    What to do with 4 Expression pedals and a midi foot controller?

    What would you do with 4 exp pedals (moog ep-3) and a midi foot controller (morning star MC6 mk II)? I had just two pedals and I just bought 2 more... Now I'm trying to decide what the best use case would be... (Yes these were an impulse buy). My MC6 is used to switch between scenes and presets...

    Analyze tone for Jakub Zytecki's song Lovetape

    I've been inspired by the tone/effects that Jakub Zytechi is using in one of his newer songs. As a newer axe fx III owner with more effects/amp combinations than I've ever had before, I'm wondering if anyone out there can dissect what is going on with his effects chain. It is a pretty unique...

    How long should I leave my Axe-Fx III on without really using it?

    Despite the fact that many people don’t turn off their computers, you should turn off all electronics not in use. All components have a operating lifespan that is exponentially shorter than the virtually infinite shelf life when it is off. Capacitors particularly degrade with time even if they...

    FC Dimensions

    Am I blind or is that drawing missing a height dimension? I’m trying to see if the FC6 will fit in my guitar case but I need an overall thickness dimension... much appreciated if anyone saw one posted or has one.

    Moderate level guitarist review

    Yeah it is really interesting how satisfying electric guitar playing is with the proper equipment. Had I known this 10 years ago, I would have made the amp more of a priority than the guitars and I would have ended up practicing a lot more. Unfortunately I had a tight budget. Weirdly enough...

    Axe-Fx III: Carry Case / Gig Bag Options and Ideas

    I got the on stage rs7000 as I saw previously on the forum and it works perfectly with the shallow skb 4u case tilted up. The only issue is I have to use output 2 instead of output 1 to have it centered. Or I have to plug my guitar in the front instead of back. With output 2 used, it can be...

    AFIII Axe-Fx 3: Ambience & Special FX

    The ambient preset was excellent. I modified it just slightly and am playing with it live tomorrow for some swells. Sounds unreal. Thanks a bunch for the starting point. The processing power of the Axe FX III is just perfect for thick ambient tones. May I ask what the point of the two...

    Cool Time With Plini, David Maxim Micic, and Nick Johnston

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm pretty new with my axe fx III and I'm trying to get a plini tone and a david maxim micic tone dialed in but am struggling a bit with so many options. I know they supposedly keep things "simple" but I'm pretty sure simple doesn't mean just an amp and cab...

    AXE III BigSky Worship Preset (open for critique)

    I watched your whole video and I really like everything about your preset. Very good points on the reverb settings too. Very clean flow of the grid. Makes a lot of sense. I'm a bit conflicted on my preset... I turned up the reverb and re-recorded and it sounds pretty close to the david hislop...

    AXE III BigSky Worship Preset (open for critique)

    Listening again, honestly I agree with you. I dialed the effect way down for that recording I did by lowering the level on the last reverb to -10 ish. I think I did it too low. need to re-record the sound cloud clip with the effect higher. Maybe -5. Thanks for sharing your worship patch. I’ll...

    Full Range Planar Magnetic Monitors. Hifi Speakers vs FRFR?

    The “wall of sound coming at you” live feel you can get from these is really incredible. I bet yours are ever better due to the larger size. Maybe if you have a venue with good acoustics, you could even use them live? I can’t picture it getting better than this for home guitar playing. I...

    Axe-Edit III Public Beta

    I'm working on a preset (preset #504) however it somehow shows that it is preset #503 on axe edit III. How is this possible and how do I fix it? Even when I type in 001 in axe edit III for bassguy, I end up with it saying 002 on my axe fx III.

    AXE III BigSky Worship Preset (open for critique)

    Thanks! I'm still planning on dialing it in more but I think the case in point is that the axe fx III is incredibly powerful to be able to rough in sounds like this in an hour on a saturday night. If you end up making your own version feel free to share as well. I have a lot to learn! I haven't...

    AXE III BigSky Worship Preset (open for critique)

    So here is my first preset ever on a fractal piece of hardware... The axe fx III is simply remarkable. Tonight is literally my second night with my axe fx III and I was able to dial in my tone incredibly close to a tone I was aiming for with literally zero prior experience with fractal...

    Quantum -> Ares changelog?

    So I apologize if this was noted somewhere, but do we know which amps on the axe fx III are actually freshly modeled with the “ares” software vs the older quantum? I was under the assumption that most of the models on the III are identical to the II until later when they get remodeled with ares...

    Full Range Planar Magnetic Monitors. Hifi Speakers vs FRFR?

    I wanted to post my unconventional setup to see if anyone else has done anything similar and if their results were like mine. I have a pair of Magnepan MMG hifi planar magnetic speakers with a 1000watt class AB amp that drives them. These are what I listen to music with so I figured they might...

    For all 3 of the systems mentioned, I have been monitoring through the same set if in ear monitors SE846 as well as out to a pair of hifi "audiophile" full range speakers. google "magnepan mmg". They basically throw a wall of sound at you making it sound like you are at a concert. I'm actually...

    Received my Axe FXIII today and I just want to say that this thing is everything that I wanted it to be. I’ve owned some quality guitars but never really any quality amps or effects before. Using modelers like the pod hd500x, peavey revalver, and briefly the helix native plugin was the only...

    Axe-Fx III: Carry Case / Gig Bag Options and Ideas

    Just got the 1SKB-R4S based on the recommendations here. If anyone is interested in the 1SKB-R4S, you can get them for $159.00 together at ProAudioStar (so the furman effectively costs $5). I've never used that site before so I was skeptical, but I received my case today and have the tracking...

    If the III was 2U (or 1U!!!) I would have ordered one by now

    I think they chose 3U so they could have more inputs and outputs. The AX3 can process 2 guitars and a bass simultaneously. I think an ax3 crammed into a floorboard with a single guitar in would make sense in the future and is likely possible within a few years. 2U with all those ports would be...

    Switching between IEM's, FRFR, PA, Studio Monitors but getting the same sound.

    Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful points. It sounds like I need to dial in a few times at full gig volume at church and I can just use my IEMs mainly for volume balancing with the tone pretty similar. To save time for dialing in lots of different patches though: In theory I could dial in a...

    So when we receive our invite, how many days do we have to make the purchase before we lose our invite spot? Logistically this must be tricky as not everyone has actually committed to buy a unit and you don't know how quickly they will respond to an invite. Email spam filters etc could also...

    Axe FX III for modern church music without strymon pedals?

    Question for the longtime axe fx users out there. I'm buying all new gear after spending some time away and I need some advice. I kept my guitars but need a new modeler and effects system. I don't want to have to buy any pedals though... I understand the axe fx III's amp sims are the best out...
