    MFC 101 NAMM or bust

    My purchase of an AxeFX Ultra is pending upon the availability of the MFC101. I'm sure there're more people like me who're waiting for Fractal's midi-gem to come out before purchasing an actual Axe unit. But, yeah, seriously. If they're putting people on a waiting list that's been growing for 2...

    Wah, Whammy, and Volume pedals.

    makes sense. thx! about teh volume pedal. is it just as useful to go guitar->volume pedal->axefx or should you create a volume block for for master volume and use an ernie ball as an expression pedal for that?

    Wah, Whammy, and Volume pedals.

    would I have to set up an IA switch for both the whammy and wah in this case?

    Wah, Whammy, and Volume pedals.

    Hey guys, I am a soon-to-be axe fx owner as soon as that blesed MFC101 is released... so maybe not too "soon"... anyway. I'm going to stick to using my crybaby wah and digitech whammy IV as opposed to using the ones built in the AxeFX. How do you guys reccomend connecting these pedals in...

    Digitech Whammy IV midi question

    I'm not an AxeFX user yet (though I've played through one long enough to know I want one); I'm just waiting for the Fractal midi board to release. Anywho... When I get my Axe, I'm going to keep my Digitech Whammy IV since I wasn't gaga over the Axe's whammy sounds. Though the Whammy IV has a...

    MFC101 pics!!!

    I'm currently not using an AxeFx (though I've played through one on a try-out basis) but I'll be buying one as soon as its released with the MFC101. So, you're got a guarenteed sell once you release that puppy!

    Digitech Whammy IV Compatible?

    One of the few thigns I dislike about teh AxeFX is it's Whammy function. I don't find it sounds half as good as a regular whammy does and it's just really hard to fidn a good sweep using an expression pedal (EBJr). The Whammy IV does, however, have a midi in/out function so that it can be...

    What are your Fav Amp Sims?

    With my limited experience with the AxeFX, I'm raelly digging the Blackface for cleans (the TS808 makes it a great rhythm machine too), Top Boost for med-gain, Boutique one for med-gain leads, and I've been using the Recto for high-gains, but I'm going to explore some other high-gain sounds (is...

    POLL: which Expression Pedal is best?

    Well, I've got one EBJr (which is working fine) and an older/bigger one which I haven't tried yet; they were both lent to me to try out. So, I'll let ya know when I give it a whirl later on!

    POLL: which Expression Pedal is best?

    Question... Can you use any Ernie Ball Volume pedal for expression, or just the JR's?

    POLL: which Expression Pedal is best?

    So, I'm thinking of getting the AxeFX. My friend Tim has so graciously lent me his AxeFX for a few weeks and I've been pretty impressed and taken agasp by it's capabilities/sound. However, I think I'm going to wait until the release of the MFC101 before I get my AxeFX; I'll just kill two birds...

    How to setup a Whammy pedal?

    Can someone tell me how to set up my EB Jr exp. pedal as a Whammy? Obviously, I use the PITCH block and Whammy setting, but which parameter am I modifying to go from normal to one octave up?

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    I guess my issue lies in the problem that the Expression Pedal ("external 1") is working for any other effects now; it only works for that one "Crystals" patch as then "ingain" level. Unless... even though I'm using one expression pedal to control all of these different modifiers, do I have to...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    No, I think that's what I was trying to accomplish. Thing is, that only works for one patch. It seems that I can only use the expression pedal for that one effect. I must be doing something wrong, for sure.

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    No, actually, I did assign it to the master volume of just the effect in its block. How is it that I can still use the expression pedal for another effect on another patch?

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    I guess I'm halfway there. I got the GCP to read the EBJr in the GCP (Pedal 1 in the GCP). In the "I/O" menu, I have "External 1" reading CC# 9 (where GCP Pedal 1 was assigned). Now, I put a modifier on my Crystal Delays using External 1 for it's master volume. I got that working ok, but now I...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    Any GCP users wanna give me a simple step-by-step to assigning an expression pedal to a CC#?

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    That's probably the answer I've needed all along! Thx. Now, I've gotta figure out how to do all that without screwing anything else up! heh...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    yes and no. I got the FS-5U working as a tap-tempo... but only by placing it in the PEDAL 1 INPUT in the back of the Axe. The EBJr didn't seem to work in the back of the Axe, though. I think I'm just gonna start from scratch. Before I do, here's a question: does PEDAL 1/2 INPUTS on the GCP...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    unfortuneately, I'm running a Mac, so I can't d/l that program.

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    It seems that I put the CC# back to 0 and my presets start at 000-003 again; I'm really sure how I did it, but it seems alright now. Now, I'm back to square one with being able to use the Tap Tempo and Expression Pedals. I still not sure how to calibrate them for use with the AxeFX.

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    In my attempt to have the GCOP calibrate the Exp pedal and tap tempo, I messed something else up. The AxeFX automatically goes pacth #256 instead of 000. Bleh...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    This is gonna sound dumb, but how do I do that? I'm new to the whole thing still... I've tried following the GCP manual, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking to do. I don't know what/where to assign the pedals.

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    I plugged both the Boss FU-5S (tap tempo switch) and Ernie Ball Jr into the Pedal inputs of the GPC and made sure they were "on" as far as the GCP goes. I then went to the CTRL tab (in the I/O menu) and tried to get the AxeFX to learn them, but it's not recognizing them. I'm sure there's just...

    Expression Pedal to back of AxeFX or GCP?

    These are probably common questions, but I didn't find definate answers in the manual: 1) If I'm hooking up my Ernie Ball Jr (as an expression pedal), which is most advantageous for me to do: plug it into the back of the AxeFX or into the expression input at the back of the Ground Control Pro...

    Assigning singles effects to controller.

    now that I've opened the manual and am reading up on it, this is considered the "Global Bypass" mode, correct?

    Assigning singles effects to controller.

    My first post. Woot Woot! My friend (user TimH) is so convinced that I'll want an AxeFX that he sent me his for a few weeks to try out. Unfortuneately, he's gone to Cuba for a week, so I've got no one to guide me along editing & assigning patches. I'm using a Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro with...
