    Timing on availability of exact specs/photos of FC-6/12

    As far as I know, the FC-12/6 do not have touch capacitance switches. On the Helix you can use those to automatically go to effects and settings. Makes navigation on the unit a breeze. Don't know if they are needed with the Axe-fx III.

    FC ready to ship with Axe III?

    Who have some great guitar techs programming their midi switchers? Last time I looked I have no guitar tech, lol You missed a couple other alternatives. Line 6 Helix LT, Helix Floorboard, Helix Rack and Control, HX Effects all can be used to control and Axe Fx III.

    FC ready to ship with Axe III?

    To be fair the Axe Fx III has not snagged me with one bug. They even had the editor out in a very good amount of time with very few bugs. But man alive no Foot switch and the to have to pay $699 US MORE. Way Ouch Baby.

    Sadly yes. My Axe Fx III has been crying for about three months with no relief in sight.

    I agree that these should have been released together but then we would have been waiting at least this long to get our hands on the Axe Fx III.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.09

    Well, I am happy for once I use a Windows 10 PC. I have had no issues whatsoever with Axe Edit III. The only thing I would like to see is for the software to check for changes only when it boots instead of scanning everything. But even that doesn't take too long.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.09 Public Beta

    The on unit UI on the Helix is one of the best with its capacitance foot switches and ease of use and I STILL prefer to use the computer editor on that. With the Axe Fx III there are a ton of deep parameters. That just doesn't lend its self to ease of use no matter how improved the UI is. And...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.09 Public Beta

    My disconnect was because the switch is on one page and the parameters are on another in Axe Edit III. I never use the UI if I don't have to so I never even looked for it there (to be fair I don't use the on unit UI on any modeler if they have a computer editor). I bet they will fix this in a...

    Songs and Setlists

    On the Helix HX Edit allows you to grab a preset and move it anywhere. The way the patches are set up though are in 5 groups. So I use one group as a setlist. Makes it super easy to move presets around. I had thought Axe Edit III will be able to do this as I remember it from the old Axe Edit...

    That is the king of footswitches! Minus the swapping to other pages, which is brilliant as I would love a dedicated looper page for my Helix, this is like a Helix Control with a crapton more switches. One bonus I could see to this over the FC-12 is that since this uses midi I could use this...

    There is no reason you couldn't right? The FC12 uses the Fastlink cable but the MFC must use MIDI in. You could though get yourself into controller hell by assigning competing functions on one and not knowing why something wasn't working. In my case I would use either or.

    Fair enough. I’m just in shock is all. It will probably wear off. I will either have to pay this price or not gig with the Axe Fx III. Wish there was some kind of bundle discount if you decided to get a Axe and the FC12 but if that eats the profit then there really is nothing to be done.

    I don’t know man. In this case I could get a competing brand modeler, Footswitch and two really good speakers for the price of the Axe Fx III and the FC12. The Axe Fx III is great but I’d have a hard time saying it’s twice as good as any other modeler. I don’t want to rock the boat here but DAMN...

    I only have my FRFR speakers downstream of the Axe Fx III. And it was only clipping the patches where there was gain. Like amp gain or a overdrive pedal. I will try to raise it to 5%. I know 8% caused clipping. Is the rotary knob on input logarithmic?
