    Quick FM3 effects question-

    I just pulled the trigger on a FM3 for the home studio so I can keep my Axe II rack in the band studio (I dont love hauling kit in and out each week) and I had a question about the unit- 1- I know the Amp models are improved over the Axe II, but are the effects quality essentially the same or...

    Something rattling around inside my MFC...

    When ever I pick up my MFC, I can hear something moving around inside- sounds like a nut or small bolt or something- is it safe to open up and take a peek? I hate that I hear it everytime...what do you say? I just don't want to take it apart and ruin it...... Please advise-

    Do we have concrete details about this box?

    Does anyone have a spec sheet on this bad boy? I haven't been around in a while, and all of a sudden I see a quick video of this thing- Looks right up my alley even though Ive been playing with the II and an MFC for a couple years.... If anyone can point to some details- I don't need dual amps...

    Mark V with Amp Gizmo and Fractal AXE II w/ MFC 101

    IS anyone running this set up? I was just curious how the connectivity between the MFC/AXE/Gizmo works...can you use a CAT5 from AXE II to MFC, then 5 Pin Midi from MFC to Gizmo without issues? Thanks in advance-

    "Waiting for tuner"

    Ok- all I want is to engage the tuner via IA switch. All I get is the "waiting for tuner" message. Midi settings are as necessary in I/O menu. Getting frustrated. If I touch the tuner button on the axe, it will display on the MFC. But I want it to display when I hit the freaking switch...

    Looking for the most compact Axe Rig- rack, board etc...

    I was wondering if any of you can post a pic of the most compact rack/case/bag option for your axe as well as the pedalboard/controller with the smallest footprint yet most functionality. I am taking up too much real estate on some of the smaller stage venues we play. Thanks-

    Scenes question-

    Is there a way to set up each patch so it has only the number of scenes you require for a particular patch (completely removing any scenes that are not being utilized...)? It seems with how powerful the Axe is, something like this would be quite simple....

    Humbuster 1/4" out question...

    The axe II is equipped with "remote ground sense" feature on 1/4" outs-do these cables need to be custom made, or could one use a common mono to trs with adapters and experience the desired cancellation of common mode noise? Thanks in advance-

    Drive blocks through real amp= blown away!

    Recently got a Mark V head and a 112 Mesa C90 cab. The dirty channels do not need any help getting into searing gain land- The Mark V is a BEAST in this area. So I was experimenting with drives in front of channel 1 in 4cm, and am floored with how natural and flexible they are. TS, fuzz, ods...

    Levels, levels, levels

    I am wondering if there is a "blueprint" indicating a "checklist" of individual level parameters to examine when making connections with the axe to different recording and live connection environments...both in the I/O System locations as well as individual effect blocks. Just a troubleshooting...

    Fractal in 4cm with tube amp demos anywhere

    Looking for any YouTube vids featuring the axe as a effect generator with a traditional amp- can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Is there any point in buying a traditional amp after owning a II.

    Like many of you, I have a gear problem/addiction/habit/need to know....and to be honest- the axe has really kept the GAS at bay for several years. But I have an opportunity to land a Mark V head and 112 cab for a pretty ridiculous price, and I love that amp. Actually, there is a collection of...

    FCB "volume" control problem

    Rack "bag" ?

    I was wondering if anyone uses a "rack bag" style case for their AXE in place of a more traditional rack case? I need to get a case, and my instincts are always 3/8" ATA style, but a rack "bag" looks attractive for portability- just wondering how durable one is? Thanks in advance....

    Berhinger FCB1010 and Eureka PROM...

    I have an AXE II en route, and I need a MIDI controller- I had a FCB with UnO when I had an Ultra, and that worked pretty well- I was wondering if anyone has the EUREKA PROM loaded and using it with the AXE II? Id love a higher end controller, but it isnt in the budget with an AXE just yet-...

    Mission SP2 w/ MFC 101??

    Hey all- I was wondering if anybody is using an SP2 with the MFC? Am I correct in thinking this pedal could activate both a wah as well as an additional effect (pitch bend, uni-vibe, etc...)? How does it work for you?

    inexpensive self-monitoring solution...

    wah questions answered....

    Yep- finally got the wah block properly communicating with the expression pedal on the GT8. Just like the rest of the AXE, it is simply ridiculous.

It doesnt sound like a real (traditional) wah when I try to make it work- but I know...

    How do I disable the wah from internal controller?

    May be a real easy answer- but I cant figure it out- how do you "unassign" the wah from being swept by an internal contoller so a pedal (ex. preset "power wah")? Thanks for your patience with the new guy....

    Unlearn? Please help the MIDI noob...

    OK- so I hook up my GT8 to "control" the AXE- switches patches out of the gate no issues. Now I wanted the volume pedal to be active, as well as possibly activate the Wah with the expression pedal switch engaged... SO, I am messing around in the I/O menu, on the control page, and I see "volume...

    ULTRA arrived wednesday night, and I have demo'ed the presets, done a little amp and effects switching within the presets, and I am really impressed. so far, I think everyone was right- this unit is a new standard in modeling.
