    FS FS: Axe FX3 Mark II + FC-12 (and optional SKB rack)

    I'm putting up my Axe FX3 Mark II + FC-12 for sale. I've hardly used both of them for a while, and it's time to clean up my studio. Both have never left my studio, and are in mint condition. There are some light scuff marks on the FC-12 (given it's a foot controller after all) but not really...

    OMG 12 download - can't find it

    Sorry I thought it was called OMG12 - a layout for the FC12. Maybe I'm just confused :( It's the layout with 2-3 perform pages. Perform 2 has the effects, along with tuner/tap tempo. Perhaps that is the default layout for FC12? I recently bought a new Axe unit and right now when the FC12...

    Guitar pick harshness

    Hey folks, I have a Friedman Cali with the stock Friedman bridge pickup. It is a bright pickup in general. I love the Bog Street picks - some of the best picks I have ever used but they are also bright. The problem is - the combination of these two leads to a very harsh/bright pick sound. I...

    SLO 100 Lead with Beta 10, basically default settings with Bright Switch off. This is going into my Matrix GTX1000FX and my speaker cab. Rock heaven. I had never been a fan of SLO in the past, but now - oh my gosh, I think this is going to be my go-to Rock amp.

    ISSUE FIXED: FC6 bank size Max not holding

    Hmm now that I re-read the manual, the Upper Limit is for the Bank, not the Preset. So 128 banks looks right based on a bank size of 4. I remember I was not able to get to preset numbers beyond 128.. it kept going from preset 128 back to 1 when I pressed the Bank up. I will need to re-try again...

    ISSUE FIXED: FC6 bank size Max not holding

    To be specific, it looks like the Upper Limit is 128 and cannot be changed.. and that seems to be case on 5.05 FW as well. I'm using an FC6 with a bank size of 4.

    AFIII Mesa vs Marshall - Which one do you prefer?

    First live gig - any tips?

    Update: Axe Fx 3 performed flawlessly, my playing - not so much :) I used my Boss ES-8 to control the unit, and had no problems at all. Way better than using my MFC-101 for sure. I found the ES8 to have a surprising level of capability under the hood - should easily carry me, until some distant...

    ML Amp Pack - Brit Silver based on Marshall Silver Jubilee from '87

    If it was just the bass then it's fine.. but based on past experience with tweaking amp settings, it isn't that straight-forward.. typically something else will also need to change to compensate. I'll play around with it some more as well. Miko - any other suggestions?

    ML Amp Pack - Brit Silver based on Marshall Silver Jubilee from '87

    Update: cab emulation output sounds better to my ears (Atomic CLR, with the sample cab), but I still feel it's too bass heavy. I also recorded the tone and compared the output with my Yahama HS8 - same thing - too much bass. If I reduce the bass a couple of notches then I like it better, and I...

    ML Amp Pack - Brit Silver based on Marshall Silver Jubilee from '87

    Tried this amp pack last night - haven't spent too much time on it yet. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed. After the stellar Mesa pack, I had high expectations ..

    First live gig - any tips?

    Thanks for the tips - I will try to bump up the volume as much as I can today and see how it sounds. I'll learn how to edit the cab block (for EQ), and the global EQ on the front panel. If someone can move this topic to General Discussion, that will be great, I couldn't figure out how to do it :)

    Ideas for preset management

    Thanks, Chris, this is exactly what I wanted. The video was very helpful.

    Splawn Austin Buddy preset - just wow!

    Stereo - one FRFR, one guitar cab

    Hey folks, currently I have a guitar cab (which I power through a Matrix GT1000) and an Atomic CLR.

    Output audio stops when changing MIDI parameters

    I was playing around with my MFC - trying to get it to work with my Axe3. Several times I noticed that output audio completely stopped. I had to reboot my Axe3 to restore audio output again. I didn't note down if it was tied to any specific MIDI parameter change. Possible bug?

    The “What” and “Why” of Scene Controllers

    AX8 V7.01 Public Beta

    Updated to the 7.01 Beta yesterday. I randomly picked the Trainwreck Rocket amp. Nothing else in the signal chain (Output 1 going to a Matrix/cab). At -22dB in the mixer, the signal was so hot that it was clipping badly. Wasn't quite expecting that. Switched to a different amp (Plexi 50) -...

    Turning off power amp modeling

    For now I'm using a power amp from a head (effects return) to drive the cab. Eventually I might buy a solid state power amp like the Matrix.

    Turning off power amp modeling

    Interesting! Will the Amp1 (no power amp) + Amp 2 (flat, just for the power amp sim) == Amp1 with power amp? In other words, do all Amps have essentially the same power amp modeling? I will have to try this regardless, perhaps the tonal difference between the two may not be significant.

    Taylor ES acoustic and FX8

    Thanks, John P. Supposedly the Taylor ES actually can put out a balanced signal. Their recommendation is to plug it direct into a mixer/PA with a TRS->XLR cable. That would work, except that I actually want to use my FX8 effects. What caught my eye was the "POST-IN" input on FX8 - the specs...
