    Octavia effect

    Thanks for the support here guys, much appreciated. Forgive me if i am wrong but i think i can hear some sort of effect on the guitar circa 1:35 into the song if anyone knows what makes this kind of (to my ear Octaver effect)? Or how i can achieve a close approximation with my Axe 3

    Octavia effect

    Agreed, I would also like to see a standalone Octave-type effect in the effect block such as something from the Boss OC range. Yek, I have tried using the pitch block to create this effect without much success. Does it depend where the pitch block is placed as when i used it after the amp...

    Octavia effect

    Balanced Output 2 Left Issue?

    So, I have opened the case of my axe and cannot see anything loose? I have re-seated the printer cables as requested. There is definitely an issue with Output 2 Balanced Left as there is no sound coming from here whatsoever ever now. Although, If I try the Output 2 Right output it works...

    Balanced Output 2 Left Issue?

    Thanks for your replies and support. I would post a preset however, I don’t think it can be a preset issue as all presets are affected if I use Left Output 2. None of the same presets are affected and sound perfect when using Left Output 1. It will take a look inside and see if anything has...

    Balanced Output 2 Left Issue?

    Hi Guys, So I recently upgraded to the latest firmware and then took my AXE3 to my rehearsal. How I run my Axe fx 3 is thus: Axe 3 > Fryette LXII (two input power amp) > 2 x 12 cabinet. The cabling: I take a signal from the Left balanced Output 1 of the Axe and send it to the right...

    Whats Causing the Jump in delay volume when changing scenes?
