    So what I use today after selling my AF2 last year.....

    Hello my old fellow Fractalians long time no read.......as you know, I sold my AF2 Mk2 + MFC101 last summer. Bought a nice mountain bike instead so I can loose some weight. It has the same color as the AxeFx display ;-) Also put together my pedal board - yepp, it's true - I'm using a simple...

    Dear Fractalians As some of you know, I wasn't really happy with the sonic responce of a certain amp tone I truly love. In 2015 I begun to work on it myself, created a new classic and my favorite amp. So it was time to let it go - I sold my AxeFx II plus MFC101 plus all my cab packs and...

    Battery Change

    The unit only runs on battery when it's not used.....of corse, batteries have a limited life span but if you have your device since 2012 or so, I wouldn't really worry about it. If you're in europe, call G66, their support is outstanding and they will give you valid information asap! best of luck

    Deluxe reverb model drive/gain?

    if you wish a bit more headroom for a Deluxe Reverb - use it with a 4Ohm Speaker instead of a 8Ohm by design. This would lower the primary impedance of your OT by half. This is what I call a "safe mismatch". You'll have less mids, a bit more clarity in the low and the highs as on the matched...

    Deluxe reverb model drive/gain?

    Most players prefer the Vibrato (should be named into Tremolo, because that's what it is) channel because of the reverb effect. This channel has one extra gain stage too ;) The normal channel is not bad, but if you bought a Deluxe "Reverb" you want to use the "Reverb" wouldn't you? ;) There...
