    FM9 - can't permanently disable from System Sounds

    My FM9 keeps hogging Windows audio, even though I keep disabling it in favour of my RME UFX. Any permanent solutions? Cheers, Bob.

    Marshall Major - build from something else?

    In lieu of a Fractal Marshall Major model. For the tech heads/amp builders. 1 - which other Fractal models have an Ultra Linear output stage? 2 - what Fractal models possess exactly the same tonestack architecture (feedback loop)? Please note that "Plexi" type amp's are very different from...

    FM3 with SoloDallas IR's at Wacken, 2022

    My band at Wacken, 2022. The mix is not our Australian sound engineer's; it's from the German OB van, so is not, understandably, what we might prefer. Also, as far as I can hear, there is little or no "air" in terms of audience mic's. Bugger about that. Me playing regular tuning rhythm in the...

    AFIII Axe 3 with Rose Tattoo

    Just a snippet of my band, Rose Tattoo, from Nuremberg, 2018, because I quite like the tone. Pups by Chris Kinman (Australia), guitar by Les at 68 Guitars (Australia), volume by Fractal Audio. Cheers, Bob.

    Goodbye, & thanks for all the fish.....

    The time has come for me to bid adieu to the Ultra FX. There have been many aspects of the unit I've thoroughly enjoyed & it's been an occasionally wonderful, educational & exciting journey. The FX are amongst the best I've heard in a rack mount device, the easy ordering & re-ordering of them...

    A personal & temporary workaround for different transients

    For those interested, here's a temporary & admittedly not very elegant workaround for me & what I perceived to be a transient (I dare not utter the "C" word") element I found lacking in the Axe. If this post doesn't interest you, for the sake of others here & in the hope of open discussion &...

    Volume Modifier sounds odd

    Though I've had my Axe for nearly a year, I'm just now experimenting with modifiers! Objective - I'd like the Axe to simply get much louder when I play louder/harder - but not the usual "amp gets louder" from normal dynamics; I'd like to assign a modifier to the output level (the actual output...

    Ability to delay the IR's

    It would be very handy (for me, at any rate) to be able to delay a single IR millisecond by millisecond (or fraction thereof) to facilitate the phase "problems" encountered when combining two IR's, which I like to do in the real world of micing amp's. Thanks, Bob.

    Oz buyers who paid no tax?

    Are there any Oz buyers out there who have official paperwork provided by our dear friends in Customs saying that the Axe is exempt from Tax due to it being a "Computer", not an "Amplifier"? Ta, Bob.

    Townshend - DI'd?......

    Does anyone here suspect that at least some of "Won't Get Fooled Again" is an amp or preamp DI'd? In some ways it resembles the "fuzzy" tone Joe Walsh used on his early albums - I don't know what that is, BTW, it just smells a tad DI'd. Thoughts? Over, Bob.

    Wishing to avoid another fried EPROM

    I've already fried two EPROMs this year & I seem to have had some bad luck (er, though I don't believe in "luck") with my Axe & upgrading the firmware. I do stacks of recording & mastering on my main PC - I have three very nice PC's (MacIntel Quad Xeon, Dell laptops) & two MIDI interfaces (RME...

    Bender Fuzz - general

    I have owned in the past, & still have, a variety of Tone bender clones (and I used to play "real ones" as a kid). I find the Bender Fuzz very bright & low gain compared with, for example, my current fave, the Fulltone Soul Bender. Please note, I am not a fan of "high gain", but there seems to...

    Possible Win 64 bit & Firmware issues

    I've been communicating with Marty regarding my frozen Ultra. It seems that there may be issues with XP/Vista 64 bit systems & the firmware updating. I'm going to install XP 32 bit on one of my Laptops for the next firmware update.

    Axe Frozen again

    After a few hours lost & many dramas re the update procedure, MIDI-OX finally took. Unfortunately, "Verifying Flash" was the result. After turning the Axe off, as advised, it's now frozen again. Am about to pull the battery out & re-insert. Will post results ASAP.

    "Verifying Flash" stuck - now what?

    After the usual up-date dramas, now the Axe is stuck on "Verifying Flash" for the last 45 minutes......... I'm afraid to turn it off! Advise, please?

    First "real" gig review

    Though I've had the Ultra for a couple of months, I played my first "real" gig with it a week ago. Brief background on me - I've been a professional musician since the age of 14, & approximately one in twenty people in my country (Australia) owns a record from one or the other of the two "big"...

    Mitigator presets do not co-incide with Axe

    I have a Mitigator (an old MIDI controller) that doesn't want to co-incide with the Axe. Have successfully used it for many years with other equipment, so I assume that I've neglected something in the setting up of the Axe. If, for example, I send out program change 30 on channel 1, the Axe...

    Why do my user IR's do this?

    This has me stumped. I listen to the Axe using my favourite wav IR's through an app like SIR, Voxengo Boogex etc in my recording software & they sound great. Big, fat, full, lovely. I export them to the Axe, either as wav or syx files, & they sound totally different & awful. Thin, fizzy, tinny...

    New EPROM - now Axe won't boot

    I have emailed Marty, but just in case anyone here has some advise. My new EPROM arrived today. I very carefully replaced it, but now the unit will not turn on at all, with either the old or new EPROM. Any advise? Over, Bob.

    Should I update my second Axe Ultra?

    My band has two Ultras (and now the bass player is keen on getting one!). I updated mine to 7.12 & it died (currently awaiting a new EPROM - thanks Marty). So the question is: what should I do with the other Ultra? As they arrived on the same day, presumably from the same batch, what's the...

    Envelope Follower Request

    12 Days in.........

    I've had my Ultra for 12 days now. Have done a serious amount of listening, comparing with my various amps & pre-amps, recordings etc. Bottom line: I think the Axe FX is an astonishing piece of machinery. I'm a very happy camper & am quite excited about recording again. Lovely. Bob...

    Possibly stupid bypass question

    Apologies in advance for newbie question. Yes, I have RTFM, but think I'm missing something. Is there a way to bypass a single effect/block when in edit mode, rather than "pre-program" whichever blocks will be bypassed in "bypass" mode? Thanks, Bob.

    Validation of U.S Manufacture, please?

    Hi. We've recently purchased two Ultras, & need verification for Australian Customs that the unit was made in the U.S, as they are giving us grief over the duties the Ultras will incur. Can anyone help out with some documentation? Or a link to it? Thanks, Bob.

    Controlling EQ/Filter with input amplitude?

    I am a newbie to the Ultra, so please forgive me if this has been covered. Does the ability exist to control a filter/EQ's output volume relative to the guitar's volume at the input stage of the Ultra? IOW, I'd like to set up a filter or single band EQ, so that as I pick harder, the output of...

    Please direct me to SPDIF info?

    I have searched, but I'm missing something...... Would a kind soul please direct me to a thread about why SPDIF is 48K only? I recall seeing one previous to buying my Ultra, and now that I have mine, I can't find it again........ Thanks, Bob.

    Audio projects at 44.1K

    Hi. I have a large number of "already" started audio projects recorded at 44.1K to which I'd like to add some guitars through the Ultra's spdif. Q: Any suggestions about the easiest way to do this? I have neither the time nor the desire to re-sample everything at 48K! I use an RME FireFace...
