    Agree, I should have saved the number. Do you happen to have the number still or can you confirm it was a 917 area code since I think I may have it in history? Appreciate your time.

    Help with a CLR repair

    We have already done that and spoken on the phone. The problem is I sent the amp in on an RMA after the call and it has been 2 1/2 weeks with no replies to a couple of emails I sent to verify he got it etc. (tracking shows it was delivered). I would like to get it back obviously.

    Help with a CLR repair

    I have a CLR wedge that stopped working. I got an RMA from Tom King on Feb 21 and sent the amp in for repair. Tom actually called me and said it would be 1-2 weeks.

    Output 2 level seems 12db down from output 1

    I have the Austin Buddy Live Gold loaded. When looking at the grid in FM Edit out 1 and 2 blocks are both set the same. When I look at the meters while playing on the FM3 out 2 is about 12 db lower. In IO settings Output 1 Configuration is stereo, +4, normal. In IO settings Output 2...

    Austin Buddy Gold Pak and Wah Settings

    I think that was why Austin Buddy in his video shows setting the Ext 1 and 2 at 100% in settings, so people would not have to edit every preset. But it did not work and I don't yet see why.

    Austin Buddy Gold Pak and Wah Settings

    I just installed the Gold Pak on my FM3 and have Ext 1 and 2 set at 100% in Setup/Midi Remote on the FM3 as instructed in ABs YT video. I have a spring loaded wah. All the presets show the wah on in Fm3 Edit and they are all on when I play. How to make the wahs auto engage with the Gold Pak?

    Dazz by Brick - How To Effects - Old RnB Tune

    Given the year it kind of limits what was available to delay, vibe, phase, rotary, and filter I think. And I can't really tell if it is maybe a keyboard plus effects vs a guitar and effects. In any event, if live shows ever happen again I would like to get this sound as an RnB band I play in...

    Dazz by Brick - How To Effects - Old RnB Tune

    There is a chewiness to the sound that a closing filter gives I haven't been able to get when just using a vibe and delay for instance. Its been a month or 6 weeks since I messed with it on the HX. I think I tried the Mutron filter in it but not the phasor. I think I got kind of close with a...

    Dazz by Brick - How To Effects - Old RnB Tune

    Yep I hear something like that also but it also has a delay w about 3 repeats I think. It also sounds like a filter closing down. I have tried a bunch of stuff and got some reasonable sounds on the hx effects but hoping to do better on the fm3

    Favorite Multi-effect Pedal to Pair up with your FM3

    An hx effects looks like a great pairing to an FM 3 to me. Midi capable. 6 switches. Good effects for live easily. That's my plan when my number comes up. The hx works great with a real amp in 4 cable also.

    LCD replacement for Axe II Mark 1

    LCD replacement for Axe II Mark 1

    Yep, contact spray and reseated it a few times. I have been in contact with Fractal support and given the symptoms they think it is most likely the display itself. I can still read it but it is not like it was before. I wish axe edit had access to all the parameters. I rarely change anything live.

    My axe 2 works great along with my mfc 101. But the contrast on the LCD has gone low even with contrast set to max. Fractal has no LCD s for these and the LCD is a custom part so I can't order a replacement from the LCD mfr. Is there any PC based software that allows us to see all the settings...

    FM3 + HX Effects

    That sounds really good. Some people report running out if dsp on the FM3 so it seems to me offloading some effects into the hx and gaining more switches is a good thing. I don't have an FM3 yet so.... But sure is nice to know this is a possibility.

    FM3 + HX Effects

    Because I own the HXFX already. If it can be used in place of the FC6 and it can bring good effects into the mix at the same time it seems it may be a better choice than the FC6 in some cases. All the FC6 does is increase the footswitches for the FM3. The FC6 cannot be used as an effects...

    FM3 + HX Effects

    Anyone using this combo? Seems like it might be a good way to use the FM3 for modeling and cabs mostly and the HXFX for effects. You would also get 6 additional switches to integrate into the FM3/HXFX rig plus the tap tempo on the HXFX. So 10 useful switches total. I plan on getting an FM3...

    Display on Original AFX2

    Well, the bad news is that the lcd was a custom part made for Fractal and is no longer available. Ouch! I was planning on selling the II when the FM3 is available so I guess my AFX II value just decreased. Anyone have a spare AFXII LCD lol?

    I think the display has gone bad. Fractal no longer stocking that part, asking them for mfr p/n if they have it.

    Display on Original AFX2

    Yeah, no matter how it is adjusted it does not work right anymore. There is some text visibility at 100% contrast and reduces with lower values, the pic does not show it though as the text is so faint the camera does not pick it up.

    Display on Original AFX2

    As title says the display has changed so the text is very dim and there is now a little fan noise. This is a gen 1 unit and the case has never been opened. How best to proceed? Obviously no warranty and I am ok around electronics.
