RAC12 - New 1U rack controller for Axe-Fx II / XL

I want to give the creators of the RAC12 some serious props. I ordered last week and it arrived today (two days ahead of schedule....awesome!). Within five minutes of plugging it in I was easily navigating through the AxeFx parameters 10 times faster than using the front panel. It's intuitive...

Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.01 Released

Fw18.01 sounds and plays awesome! Thanks for the update, Cliff! Question: Ever since 18beta the rotary block is active for pretty much every preset when it loads, regardless if it is meant to be. This did not happen before fw18, but I figured it was a beta bug and something that would get fixed...

I'm Just Going to Leave This Here

I like the looks of this. Simple layout w/ FX send. Easily portable. Makes a lot of sense for most of the shows I play. Would easily interface with my other pedals too in this format. Looking forward to watching the product develop!

Matrix NL212 tweaks

Matrix NL212 EQ? I'm a new Matrix GT1000FX/NL212 owner. Although I've only put an hour of playing time on the new cab, I notice a high frequency fizz when I use a high gain amp or a drive pedal with gain. Low gain amps and clean patches sound great. Global cab sims are off, gain staging isn't...

Connecting Timeline and MFC/AxeFx

I want to use my Strymon Timeline with my Axe-FxII and MFC101 rig. I've done searches on the forum and seen a few people who are interested in doing the same thing, but not a clear consensus about the best way to do it. If you are running this rig (or something similar), can you share how you...

Atomic CLR - input 2

Does the active CLR wedge allow you to run Axe-fx into input 1 and feed it to the FOH as well as run an acoustic guitar into input 2, while NOT sending input 2 to FOH? I'd like to be able to monitor both my axe fx and acoustic, but send my acoustic on a separate channel from my electric so the...

How are you securing your guitar cable?

Just wondering if anyone else out there has figured out a technique for keeping their instrument cable securely fastened to the front instrument input in live shows? I know the input jack looseness has been discussed on the forum in the past. The AxeII seems to be more secure than my Ultra...

Buzzing in PA system, ground lift doesn't help

I've been having buzzing issues with my AxeFxII when I plug directly into sound systems. My AxeFx is plugged into a Furman power conditioner (and is the only thing in it). The ground lift switch on the back of the Axe doesn't affect the buzz. Lately, I've been forced use the 1/4" outputs into...

Pre-amp vs power amp distortion in AxeFxII

I've been diving into learning about tone and came across an interesting passage in "Creative Guitar 1: Cutting Edge Techniques" by Guthrie Govan: "It's worth bearing in mind that there are two distinct kinds of overdrive. The first is generated by the pre-amp (the tone shaping part of the...

High end fizz...is this normal?

I agree with that it would be great to be able to roll back the cathode follower sound (if that is indeed the cause of the high end "fizz" in my Axefx II). I noticed the fizzy sound immediately when I first played high gain patches on my AxeII (fizz which wasn't present in my Ultra) and tried in...

master volume spillover

I'm playing through an AxeII and MFC (in Axefx mode) with a Mission expression pedal. I've searched the manual and forum and somehow seem to be missing the boat. I want my delays and reverb to continue on after I've turned down my volume pedal, but haven't figured out the setting to make it...

3.00 Amp voicings: What is it?

LOVE the amp voicings:) Thanks, Cliff! It gives me a quick way to toggle through preset options on a specific patch when my tone is on the verge of fitting (especially while recording), but needs a fresh tweak. Each voicing has subtle shifts that matter for me.

Any way to make "Organic" patch instantaneous?

Not sure if the "Organic" preset is limited to the Ultra, but if it is.... Is there any way of tweaking this patch so it sounds instantly when you strike the strings instead of swelling?
