Scene Controller Presence

Hey guys! Long term Fractal user, just upgraded to the FM9 - loving it! I'm wanting to use scene controllers so I have a more tailored crunch sound within my scenes that also allows for gapless switching (I'm using Amp 1 for clean, Amp 2 for distortion so scene controller is the obvious choice...

AX8 Reverting back to factory settings on it's own...

Well....sort of... So today my AX8 started doing a weird thing. I have it set up so footswitches 1-4 are scenes 1-4 and 5-8 are drive, delay, chorus and filter. F3 is scroll down presets, F2 scroll up and F1 is the tuner and tap tempo. Everything working fine and then I turned it off. When I...

Matrix Amplification FR10

Hi guys! I received my FR10 from Matrix last week - been playing around with it and thought I'd make a little 'demo' video (the first of its kind for me, so apologies for the awkwardness!) Anyways, in short, this thing was worth the wait big time IMO - crystal clear sound at all volumes, huge...

Connecting Line 6 G55 Wireless to Power Conditioner...

Hello! So, this isn't strictly about the Axe Fx 2, but it is to do with my setup so I thought I could put it here? If not, I apologise profusely! So, I have a Line 6 G55 wireless which has DC power. So far, the only way I can think to connect it to my power conditioner is to have an extension...

Queensrÿche: Operation Mindcrime in FULL

Hi all! I recently completed a series of videos covering Operation Mindcrime by Queensrÿche in full. I used my Axe Fx 2 to record all the guitar parts over the top of the original tracks in logic pro x (for this reason, I think the videos won't play on some mobile devices - so if they're not...

ML Sound Lab Cab Pack 20 - Brit PR75 - Queensrÿche: Empire

Been playing around with the amazing Cab Pack 20 from Mikko - AMAZING. My current favourite cab is the Brit PR75 with the SM57 and E906 combo, so i thought I'd track a quick snippet of one of my fave riffs for the hell of it. Double tracked both parts, but I've added no post EQ to this at all...
