    Disaster at a gig last night

    This happened to me at a gig last Saturday. Switched off/on and all was well again. Gives you a bit of a fright for sure, especially since I had not brought any back up with me. No idea as to the reason it happened. Won't be travelling without back up again, and, should the issue reoccur, the...

    Marco, cheers, a fabulous idea, please keep it up! Nevertheless, I brilliantly conspired to miss this - can anyone tell me if the new FM3 Turbo can cater for two amp blocks? Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. If so, could someone please point me in the right direction? Cheers!

    Bad Company - Can't Get Enough

    I think that you will need to do this in Custom Scales as, so far as I remember, the harmony line is a mixture of 3rds and 4ths.

    Ok, so.....Have not had much time to mess about with the FM9 since the original post, but, eventually, I sat down to do a Factory Reset as kindly advised.

    FM9 Faulty footswitch

    Update: This seems to be a firmware problem. There is text on the scribble strip, the light on the footswitch is activated when it is loaded from FM-9 Edit, but off otherwise. It is just dead in terms of manual operation. So much for the two years of excited anticipation on the Waitlist! The...

    Wow, that sounds crazy on a piece of gear that costs £2000 in the UK. How do mean you 'rotated' the switches? Did you loosen the nut that binds it to the top of the unit? Cheers.

    FM9 Faulty footswitch

    Dead means it just doesn't work. By manually I mean by activating it with my foot. Yep, the surrounding lights are on and the text is displayed. It's scene 4 in one of my presets, but it just doesn't work.

    FM9 Faulty footswitch

    Has anyone had a problem with the onboard footwitches on the FM9 Turbo? I just got mine and the fourth footswitch is dead for both presets and scenes when used manually. It loads from FM9 edit, but once I change footswitch it is dead again.

    Timeout Rant!!

    Tonight's episode was a 'message timeout' while re-loading the latest firmware. Not had that before. The MFC was nowhere in sight so it may well be that there is an issue with Axe Fx unit itself. This was then followed by timeouts when simply moving patches to different locations while using...

    Timeout Rant!!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I would have to buy an adapter for the Axe II, so that's another £40 into Fractal's coffers, it's just becoming a money pit to be honest - and with no guarantee anywhere in sight of a satisfactory resolution. It is beyond me why the brains that can design, understand...

    Thank you very much for your help and the info about the cables. Maybe I will look at another way of hooking up the Axe and the MFC. Alternately I am really tempted just to flog it all and go back to simpler but much more reliable set ups! As we all know, gear has to be reliable in live...

    Warrior says much more accurately and succinctly what I was trying to say - it is certainly the 'texture' - good word - that I meant.

    Saturation switch settings????

    This may sound like a really dumb question, and it most probably is, but why is it that in the amp blocks in the Mk II the default setting for the saturation switch is 'OFF' and not 'IDEAL'?? Surely the latter would seem more logical?? Am I missing something here? Cheers for any advice. Geoff, UK

    Thanks for your reply, Chris. I'd like the seamless switching above all. I think the Axe + MFC101 is a tad blunt and noisy in terms of changing presets, certainly compared to the Boss GT100 - not that there is any comparison at all to be made in other respects.
