    Using a PEQ with a real cab

    Hi all, Page 38 of the AxeFX3 owners manual shows some example presets. I use example 4 for my set ups. I play live with a SLA 2 & an Orange PPC212 OB. I use output 2 for the amp & cab. Output 1 is used for the PA & headphones. My question is that the PEQ in the routing to output 2 is...

    Stereo or mono for live playing?

    HI All, As many will have seen I am attempting to increase my knowledge of the III in order to be able to use it live... I started using a stereo set up with an SLA amp & 2 Orange 2x12 cabs. I have now refined that, possibly only for a temporary period, to just the one cab. Accordingly I...

    Scene controllers

    Hi, in my continuing quest to tame this beast I am trying to set up a preset that has 3 scenes where each one has slightly more reverb mix. I thought that the best way to achieve this would be to use a scene controller. Accordingly I assigned scene controller 1 to the reverb mix parameter. So...

    Playing live. Low volume problem.

    Hi All, I've been asking a fair questions lately & really appreciate the responses. I bought the AF3 & FC12 recently so it's been a huge learning curve thus far. I've been trying to set it up & tweak it for playing live with the band. Anyway yesterday I was forced into taking it to rehearsal...

    Tips for single coil presets?

    As per the title. Does anyone have any tips or advice for choosing amps/ cabs/ drives for use with single coil guitars. Mostly strats. I'm getting some fantastic sounds with clean sounds, delays, reverbs etc but there's just something amiss when I'm trying to get a crunch or heavier tone. Thin...

    Orange PPC 212 COB

    Hi all, As yet I haven't really got into cabs & IRs. That's a whole new game for Ron...later on. I play live using my Axe FX 3 and an SLA SS Power amp with two open back Orange 2x12 cabs. What I would like is to have one very good IR of this cab so that I can have a fair chance of my presets...

    New FC12 owner question!

    Hi all, I received my new toy yesterday & I am very pleased with it indeed! Having messed around in the interim period whilst on the waitlist with an FCB1010 & a MFC mk1 I am astounded how easy this is to use! It is so well thought out. Just everything about it & the Axe FX3 are superb! Anyway...

    MIDI conventions for block/ scene/ preset selection?

    Hi, I am just starting to program an FCB1010 for control of the Axe & wondered if there are any conventions for which cc numbers to use for various things? I have tried to fathom this out from the manual & there are clues...eg scene select example is #34 plus 0-7 for each one. Are there others...

    Buzzing!

    Hi all, well my new AF3 arrived last week but I had no opportunity to try it until today. Initial thoughts are that it is amazing. Several hours lost wandering through presets & menus so far. Really impressed. I have upgraded from a 2XL but it still seems a massive leap. One observation though...

    Which is better for Axe-Fx III - MFC-101 mark 1 or FCB1010?

    Ok, I have had to wait whilst saving my pennies but I’m nearly there and I’m about to sell my Axe FX II to fund the balance of the purchase price of a III. My question is this...I also have a MFC101 mark I as well as an FCB1010 so should I sell the MFC with the Axe FX? I won’t be able to afford...

    Am I being unreasonable?

    Hi, to the best of my knowledge I haven’t ever posted anything negative regarding any Fractal Product. I have been totally satisfied with my Fractal experience to date. Having, thus far, purchased a brand new FX8 and subsequently also not one but two secondhand Axe FX XL’s along with an MFC101...

    MFC data load won't go past "Songs"

    As per the title. I have successfully dumped data via fractal bot but when I try to reload it it won't work. I have tried 3 different midi cables now & adjusted the delay buffer but it will only load data up to "Songs" & then does no more. Any ideas gratefully received... Gary

    Output EQ

    Hi All, I am in the process of changing my gigging rig from a JVM410H, Orange 2x12 & FX8 to using my Axe FX with an SLA2 and the same orange cab. I also want add another 2x12 cab to use the set up in stereo. So, with that in mind, I have been experimenting. The Orange cab with Vintage 30's...

    Which MFC?

    Hi, I have an Axe FX 2 and, until now, I have used it in my studio only. However I am about to try and start using it live with an SLA2 amp with an Orange 2x12 instead of my JVM410 rig with an FX8. So my question is does it matter which MFC I buy/ use? I would prefer to buy something pre used...

    Problem with pitch block...

    Hi all, I wonder is anyone can shed any light on this for me. I initially got my FX8 & set out to construct a preset for each and every song! I'm now trying to rationalise this & want to work with far fewer presets. To this end I am trying to utilise a particular preset for 3 songs. I have a...

    Midi offset

    As per the title. Is there a menu option to offset midi by 1? Some devices work with midi from 0-127 & some from 1-128. Normally there is an option to choose either to allow matching up with other devices. Yes I realise that you can just choose the correct number to select what you want on...

    Hard case

    Has anyone found a suitable hard case for the FX8 and say 2 EV-1 pedals yet? I have looked at most manufacturers and, so far, I am struggling to find something with suitable inside dimensions for the above. I would prefer an aluminium type but could be convinced to go for a fabric covered...

    Scenes

    Hi All, I have become a lucky winner and received my FX8! I have to say that it is a stunning piece of kit. It looks good, it is solid and the design is well thought out. Very impressive. I have never used any Fractal gear before but it seems pretty intuitive to me. Anyway I have the first...
