    Tuner "noise" from FC-12

    I love the tuner on heel down feature available with newer firmware versions, the problem I have is that I get a lot of cross talk between my cables when the tuner is active. I can clean up the problem by carefully separating the cables, but it can be tedious and awkward to do so based on where...

    Just got my new FC-12

    All I can say is... wow. I have everything I want on there and still have a button left unused. So powerful, and built like a tank. Thank you, as always, Fractal Audio, for making a superlative piece of equipment.

    So much love for G3

    I hadn't had a lot of chance to play with G3 yet, but after a lot of suggestions to just treat it like a brand new box and try stuff I hadn't previously, I did just that. I had never spent too much time with the Matchless Chieftain (Boutique 1 and 2) previously, but oh man there is some serious...

    Ethercon vs FASLink

    Is there any advantage (beside cable availability) to using Ethercon vs FASLink for a new Axe-Fx II XL / MFC-101 Mark III combo?

    Nuforce Icon HDP

    All: I was in the market for a high-end DAC/preamp/headphone amp, and ended up buying the Nuforce Icon HDP based on price/features/performance. It's not cheap ($449), but OMG this thing is awesome. It's the Axe-Fx of DAC/preamp/headphone amps, unbelievable build quality and sound at a...

    (Wish) Send multiple CC #'s and state per IA

    This is a piggyback off another thread, but I'll put in a separate formal "wish" request for it. I know that when using non-Axe-Fx mode (or setting an IA to "NONE") that you can map 2 CC's to a single IA. I would like to do more, for example engage three effects (Drive 1, Amp 1 X/Y and Delay 1)...

    (Wish) IA state would update even when using external controllers

    When using Axe-Fx mode, it would be awesome if the IA LED's would change to reflect the current state when an external controller changes the bypass state of an effect. For example, if Extern 2 switches on Drive 1 and Delay 1 and turns off Chorus 1, it would be really helpful to be able to see...

    Looper does not work in Axe-Fx mode (Axe-Fx II)

    Just got my MFC set up last night. I am using Axe-Fx Mode (Axe-Fx II), and when I set an IA to "Looper", nothing happens. The patch I'm using does have a looper block, and the LED doesn't light up at all, and when I click the button it neither enables nor disables it. Also, I am using a bank...

    Love for the Cameron Medium

    Oh man, I am so loving the Cameron Medium--thanks for modelling this, Cliff! This thing is a cranked Plexi on 'roids... sooo tight and articulate. It's just about impossible to make it muddy; you can put both drive and master in the middle for some classic rock, crank the gain and drop the...

    Questions for a soon-to-be newbie MFC owner

    Now that I've sold the Ultra, it's time for an MFC-101 to go with my Axe-Fx II (well, at least when Summer Shutdown ends!). Here's my questions: 1. Everybody seems to agree that Mission Engineering pedals are great -- is the standard EP-1 the correct one for the MFC-101? 2. I would LOVE to...

    Is it possible to use Axe-Fx II as MIDI interface for programming FCB1010?

    Hi, I currently use an FCB1010 with UNO until I can afford an MFC-101. I currently use Ripwerx over my E-MU PCI-1212 to do the MIDI programming of the footswitches, which works perfectly. However, now that I have the Axe-Fx II, I would like to ditch the E-MU PCI card completely if possible...

    Anybody else with DiMarzio Q/C issues?

    I recently built a new Warmoth parts Strat using Area 58/Area 58/Area 61 pickups. Unfortunately, I bought the parts last year and am finally getting around to finishing it. Straight out of the little acrylic box the Area 61 was bad--registered 1.65 KOhms resistance and made no sound. Since it's...

    Lincoln Brewster's "Love the Lord" basic intro

    Here's a sample clip of my intro to Lincoln Brewster's "Love the Lord". No, I can't play like him, but I'm happy with the *tone* I'm getting. No need to point out the clams, poor intonation, etc... I'm quite aware of my shortcomings. :) Recorded using my Warmoth parts Strat, using Area 58...

    Quick AC-30 Top Boost sample

    Here's my first recording using the Axe-Fx II. It's basically the guitar intro to Paul Baloche's version of "Today is the Day". My skill (or evident lack thereof) is not what's on display here, it's just a sample of the Top Boost tone I'm enjoying from the Axe-Fx II. I'm sure many of you can get...

    My initial impressions with the Axe-Fx II

    Well, I've had a couple of days (very late nights, to be more accurate) to play with the Axe-Fx II, and it's definitely a keeper. I always loved my Ultra and it has been far and away the best piece of gear I've ever owned, but Cliff just raised the bar that he himself set previously. No fancy...

    A couple of X/Y usability desires

    Are either of the following possible: 1. Copy X settings for a block to Y to provide a quick starting point. For example, if you're just wanting to increase the delay mix and volume, but leave the rest the same, it would be nice to be able to take your X setting once it's dialed in and then...

    X/Y Cab switching not saving cabinet selection for "Y"

    I've been trying to use the X/Y feature to do channel switching, but one of the problems I'm running into is if I want to switch both an amp and cab as a pair. I have AMP1 X/Y and CAB1 X/Y mapped to the same midi CC, so they will always be in sync. However, every time I recall a patch, the "Y"...

    Digging the new MIN/MAX modifier range limits!

    The new MIN/MAX range limits for modifiers is SWEEEET! I love this--no more dorking around with percentages for a simple boost/cut range.

    X/Y AMP 1 clicks/pops when switching

    I just got my Axe-Fx II this afternoon and one of the first things I couldn't wait to try out the new X/Y feature, so I created a patch and used it to switch my sound from rhythm to lead. One thing I notice after assigning it to a CC# on my foot controller is that it makes a click/pop when...

    Go (Hillsong United)

    Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the tone for "Go" by Hillsong United? A fuzz face in front of an X99 lead with the gain at 0 gets me in the ballpark, but any tips to get closer to home plate would be greatly appreciated. I am using a Parker Fly in the bridge position. Thanks in...

    Love the new BB PRE drive model

    I'm loving the sound of the new BB PRE in front of a lightly overdriven amp. For example, if I set the BB PRE Drive at 0 and throw it in front of a Blackface (pardon me, Double Verb) with Drive ~4.5/Master 9.29, it just dirties it up that extra little bit for switching between sparkle and a...

    Question about tempo averaging

    All: It seems from using the Tempo feature that it always takes the difference between the last two taps as the new value for the tempo. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly this precise in my time keeping. For example, we're playing a song that's 132bpm, and I start tapping the tempo CC. I notice on...

    Need help with delay for bridge of Everyone (Praises)

    Can anybody help with getting the right delay settings for the bridge in "Everyone (Praises)" by New Live Worship? I have made a clip of the part I'm interested in: http://home.comcast.net/~srosburg/Everyone%20(Praises).mp3. This is probably a no-brainer for some of you (javajunkie and matman...

    Will M-Audio Black Box Pedal Board work with Axe-Fx?

    All: I see that the M-Audio Black Box Pedal Board, while not highly rated, is discontinued and thus available for dirt cheap: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/prod ... sku=150361. Can anybody confirm whether will this work with the Axe-Fx? -Steve

    Tips on a sound card for Vista x64 for S/PDIF recording?

    All: My motherboard has S/PDIF input, and though the Realtek ALC889 audio codec claims to support 24-bit/192kHz I/O, apparently the Realtek HD Audio Manager driver is limited to 16-bit input. There are no 24-bit options available in the input format selection of the audio manager, and when I...

    How do I get a good "metal" bass tone?

    All: I've played electric guitar for the last 15 years or so (and none too well IMO), but I picked up bass a couple of years ago and have been having a lot of fun with that. The beautiful thing about the Axe-Fx is that it is full-range and can do bass and guitar with aplomb (at least for my...
