    4CM high squeal

    I have a PS and had the same issue. It has to do with using the fx loop on the PS and creates an audio ground loop. The ground lift button on the PS sometimes corrects or mitigates it somewhat, but the only true solution was to isolate the audio going to the PS loop. I used a Radial Stage Bug...

    4cm, tube amp, load box and cab block?

    Ok, so here’s what I’d like to do: I’d like to use my FM3 in 4cm, but send one signal to my tube amp and another signal to a direct console input somehow, using a cab block inside the FM3. I would like to get the full amp signal including the power amp in both places. So I think I will need a...

    Question for FM9 users that know the FX8

    I actually never bothered with EQ on the FX8. Everything sounded great. I just EQ’ed my amp and rolled with it.

    FM9 "platform"?

    A pedalboard?

    No, there is no difference in tone if you run the same preset with the same settings on both.

    Question for FM9 users that know the FX8

    For your purposes, the answer is yes. I was a long time FX8 user and until recently I had an FM9. Everything the FX8 did I could do with the FM9, and then some (I also used Midi switching, not relays).

    The pace will quicken soon. It’s been expressed that the waitlist per day decreases somewhat exponentially, so I’m thinking in the very near future we will likely see it move multiple days at a time. Incidentally I’m one day before you - October 14th.

    Axe fx3 into front of tube amp causing squealing at high volumes on gain channel

    That is almost certainly a ground loop. The best remedy for that is something like a Hum Eliminator or a similar iso device.

    This is what it looks like at the moment. The Axe3 is of course the center of the universe.

    Wish More Control Switches and exclusive groups?

    OK, so I use my AxeFX3 in my home studio. I have 8 amps and 4 cabs connected to a MIDI controllable KHE amp switcher. The way I have it set up I can either play into a cab in the room, out of the 4cm outputs through a cab block directly to my console, or I could do both. I am picturing a...

    Caught up entirely? That’s unlikely I think but I expect the wait time will get exponentially shorter. I think in the next few weeks we may see the list moving through multiple days in a single day. Who knows, maybe even a week at a time…

    Software FracPad III - iOS/Android/Mac/Win Editor for the Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, AX8/FX8, Axe-Fx III and FM3/FM9

    FM3 as AXE 3 controller?

    Thanks! Yes I created a “control” preset on the FM3 with a MIDI block that gives me scene control and tuner access on the Axe. I guess I assumed the was a way to tie a CC message to the X pedal somehow but I guess not. Mainly trying to avoid having to plug and unplug a bunch of stuff between...

    FM3 as AXE 3 controller?

    Anyone here ever try using an FM3 as a foot controller for the Axe FX 3? I don’t need much at my feet, just scene switching, expression pedal, tuner and (maybe) present inc/dec. Wondering if anyone here has been able to get all that going?

    4CM: Ins/Outs menu

    The video above is the way it’s described in the manual, but it requires a special cable (XLR to TS) and you lose a lot of flexibility if you go that route. I like being able to switch from going into my amp to going full modeling just by enabling my amp and cab blocks. Both ways will work...

    FX8 4CM issues with Mesa Lonestar Special

    If the delay is at the front you would need to change things on the config page to have 0 pre and 8 post FX if you want it to sound good. Why would you put the delay at the beginning of the chain though? Delay and reverb should be in slots 7-8 for maximum flexibility I think.

    FX8 and MIDI CC channel switching

    OK, so I'm inching closer to getting this set up the way I want. I can do what I need in a somewhat complicated sort of way by using the two MIDI blocks and X/Y, but I can't explain why it works because it appears to be using program changes, which do NOT work in the config tab for scenes...

    Yes. Using the MIDI CC section. I want to switch channels per scene but I must not have something right.

    FX8 4CM issues with Mesa Lonestar Special

    You can use fractool to import the blocks themselves, from what I understand. My problem is I only have my full presets saved and not those individual blocks.

    Channel switching on a Bogner Shiva

    Wow, glad I'm not going crazy! I will do a little more messing around but it seems at this point that the relay may have gone bad. It still works fine for a typical 2 channel amp but I did buy this new direct so it will probably go back for a checkup and repair shortly. Thanks!

    Best way to control "2 amps" ?
