    Question about using outboard stereo effects with AX3

    Wanting to use a Eventide h90 with my Axe FXIII. Mostly because I'm way to lazy to try to recreate all these algos inside the box. I would like to use the H90 via something akin to 4CM so I can have effects pre and post amp. Question - when sending a signal from the H90 to the AXE do I need to...

    I admit I jumped the gun on selling my FM3 after getting on the waitlist within a hour and a half. I do feel a bit dumb, but it will give me the chance to just play with some analog pedals and my JJ Jr. while I wait. Definitely going to be a lot more of a pain the arse hauling all that around...

    I think so. Anyone know what time it was announced? The Fractal post on these forums was yesterday at 10:37 AM. Though I'm not sure what time zone that is or if it was announced somewhere else first. I didn't hear about it until around 1:30 EST so not sure how far down the list that puts me.

    FM3 power cord

    Hello all Is the power cord for the FM3 just a standard cable? My unit just arrived but no cord in the box. Wondering if I can safely steal the cable from my Friedman JJ Jr or one of my studio monitors. And yes, I see someone else posted something similar a few days ago....just double...

    Looking to recreate guitar sound from intro to "Take what you want"

    Not sure how to describe this effect (I'm sure its something obvious). To me it sounds like the warble on a tape delay's repeats but on the main signal instead of the repeat. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on how to recreate this in the Axe FX iii. Again, I'm sure its stupid simple and I'm...

    Safe to use small Bass Head (class D) as SS amp for Axe + Guitar cab?

    Sorry had a typo in the original post. Its 120W @ 8 ohms. It actually has 2 inputs so the cab can run in stereo at 16 ohms. Not sure if I could put it in 16ohm mode and then just use one input This is a pic of the back of the cab

    Safe to use small Bass Head (class D) as SS amp for Axe + Guitar cab?

    Would it be safe (or even optimal) to use the effects loop of one of the small, D class bass heads (Little Mark III, Tone hammer 500 etc) as the SS power amp to drive the Axe III and a 2x12 guitar cab? Today I'm using a SD PowerStage 170 to do this. I figured they are both D class amps so might...

    Question on tweaking a preset for different guitar types

    I know the correct, long answer is - use your ears (I do and I will :) ) That said, what amp characteristic blocks do you guys go to when converting a HB voiced preset to single coils? Is it just as simple as tweaking the input trim/input and maybe a touch of the eq (and maybe the input gate to...

    I'm very happy with the over drive pedals and amps in the Axe FX. So much so that I sold all my analog pedals (except an EP booster). BUT I've been wanting to get a Germanium fuzz to use with my Strat (as well as dying to try out some of the Bee Electronics fuzz boxes). Will these pedals...

    Any benefit/need for a DI box/preamp with the AX FX III?

    But if one didn't own any of these DI boxes then purchasing one would be a bit of a waste? Sorry for the ignorance - I primarily use the AxeFX for guitar but am doing some fill in bass duty. My bass rig consists of a couple bass guitars and the Axe FX.

    Any benefit/need for a DI box/preamp with the AX FX III?

    Probably a dumb question. I'm guessing the answer is no. BUT I'll ask anyways - is there any benefit to having a external preamp/di (sansamp, tonehammer etc) in front of the Axe FX III (passive bass). Or can the unit pretty much do anything they would do (except provide box specific color etc)...

    Recommendation for playing Bass

    Howdy. Been playing my AX3 for primarily guitar for the last 6 months and my setup works fairly well for me. I have two options 1. KRK 5 studio monitors. I know they kinda suck but they do OK for what they are with guitar IMHO. 2. SD Powerstage 170 into a 2x12 cab w/ V30s. Sounds great for...

    Axe-Fx III + Apollo Twin + Logic routing question

    I discovered that recently - had bad allergies and HATED any sound through my studio monitors. The only thing that sounded OK to me was a super loud guitar cab.

    Is there any info for getting started on blending IRs in the cab block?

    Trying to make sense of the massive amount of Cabs in the Axe III (and packs I had purchased back for the AX8). Is there any type of primer on what the qualities of different mics or cabs are? What typically blend well together or what to generally stay away from?

    An update from a newb

    This is why I set up my presets to be used two ways. Output 1 goes to my (crappy and soon to be replaced) studio monitors. Output 3 goes to my solid state power amp and then into a 2x12 cab. Into a real cab it really does feel like I have a ton of awesome heads that I can use (some I like...
