    "Null Filter" or Volume for solo boost?

    I use a Filter with at 0db with a 3db boost at 750k for solo boosts. Works great and makes preset leveling a breeze.

    When controlling “Vol Incr - Vol Decr” from MCF101, the settings are stored automatically?

    Faslink vs Ethercon (Ethernet)

    Update: Ethercon seems to work well. However, I tested my scene freezing issues but rapidly hitting my scene buttons and was still able to get the Axe & MFC stuck on a scene. I should mention I have never actually gotten the “Name Timeout” error message. What I’ve been calling Name Timeout is...

    Faslink vs Ethercon (Ethernet)

    Weird right? Honestly, I've never tried straight MIDI. I have a spare Ethercon cable from my pre-Fractal days with the TC Electronic GSystem. I'll have to try both. The timeouts have never killed a show, but there are at least a few gigs every month where the rest of the band awkwardly stares at...

    Faslink vs Ethercon (Ethernet)

    I’ve used various manufacturers but mostly Hosa and Neutric generally 3’, 15’, and 25’. I’ve noticed that the timeouts at least seem to occur when the power is shady. However, they’ve also happened when plugged into a battery backup. The timeouts especially occur when switching Scenes or...

    Faslink vs Ethercon (Ethernet)

    Hello all! I’ve been running my MFC version 3 via Faslink for about 2 years and have had intermittent but frequent name timeouts with a variety of XLR cables. Is ethernet/ethercon a more robust connection? Thanks!

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.02 Firmware Release

    No timeout issues here. I’m running a Mac with Sierra and have concurrently used Presonus Universal Control with a Sudiolive as a FireWire interface, Studio One, Amazing Slowdowner and AxeEdit without an issue. Well worth the update for the Vox styled amps alone.

    MFC

    Correct. It’s not a real-time editor like Axe Edit. You import a Sysex from the MFC, edit away then upload. If you’re just organizing or assigning IA buttons, it may be faster to edit directly on the MFC. However, if you’re organizing songs or sets it could be really useful. I just use one...

    How many scenes you really use? Is 8 overkill?

    I only use one preset for live and at home. I use 7 Scenes so I've tried to get a lot of mileage out of that one preset. 1) Twin 2) Twin w/ TS808 3) Morgan AC20 4) Morgan AC20 w/ TS808 5) Plexi 6) Plexi w/ TS808 7) Lead. Currently it's a Twin with a Ruckus.

    Some advice needed please (lengthy!)

    Have you considered renting a larger PA for the event? Around me you can rent a pair of 1000 watt Yorkville tops for $65 for the weekend. If you enjoy your sound already, why change it? You can always factor the extra cost into your rates.

    Horror gig - Axe stopped working mid-gig!

    The only issue I've had with my AFX2XL/MFCIII has been the dreaded name timeout on the MFC when connected via fastlink when changing presets too fast. This has happened with various XLRs. I've rectified by using Recall on the MFC to enter preset mode. I had a really freaky scene issue once...

    FOH and ASM-12 Connections w/ Separate Output Control

    FOH and ASM-12 Connections w/ Separate Output Control

    I use Out 2 for monitoring. As long as your cable runs are short, you should be fine. I have my Axe in a rack sitting in top of my Matrix FR12. I just use a 3' cable.

    How different is the Echoplex preamp from EP Booster, Tape Dist in drive block, & jsantiago's IR?

    Love the EP Booster. I have 2, one in my traditional amp rig (Silverface Deluxe Reverb) and one in my acoustic rig. I remember seeing a PEQ sysex posted here or on the Axechange some time ago but can't seem to find the preset (search function used).

    Your room is shit. Fix your room.

    You could rent a PA speaker (better yet a pair) and try monitoring through that. I had the opposite problem with the factory presets initially as my tele has Suhr SSH+ pickups which is really mid heavy. Probably the best way to get used to the Axe is treat it like a real amp and pedalboard...
