    Wish Latency / Time Alignment block

    having the micro delay on just the input & output blocks should satisfy most scenarios.

    Wish Latency / Time Alignment block

    I'm building a preset with a dry bass running through a PEQ that is mixed with a bass signal running through an amp and cab block. I'd love to be able to add a micro delay to the dry/PEQ signal so that it aligns with the AMP-CAB so there is no comb filtering introduced. Maybe a micro delay added...

    Wish MIDI Note messages

    I would love to be able to send MIDI note on (and off) messages via a FC6 / FC12. Momentary & toggle functionality (with the release / toggle of the switch sending an "off" message) would be best so that we trigger samples and notes from an external synth / sampler. Copied from the FM3 Wish...

    Wish Utilities>Send MIDI

    I second this. Being able to send midi notes would be a huge win for using my fc12 as a single controller to trigger midi notes from an external synth / sampler.

    Virtual Rehearsal Software

    This isn’t actually true. It takes time for signals to propagate. The greater the distance, the longer it takes. The absolute fastest a signal can travel to the other side of the planet is about 80ms. This assumes no switching, packet retransmissions, or any other intermediate factors that are...

    Virtual Rehearsal Software

    My band (6 people) started using JamKazam last week for our rehearsals. the software is quirky and has some bugs, but generally works once you have it setup (which can be a bit difficult due to the confusing ui and bugs). Our latency ranges from 30-70ms between each other which is manageable...

    Strandberg guitar bought - tested - and sent back

    I bought it new for about $3,500 back in 2013. It’s the best playing and sounding 7 string I’ve played. I currently have an Ibanez Universe 7 string and a few 8 string (Strandberg, Skervesen and Ibanez). It’s one of my go-to guitars.

    Fractal-Bot & PC Sleep

    Quite a few times while updating the firmware using Fractal-Bot, I have had my laptop go to sleep, which causes the firmware update (and connection) to fail. Though I can work around this on my end with a few different approaches, I inevitably forget and have to restart transfers (usually...

    A couple of Rush songs performed live by my band Phantom Fears

    Thanks. We cover about two hours of material from the Rush to Signals albums, including Bastille Day and A Passage to Bangkok. I was using FW 19 for that gig, but just upgraded to Quantum. Once I re-tweak my patches I'll be happy to post some. I use 2-3 patches per song that are all linked to...

    Ignore redundant PC and PC changing scene to scene 1

    I agree that the scene should not change when "ignore redundant PC" is on. The expectation being that when a new PC request comes it, it is simply ignored (and does not change any state). This is causing me some grief as I use PC messages when selecting presets across multiple devices on a...

    Cool suggestion. I'll have to look into this.

    Running Two Axe-FX II's in parallel

    I use scenes for enabling / disabling individual effect blocks, but not for amp switching (X/Y). Though I haven't tried it for swapping amps, I would be surprised if there wasn't a dropout. Plus, you don't get effect spillover, or smooth fades between the changes which are both things that I...

    Running Two Axe-FX II's in parallel

    As the lone guitar player in my band, I run two different (but similar) amps/cabs panned hard left & right. This gives a great double-tracked / dual guitar sound that really fills out the sound field. I also have a fair number of patches that fade between clean and dirty amp settings. When using...

    Running Two Axe-FX II's in parallel

    With my recent acquisition of an Axe-Fx II XL, I'm now running two units in parallel (the new XL, and an existing II). My original routing plan that I tested looked like the following: Guitar ---> AFX2XL (input 1) AFX2XL (AES echo input 1) ---> AFX2 AFX2XL (output 2 echo input 1) --->...

    Firmware Version 10.06 Now Available

    There seems to be something wrong with the panning in the stereo cab block. Everything is coming out mono, and when I dial the panning hard right, it's silent. I created a new patch from scratch to test this. Edit:It turned out to be pilot error. I had somehow managed to unplug the right...

    Noise in output when using MIDI expression medal

    I have been noticing a ticking noise in the output of my Ax-Fx II when using an expression pedal to control the volume via MIDI through my LF+12+ foot controller. I was wondering if this is common, limited to my particular foot controller, could indicate a problem with my Ax-Fx II, or (even...

    10.05 Bug or known behavior (i.e. deal with it) with high-cpu patches?

    I have a quite a few patches that are running right around 90% CPU utilization, some running slightly higher (92-93%). These patches are very unresponsive to my expression pedals (connected via MIDI, not the pedal input). My volume and wah modules are only changing in large steps (definitely...

    Which product for storing and triggering samples live?

    I have a Roland PK5 that I used for triggering the samples, but switched to using my Liquid Foot LF+ 12+ as it was one less thing to carry.

    Which product for storing and triggering samples live?

    I use an iPad with BeatMaker 2. It works better than any of the HW samplers I looked into, has more features, and cost about the same (and in the longer run gives you more options). I run the output of the iPad (docked in an Alesis iODock) into input 2 on my Axe-Fx II.

    Looking for home + rehearsal + live monitor advise

    At home, I've been playing my Axe-Fx II through a pair of QSC HPR122i's as wedges. I've been playing through these speakers for several years now (using a Ultra before the II). When I rehearse with my band, I run direct into our PA, which consists of a pair of QSC HPR 153i's and two JBL subs...

    FX Loop Woes (possible bug) FW 9.02

    If this is the expected behavior, I have to say the docs are misleading. I would expect the docs to say "This switch causes OUT 2 to be fed by a copy of OUT 1, if the FX LOOP block is not present in the preset", rather than "... instead of the signal from the FX LOOP block." (which indicates...

    8.01 Amp edit bug

    I just updated to 8.01, pulled up one of my patches, selected the amp block and hit edit. (This is all being done via the front panel, not Axe-Edit.) Once I hit edit, the amp model changed to Deluxe Tweed and my volume dropped significantly. I've attached the preset in question. I...

    Axe Fx and Sonar X1

    If you're running into any audio issues on a PC, I recommend that you run dpclat.exe (DPC Latency Checker). This will let you know if your system is configured properly for a DAW (or related application). Unless you see all green (low dpc latency), you'll need to tweak your systems drivers /...

    Power Conditioner

    The Axe-Fx is effectively a computer. I understand being concerned about using a UPS with an amp (or any device with a high current draw), but the Axe-Fx should work perfectly with it.

    There's Only One Way To Rock

    Thanks for the feedback (both positive and critical). I updated the mix with some of the suggestions here, and elsewhere. To answer one question: no, it's not me singing. That's our new vocalist. We're in the process of recording (now mixing) a new demo with him and I figured I share some of...

    There's Only One Way To Rock

    I agree about the hi-hat. Once I listened to it with headphones on, I realized it was pretty annoying and have since backed it off. The bass is a Ken Smith (though I don't know the model) running through an Ampeg SVP-PRO and Bass POD Xt Pro. I recorded it direct and had mics on a 2x10 cab and a...

    Info on removed IRs in v7.05

    Is there any chance Cliff can post the original V30? That was the primary cab I used for my patches. I'm holding off upgrading until I can get that cab back. The newly converted (on axechange) V30 just doesn't sound as good.

    Frequent Recalibration of Expression Pedal

    I've had a similar problem (with the same pedal), but it was due to the string slipping on the pedal, not the Axe-Fx. I have to check and reset the string on the pedal every week or so.
