    Fasten the FM3 to a board with magnets?

    Thanks for all the feedback guys, conclusion is to stay clear of the neo magnets (for this purpose at least), and I'll try to find a sweet spot for the minimum amount of 3M Dual Lock (black) needed to make it come on/off easily.

    Fasten the FM3 to a board with magnets?

    Maybe someone official could weigh in on this idea? Would there be any risk of damaging anything using 4 small rubber coated rare earth magnets for fastening the FM3? @FractalAudio ??
  3. Richard Lainegard

    Fasten the FM3 to a board with magnets?

    Well, you fasten the magnets themselves on the board with screws so that won't be an issue, only the FM3 (or other unit) needs to have a magnetic surface)

    Fasten the FM3 to a board with magnets?

    Got an idea after seeing the system Blug uses for his Amp1, where you fasten two small Neo magnets to the board and those then hold the amp1 in place. Got to thinking that 4 or so of those type of magnets (each holding like 5-10kg's each depending on where you get them) could hold down the Fm3...

    Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

    Focal's will be replaced by Genelec's, but other than that things are pretty much set. I'm routing all the amps (the Zuta in the picture as well as three others in an amp rack), through the Axe for cab and FX, so it's pretty much acting as a hub.

    Is there a hardware difference in the Midi chip between AX8 and FX8?

    Is the midi chip identical in the AX8 and FX8? What I'm getting at is, if there's a hardware difference that enables the FX8 to send both PC and CC messages, or if it's only the software midi block that would be needed for the AX8 to be able to perform the same midi duties as the FX8?

    Very! And, even though the EV-1 is about 1cm too long in the bottom, I think I'll try to squeeze it in there. I've had a guitar case like this, and there usually is some give in the hard foam padding. So I think the EV1 should fit, even if some brute force might be required :cool:

    Oh, and someone might have mentioned this in some other thread. But would it be possible to take the AX8 apart and remove the handle (I know this might void warranty etc, just want to know if it is possible, or if the handle has been welded in place from inside the lid)

    About the height, they seem to be lower profile than the Pedaltrain boards. Also less steep of an angle. At their highest the PT2 measures 3.5" and the Temple 2.6" So if people are using PT boards with their AX's, one should be just fine with a Temple for both total height and angle.
