    Control DAW automation of track with FM3?

    I know you can send CC instructions to your DAW of choice to make it change parameters to your sound without touching your pedal (via click track etc.), but is there a way to START and/or STOP the track with the FM3? How does one do such a thing, if possible? :s

    Bug? Footswitch #3 no longer activating anything properly, but only sometimes.

    The third footswitch on the FM3 has suddenly decided to no longer activate within the depth of a coin thickness and instead sometimes activates when pushed all the way down. It also sometimes makes a click sound when depressed all the way down, but not every time. Has anyone else had this issue...

    Footswitch #3 no longer works as it should

    Footswitch #3 suddenly doesn't activate every time and now clicks (it's meant to be silent)

    Metal footswitch caps fell off. Where to find replacements?

    Basically, you know how a standard metal footswitch you find on almost every stomp box that isn't Boss or Ibanez etc. looks like a tiny metal 'mushroom'? Well, I was looking closely at my FM3 earlier and realised that the tops of the footswitches were missing - I assume I kicked them off...

    Do I detect improvement with amp-switching latency?! :D

    Correct me if I'm wrong (it might just be me, hence this post), but it feels like there's been a HUGE improvement in diminishing the amount of silence you hear when switching amps between two scenes! Is anyone else getting that or am I just imagining that it's always been small enough to not...

    Control switch state change automatically between presets?

    Hi! Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere but sometimes it's the phrasing of the question that I can never find. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Basically, I have two presets (songs) where CS1 is controlling the change from rhythm to lead, and if the first song ends with lead and I go to switch to the...

    Which type of external switch would allow me to tap for next preset and hold for previous?

    If this has already been answered in detail then please direct me to the correct thread. Otherwise, I'm just looking for a quick answer to which type of external footswitch I'd need to tap for the next preset and hold it down for the previous one? Because all of this 'momentary/latching/TS/TRS'...

    Suggestions for additions to my pedal board?

    So I've ordered for a custom hard case (you know what they say; measure twice, order once!) and have some space left over for maybe another toy or two... Now we all know that I can ultimately decide on whatever and that's fine, but I thought I'd throw it to the floor and see what suggestions...

    ATTENTION UK FM3 OWNERS! In need of assistance with a hard case solution for FM3 + ME Exp. Pedal

    Any UK (sorry, rest of world, but can't afford international shipping right now) FM3 owners have a solution for fitting an FM3 and exp. pedal mounted PedalTrain board into bany hard cases that are deep and secure enough?

    FM3 on a PedalTrain Classic 1 able to fit inside of a PT Classic 1 Hard Case?

    Just checking before my FM3 arrives whether I'll need to upgrade my hard case from a "PedalTrain Tour Case Classic 1" to something that's 'deeper', since the FM3 is apparently 4" in height, the current pedal board is 3.5" high and the hard case's interior (whether or not it includes the soft...

    Plugging my Axe-Fx II XL+ Into a Smart Plug: Safe or Not?

    Basically what the title says. Will it do any damage at all if it's left "switched on" while essentially powered on and off via the smart plug in the wall outlet?

    Moving from FCB1010 to MFC-101 Mk. III. Totally confused.

    Before you ask: yes, I've watched at least 5 videos on this matter. ^_^ I'm trying to calibrate my SP-1 and EP-1 pedals with the MFC-101 Mk. III. So I hook them up as demonstrated by the G66 video and various other ones, I go into EDIT > SETUP > XP1 MIN > ENTER but the values don't change when...

    Help with creating a sine wave preset (Brimful of Asha intro)

    Hey all! I'm looking for assistance on how to create a preset that has clean guitar on one channel and a sine wave oscillating on another channel. Basically I'd like to be able to replicate the first 20 seconds of the song 'Brimful of Asha' (the "ev'rybody needs a bosom for a pillow" one...

    Addressing Power Amp OR Cabinet Issues...

    Okay, before I start: my Axe-Fx II XL+ works perfectly fine on its own through PA equipment and it doesn't look like there's anything I changed at all in the menus regarding power amp settings before things went awry. So I think either my guitar cabinet or my power amp is busted, but I have no...

    Does it matter what type of cable is used to connect Axe-Fx to power amp of choice?

    Okay, I hope this isn't a stupid question (I wonder how many of these threads start out with something along those lines), but at the moment it pretty much goes: Guitar to Axe-Fx II XL+ via Line6 G30 system > Axe-Fx II XL+ to power amp via instrument cable > power amp to Blackstar Artisan 2x12...

    How do you sort/arrange your amp presets on your computer?

    By that, I mean: say you're one of (presumably) many Fractal users who make presets/global blocks of each amp (and their most suited factory/user IR) so that they can be easily called up, ready to be smothered with effects (or not!) for recording/jamming at a moment's notice. Would you arrange...

    Audio Gap when Using Boss FS-5U as EXT CTRL for Press-and-Hold-type Actions

    Hey all. There's a noticeable audio gap when using my FS-5U switch for the drive block (assigned to its mix knob as EXP CTRL 3). I intend to use it for quick 'in-out' lead bits as I hold the pedal down to engage the effect. The gap (which is about 50ms or so) is still audible when not connected...

    Volume pedal causing non-auto engaged effects to become engaged

    I've come across what I believe to be a bug: I have assigned an envelope controller to the 'control' knob of the 'Pitch' block (Ad. Whammy), so that when the string is struck at a certain velocity, it 'whammys' the pitch up an octave and back down (like Morello). The pitch block is active only...

    Re-amping! Grr...

    Hey guys, I'm pretty new to re-amping and since hardware setup varies from guitarist to guitarist, I was wondering if you could help... Basically, is anyone here using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 along with their Axe-Fx in order to LIVE re-amp (recording both wet and dry signals simultaneously)...

    Am I right in assuming that...

    ... if there's an amp model already on the Axe-Fx II that can sound close enough to a desired amp that hasn't been modelled, then that amp won't be added to the roster in the future? Or is that just crazy talk? Thorts? :)

    Transforming the Fender Super Reverb's 40w into the Silverface 70w version?

    Hi guys! I'm playing around with the Super Reverb with a 4x10 Superverb Mix (one of the latest stock cabs to be added), and I'm trying to keep the controls as true to the original amp as possible without too much deviation. But my question is that if I wanted the Super Reverb's 40w output to...

    Wish - More Colours to Choose From for Filtering Different Cab Types

    Just wondering if there's enough memory to elicit the use of more colours to choose between when organising cabs in Axe-Edit into groups. This is by no means due to greed or anything; I'm quite happy with the number of colours it has now, I just thought that if there were more cabs on the way...

    Class-A 30W Brt/Vox AC30 Brt Model Behaviour...

    Is it normal for the bright switch to be disengaged by default on the Class-A 30W Brt model? This isn't really a problem, just figured that it probably isn't supposed to default like that and thought it was worth pointing out if it wasn't, is all. For the curious: I'm using the latest firmware...

    Confused about certain uses of prefixes...

    This is regarding areas like the 'Wish List' section: why do many of the wishes submitted not have the yellow 'Wish' prefix while many others do? What does it mean? Hope I'm not sounding stupid or that I've missed something I should've picked up on.

    Wish Axe-Edit Toggle for Authentic 'Front/Back Panel' Controls

    This will probably have been mentioned several times before in many iterations, but even if there is, I'm offering my support for such an idea, as I'd love it if there was a toggle that displayed, say, JUST the 'Input Drive' control on the 5F1 preamp tab or JUST the 'Pres., Bass, Mid, Treble...

    USA Pre Overdrive Useless after 12 o'clock Point? :s

    Hey all! Don't get me wrong with the title; I'm thoroughly enjoying the USA Pre (LD2 Yellow and Red, naturally ;D) but I've found - with both settings - that (unless I'm not listening closely enough) the Overdrive knob (second from the left in the Preamp sec.) doesn't do anything past noon. Am I...

    Dispelling a FIABD Joe Satriani myth...

    While Satch did indeed use a respectable bunch of amplifiers during his 'Flying...' album - including the Mesa/Boogie Mk IIC+, it was NOT used during the recording of the title track. Used instead was a silverface Fender Pro Reverb as stated by the man himself on his Tumblr account whilst...

    Separate switch from Pedal 1/2 for tap tempo?

    Okay, so, as far as I can see, I couldn't find any other thread with this issue: I own a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI board switchboard and I'm after a separate footswitch that I could plug into either of Pedal 1 or 2 of the Axe-Fx and can use as a tap-tempo for my presets so that I don't have to...

    Joe Perry's lead tone (pref. late '80s)

    Anyone have any advice on how to get a really good 'Joe Perry' lead tone from his late '80s days? Particularly reminiscent to songs like 'Love in an Elevator', 'Dude Looks Like a Lady' - you get the idea.
