    Not a Bug FM9 Forgets Bypass State

    My FM9 is intermittently forgetting bypass states of blocks when it is power cycled. I played a set and when I got home tone was completely different because a block was not enabled. I also have blocks that are always on and after re starting the unit they will be off. I currently have to go...

    Selecting Layouts with external pedal

    I have all the stand in switches used up. Is there a way to select a different layout with one of the pedal switches?

    Using external switches to select channels

    Is there a way to use external switches to select channels? I would like to use 4 momentary switches to select the 4 channels of the mixer block. If I did this would these switches overrule the channel setting in the scenes? I would like the mixer channels to stay where I put them when changing...

    Stand in switch bug?

    I have 4 stand in switches set up and they function correctly except for the layout links don’t work. Is this design intent or a bug? If I use the FC switches the layout links work as expected but when using the stand in switches they don’t.

    Who all is running out of CPU?

    I just got an Axe FX III and my kitchen sink preset is maxing out the CPU already! Most of the extensive CPU is caused by my need to have seamless switching and spillover between multiple delay tempo subdivisions while also having access to multiple levels of gain from my amps. I've already done...

    Wish Add Controller Max and Min to Performance Screen

    It would be very useful to have the max/min controller parameters on the performance tab. I am using Control Switches to change the gain in the amp block and it would be nice to be able to quickly adjust the amp gain without having to use the front pannel to go into the controller menu.

    Connecting Phone to Axe FX III

    One of the cool features of the Axe FX III is the ability to plug an MP3 player or phone into one of the inputs and route it in at the end of your signal chain. I learn a lot of new songs constantly and this is extremely helpful because I dont need any external gear (other than a cable) to mix...

    Popping During Scene Change

    Just got my Axe Fx III last night and created a kitchen sink preset. I noticed after spending about an hour creating the preset that when I switch scenes (using scene toggle on the FC12) that I get a very loud pop. It doesnt matter which scene I switch from or to, every scene change causes a...

    IR Mute Controller

    Can you use a control switch to mute an IR in the cab block? I'm thinking you could save some CPU on presets that switch between two stereo cab blocks by using a control switch to toggle between two sets of IRs in one cab block.

    Wish External Controller Scene Toggle

    It would be very useful if we could toggle between two scenes using an external controller. I would like to set up 4 external switches to that toggle between 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 ect... just like the scene toggle feature in the FC-X.

    Can I use the pedal jacks on the FC for additional stand in switches

    Can I use the pedal jacks on the FC-12 for additional stand in switches or do they just work with the switch jacks? I would like to have 5 stand in switches.

    Stand In switches and layout links

    Is it possible to have a stand in switch select scene 2 and also link to layout 2 and then have that same stand in switch then select scene 3 and also link to layout 3? I need to have different layouts for each scene and it would be nice to be able to scroll through my scenes using just one...

    Momentary Scene

    Say I have a momentary switch set to select scene 8. Then say I am on scene 1 and hold the momentary switch for 8, when I let off of the switch will the Axe FX iii revert back to scene 1?

    Wish Multiple Mutually Exclusive Groups for Control Switches

    It would be useful if we could have more than one mutually exclusive group of control switches. You could have a mutually exclusive group a and b or something similar.

    Question About Control Switches

    When you have a group of mutually exclusive Control Switches you can only have one of those switches on at a time. My question is, if you hit a Control Switch that is already on will it toggle off? In other words, can you have all Control Switches in a mutually exclusive group off at the same...

    Wish: Mutually Exclusive Switch Groups and Switch Links

    It would be very useful for people who don't use scenes to have the ability to set up mutually exclusive groups of switches on the FC12 and FC6. We have this feature on the Control Switches but it could be very useful for toggling between FX when all the Control Switches are used up. It would...

    How to do this in Axe-Fx III?

    So I’m considering going from my Ax8 to the Axe FX iii, I am wanting to get away from building a different preset for every song and start using a big kitchen sink preset with all the tones I need. Anyway, this is the setup I am wanting. I need to have 5 levels of gain, clean with a comp, gritty...

    Can You Change Amp Channels and FX bypass with the Same External Controller

    Can you use an external controller (a pedal connected to the FC-12) to simultaneously change the amp blocks channel and engage a drive block?

    Ability to Select Sequencer Step with FC Controller

    It would be cool to be able to use an FC foot switch to select a step in the sequencer modifier. For example one could use the sequencer to control delay feedback, or amp gain and use a foot switch to go from a low value, a medium value or a high value. This could work just like scene...

    Tosin Abasi Fluence Pickups

    Anybody tried these? I am wanting some pickups that can do modern heavy metal, classic PAF, Strat quack and tele neck sounds. I was reading about the Tosin Abasi fluences and they seem like they exactly meet my needs. My only problem is I cant find any demos that are showing the pickups ability...

    New QSC Cardioid Sub

    https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KScardSub This looks super cool! If the specs are accurate this should be a really great sub! Two of these center stage would be a pretty monster system. They are low profile enough that you could just lay them on the floor in front of the band so you...

    Visual Metranome

    Anybody know of a visual metronome that is big enough for a whole band to see that would either auto sync to the fractals metronome audio output or store its own presets that could be changed by a MIDI Program Change message?

    Which PA would you rather have?

    Just for fun, Mains 2 JBL PRX835Ws with 2 EV ELX115Ps as monitors or Mains 2 EV ELX115Ps on Yamaha DXS15 subs with 2 Yamaha DXR10s as monitors? Which would be better for the Audience? Which would be better for the band? This is assuming all instruments go direct and the band was using...

    How to get CTRL switch to retain state

    I have a CTRL switch set to boost my reverb level and time and I want to be able to turn it on in scene 1 with a foot switch, change to scene 2 and then back to scene 1 and the CTRL switch still be on. Is there a way to make it remember what it's on off state is per scene?

    Multi Delay Bypass Issue

    I sometimes like my multi delay to run into a reverb in parallel with the main signal path, especially for shimmer type FX. The problem is that when I do that I need to run the mix on the Multi Delay at 100% and when I bypass the Multi Delay I don’t get the delay tails if I sat bypass mode to...

    Basement Studio

    So, I am thinking about building a studio/home theater/band area in my basement! It is currently unfinished and is shaped like the attached picture. I am looking for opinions on how to best use this space. I will either soundproof and apply acoustic treatment to the whole basement area or build...

    Learn Solos or Practice Scales?

    So last Sunday I had to/got to play Everlasting God by Lincoln Brewster. The song has a pretty cool solo which I attempted to learn note for note. Now this solo is a bit above my skill level to play but I was able to nail it about 75% of the time when playing along with the recording. The...

    A better Solution Than Floor Wedges or IEM

    The band I play (PW church band) in has a wireless IEM system that is very nice, I get a clear sound, I can hear all the band members, I can get my guitar to sound pretty dang good! BUT... it just doesn't sound near as good as listening to the FOH!!! There is something about listening to...

    Anybody heard about the REV33? Some Nashville studio guy mentioned it was great in a rig rundown on YouTube. It is supposed to eliminate ringing in the ears when playing long shows with IEMs.

    Wish Down Stroke Switching for Scene Switches and Press and Hold for X/Y on AI

    It would be great for me if we could select down stroke switching for scenes but still retain hold for X/Y on switches assigned to FX Bypass. Unless you can setup scenes where they have a separate function when held there isn't any reason to make them fire on the up stroke. Right now I have the...

    Tips for Saving CPU.

    If you are not using the Y state of a block, go in and make sure it is set to the lowest CPU hog block type. The Ax8 runs at worst case CPU because it already has both X and Y states loaded. I saved about 5% CPU by changing unused Y states to small CPU types for just comp and drive!

    Cant nail this Tone

    hi, I am trying to get the sound in this recording. I am wanting to figure out how to get the swell sounds at around 1:20 and then the guitar parts that are around 1:50 and 2:14 and throughout the song. I think the swells are some sort of modulated delay but I'm not getting the same sound. Is...

    Automatic Double Tracking With The Ax8

    You can do this with a stereo cab block and a delay! After the amp block put in a stereo cab block. Hard pan each cab left and right. After the cab put a delay in parallel and set its input mode to left only, its mix to 100%, balance to 100% left and put the delay time somewhere between 15ms...

    Recommended Cabs For Each Amp

    Copying Presets

    When you save a preset to a new location using the front panel do you end up with two copies of the same preset? One in the original location and one in the new location? I want to save the same preset to multiple locations so I have a better starting point for creating my presets. Thanks!

    Half of My Heart/Dont it lead tone?
