    Getting Sound More Upfront

    Been using the Axe8 for a couple of years now and I love it. Lately I've been feeling that my main gain tones lack an upfront in your face feel. Most of this is in relation to our keyboard player. When he plays his 80's synth sounds (think Van Halen and Bon Jovi type synth sounds), I feel like...

    New Fractal IRs

    Guys, I have updated to FW 18.12 but the number installed Fractal Cabs still only goes to 132...am I missing something? How do I get the other cabs that have been included/provided by Fractal?

    Low/Medium Gain Live Sounds

    What amps/cabs/EQ tricks do you guys use to get a good low/medium gain live sound with BALLS and muscle? My issue has been getting a sound that once put through a PA sounds wimpy and brittle. Example, I have been using the Buttery amp with the UR TV cab with the Master full up with juiced...

    Cab/Patch Help - Looking for Meaty Sound

    I need some cab/patch help...my band played tonight and my two main gain sounds came out thin and tinny, when I am looking for more balls and meat. For context, we played a somewhat quieter outdoor gig using QSC K12s. Also, my two sounds are very similar to each other just with differing amounts...

    FW 14.02 Bug

    Just thought I'd post a bug. I have a patch with an 800, Splawn and Euro Red…there is popping in between scenes when bouncing between these amps. Not sure why.

    Amp Softness

    What are the best parameters in an amp to make it feel a little softer? I know sag will make it feel spongy but I am looking for something that will make it sound a little softer/smoother without sacrificing the top end. I've been playing my Tele into the Splawn 1st gear. Sounds killer when I...

    Tip on Strong/Fat Clean Tone

    I usually only post asking for help but this time I thought I'd post something that worked for me so it might work for someone else. One of the biggest problems I have had is getting my clean tone to sound strong and thick in the context of my band (drums, bass, keys and me on guitar). The issue...

    Wah

    Another question about the Wah. I haven't been able to get a wah sound that feels good more than anything else. I use a Boss FV-500 into the MFC to get my Wah sound. My problem is that I feel like I am 60% into the sweep before the sound kicks in. It just feels hard to dig in because my usable...

    Pedal into MFC and No Volume

    Guys, have a question. I put my expression pedal into the pedal 1 input of the MFC. I then calibrated it in MFC. When I go to my patches, with the heel down, I have no sound. With pedal full tilt, I have a sound. I have no wah or volume blocks in my patches and there is no modifier on the amp...

    Drive1 Not Turning On [solved]

    Just got my MFC and it is awesome. I have the presets and IA switches working well except one. I have Drive1 set to IA#11 but for some reason it is not communicating with Drive1 on any patch. It shows that there is an effect there but it won't turn on. When I change IA#11 to any other effect, it...

    Scene Select & Ground Control Pro

    Guys, quick question. If I wanted to set up IA #1 to switch to Scene #2 and then IA #5 to switch to Scene #3 on the Ground Control Pro, how do I do that? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Sorry for the lame question...thanks.

    Heavy Patches - Mid Range

    I need a little help. I play in an 80's cover band and use a main heavy rhythm patch (Das Metal) with my PRS McCarty. Our band consists of one electric guitar, bass, drums and keys plays those cheesy 80's parts. The problem I'm having is that the keys take up a lot of the sonic territory and...

    Dialing in a Two Amp Combination

    I am trying to dial in a two amp combination but I don't quite know how to properly EQ each amp. I'm running a Diezel for a heavy rhythm sound but then trying to get increased definition/clarity with the Weasel amp set more on the edge of break up. What are your approaches to properly EQ both...

    Cocked Wah Sound

    Guys, what is the best way to get the cocked wah sound? I know people use a GEQ or PEQ to do it but what frequencies do you boost and cut? Any help would be appreciated...I used to have something in my old Standard but the patch didn't translate to my Axe II so I lost it. Thanks!

    Delay Modulation Effects Routing Question

    How do you set up a patch where you want to apply a phaser or flanger just to the repeats on a delay echo and not the main signal itself. It would be akin to having a delay pedal that had its own effects loop. Not sure how to do this...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Help with AutoEngage on Wah

    I have a Boss FV-500H that I have connected to pedal 1 of the back of the Ultra. I have the auto-engage on the external controller modifier set to fast. It works great when I begin to work the wah but it will not shut off...it won't disengage. Any thoughts on how to fix?

    Constructing Patches When Using a PowerAmp

    For those of you using the Axe with a poweramp and separate guitar cabinet, how do you place the effects blocks in the patch chain? Of course, you do not use a CAB block but is there anything special you need to do when placing the effects blocks after the AMP?

    Hooking Art SLA 2 with Axe FX

    How do you guys set up the Axe Fx with the Art SLA 2 particularly when the Axe Fx excels at stereo effects? This post assumes you are using a single cabinet. For example, is there a way to run the R and L output 1 of the Axe into the Art SLA2 and then the Art SLA2 into a single cabinet? Sorry...

    ART SLA and Speaker Cone Question

    I am getting the ART SLA2 to use with my Axe. I am going to have a 2x12 built for me with Weber speakers in it: a 50 watt Blue Dog and a 50 watt Silver Bell. For maximum flexibility with the Art, what OHM should I get the speakers and should they be wired in series or parallel? I looked this...

    Atomic and Mic-ing

    Do any of you guys who use an Atomic or Verve ever mic the speaker? What are the pros/cons of doing this if any? I am just curious as to how to properly using one of these devices with my Standard just in case going direct is not an option or the sound guy is opposed to it etc. Thanks so much.

    Art SLA and CAB Clarification Question

    To you guys that run the Axe into an Art SLA and then into a separate cab (1x12, 2x12 or 4x12), are you guys then mic-ing up that cab as your sound? Judging by all of the research here, the answer is yes but I just wanted to be clear. The other thing I have found, is that it seems like your...

    Clipping on High Gain Amp

    I am creating a Lead Solo patch where I set the level about 4 db higher than the other rhythm patches. For this I am using the New Recto model with the gain at about 5, master about 6 and the output level at -7.50 db, no compressor...the problem is that I am getting clipping and I want this...

    Orchestra Strings and Chord Tracking

    Standard user here with a question. What do I do so that I can get that shimmery orchestral thing going on in the back of my clean patches but that really tracks the chords I am playing well. I am still experimenting with the Multi Delay and the Pitch and am totally lost. Any help would be...

    NOOB: Output Setup

    I just got a Standard and I am so overwhelmingly impressed...this thing is unreal. I have begun the long process of tweaking and learning etc. I need a little help on the output though. The band I play in, I rarely, if ever, play in stereo...I just go direct into one channel on the PA and I...
