    Anyone using String Joy Strings?

    Yes indeed! I have played many different brands over the years. IMHO Thomastik-Infeld makes the best strings - but at a premium price point. I would say that String Joy is closing in on them for quality and durability for electric guitar. (not including T-I's fantastic flat wounds - no...

    Wish Allow selecting Drive position in delay block (in-feedback loop, out-of-feedback loop)

    I have been working to replicate a EchoRec plugin using the Tape Delay module. Clearly the drive block in the Mono Tape delay is not in currently in the feedback loop. I would suggest having a dedicated drive control for the feedback loop in addition to the already existing input drive block...

    Anyone use Input Dynamics?

    I do use this parameter in a couple of presets. However, if it is easily replaced with the Dynamics comp type - I would not miss it.

    Axe-Fx Firmware Release Version 18.02

    Clock rate was my 1st check in advance of posting. To clarify; I used the Virtual Capo as a 12 string sim with the mix set around 50%. I expect that a clock rate issue would effect both the dry and wet simultaneously. Just to be sure I am not having a Homer moment, I used the headphones out -...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Release Version 18.02

    I believe there is an issue with the virtual capo effect. To obtain an octave up shift requires setting the shift to +14 and +50 cents.

    Holdsworth Multitaps

    Sweet preset Simeon! I have spent some time on Holdsworth sounding presets before and yours is really great! I did not have an 8 tap in mine and that seems to be the ticket for delay flavors. Bravo!

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.00 "Cygnus"

    Fantastic FW! The Amp block sound is stunning! However I think I have discovered an issue with the amp Vibrator depth. It seems that on non-vibrato Fender style amps that turning the Power Amp Vibrato depth to 100% yields a depth of about 50% instead. I can clearly hear a non-vibrato component...

    Anyone use Input Dynamics?

    I make much use of this parameter! It is very useful indeed. I use it in many of my patches.

    Thank you Yek. I will have to rethink what I am trying to do and how to do it.

    PC Reset value... can it be set via Axe-Edit?

    I just started to work with the modifier PC Reset functions. I cannot get them to work as expected either. I have the PC Reset function enabled on the modifier screen and also have "Scene Revert" enabled in the General Setup. No luck. The values always reflect the position of my expression pedal...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08 Public Beta 4

    In regards to the whammy pitch shifter - I notice that when playing a high note - say g on the 15th fret - and applying some subtle vibrato, as the note decays the shifted note wobbles around a bit. I double checked my guitar tuning and my strings are in good condition so those are not...

    Wish Synth block Pitch Portamento

    I do like the synth block even with its simplicity. However I had an idea for a patch and wanted to add portamento to the pitch tracking. Since that parameter is missing I did a couple of workarounds that almost worked perfectly. But in the end I cannot get the pitch of each 12 notes in equal...

    Announcing FAS-FX REVERB!

    I am a big Fractal fan and promoter having used Fractal products since the early days (Standard firmware 1.24). I am certain that this reverb is a great product. But using iLok is a deal breaker for me. I am determined to move away from that cursed dongle and will not buy plugs that use this...

    Do You Hear a Difference

    Listened very carefully to clip #1 on Event Opal's in thru high end audio system. Listened again, again, again, again and once more just to be sure…..

    UltraRes vs NormalRes one last time!

    I just listened very carefully 3 times on high end studio monitors. I think that #1 sounds more realistic particularly in the richer, chewier low end and low mids. Clips #2 is certainly brighter sounding but this may be due to not only the masking effect. #2 sounds more harsh to me - not in any...

    Version 7.00 Preview Part Deux

    That clip sounds absolutely fantastic. I have had to work pretty hard to come close that that kind of performance in the past and this is certainly more natural then what I did get in terms of the edge of bread up sound. What a wonderful thing!! Looking forward to 7.0!

    AFX II Leslie simulation

    Axe II Leslie sound I have never played thru the real thing but the effect in the Axe II is by far the best attempt in a software emulation that I have every heard. I love it - and in stereo it sounds terrific to me. Clean or with overdrive - but ALWAYS post speaker. It must be said that I do...

    Saying good buy and good ridance

    I can hear a subtle difference. I have never owned a Marshall and have no idea which is which however I like #1 a little better - it sounds a bit fuller - thicker, while the second clip is maybe a touch brighter & thinner.

    FW5 and MFC101 MIDI THRU problem

    Just updated to 5.04b and everything runs great again. No more MIDI issue - it was due to MIDI Program Change Receive being "on". However for some reason my tuner display on the MFC is not engaging with the call for the tuner?? Whatever. I spent a couple hrs. tweaking my presets to incorporate...

    5.02 somewhere?

    Due to the midi thru problem so far with 5 I have not been able to leave it installed on my Axe so I'm missing out on the latest improvements in the power amp and speaker. :| Crossing my fingers that the midi-thru issue is solved with 5.02. Why? Because it hurts to play with crossed fingers...

    FW5 and MFC101 MIDI THRU problem

    I posted this problem in another thread but thought that it belongs here. There is a problem with the LED's on the MFC flashing in tempo to the midi clock sig and audio pulsating when MIDI thru is on. As I use MIDI thru all the time, I have reverted back to 4.01 until the problem is solved.

    FW5 not playing nice with my MFC101

    Hmmm.... In that case I will have to wait until the issue is fixed. I use the midi thru to send CC's from foot controllers to synths. I'm sure FW5 is great but I can't disable half my rig right now by turning off midi thru. Thanks for the amazingly quick response.

    FW5 not playing nice with my MFC101

    I updated to FW5. When I re-started the Axe the MFC101 was flashing all LED's at a moderate tempo and the audio output from the Axe II was pulsing in sync with the flashing of the MFC. Kinda like the color organ I built back in electronics class....just a little more expensive then that one...

    Sorry Cliff - I would like to help out, and no offense intended to you, but I do not own a Windoze machine at this point.

    Bug? Invalid Midi Messages to external MIDI destinations from MDC101 thru Axe II.

    I found a work around! I am using the MIDI out jack of the Axe II and running that into my MIDI interface and - now all the signals appear to be correct coming from the MFC and into that MIDI port of the interface. Just be sure that MIDI thru is set to "ON". :)

    For one thing I think it was an oversite not to include a few gigs of flash RAM for storing audio - like loops or even having a scratchpad for musical ideas that you could capture on the fly and then download to a computer or DAW later. But beyond that I agree that there is not much more one...

    I'm holding out as well. I've got a pair of Lexicon R1 controllers that work just fine and have been solid and reliable. The MFC will be a step up for sure, but I'd rather save $100.00 then make an unnecessary impulse purchase. ;)

    Improved Routing of Input 2

    1. I run a synth with my guitar signal. The synth has a digital out.

This feature is not currently implemented. 2...

    Copy Output 1 to Output 2 does not work

    Well - I take that back - there is not a work around... I can see why Cliff set it up this way -to prevent a feed back loop. However in a set up such as mine where input 2 is a source NOT being fed a signal from the Axe there is no possibility for a feedback loop. This does limit the...

    Copy Output 1 to Output 2 does not work

    Yeah - I did check the out 2 volume knob - that is an easy oversight to make I agree. I have been using the level meters on the I/O section to monitor the signal so I am certain that out 2 is not being fed any signal. I am using FXL returns to Input 2 on most of my patches since I run a GTR...

    Is there a general desire for a real Harmonic Exciter effect

    While trying to emulate some 80's clean guitar sounds I found the "Enhancer" effect not to my liking as it effects the tone of the signal in a phase domain way that works pretty well for stereo but not so well for mono. I have used the Aphex, BBE and the Exciter that was on the Rocktron XTC...

    Ultra noise at 3khz??

    I have been down this road with the Axe about 18 months ago - tracking down the source of the 3.3kHz noise. The noise was really only noticable at very high preamp gain settings and few of my tones live in that region of gain. I discovered that my guitar signal was picking up the noise from...

    Multiband comp needs a Q control

    After fiddling around with the multiband comp, I think that the multiband compressor would be more useful if there were a better way (using a filter Q) to isolate frequency bands. Or more selectivity [i]to each of the bands. Is this worth taking a poll on?

    Resource saving speaker block?

    After using the Axe for quite some time now, I find that there are many times that I really do not need a stereo speaker block.
