Any Liquid Foot Pro/ Axe-Fx III users who can help me?

Tx for your quick response unix-guy. Yes, the LF Pro has an AxeFX2 mode but it doesn't recognise the AxeFx3 specifically and won't 'autoload' settings. Yes I DO have CC34 set for scene select in the AxeFx2 and AxeFx3. All the settings are identical pertaining to Scene control.

Any Liquid Foot Pro/ Axe-Fx III users who can help me?

I've just received my AxeFXIII and I'm setting up the Liquid Foot Pro (the original series not the + series) to connect. I copied all my midi settings from my AxeFxII across into the AxeFxIII. The Fractal settings mostly ported straight across but there are a couple of variations. I haven't been...

This thing sounds freakin' great. I thought I might be slightly underwhelmed but it was worth the wait. Makes up for the disappointment of the World Cup.

[Solved] Just got Axe-FXIII today...but [bad headphone adaptor]

I just received my new AxeFXIII last night and had exactly the same problem. Through headphones the reverb mix was 100% wet but FRFR Output1 was perfect. I was FREAKIN' OUT. Thank goodness I found this thread. It was the headphone adapter. It worked perfectly for years with my AxeFXII but needed...

I doubt you'll regret your decision. The AxeFXII is still such a powerful tool that I considered not upgrading to an AxeFXIII at all. In the end I pulled the trigger but if I wasn't currently 'flush' then I would've been just as happy opting out. The AxeFXII now represents even greater 'bang for...

That's Brett Kingman - the King of Demos and a damn fine player but the there's only about 10 seconds of actual 'naked' AxeFXIII from the 3:00m mark. I'd imagine that Andrew Farnham had a unit brought out here (Australia) for such demo purposes.

Nothing was mentioned regarding the number of units. I would imagine that I must be fairly close to the top of the OZ queue because I contacted IMA within a couple of hours of the US announcement. I got the first message Friday 1st of June and the second message yesterday. First message...

Paid for mine today. I've been thinking hard about whether to bother upgrading because my AxeFXII is still so damn good but Andrew's 'last chance' message pushed me over the line. Now the waiting really begins!

Any FC release time info ?

I was on that MFC list for many months before I gave up and bought a Liquid Foot Pro. I still use it at every gig and will probably still use it after my AFXIII arrives....... whenever that is. (Australia)
