    Acoustic Guitar through the Axe FX III?

    Wow - quite the opposite of my initial experience. I'm intrigued. I'd love to hear more.

    Acoustic Guitar through the Axe FX III?

    Travis, First, see my comment at the bottom regarding why I haven't responded. Next, I'd be interested in anything you can share to point me towards learning to Tone Match. I love how my Taylor sounds mic'ed, and other than that, the LR Baggs Anthem has been the next best option I've found...

    Acoustic Guitar through the Axe FX III?

    Sorry, everyone! After I posted the original, I never got any notification that anyone had commented, so I never came back to check on the thread. Suddenly today (for the first time in 3 months), I get a notification that there was a comment on the thread, and suddenly I see there were LOTS of...

    Acoustic Guitar through the Axe FX III?

    In my gigs, I switch back & forth a lot between a couple electrics and an acoustic (and occasionally, a bass). I wanted to have the master volume control work for all the instruments (since I will obviously only be playing one at a time). I've tried it, inserting as few blocks as possible in...

    Anybody know of a good Axe-Fx III SITAR patch I could grab?

    I've seen a few posts about sitar presets, but they all seem to be either 1. Very old, 2. For the AX8, or 3. For the Axe FX II. I need one for the Axe FX III. Any tips greatly appreciated. Thx

    Ian, thanks for the suggestion. I finally got back around to trying it, and it does sound a bit better.

    Bank Names showing name of 2nd preset in that bank on FC display?

    Thank you. Yes, I do have my Offset at 1. Nice to know I'm not crazy (and there's actually an explanation).

    Bank Names showing name of 2nd preset in that bank on FC display?

    I'm just learning to customize up my "Performance" Layouts (7&8), and, as part of that, changed my bank size to 4 (as instructed). Today, while working on the layouts, I noticed there was an update available (1.10) for the FC12, so I installed it. Right after that, I noticed something pretty...

    Maybe I've somehow screwed up my Preset Banks on my FC12??

    You were spot on. As I mentioned, I had set my Presets Offset control from zero to 1. On the FC Bank +1 and Bank -1 controls had been set to a lower range with my MISunderstanding that those limits referred to PRESET locations. I had set a lower limit of 1. What I didn't realize at the time...

    Maybe I've somehow screwed up my Preset Banks on my FC12??

    I finally got all the factory presets cleaned up, & deleted all I had no interest in, and the rest moved up to the high end (kept about 70 of them) out of my way. I created my first preset (kind of a default "main board" that simulates a pedal board) in location 1 (changed my Global settings...

    Thanks, I'll check it out.

    What type of block do you recommend using as a "Clean Boost"?

    I'm thinking like maybe Volume/Pan block 4? Maybe a no-brainer, but just in case someone has a better idea?

    Adding an octave up - Like Micro POG pedal

    I got it to work a bit better using a "Shift" block rather than a "Harmony" block. Not perfect, but a lot better.

    Adding an octave up - Like Micro POG pedal

    Yeah, I did that, but the one remaining still sounds like crap. It's hard to believe with such a simple effect, FAS doesn't have a better one than I'm hearing. I'd ask why the heck they took away the simple harmony type, but it probably doesn't even matter at this point. I'm sure the thinking...

    Adding an octave up - Like Micro POG pedal

    On my old Axe-FX II, I was able to add an octave up using the Pitch block, like from my old pedal board's Micro POG pedal (although it was not nearly as nice a sound as the POG), and it was not great, but it was OK. I'm trying to do the same on my new Axe-FX III. I'm using the Pitch block, and...

    Wah Pedal control - Difference between Axe II and Axe III

    Chris, I didn't quite understand your comment at first. Still not quite sure about your reference to the Setup>Midi menu. But I did find the Wah Bypass parameter, and set it as you suggested. Works perfectly now. Thanks!

    Wah Pedal control - Difference between Axe II and Axe III

    I'm moving my control pedals over from my Axe II to my Axe III. Ran into a couple differences that I'm trying to figure out. The main one is my Wah pedal. On the Axe II (MFC101), the control was merely set to "External 3", which seemed to make the Control pedal AND the switch work (using a...

    DougB415 and chris - So basically, no real change from the Axe-FX II. I just had to ask, since so much else was "enhanced". And 384 Factory presets is so many to audition before I start moving stuff around and/or deleting. Is there any slicker way to move big blocks of presets around? Or...

    Newb question - Best practice - Storing User Presets on Axe-FX III

    I JUST set up my new Axe FX III (moved up from Axe-FX II). I haven't seen any reference to User Preset Banks, so I'm assuming at this point the "user presets" would just go in the "Blank" spaces after the 384 Factory preset slots (Dang, that's a lot!). I'm using the FC12 and trying to...

    I got a response from Mark at Fractal Support this morning. Everything's fine now. I feel so dumb because I had tried just about everything like what he suggested, but not in exactly that order. He suggested: "Shut down both the computer and AxeFx, disconnect the cable. Restart both and wait...

    Just trying to set up my brand new Axe FX III, FC12, and Axe Edit III. Noticed two things: Fractal Bot didn't seem to be talking to it, and neither is Axe Edit III. I would guess it's the missing Driver (Windows). But I did download and install the driver (at least I thought I did). But how...

    Quark, Sounds doable (if I'm understanding you correctly). Sounds like there's only one mapping table, and you would have to set this table up per gig, and then turn off PC Mapping if/when you don't want to use it. Does that mean that in your actual Presets table, those presets that you want...

    Sounds complicated. Does that assume you're using a DAW with the Axe? If not, I'd like to hear more about how to set that up (or a link to a tutorial or resource for more info). I was looking forward to NOT having to always have a laptop with me at every gig.

    So, bradlake (and Stratman68), you're saying the FAS Reverb, even though it is a Fractal product, and "Based on the highly-acclaimed Reverb algorithms from the legendary Axe-Fx II guitar processor", it cannot be directly utilized by the Axe FX II XL in a live performance environment - i.e., it...

    Can the MFC do this?

    I'm using Bank Size=1 , and I think Bank Style=FIRST. That means the UP/DOWN buttons scroll through my Presets one at a time (in Performance Mode =PRESET), and once I press REVEAL, it stays on from Preset to Preset. BUT - Presets one at a time may not be practical for users with a lot of...

Without mounting those all to a...

    Axe FX II XL+ Tuner only works on Left Channel?

    Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks. But I currently only use the stereo input or one song/preset. I tried what you suggested, and I can do it from the front panel in just a few seconds (and then again after that song). So that will work! Thanks again!
  47. Dave McDowell

    Axe FX II XL+ Tuner only works on Left Channel?

    Very interesting. I'll have to experiment with that. Could that be tied to an IA Switch on the MFC? Also, I assume that's a global setting, and not available per preset.

    Rookie X/Y Switching question

    OK, what's an IA switch? (Not familiar with the terminology) I'm assuming (hoping) I can toggle an X/Y states of a particular block within a scene while I'm playing (using the MFC). Is that correct? Or do I have to change scenes do accomplish that?
  76. Dave McDowell

    Rookie X/Y Switching question

    Chris, Makes sense, I guess. So the front panel X/Y buttons are only actually X/Y switching controls when you're in Edit Mode for a particular block? And does that mean the only way to operate the individual block X/Y switching when playing is via some external midi instruction (like the MFC)?

    I am SO relieved to hear several of you say that. Obviously this is all a major investment (money and time), and a major departure from the "old way" of doing things.

  89. Dave McDowell

    Fractal Newbie learning to use the Axe FX II needs some direction

    I obviously haven't gotten deep enough to even know this, but is duplicating the first 384 presets to the next 384 slots a simple process that allows you to "duplicate" an entire range?
  90. Dave McDowell

    Fractal Newbie learning to use the Axe FX II needs some direction

    I realize there are more than 384 "slots", but I will obviously want to access my custom patches with my MFC, which I understand can only access slots 1-384 (or 0-383). So do people usually move a block of presets out of the way (above 384), to make room for their own custom patches?
  91. Dave McDowell

    Fractal Newbie learning to use the Axe FX II needs some direction

    Another quick question: I have like 384 preset locations already with the unit. Where do you typically store your own custom presets?
