    Got a request that will make the tube die-hards think....can you do a demo video?

    Why can't someone like what they like and not have someone else trying to prove them wrong? Go practice.

    New Windows 11 PC Build Won't Recognize Axe III

    New PC here and it won't recognize the Axe. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting both, etc. No dice. If it matters I'm running an MSI B660-A Pro MB, I5 13600 with 64GB DDR4. Thanks in advance. I should add that the first time I plugged in the USB cable from the axe, and before...

    How does the AXE FX3 sound compare to UA/Apollo amp/FX plugins?

    I recommend a Tom Quayle video on YT called "How I Make Axe FX Tones". It was a game changer for me. There are 4-5 settings he tweaks in the amp and cab blocks that literally make all the difference for me. Now whenever I create a new preset, I adjust those very parameters. That video is a...

    Managing Presets

    For me, it's not a matter of space on the Axe. I'd never need 512 presets. Probably more like 3 or 4. But my OCD makes me want to have all the stock and purchased presets on the Axe. Ultimately, the more I think of it, the more likely I am to just move everything off of it onto my...

    Managing Presets

    Just curious what some of you do regarding managing presets on the AF3. I didn't want to move the stock presets off the device so I just pushed them back to positions 128-511. This way the first 128 spots were open for me to use for my own. Then I bought a couple of packs and next thing you...

    Just wondering how many folks here are using the AFIII for older, "simpler" tones from the '70s. I'm jamming with a band that does a ton of Allman Brothers as well as Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. I've been working on an Allman Brothers type preset with scenes for clean, lead, etc. It...

    Using Axe-Fx 3 w/ another Interface

    Excellent. Thanks so much for that. Looks like I don't need anything else then. Just to route it all according to my rig.
  50. C

    Using Axe-Fx 3 w/ another Interface

    Understood. So you're running SPDIF to and from the interface? Does that allow re-amping? Currently I'm only running SPDIF from the axe to the interface but nothing back from the interface to the axe.
  51. C

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Axe USB connection also serve to allow you to select the Axe as the interface when re-amping?

    Using Axe-Fx 3 w/ another Interface

    I guess I'll stick with it this way. Another option is to get a simple monitor controller. I can send the outputs from the Axe and the Interface to it and then select which source to send to the monitors. They can share the monitors this way. It would replace the need for the SPDIF. Just...

    Using Axe-Fx 3 w/ another Interface

    I think I may not be able to use just the USB connection with the Axe because my interface connects to the iMac via Firewire. There's no USB jack so perhaps I can't route the Axe Output 1 to the interface without SPDIF? I'm looking into it.

    Tutorial on how to play my Axe-Fx 3 through a DAW

    A tutorial would be great. If you're using the Axe as the interface, just connect it via USB to your computer. In your DAW, you need to select it as the audio device. I don't use mine as the interface. Instead, I send the SPDIF out from the Axe, to the SPDIF in on my interface. My interface...

    First Day With AFX3 Tomorrow...

    Just ordered one and some right angle adapters from Amazon. I have a bunch but they're either too short or too rigid. I'm afraid the strain on the jacks on the AF3 or Saffire could damage it. I could do XLR but the XLR jacks are on the front of my Saffire and don't want that.

    Axe II Wait List: Why not bump Store Retail to $4000 and begin the List?

    If the point of the waiting list was to facilitate the matter of actually getting an Axe II, then yes, the price should have been higher. In fact, when you think of it, if the price was $10,000 but you got an 80% off coupon, people would actually be able to use the coupon without having to...
  69. C

    Able to add to cart, still bailed!

    The waiting list would have worked if they doubled the price and then offered 50% off coupons. I have to assume they wouldn't be selling at $4400. And if they did, it'd be a Pod HD for me. :)

    sales@fractal or sales@fractal.com or sales@fractalaudio.com ?

    From what I've read, I believe the answer is yes. Just need confirmation. Since I'm planning on ditching my Audio Interface, I realize, I still need "something" to connect my DAW Monitors to. So, I guess I'm asking: Does the Axe II replace the interface completely? I know the USB gives me a...

    Rough time estimate of AxeFX II purchase availability AND wave #2?

    AFX2 As Interface for Mic Preamp?

    But if I kept my mic Preamp, fed the mic into that and then sent that to the Axe II, and in theory, set up a patch with nothing but shunts, should that work for micing real amps into the DAW?
  79. C

    AFX2 As Interface for Mic Preamp?

    If that's true, that's pretty sweet because I'd be able to sell my Focusrite interface and my Studio Projects preamp. Then when I want to mic my Mark IV, I could just plug the mic into the VTB-1 and then feed that to the Axe.

    I'm in the same boat. When the Axe II is out of stock the thing will be on eBay for $2500 or more. You know that will happen. Then, the Ultras and Standards will go back up a bit.
  87. C

    Am I alone in keeping the Ultra????

    This will happen often. You will have the AII early adopters that MUST convince themselves and everyone else, that the AII is better by leaps and bounds because they need to A) justify the expense B) have the latest and greatest. Then there will be the guys who recently got an Ultra when the...

    Axe DAW/Direct Discussion Forum

    Jay, I understand your points but have to point out that I'm not comparing near-fields to stage monitors. I'm comparing near-fields to real guitar cabs. A live preset, and by live I mean Axe/poweramp/cab, does not translate to the direct scenario.
