New to Axe-Fx III

Hello All, Brand new to this AXE world and I am having some trouble with getting over that first hill so to speak. I don’t have very much experience with amp modelers as I was mostly in the tube world but wished to expand my creativity as I love to tinker with parameters. My current tube amp...

After 11 years I'm finally becoming an Axe-Fx owner!

I just wanted to share my enthusiasm of joining this community with you all. For 11 years I've wanted to get one of these, but I was never in a position to afford the purchase. Yesterday, that all changed! I'm eagerly awaiting-what could be-the greatest mail delivery I've ever experienced...

After all of these years, finally--I've bit the bullet and jumped on board the Fractal train..

I'm really excited. I took advantage of the lower cost that I've been seeing over the past month or so, and said to myself, If I'm going to get in, now is the time. I've been thinking of ways to sell pedals/gear for an Axe FX, and it really didn't matter to me which one. Now, I've never even...

New User. Please Tell me what I am doing wrong...

Hi, I just received my Axe FX III yesterday. I've watched a couple of tone tutorial videos, and have been trying to create a modern metal/progressive metal sound. I've noticed my tone sounds very cardboard-y. I'm not sure if I'm just missing how to dial in the unit or if something is amiss...

Help! No bass :(

Heyo! This is my first post on here, so hello y'all! I got my Axe FX 2 Mark 2 now a year ago and I use to replace my Diezel Herbert by running into a poweramp and then into a guitar-cab, because I don't want to lose the feeling of a real amp, but have all the routing options as well as 2 amps...

Hey all! I know this question is probably really annoying to a lot of you, or super simple, but being someone who never really dabbled in the world of amp modelers I need some advice. Basically I'm gonna be getting an Axe Fx in the next few months, and I want to know... Do I need a power amp? If...

Rate my first lead preset?

Just got my Axe FX II in the mail yesterday and loving it. I think i'm on the right track to creating decent presets, but I was wondering if I could get some feedback from more experienced users? My band plays hard rock and I was going for a "soaring" lead tone. Any and all feedback is welcome...

Spent about 4 hours with an XL, absolutely blown away

...that I didn't buy an Axe FX years ago. My god, the JCM 800 amp alone had me occupied for like 40 minutes. Every single time I switched to a new preset in the first 20 or so it was like auditioning a new physical amp. And since I've never gotten to play several of them it was just pure joy. I...
