    Axe-Fx II Firmware "Ares" 1.00 Public Beta

    Oh my GOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to get home and update. I read the release notes and it seems that the FAS team added quite a few things! Really awesome to see that they are somewhat breathing some life into the older systems. I guess they realize that not everyone can afford the Axe III...

    I personally use the power amp/cab setup but to get the most out of the unit, get FRFR monitors.

    What to look for when buying a used Axe-Fx II?

    The obvious signs of major damage, small scratches are ok. If you are able to plug it in somewhere before you buy it is best.

    Going from FRFR to poweramp/cab

    You may have already found your answer with these mentioned before, but when I switched to power amp/cab, I re did all my patches. I started with just an amp model in the chain and tweaked that til it sounded good to me. I use power amp sim on, sag is usually around 3.5 - 4 depending on my...

    What's your favorite amp model?

    Friedman hbe, evh 5150iii red. Cleans its one of the usa clean models. I always want to experiment more but come back to these. I also like the brit silver which sounds close to my jubilee 25watter that I have, however its collecting dust and may be sold soon. :D

    Batteries in the FXII MKII and MFC-101 MRK III?

    Could it be in the manual? Just a guess.

    What things can an AFX do that a real amp cant?

    So true, for me its the pedals as well. When I had my analog gear I steered away from pedals. Didnt want to be stomping on a whole bunch when switching from clean to distortion for example. Now with my axe and fcb1010 its so much easier.

    What things can an AFX do that a real amp cant?

    This is the trap I fall into quite often. It drives me crazy sometimes because an hour in of practising and all I have done is change settings in my presets. There is so much flexibility and tweakable things that it can be off putting for newbies, but once that sound is dialed in, it sounds...

    I say doesnt work because the suggestions you give me, well, dont work when I try it. What I believe the problem is, is that the fcb1010 with uno chip needs a “stop box” button to be assigned to it in order for the expression pedal to work. The auto engage function will work but not without...

    Why does my Axe sounded better through headphones?

    Something else I have learned is to setup your presets loud (at gig level) then dial them back when playing at home. Also getting really good (pricey) monitors make a difference. I use crappy $20 Sony headphones and they sound great as well. Yet when I used frfr speakers they didnt sound...

    On Amazon.ca the 50's are $50 more. Im on a strict budget so I will take the 40's for $150. :) I also like the fact it has 2 sets of cords, I do plan to use this when travelling as well so the straight cable would be awesome.

    I looked them up and noticed on the box that the 32ohm is best suited for mp3 players and portable players. Probably because the smaller devices dont like the higher load on them. The 640ohm model says best suited for “higher end”systems. Looks like the 320ohm model best suits the axe fx...

    Picking between Axe-FX II XL+ or AX8

    Get the axe XL. If you are worried about those things, dont limit yourself. The ax8 is nice but its good for playing live and portability. If you are playing at home, a normal midi pedal should be all you need. Just my 0.02c. ;)
