    MFC-101 Footcontroller Frozen no Display with all switch lights displaying Red?

    Hi, we always recommend to use the latest firmware, no matter if it's for the Axe or the MFC and to use also the latest version of Fractal Bot, Axe-Edit, Cab-Lab and the driver. Perhaps this was taken out of context, say if a user asks if he has to update now but has an upcoming gig and...

    My AXE-FX MK2 froze up :(

    Hi, and they told you to quit Axe-Edit before you connect or disconnect any USB cables. ;) Best, Jochen

    Hi, you might have heared that Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice, right? Well, Cliff has actually done it infinite times! Backwards too! Best, Jochen

    Axe-Fx II clip with acoustic guitar

    Hi, while I believe that these presets do not work for others very well, you could try it of course. To me there are too many variables: your guitar and especially it's pickup system, amplification, your band, your playing style (I'm even using a pick with that nylon stringed guitar)...

    Axe-Fx II clip with acoustic guitar

    Hi Alexander, thanks a lot. But yes, you're absolutely right, it needs MORE COWBELL!! I should have done it more like this: Margot B. and more cowbell :lol Best, Jochen

    Axe-Fx II clip with acoustic guitar

    Axe-Fx II clip with acoustic guitar - patch added Hi, with one of my bands we're playing "unplugged" gigs and on stage I'm using two acoustic guitars with B-Band UST pickups. My main guitar with this band is a steelstring, the other one (which I only use for a few songs to give them a...

    Hi Ketil, that was amazing again. Love it - especially your version of Metheny's James. Best, Jochen

    Had so much fun with my rig last saturday

    Hi, I was also concerned about this and would not do this on a wooden stage, mobile stages or such, but here we had a solid floor with tiles made of stone and while a cable between my guitar and the Axe would have been enough I used my wireless just to be sure that even if a drunk air...

    Hi Alexander, this is so true. ;) Our drummer bought a new set on monday and said to me when he had his first round with it "Now I only need a cowbell!" Perfect! Best, Jochen

    Had so much fun with my rig last saturday

    Hi, yes, I really played through those 4 Reactors. Two of them are active ones and the other two are passives, so we're talking about 2x50 Watts tube power that's not too much, or? The benefit of stacking them is to me that it looks just cool (perhaps taller than it actually is because they are...

    Had so much fun with my rig last saturday

    Hi, thanks a lot. Maurice, yes, these are the remains when we play White Room. ;-) We never try to play a song exactly how it was done instead we always say to each other that the original versions are only rough material. But they are still cover songs and I have to be careful...

    Hi Alexander, yes, a tad above 1,90. Honestly, this was the perfect height. Best, Jochen

    Had so much fun with my rig last saturday

    Hi, we played at a party last saturday and somehow I remembered the old days with my stack, so I stacked my Reactors and put the Axe II on top of it. I thought it looked so cool: I loved my tone and got everything I wanted from the Axe II. We played rock and blues (such as early ZZ...

    Post Your Rig!

    Hi, still the same rig, but last weekend I set it up differently. In the past when I used two of the Reactors I stacked them and when I used all four I used two little stacks of two of them. On saturday when we played at a party I thought "bigger is better" ;-)) and stacked all four...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware Version 2.00 Up

    Hi, were you using your Axe II as an interface to update the MFC? Have you checked if: I/O-menu -> MIDI -> USB_ADAPTER_MODE is set to "OFF" again? Best, Jochen

    Axe-Fx II Firmware Version 2.00 Up

    Hi, have you changed the port on the MFC to "EXPANSION"? I think with the restore (you did after the firmware update) it is set up for MIDI (factory default) Edit -> MIDI -> PORT -> select EXPANSION with up/down -> Edit (to save and exit) Best, Jochen

    Do you need both USB and MIDI with the AXE II?

    Hi, yesterday I tried it with this How-To from forum member hammeron56 (think it's in the Wiki now): and it worked. I also tried to get a midi dump from the MFC but could not get this to work. Before someone asks, yes, for the dump I used the midi cable from the MFCs Midi Out to the...

    Brief gig experience, mini review

    Hi Peter, o.k. understood. I like my tone with the II's Wreck-model better than with the Ultra and you want to get exactly the same tone as you had it with your Ultra. I can't say if this could be achieved because I never looked back, I only found out at my first contact with the II that the...

    Brief gig experience, mini review

    Hi Peter, the Trainwreck model has always been one of my favorites, I also used it intensively for years and tuned it to what I wanted to get from it and I really liked it on my Ultra and used it for my "main sound". When I got my Axe II I started with this model because this tone is...

    Axe II soundfile, small semi acoustic with an almost clean Vibrato Verb

    Hi Daniel, thanks, yes, that's it. I do like the version with vocals more (less clams ;-)). That was one of my first recordings with the Axe. More than 4 years ago, Cliff has done so much to enhance the Axe, that's jsut fantastic, thanks Cliff. Steve, thanks a lot for the listen and your...

    Axe II soundfile, small semi acoustic with an almost clean Vibrato Verb

    Alexander and Daniel, thanks a lot for your kind words. Daniel, I remember an early recording I did with the Axe with "ricochet" in it's name and wanted to listen to it again, but I can't find it. I think I used a track that I recorded with a friend who is a singer, perhaps it was the one we...

    Axe II soundfile, small semi acoustic with an almost clean Vibrato Verb

    Hi, we are doing online jams at aussensaiter.de and we had a new backing and today I had my Axe II on the desk, so I thought why not throw notes over it to see how my latest addition sounds with the II. It's an '85 Ibanez AM66 (smaller than an ES, bigger than a Paul, wrap around tp) and this...

    Axe-Fx II soundfile, almost clean with the JTM45 and a Lester

    Hi, please excluse the delay. Sorry, I had the driver already installed before I even thought about recording. And I did this on two iMacs and with both it went flawlessly. First I wanted to answer that I never had problems with my Ultra to get the dynamics I want and I have to say that I...

    Axe-Fx II soundfile, almost clean with the JTM45 and a Lester

    Hi, thanks again for listening and all your kind comments. Yeah, that kick is just awesome. The backing comes from a friend who is a producer and I really like what he does. The pickups are out of phase (Peter Green mod, on one of the pickups the magnet is flipped) otherwise there are no...

    Axe-Fx II soundfile, almost clean with the JTM45 and a Lester

    Hi all, wow! Thanks a lot for all your nice words. (Where's the blushing smiley when you need it?) I'm the supporter for the european distributor (G66), so I had a chance to try it a bit earlier. Thanks to you all, best, Jochen

    Axe-Fx II soundfile, almost clean with the JTM45 and a Lester

    Hi, not sure if I should post this here or in the recording subforum, please feel free to move it. Today I stumbled upon a nice backing track and thought it could be fun to add a few notes with the JTM45 model from the Axe-Fx II and a Les Paul, so I dialed in a mostly clean tone with a...

    Show us your MFC setups! (post your pics)

    Hi John, I'm the support guy for G66 and I'm colorblind for red and green. I do not have problems with traffic lights, but the LEDs on the MFC were almost indistinguishable for me, so I asked if our technician could swap all the LEDs for red/blue ones and now it's fantastic for me. We have done...

    Changing banks without a program change

    Hi, please do a search on the manual for "12.5.7 Bank Style" (manual version Doc v1.0.3). "Bank Style, a global setting, determines whether or not a preset is automatically loaded when a new bank or song is selected, and if so, which one. Use the INCR or DECR footswitches to set the desired...

    Which Mission Engineering Pedal for MFC-101

    Hi, I read this but do not understand why they are using a TRS for the switch output. I have an old Wah which has been converted to an expression pedal with a switch and it uses TRS for the expression output and TS for the switch output and it worked perfect connected directly to the Axe. I...

    Global EQ

    Moin, die EQs im globalen Menü sind nicht nach Seiten (links/rechts) aufgeteilt, sondern für die verschiedenen Ausgänge der Axe. Es gibt also jeweils einen globalen EQ für Output 1 und einen für Output 2 und jeder wirkt sich auf das komplette Ausgangssignal am jeweiligen Output aus. Viele...

    My Turn......... ITS AWESOME!

    Hi Dutch, I'm wearing size 13, used the MFC only for two rehearsals until now but I had no problems to hit the switches I wanted to hit. On the other hand I had no problems with the FCB1010 either - other than I thought that it might break under my feet if I hit it too hard. ;) The MFC...

    Which Mission Engineering Pedal for MFC-101

    Hi, if I'm not wrong you would only need 1 TRS and 1 TS cable to achieve this. The TRS cable is used to connect the expression pedal out to the Expression Pedal Input on the MFC and the TS cable is used to connect the switch on the pedal to the Switches Input on the MFC. Best, Jochen
