    Did I miss something in recent updates?

    I noticed that when I first turn on the Axe Fx III that no matter what preset I'm on, it sounds rather brittle, almost ice-picky, but all I have to do is switch to another preset and then back to the original and the original now sounds much more mellow. Definitely get a significant change in...

    Not a Bug Axe Edit Song Export doesn't appear correct

    I was playing around with the new setlist function and created some "dummy songs" for test. The first Song has presets 68, 69, 70,71,72,73 for Song 001 sections 1-6. When I exported this song list, the exported file contained the following data: <Song id="0" name="Song 001"> <Section...

    SetList (Lack Of) Frustration

    I know the lack of a setlist utility is an old issue but I just wanted to give an example of how frustrating it is not to have one. I've sorted all of my presets into folders for particular genres of music. When I am working on a new song, I will scan through these genre specific folders to...

    FC-12 Bug?: Scribble Strips don't reflect "Display Offset" Setting

    Have a switch setup to "toggle in bank" between the 1st and 6 preset in the bank. When I set Display Offset to 0, the preset shown on the main FC screen is 147 and the FC switch mini-display shows 147. When I set Display Offset to 1, the main FC screen shows 148 but the scribble strip...

    Is there a way to batch change Wah controller from External 1 to FC Pedal 1?

    Very glad to have updated presets for 16.01 but not looking forward to manually changing the Wah Controller from External 1 to FC Pedal 1 on these presets. Thought Fractool might be a way to make a batch change but it doesn't look like it. Has anyone come up with a way to do something like...

    Do major firmware updates make commercial preset packs obsolete?

    For those of you who purchase commercial preset packs, do you find that those presets hold up after a firmware revision like 16.01? If you go in and reset your amp block and/or other blocks to bring in the settings required by 16.01, how does that affect the quality of the presets that were...

    Soft-Reset for Presets on Disk?

    Confused about when/why to reset amp block - could use some help

    My understanding of presets and firmware is that the firmware does the processing of input signals via it's algorithms which can, in principle, be different with every firmware release. Presets on the other hand, are collections of parameters which customize exactly how the algorithm will do...

    Won't Fix Next and Previous Preset Hot Keys are single not double key strokes

    It would be a lot easier to sample and choose presets with Axe Edit if the hot keys for next/previous preset were simply "page up/page down" instead of "ctrl_+ page up" and "cntrl + page down". A lot quicker to choose with one hand rather than 2 - you wouldn't lose your guitars position as...

    Possible Mapping Table Bug

    Wish - Mapping Table Default Options to make it work as a FC Set List Generator

    The mapping table ( setup -> midi/remote -> mapping ) is a nice option for a FC Set List Generator. The problem is that all of the mappings default to zero, so that if you turn mapping on, all of your presets will be mapped to preset zero. So if you only wanted to remap the 1st 5 presets and...

    Software To Convert Tab To Scale Degrees?

    Does anyone know of any software that could be used to take a tab file and convert the fret positions into scale degrees ( once you've input the key into the program)? I really like to learn licks and musical passages in terms of degrees as well as the actual notes ( since it makes transposing...

    Axe-Fx II and MFC Expander Port

    If you use a CAT 5 ethernet cable to connect the MFC to the AXE-FX II, what do you do if/when you add an expansion module to the MFC? Go back to 7 pin midi for the AXE_FX II to MFC connection and use the CAT 5 connection from the MFC to the expander?

    Convert Ultra To Axe-II Lite

    If Fractal were able to create a firmware revision that would essentially turn the Ultra into an Axe-Fx II standard or lite ( as has already been suggested by others), would you be willing to pay for that revision in order to encourage Fractal to support that effort? It might entail cutting...

    Pick-Up Advice ...

    No, not that kind, but thanks anyway .. I have an old Squier Strat that is a pretty decent guitar but has lousy electronics. I'd like to upgrade the pick-ups and possible the tone pots and wonder if you guys have any suggestions on what might work. I realize it will be quite subjective, but...

    MFC-101 Wait List Update Report

    What do you guys think about maintaining a thread that gives us some idea of where Fractal is on the MFC-101 wait list. Perhaps people could post an update if they've received an invitation and their position on the wait list was atleast one month later than the previous poster. This would give...

    Why can't the Axe get that "Amp In The Room" Sound

    I hear a lot of discussion on this forum about the AXE+FRFR not being able to get that "amp in the room" sound but that its great at getting a mic'd up sound. I don't have much experience with tube amps so I don't really know what that "amp in the room sound" really means but why shouldn't the...

    Factory Presets as "Best Practices" Model?

    I was wondering whether those of you who have spent a lot of time designing your own presets think that the Factory Presets could be looked at as models for "best practices" in designing your own presets. That is, in your opinion ( I know ... very subjective ) do you think the Factory Presets...

    Level Setting Procedure Summary

    I’ve been combing the threads looking for information on leveling procedures and tried to summarize what I found. Credit and thanks for all these procedures goes to the originators (soc9, yek, jay, etc,etc). I still have a few questions about the procedures, so if anyone can provide some...

    Crazy Idea for FBT Limit Light

    One of the slams on the FBT 12MA is the fact that the current limit light is on the back on the unit and if you have it facing you, you can't see if you're peaking out or not. I was wondering if getting a piece of fiber optic cable ( a flexible light pipe - I've seen them for various prices...

    Batch Processing of Preset Files

    It would be helpful if there were a utility that was able to do batch processing on Preset Files. It could have 2 modes a) Query b) Edit. For example, in the query mode you might specify that you want to see the preset names for all preset files in a given directory. The program could...

    Where does the fan pull air into/out of the Ultra?

    Planning on building a wooden case for the Ultra and was wondering how the Ultra pushes air in and out of the box. I know there's a fan but I can't see any dedicated inflow/outflow holes. I want to make sure these are unobstructed once the case is built - it will have a back on it but I plan...

    Difference between Mission SP-1 and SP2?

    I'm trying to figure out the difference between the Mission SP-1 and SP-2 pedals. It seems that both pedals can be functionally equivalent but that the switches behave differently on them. The best I can figure out so far is: For the SP-1, the switch can re-assign the pedal to a different...

    Can the Verve 12ma + Ultra be used as a Bass Amp?

    Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts about whether a Verve12ma and Ultra combination could be used as a bass amp for a Fender Jazz Bass? I've seen posts about creating patches for bass guitar, so it sounds like the Ultra can do the job there, but what about the Verve12ma. Any...

    Can the Axe + Verve 12ma combo be used with a bass guitar?

    Has anyone had any experience using an Axe-Fx + Verve 12ma combination with a bass guitar? I don't play bass but I'm thinking of getting one and would be tempted to run it through my Axe+12ma but am concerned about a) whether the Axe + 12ma can do similar wonderful things for a bass as it can...
