    Old strings?

    I'm a recent returnee to the world of Fractal having (like many) flip-flopped between digital & tube amps over the years. Is it me, or are modellers more sensitive to older, duller strings, especially the lower wound strings? I find that (maybe) my tube amps are more forgiving, tonally and in...

    Switching between 2 amps with FX8

    Is the per-patch mixer the key to using 2 amps - one clean, 1 dirty - with the FX8? Or is there another way? Thanks.

    Matrix FR212/GT1000 users - advice?

    Hey all. I'm a relatively experienced Fractal user. I recently picked up Matrix FR212 + GT1000 power amp combo as an alternative to a CLR, which I have since sold. Understanding as I do that FRFR will likely never feel the same a regular guitar cab, I wanted to see if the 2x12 would get...

    Matt & Joe - VOL/WAH expression pedal double duty?

    With my MFC, I save board space by using a toe-switch Mission pedal that acts as my volume pedal until I hit the switch, when it becomes my wah. Is it possible to do the same thing on the FX8 using the global volume pedal option, thus saving an FX block? Thanks!

    Best amps to check out for 335 funk/soul/blues tones?

    Hey All... I just got my hands on a sweet Epi Elitest 335, made in 2004 at the Terada plant. Which amps would be best to check out for clean to slight breakup funk/soul/blues tones with this guitar? Thanks!

    Apple Yosemite?

    Fractal chaps - Apple Yosemite? Hey Fractal peeps - Will the Fractal apps run on Apple's Yosemite? Wondering if I should wait before upgrading my OS... Thanks - for this, and for everything that Fractal does for us. Amazing customer service.

    Mission SP-1 volume/wah control from 1 pedal

    Hey all I believe that I can configure my SP-1 pedal (with toe switch) to act as a volume pedal, but then control the wah when I activate the switch, which simultaneously kills the volume pedal control. For the life of me I cannot find the video/wiki/manual instructions on how to do this, and...

    Tap tempo IA switch problem...

    Hi All. Been searching for this here and on the wiki, but haven't found anything pertinent. I've got my MFC working great (latest MFC firmware, 11b on AxeFX), but for the life of me I can't figure out why my MFC 'tap tempo' switch doesn't adjust the delay time on the delay block. I've...

    Grissom Tones

    Anyone got a patch (or suggestions as to which amp to start with) for Dave Grissom's tone? My DGT PRS is ready to go...

    About to throw in the towel (FRFR vs power amp + guitar cab

    Posted this over at TGP and want to ask the same questions here... I've had an AFX for a year now, using 2 Verve 12ma monitors. The concept of the Axe was hard to ignore even though I am aware of my own limitations at tone building (I am an impatient 'instant gratification' guy) but.... At...

    Mysterious Ways patch - Arghh

    So... I suggested to the band we add Mysterious Ways to the set, thinking all along how cool it would be to play that riff, with THAT tone, at the first rehearsal, and watch everyone's head turn. Well f**k me if I cannot find the patch anywhere and, if I am completely honest, I do not have the...

    This weekend's gigs & Axe-FX live tone challenges.

    Morning all I played a couple of gigs this weekend using my PRS DGT, AFX Ultra and a single Verve 12ma for monitoring. These were my first full gigs playing live with it in our 9 piece (horns, keys, 2 singers) R&B band. I had very little time choose/prepare my tones for the show, and had to...

    Which amp for a Dave Grissom tone?

    Hey all I just listened to Dave Grissom's most recent release '10,000 ft'. Not my cup of tea musically, but GREAT guitar sounds. Where should I start to try and find that warm OD tone? My fave is the opening riff to the first tune "Keep Rollin' On". It's got a Marshall low end growl, but so...

    Axe-FX plugged in FOH - more chance of a shock?

    Hey all Just about to debut the Axe-Fx at a club here. I have been wondering for a while if I should get a wireless system, not only for ease of moving around, but mostly to reduce the chance of a shock when singing BU vox and playing. If I'm using a cable into the Axe-FX and going direct...

    MidiMate phantom power issue

    Trying to get my old MidiMate board up and running while I wait for the Fractal pedalboard. I have a 7 pin midi cable running Axe-FX > MidiMate, and am trying to use a VoodooLab Pedal Power 2 to send power. If I plug the PP2 directly into the MidiMate, it gets power and all is well. If I plug...

    Fractal Audio furniture delivery

    We recently moved into a new house and our new sofa was delivered last Saturday. The house is older, with awkwardly small entrances, and while we had some concerns that we might not get the couch inside, we decide to leave it up to the Delivery Gods. Well - our 2 large, friendly, Eastern...

    Strange rhythmic SPDIF noise

    Hey all... hoping someone can help me with this.... I connected my Ultra with my MOTU 828mk2 for the first time using the digital SPDIF outs/ins, going into Logic Pro 9 at 48khz. I've tried 2 different cables and I get this same noise with each one - a very brief 'hiss/white noise' pulse every...

    Strange overtones/artifacts.

    My Ultra is running 7.18 through a Verve 12ma. I was playing around with some clean Tweed/Vox tones this evening and noticed a very pronounced overtone/artifact (almost ring modulator-like) when I popped or snapped any of the unwound upper strings. This effect was even more pronounced on the...

    FBT 12ma problem

    Hi All I was very excited to receive my 2 12ma monitor speakers this week, and finally had the chance to plug them in this evening. To my surprise, one of them sounds thin and fizzy, while the other sounds just glorious. I reversed the speaker cables and the same monitor sounds fizzy, so I'm...

    Going out live in stereo - Ultra/Verve 12ma question

    Got me an evil plan with a new band to use the Ultra direct to FOH in stereo, while monitoring in stereo on 2 Verve 12mas. How do I achieve this with only 2 outs on the Ultra? Thanks in advance.
