    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    My bad. I meant Balanced cables can't be used with Fishman. Not sure. It's there without the delay too. It's like a high pitched static screech. I always found regular feedback to still be like a high pitched screech or ring, but that static part is what's throwing me off.

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Ha, I don't totally know. Me and Strandberg Support team both thought there was a problem and I sent it back. It got there and their tech told me that you can't use balanced cables with Fishman, guess the second ring touches something and the phase cancels out the signal. I'm sure someone here...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Whew, okay this is a lot. Let me start off by saying I really appreciate you putting so much time into a post. I'm gonna try to address as much as I can now and probably come back with another post later. Firstly, I did not get to try it with literally everything off. I have roommates so I can...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already done this twice at 3 different locations. Not just my apartment, but also my previous apartment, and my family's house. I got the noise everywhere. I might end up sending it back to them again, which might cost a lot.

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Thanks for the clarification. I did mean when my guitar is unplugged. Just weird because I don't remember almost any noise on other setups I had. I used to have a BOSS GT-10 and even with insane gain that cable was almost totally silent. On the Axe Fx even with little gain there's a lot there...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    The guys at Fractal Support are very confident that they tested my unit extensively and found nothing wrong with the unit itself. It is possible that it somehow got worse since then, but unlikely. Looks like the search continues. I still want to know why some things are happening, like noise...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Thank you Hullboy. That clearly demonstrates just how much worse mine is compared to yours. I think I might have to contact support and see what they're willing to do. I think with all the evidence present that something is wrong with the unit itself. Thanks again for all your help.

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    I understand, I'm still trying to go about learning to create good tones myself, but I was tinkering with all sorts of things to try to get some responsive sound with no gain, since with my current predicament... you get the idea. Thanks a lot for your sample. The only thing I could request is...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Sorry, had to edit this. It's not completely the same as the preset, no. I'll send it again here to show you what it is. However, I did have noise even with just the preset. I actually turned this one down and tweaked a bit, so I'll attach mine specifically so you can get a good idea. Can you...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did notice with some testing that placing them pretty close does increase the noise, however I had that noise even with my monitors and computer OFF. I get the noise even with the axe FX by itself. Also, some bad news. I took my Axe FX over to a family's place, and...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    Wow, thanks for all the info. I'll definitely take into consideration your first pieces of advice. Unfortunately for me it doesn't really matter now as even with/without all those mistakes, the noise is still there. When I changed the input to the rear input, I still have the noise. When I...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    I appreciate your input. Like I said above, in point 2, I played my axe fx with nothing else, just listening through headphones, so no interface, no nothing. Just me, guitar, axe fx. Still have the noise. I just tried to test and put as much info as possible so that we can help narrow down the...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ Noise Problems

    So I’ve posted here before and elsewhere about noise from my Axe Fx II XL+. Unfortunately my problem is still not solved, and i’m gonna list off all the stuff I have ruled out or attempted and put them here, and see if anybody else has any idea, because I’m about to lose my mind. I have two...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Thanks, the video is actually pretty helpful. However my tone doesn't seem to sound very "full" without a lot of that gain. But I'll try my best to produce a new recording. I switched to the input on the back of my axe-fx and it seems I have a little less noise. No outright screech, but still...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Thanks a lot for your input. If it's not too much to ask, can you do me a favor and actually record yourself playing it, with the noise gate on and off? For me, the presets are loud enough for sure it seems, but the big thing is that without the noise gate it just goes absolutely crazy. I had it...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    That's okay, I'll put what I use again. I'll even include some others. Hayden Lead 2 actually has noise when my guitar isn't even plugged in. The other 2 don't, though.

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Even doing this there's a little bit of noise all the time. The gate will get it but when I actually play it kind of hisses through all the time. I still can't add Wah to it. If it's not the unit and it's not my guitars... well, I'm running out of ideas.

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Sorry to bump an old friend, but I did finally end up moving. My roommate has 2 guitars that he let me try. Still noise. The biggest problem here is that things like a wah are completely off the table. It seems with any semblence of gain it just starts to screech, and i have to put so much gate...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Sorry it takes me so long to get back. Busy busy. Still committed to getting this problem solved though. I don't really know if it was after the latest firmware, but it does seem worse now than ever. My pickups are pretty hot so I thought I might just not have noticed. After these other guys...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    I've tried this before with no results really. It plays about the same. This isn't something I considered, so maybe this could be it. I am actually moving within a couple weeks and will have a nice, better space to organize all my equipment. Currently I have a lot of things stacked together...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    So I actually sent the AXE FX II XL + back already because I thought there was a problem with it. They reset it and informed me the unit itself is fine. I also got a setup on my guitar and paid to have them check the electronics and my pickups and such. Also fine. I have not tried to direct USB...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    I originally played on 2 different things. I had Guitar Pro, which I used as a VST in FL studio, and I also had a BOSS GT-10. There a tiny bit of noise in the BOSS, but very little in the Guitar Rig tones, and those also sound pretty powerful and full. The first actual song on my soundcloud is a...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Sorry it took me so long to reply. I work and go to school full time to figuring this out is kind of hard to do. The problem isn't really that I can't match his tone, the problem is I can't match or play anything, because everything is so noisy and doing anything makes a ring. I am now playing...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Whether it is or not it still does it. I usually play facing a speaker but I usually record just using mixing headphones. I tried playing away across the room and the noise is still there for the most part. I also tried to follow this guy's djent tone tutorial: (Sorry I can't post links yet)...

    Screeching noise even with gates?

    Hope this is the right place to post this. I'm gonna give as much info as I can. Ibanez Universe with Evolution 7 pickups direct into focusrite scarlett 2i2, USB to computer Any kind of tone with gain at all, if I go past about 5 on the input drive, I just get a horrible, awful screeching ring...

    Ringing with even slight gain?

    Sorry guys, busy life, which makes it that much more frustrating that I can't seem to get a single decent thing out of any preset or tone I try to create. All the factory presets sound like almost nothing. They sound very low-power, have no sustain whatsoever, and most of them sound very much...

    Ringing with even slight gain?

    I obviously have a cab block and such on the tone. Amp and Cab are not bypassed. I have no other guitars or amps to try it on, but I've played my guitar at guitar center on random amps in the past and there was no crazy ringing. On the AXE FX it just seems like the tone is really weak all the...

    Ringing with even slight gain?

    I had this with unbalanced and balanced cables. Using Mogami Gold cables. I have an Ibanez Universe 7 string. I'm going into an audio interface and just playing it directly through my speakers. Anything I'm forgetting?

    Ringing with even slight gain?

    No matter what my preset is, just using an amp and a cab by itself, with only 5 on the gain, not only am i constantly getting that hiss all the time, but my tone has absolutely no power to it at all, it sounds very weak, like the notes are barely coming out. If I add anything more to it, it just...

    Not a Bug Expression Pedal only works about 10%?

    No. Huh, I'll have to buy another cable, but i'll see if that works.

    Not a Bug Expression Pedal only works about 10%?

    I bought the expression pedal to go with my AXE FX II XL+, and I assigned it to a wah setting. However, when I move the pedal, up to half way it only moves the wah about 5% up, and then going the other half just brings it back down to 0%. No matter how I adjust it it always does this same thing...
