    A Stylish Rack Case.

    I'm looking to downsize from my gator 6u rack to a 3u. I'd like to get a nicer rack case this time, preferably one that looks rather aesthetically pleasing while still being safe for my hardware. All suggestions welcome! The only qualification is that it must fit the Axe and a Matrix Gt1000fx...

    FX-Loop Question (help)

    What would need to be done to the the FX-Loop to make it emulate an instrument level signal? For instance, if I wanted to have the guitar routed to the front 1/4" input how would I want to set the FX-Loop to try and match the level at that input? Is there a way to measure that and compensate for...

    Damn you Fractal...

    My wife thinks that "They just released the new firmware", is just an excuse for me to go play guitar for hours. She doesn't believe it could possibly happen every week much less every month. Cliff you need to slow down, for the sake of my marriage! In all seriousness, thanks to everyone at...

    This might be a stupid question...

    Is there any way to swap between the inputs on the Axe-Fx, namely USB to Input Front without scrolling through SPDIF? I use the Axe as an interface currently so when I'm mixing I obviously want to swap the input (that is sound coming in to the Axe) away from USB, but whenever I do this I get a...

    FX-Loop Issue; Re-Amp

    I posted a bit earlier about some issues I was having with the Fx-Loop in the Axe not playing well with my OD pedal. Well, I've alleviated that issue (Just applied a gate after the FXL) and now another has taken it's place. I don't know what setting might have been touched during the process of...

    FX Loop Help

    So, I have a particular OD pedal that I'd like to use to re-amp with, but since I'm using the Axe as my interface, I'll need to have the pedal in the FX loop to do that. As I'm sure most of you know, OD pedals don't do so well in the FX loop without some major adjustment, so I'm looking for tips...

    Are presets an exercise in futility?

    <Rant> Since I'm relatively new to the Fractal-verse, my experience with previous firmware has been limited to fw-18 and beyond. In this time, I've observed amazing changes in the various aspects of the way my black box functions but it has me wondering if I've been approaching it's...

    Bass tone for modern aggressive music

    So, as the primary songwriter for my band, I've realized lately that my lack of appreciation for a good bass tone has left our music lacking in the low frequency department. We've never had a bass player, so in the studio I always end up recording the bass parts. As a band, we're trying to...

    Quantum Clipping Problem.

    Not sure if this has been covered in the Quantum beta sticky but all my user presets are showing "Clipping on output x" lights even when the input meters aren't tickling red at all. I keep lowering the preset output block and nothing is helping. Also, all sounds seem to have some added...

    Power Amp Problems!

    All right so lets get down to another edition of possibly stupid questions by Crapshoes. My Axe / Matrix combo sat happily atop a recently purchased Mesa OS 4x12 last night at band practice, and I began the tedious live mixing process. I have read heavily on the topic of an ideal live mix...

    Stereo Cabinet Setup Help

    So, I am currently running an Axe Fx-II XL+ ----> Matrix GT1000FX ----> Mono Vox Cabinet. But, my Mesa 4x12 comes in today and it has stereo 1/4" capability... I was wondering if it's beneficial at all to even run a single cabinet in stereo, given that I'm just using the 1/4" instrument input...
