    Midi Guitar 2 with FM3?

    Thanks Petrocelli for your detailed explanation. That sounds like what I was thinking about. The FM3 USB interface sounds like it's working for you. Any glitches?

    Midi Guitar 2 with FM3?

    Thanks for the reply stefankasprik. I wonder if the effects loop block would work through the built-in USB interface of the FM3. I'm looking for an easy way to route the guitar to the MBP to trigger the MG2. I used to do this sort of thing with my AXFX XL+and it worked but the MIDI-over-USB...

    Is anyone using MIDI Guitar 2 with the FM3? I’m interested to know if anyone has it working utilizing the USB interface. I was able to do this before with my AxeFX2+ which i no longer own. If you are, I’d like to hear your setup and experiences with it.

    Duty / Shipping to Canada?

    That’s right! We (BC) voted “No” But the point is there’s no duty so when you order from Fractal you get charged the tax that your province charges and then the shipping and that’s all you pay. No surprises which is nice. And the shipping is very fast. When I ordered my AX8 it arrived in 2 days.

    Like David said the pedal you have only sends 0 or 127 as a command. It may be that you need to calibrate the pedal so it will be read correctly by the Axe FX. It may not be sending a full range 0-127 value so it wouldn’t be reading the two extremes and wouldn’t work in that case. There...
