    Wish Ability to control Virtual Capo semitone steps up/down with external foot switch

    It would be great if one could assign a couple of external foot switches as controllers to move semitone steps up and down on the Pitch block when set to Virtual Capo. At the moment, this parameter can only be assigned to an expression pedal. There are some workarounds such as using different...

    Unity Gain

    Does the statement that out knobs fully CW provide unity gain is also true Out 1 and 2 knobs? I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long time. There are tons of posts talking about this topic, but I never I found a conclusive answer for the Axe Fx III. The manual indicates that...

    Strange behaviour footswitch via FC12

    Thanks so much for your super fast reaction. I don't have time right now to test this, but looked into my axe configuration screen and indeed I have one of the switches behaviour selected differently (virtual toggle) than the other three, so this seems to be clearly the issue. Cheers mate!

    Strange behaviour footswitch via FC12

    Hi guys, Today I got a new Boss FS-6 dual footswitch to add it to my setup. While configuring it, I came across a strange issue. I connected the FS-6 with a stereo cable (from the A/B out) into the FC-12 1/2 switch input. then I went ahead and selected the latching type at both of the FS6...

    Great power amp options for axe fx3?

    Unsing a Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 with a Mesa 1x12 mini recto cab. I play only at home, so I do not need loud volumes. It sounds pretty transparent to me. tried the Axe Fx III with both my Adam A7x and my Adam s2v monitor speakers, but for a reason I prefer much better to run the Axe...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 20.01 Public Beta (Beta 2)

    Hi! Would anyone be so kind to help me understand if the new parameters Speaker Drive, Speaker Breakup and Speaker Thumb are applicable to systems with SS amp and real cab? (Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 + mesa recto mini 1x12”). I understand that, for example, with my setup, it is advisable...

    Expression Pedal Advice

    I have two expressions pedals: 1- One of them is always assigned to the volume effect. 2- The other one is assigned to control simultaneously both the wah and the whammy blocks. These two blocks are arranged in parallel and they join together into - multiplexer. This multiplexer selects on or...

    Speaker Drive / output mode?

    Thanks for the reply, @DCL86. Then, the note on the manual is probably a bit misleading, as it first states that the mode is not intended for Class D current feedback amps, and next goes on to naming a few examples of Class D amps (among which it cites the Power stage). While it is true that...

    Speaker Drive / output mode?

    Hi there I posted the below message in another thread today, but realised it probably would fit better here: In essence, quite confused at the moment about the output mode I should use for my application, based on the info from the blocks manual: If the SS PA + cab mode is not intended for...

    "SS Poweramp + Cab" Output setting and Class-D amps

    Hi guys. As the new speaker compression algorithm of Cygnus is being rolled out, I got to doing some research to see if I managed to get a better grip on the whole sopeaker compression modeling and the various parameters around it do. I was under the impression that this parameter will not...

    Power Amp

    I play home only and use a SD powersrage coupled with a mesa recto 1x12 cab. I did the move after years of playing through my adam a7x studio monitors (first with my axe fx ii and then the iii) and, although sound was amazing, i missed the real guitar cab sound so. So far i am enjoying this...

    Behavior of FC-12 switches upon scene change

    Hi guys! i have the main layout of my FC12 arranged so that the lower row of switches are assigned to scenes 1 thru 6 and the switches on the upper row are assigned to individual block on/off or channel toggle functions. ideally, changing scene would revert the changes made to individual...

    How many expression pedals do you use?

    I use 2, both plugged into the axe iii. However, I use 3 expression pedal effects: Wah, whammy and volume in all presets. To do this, i have pedal 1 assigned to volume permanently, and pedal 2 assigned to both a whammy function (on the pitch block) and the wah function (wah block). These last...

    Setting a given speaker impedance curve as Global?

    Hi guys! I was wondering if it is possible to set any given speaker impedance curve as a global setting? Reason is that I use a SS power amp + guitar cab (Mesa recto 1x12) and thus I always use the same parameters there. same would actually apply to the Output mode under Speaker Drive page...

    A/B pedal as footswitch

    Just to report back my findings, I tried it and it does work, thanks. Only issue is that it requires a jack to be plugged in the IN connection too (I can then use either the A or the B OUT connected to the FC). I guess that that jack (IN) acts as an on/off switch to the pedal (I suppose it is...

    Thanks guys for your replies. @mr_fender, what you suggest is like an insert cable, but having both mono ends connected to the same (mono) side of the other end?

    A/B pedal as footswitch

    Hi everyone. I had a quick (and probably stupid) question. I own a boss AB-2 two-way selector foot switch which i dont normally use, and I was wondering if it can be used as a footswitch via the pedal switches of the fc12? I am almost certain that this is not possible, but wanted to be sure...

    [implemented] Preset level VU meters visible from Axe-Edit main screen

    Last weekend I spent quite some time playing around with some new presets and I kept wishig I had a permanent VU level meter accessible right from Axe Edit. Meters such as the gain reduction on the compressor or the fantastic recent addition of the Headroom meter at the amp block make life so...

    Effect bypass independent from scene change

    Hi guys. I've spent a good deal of time going through manuals, Wiki and old forum posts, but could not find the answer to what I am looking for. I thought I would open a new thread. I have my Axe setup in a way that all my band sounds live in a single preset. I use scenes to change between...

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    For those of you who could be experiencing a similar issue, just wanted to let you guys know that the humbuster cable, seems to have solved the problem. I am still puzzled as to what could be the problem with a normal guitar cable, but well, at least it works now. Thanks guys for your help!

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    Today I had time to try if using a guitar cable instead a XLR To TRS would work. Somehow it did not. Same noise as before. I am now using the Left jack from Output 1. I was pretty convinced that this would work for sure. It made all sense that it was the wrong cable that was causing the...

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    I asked Seymour Duncan and they confirm that a) Indeed the input is unbalanced b) i should set the axeat -10db One question i was wondering about is: Is the humbuster cable wired the same way as a XLR to TS cable? in other words, if i use the XLR-TS from the output2 into the unbalanced...

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    Yes. I will try output 3. I have ordered a humbuster cable to give it a try too.
  31. Vecordia

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    Indeed, Seymour Duncan does not provide a detailed manual, from what i am seeing online it seems that it is indeed unbalanced. would a XLR to TS work, or better use other output (3 or 4) with TS to TS (or even Humbuster) cable?

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    Thanks for the tip! It makes sense. I am currently using output 1 in stereo to my audio interface, so I will just change this to output 2 so I can use the TS out of output 1. should i run it at 4 or -10 db?

    Buzz noise when connecting axe III to powerstage amp

    Ok. I recently got a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 to run my Axe Fx III through a 1x12 mesa cab for home practice. Thing is that I am getting an annoying buzz noise, similar to that when the guitar cable is disconnected from the guitar end. I go from the output 2L (XLR to TRS cable) into the...

    Getting acoustic reinforcement at home with a cab

    It’s been over three years since I happily joined the Fractal world with my first Axe Fx II XL. Today, i am even happier with the Axe Fx III/FC6 Combo.

    Question about the Mark series graphic EQ modeling

    Thanks so much for the confirmation!! I guess that a s-taper will be one in which, for example, 30% of travel will correspond to, say, 10% of output and 70% of travel does 90% of output? Does this mean that at the model will behave in a smoother way than the real amp at the begining up until...

    Question about the Mark series graphic EQ modeling

    Thanks guys for your replies. Being the nominal range of the real amp +12/-12dB, is there wny way to check if the range of the axe is also +-12dB? The axe’s scale goes from -10 to +10, but i would say those are not dB, and rather a numeric division of the scale.

    Question about the Mark series graphic EQ modeling

    Does anyone know if the sliders from the 5 control graphic eq of the Mesa Mark model (CII+ and CII++) have an identical range as in the real amp. In other words, for example, I put a slider on the Axe fx model at , say, +10 or -10, does that same slider on the real amp at max or min position...

    Is this normal?

    I have noticed that since my previous firmware update or so (3.01) my startup screen first shows some text loading before it goes to the AXE FX III logo. I wanted to wait and see if with a new update it would go away, but I just uploaded the version 3.02, and it is still there. Is this normal?

    Implemented Add Gain Reduction Meter Bar to Gate/Expander Block

    I was wondering if it would it be possible to add the gain reduction meter bar to the Gate/Expander block? In the gate from the IN block, there is a meter already, so I assume it should no be difficult to do the same there. I find this meter very helpful while adjusting gate settings, especially...

    Metallica live tone needed

    As far as I know, Kirk used a mix of Mesa Recto and Randall before switching to Fractal. Not sure what modelling approach he particularly uses now in Fractal. Likely dual amp setup too, but unsure of models. Regarding pickups, as far as i am aware, Kirk uses active EMGs in most of his guitars...

    Metallica live tone needed

    Indeed, unix-guy. You are right, that must be it. Since only two amp blocks are possible per preset and they use two already for heavy tones, in a scene change they would necessarily need to implement x/y at least in one of the amp blocks, which would lead to the sound gap. Regarding the heavy...

    Metallica live tone needed

    By the way, I have always wondered why they keep running a separate Axe Fx for cleans and for heavy tones, to then use a GCX analog switcher to switch between them. In the video, Chad claims that it is for instant changing, but could not they do that also with scenes or channels? I may be...

    Metallica live tone needed

    I agree that the IIC++ model can bring you fairly close to today’s Metallica live sound. However, Hetfield combines the CII++ with a Diezel VH4 to get that amazing signature sound he gets. He did before Metallica started using Axe Fx, and he does now too. I also absolutely love that tone and...

    [implemented] Preset level VU meters visible from Axe-Edit main screen

    Hadn´t seen that, James. Indeed, pretty much same request. I've just done a very quick and dirty recreation of what it could look like: - Added the 1L/1R and 2L/2R VU meters at top of window so they are always visible (had to move tuner and tap buttons away to make the space) - Added the...

    [implemented] Preset level VU meters visible from Axe-Edit main screen

    I use the VU meters of the AXE to adjust the overall level of every preset all the time. Having added them in the AXE III’s layout view is very useful now, but since the screen is reset to the home page with every preset switch, I end up having to manually go every time to the layout screen. I...
