About to take the plunge... again?

So it’s been a few years since I’ve used anything fractal. Had a II for about 7 years and it was amazing. Sold it and was going to build a traditional tube rig. 15 pedals in and I’m pretty much sick of it hahaha. Haven’t even finished putting it all together and I’m thinking sell it all to grab...

Patches from old Firmware to latest Firmware questions.

I haven't seen this brought up in a while but it would be great if an official answer was given. Being a fan of some patches from Firmware 18 and now 20 coming out soon, what happens when you load up "older" patches like that? Is it just the amps running that version of the amp modeling? Is it...

Always wanted to know the answer to this.

I've upgraded to the latest firmware and its fantastic. My question is in regards to old presets posted by others. Are patches made by Misha and Jake Bowen ect at this point completely useless ? They won't sound the way they were originally intended but will noise gate settings/effects be...

Stolen JPXI 7 in Tampa Bay Area, FL

Hey guys, still shocked that this happened. It was a JPXI 7 with some BKP Juggernauts installed. They left the case and grabbed the guitar from the stage at my church. I'm not sure how to post pictures from my iPhone but I'll do that later today. Should I post the serial number as well? The...

Noise gate in 14?

Did something change with how the noise gate works ? The settings I'm used to using aren't blocking the feedback or noise in general. Just curious, is there something I need to reset and apologize if the topic has been covered. Thanks guys!

Drive pedal effects loop help.

I have an overdrive pedal I want to run in the effects loop so I can make use of the input noise gate. How the heck do I route this? I checked the manual and used the fx loop block before the amp. I connected the pedal every possible way I could think and I get no sound when I engage the block...

Headphone questions

I just bought a pair of beyer dt770's. I plugged them into my axe and the sound is super thin compared to when I'm using my mackie speaker. Is that just the nature of using headphones or am I doing something wrong ? What do you guy do to get a good sound from these.

Just bought the redwirez big box ! Any tips from users?

I kept hearing lots of great reviews on this collection so I figured why not. Besides the tutorial page redwirez provides, what is something you guys did when starting to tackle this. I'm totally new to IRs so I figured I would just see what everyone else does or has done. Thanks ! Dave

Made a poor decision but never again lol...

I just updated to the 2.0 firmware on Sunday and holy crap did things change for the better. I played the Dr. Z and FAS Modern for 3 hours and stopped because I had to eat something. I haven't just sat down and played guitar for that long in years! Thank you Fractal Audio for blowing my mind...

NGD ! Mackie Hd

So last night fedex brought me my mackie hd 1221. I'll admit I was a little nervous because I had no idea what to expect going the frfr route. I was an amp and cab guy for so long that I figured it just wouldn't sound or feel right. Well I can put those feelings to rest because I'm addicted to...
