    Digital audio out 96khz request

    I know this an older topic but I think the SPDIF and AES does not have that much value in a pro studio. Maybe for the home user who wants to save on a line input. Most studios now run 96 and up so that's limits the Axefx digital use. But for me it was that AxeFX had to be the master clock. In my...

    AXEFX II 100% Sync to Another AEXFX II

    I could not find a thread on this. I know the current AXE Edit is not compatible with 9.02. Does anyone know if the core (non editor) functions of the Axe Edit or will the new Axe Edit do this... I have 2 AxeFX II's and one is solely for backup. I would like to be able to save ALL the...

    Just pre-ordered my AxeFx-II, in the USA!!! Yesssssssssssssssssss :D :D :D

    Since that place sells them for the same price as Fractal direct, seems to me if I owned Fractal the Yahoo store would be my #1 and any distibutors #2. Reason is unless that site plans to make no profit how can they sell them at the same price as Fractal. Fractal must sell them at a discount to...

    Recreating our current patches

    Its understandable that evolving products at some point cannot be 100% backwards compatible. At least copying the old patch and recreating it verbatim in Axe II will be a good starting point to tweak from. Now my Ultra will be solely a backup since it may be too hard to keep it in sync with...

    Recreating our current patches

    I apologize if this has been covered but I could not find it and the technical thread has 80 pages. When the time comes and we all have our Axe II. What is the procedure for porting our patches. I understand in the future there may be a import in the Axe Edit but for now do all the settings...

    Input Level Knob

    Could not find this answer by searching or did not see this in any threads but I assume someone has brought this up. I see no input level knob on the Axe II. I use mine alot on the Axe I when I switch guitars or want to boost it a bit, changes the tone slightly for me.

    Caution, Sellers!

    Excellent Post! Pretty much sums it all up. Yesterday I had to have the Axe II. Today I am thinking about all the other issues involved with it. Setting up all new patches, I am 100% happy with my Axe I now. I can recall many new items I purchased to replace old items only to ponder later if it...

    Wow! Never seen so much Whining and Crying. Lets get a grip on this!

    Cliff could have said a year ago Axe II was in the works, he could have said 6 months ago but he has reasons and all smart companies do not like to string customers along without solid dates, etc. Apple NEVER releases the dates until they are 100% sure and its usually a month away. All the leaks...

    Wow! Never seen so much Whining and Crying. Lets get a grip on this!

    I actually bought a Standard a month ago as a second unit. My post was only to encourage people to enjoy the Axe and not always think about whats bigger and better. Nothing insulting about my post, just the way you are reading between the lines and not seeing what I am trying to say. My post...

    Wow! Never seen so much Whining and Crying. Lets get a grip on this!

    If I sound harsh I apologize but after reading all of the whining and crying, my Ultra is obsolete, how dare Cliff not let us know, whine, whine… First off nothing is obsolete, the Axe II is improved with some neat features, but people make it sound like its game over for the Standard and...

    Mass Exodus dumping of Axe-Fx on eBay today. :)

    I wouldnt say there is a mass exodus. Like anything there is always upgrades. Look at the cell phone industry and how they string people to buy iPhone 4, etc when the 3 is fine. The power Axe users would benifit from AxeII but I belive 75% of the users are happy as is. The power Axe users...

    Standard has some balls!

    I have an Ultra and Standard. Standard is used for backup. All my patches work fine in the standard with 7%-15% more cpu. One patch I have runs 68% in the Ultra and 55% in the standard. No idea why. Who said the standard does not rock!

    Pitch Shift Latency. Recommendations?

    We decided to throw a cover in our band. Its a Van Halen tune 1/2 step down. I do not want to go the 2nd tuned guitar route for one song. Been using the pitch block and it sound ok, but I get some latency in it. Anyone have any settings to help this issue? The patch itself only uses 60%...

    Standard can keep up with the Ultra. Impressed!

    Since I have been running my Ultra for the past 2 years it has been flawless. But with a tour coming up this year decided to buy a backup. Been pondering standard but most threads say the ultra patches may be too much, etc. Decided to save $500. $500 is $500 and a backup that may never get...

    Axe FX Ultra

    Join the club. I was AxeFX for 2 years using Marshall Tubs Amps (the power amp section only) and Marshall Cabs. In december I built an ISO cab and ordered a ton of Anvil Amp cases, etc. Spent a 4k on equip to prepare for a tour this year and now its sitting in a back room since I went FRFR last...

    Bought a 2nd AxeFX

    Well decided to bite the bullet and order a 2nd AxeFX for backup. Since I am now FRFR as of this year the Axe is everything in my signal chain. Even though the Axe has been 100% bullet proof, knock on wood, I feel better with a backup. I have the Ultra and put my patches on a diet to make...

    QSC KW122 Review

    So after having this for 2 weeks and just switching from multi tube amp and multi Marshall cabs (different speaker types) I can say going to FRFR is going to be nice. The Birch cab keeps it warm still and if I do not look at the speaker I sometimes do not know it’s not my Marshall cabs. There...

    Axe-Fx from FRFR (Verve 12ma) to a ENGL tube power amp and cabs

    I just went from Tube Power/Guitar Cab to FRFR. I agree its not 100% but I switched to FRFR for simplicity. For 2 year I used the Tube setup and it sounded great but now a days its all about low stage volume and great house mix, so I figure go with FRFR. I like the ablility to play low...

    Ultra Patch Import to Standard

    I have an Ultra, had it for a few years. Just recently switched to FRFR. By using this only I want to have a backup. Do not feel like lugging around one of my amps, plus all my tone is now in the Axe. Was considering a Standard since it is mainly for backup. What happens when you import and...

    Firmware Update - Sysex ID Issue - Am I losing my mind?

    Just updated the Ultra frrom 10.1 to 10.5. Having issues syncing to my liquid foot pro. Went to the midi section of the Axe and could have swore I used to be able to change the sysex id. I could have swore I set this to 125. Did this firmware change or screw something up as now I cannot...

    Got my QSC KW122 Today

    I have nothing to compare it to since this is my first direct cab coming from Axe->Tube Power-> Guitar Cab, so I have nothing to base anything off. First impressions. Great size and I love the handles on the sides and top. Someone was thinking in the eng dept. Lays nice like a wedge and is...

    In a perfect world would you go direct?

    Just that Stereo is night and day. In mono everything is stacking up on eachother and there is no room or seperation. When you run guitars left/right and tracks left/right and most everything else in the center (also depends on how much drums are mic in the in ears) it makes a world of...

    Going FRFR. Thanks again to everyone for the tips!

    Yes I ordered the KW122. Wanted the Birch woods, 2 handles and upgraded driver. It was $300 more but should be worth it. Ordered it from Sweetwater.

    In a perfect world would you go direct?

    We contemplated that route. Our shows use a synced video with click track and time code. The laptop and pro tools was to risky unless you have a large budget and clustered fail over boxes, plus it was too much equipment, etc. We have 2 snakes. One on the stage for our mics, bass, etc. We do...

    In a perfect world would you go direct?

    IEM's depend on what type of music your playing, venue, etc. A smaller band may get away without but large drum kit with cymbals blasting, adding ear plugs you lose the entire guitar tone. Going without your ears will ring. I love in-ears. BUT you have to set them up right. I hated them when...

    Ordered a QSC KW12

    Based on all the reviews here on the K12, all positive I ordered the new version. Made in Costa Mesa, CA and supposed to have an upgraded driver aside from the Birch Cabinet with side handles. Seems the electronics were overbuilt on the K12, which is good, so they did not upgrade these...

    Can some one recommend a small mixer?

    Behringers are ok for the price, but the quality is not the best. You get what you pay for. I have purchased a ton of Behringer stuff and it just seems to fall apart. Circuitwise its solid but knobs and stuff, not so much. If cost is not an issue try the Soundcraft Notepad. I got the 12fx...

    Going FRFR. Thanks again to everyone for the tips!

    Yes for stage sound you would need 2 for stereo. FOH is usually mono so I send them one mono feed. Don't think there is that much benifit for stereo on stage. For In-ears its a must! Yes. The verve people said sounds better a tad, I think its because of the Birch. I ordered the KW12 which is...

    Going FRFR. Thanks again to everyone for the tips!

    Thanks to everyone on this forum and the great posts and threads, I have decided to bite the bullet and go FRFR. Must have spent 100k on rack gear, plexi amps, etc.. over the years. Last month I built a ISO cab with 2 Celestion KT100 and they sound great. Got a few weeks usage out of that :(...

    In a perfect world would you go direct?

    I had posted a poll earlier and got some great responses but I am thinking maybe my question was too deep. Basically all I want to know is: If you always used in-ears would you go direct to the front house sound or do you feel an amp and cab being mic’d is key to your sound?

    Poll - Direct / Atomic Setup / Power Amp

    I did not list that since that is considered passive amp as it would not color the sound much if at all. For those who use the passive amp system and speaker, I assume that would sound the same as direct? That is what I am looking for. With a tube power amp and a guitar speaker it contributes...

    Poll - Direct / Atomic Setup / Power Amp

    I’m sure this topic has been around for a long time but not sure if any actual numbers have been established. I have been using the Axe since it first came out and love it. But coming from a huge rack, amp farm background I have struggled by still using a hybrid solution. Right now I use...

    Anyone get a Liquid Foot This Year?

    axe-fx sound better direct or thorugh a real cab?

    All preference and how much you want to spend tweaking. A lot of people go direct and Dwezil Zappa goes direct into a PA for his gigs. I always use a cab and power amp. I like the punch and feedback, etc. I come from the old school where all tube and no digital. I got the AXE because all the...

    Why are you waiting for the MFC?

    The ONLY reason I am waiting is rumors are it's a stepped design layout, which is about TIME! Owing many midi pedals and looking at many pedals, I cannot Fathom why these designers always design a flat board that is prone to hitting the switch below it. Yes some people claim there’s works fine...

    Axe Durability

    What are your thoughts on the Axe Durability. Some concerns I have are: Is the PC board mounted on rubber spacers or hard to the chassis like in a computer. Would the vibration from traveling affect any components, like a bad solder joint? What about heat? The Axe has a fan but there is no...

    Pet Peeve

    Not True, if that was the case when I turn the output volume via the front AXE output control it would distort like you suggested. But it does not it gets much much louder with no distortion change what so ever. This is not a signal level issue coming out of the AXE, I have tons of head room...

    I use mono out and plug it into the return on a marshall modern vintage head (using only the power amp side).

    Pet Peeve

    What is the "MIX" level for on the last tab out layout? I thought that was the volume for the preset. When I turn this up it adds distrotion to the sound, and this way before the red clip light comes on.

    Pet Peeve

    Not sure who experiences this but it has been one of my pet peeves with the Axe since day one. The level controls. For example I place and amp in the layout, any amp, for this I’ll use the “Usa Clean”. I know the DRIVE/GAIN and MASTER work together and they both create distortion depending...

    My Hooves are too big

    My GCP has a switch that went out. Seems the transporting and stomping on the unit wears out the PCB type switches. Pretty cheesy for even for a $400+ controller. Unless the Axe Midi controller comes out soon I may be forced to go the Liquid Foot route. Personally I think these botique...

    Is it just me or do you have to be a Minotaur with hooves to accurately hit the buttons on most midi controllers. My foot is not over sized, I wear size 12-13 and still have issues balancing on one foot trying to hit the right button perfectly. I generally end up setting most used on the bottom...

    The delay between changing presets with a foot controller

    I seem to be having this problem with the Ground Control Pro. Reading the post I was not sure what remedies were in the Liquid Pro settings and what were in the Axe. Is there anything in the Axe that would be causing this or is this some setting on my GC Pro. Very frustrating as I need to...
