    More Mic Preamp Routing Questions With the Axe FX 3

    I've got an Empirical Labs Mike-E on the way and plan on using it mainly as a preamp for microphones to get the level up/saturated/compressed a bit into my Axe III that I'm using as an audio interface. Recently I've been using a Rolls 48v power supply and a Soyuz launcher to get an SM7b into the...

    Fixed VU Meter in the Preamp tab within the Cab blocks doesn't work when all the cabs are panned to the right.

    This seems to have already been discussed but it wasn't marked as a possible bug. Old thread: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/cab-block-preamp-vu-meter-issue.191075/

    AFIII RedSeven D100 Pre with Axe FX III as power amp.

    Hey guys! After watching one of @2112 's videos on ideas for using the Fractal as a power amp, I made a preset and recorded this video. Really cool ways to use different sounds. First tones are using the Tube Pre in the amp block, but using the power amp emulation of fender amps. For the...

    Wish Preamp section for each IR slot (Dynacab)

    I would like to EQ each Dynacab mic position independently of each other, as if I were recording in a nice studio where each microphone has its own dedicated channel strip. The other preamp saturation functions might be nice too (esp on the dynamic mic choices), but I figure that could end up...

    Need help controlling GCX switcher from Axe-Fx III

    Hello, I have figured how to setup a CC transmit to the GCX when a scene is entered, but do not know how to set one up when leaving a scene. Example: when I go to a preset using an external preamp, I use the MIDI block in the scene 1 for the preset to send the cc (channel 16, 80, 255) to turn...

    Using AX8 for Effects only with amp head and pre-amp pedal

    Hello, I've recently purchased the Victory V4 The Countess Preamp pedal from a pawn shop and wanted to try and integrate it in my rig. I own a Quilter Toneblock 201 (it has a fx send and return). Ideally what I'd like to do is be able to use the clean channel of the quilter and the crunch/lead...

    Mic preamp for singing through Axe-Fx?

    Hi all, I want to add a mic preamp to my rig in order to put vocals through my Axe-Fx III. It would be nice to hear some recommendations or thoughts on the subject. My needs: - It's intended for rehearsal and some day also live use. No recording functions needed on the preamp. Vice versa that...

    Art Pro MPA II tube preamp with axe-fx II

    Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've written something in this forum, I've been really busy with school, work and lately configuring my new home studio. Maybe some of your remember me, I'm a 2012 mark 1 old timer, hehe. My question is about using the axe-fx II with external...

    Mesa Studio Preamp

    Picked up one of these recently. Recording outs sound excellent straight into my interface, main outs into my xl+ sound even better. Very cool units. Nice tonal variety with the axe FX.

    Tube Preamplifier suggestions

    I have an axe fx 2 xl plus that I love for recording. However I'd like to buy a tube preamplifier for direct recording potentially with IRs. The preamp will be going into a mackie 8 bus for eq or my metric halo. I should mention I like a really bright sparkly clean sound with my gretsch and am...

    Hooking up external preamp

    No “Axe fx doesn’t need it” answers please. I have a few questions I need some help with. I’ve searched the forums and I haven’t really found many clear answers (Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough). I’m still super new to connections and routing etc. 1. I used to record with this guy that had...

    Cab block Preamp defaults to none?

    Does this always default to none? How do you guys run yours? I'm not really finding much info on this. I'm using a Friedman Be VI with a 4x12 Fractal GB M160. Any advice on that one in particular?

    Preamp/Poweramp gain structure balance parameter with retained volume

    Hi, maybe someone already thought of this in an old thread, but would it be able to add a parameter that adjusts the balance between all elements of preamp gain such as Input drive etc. and power amp gain such as Master volume etc. Just a knob that when turned clockwise bumps the power amp...

    ADA MP-1 Style Preset

    I've done my best to match the sound of my original MP-1 with the AX8 with this preset, which leans towards the more metallic scooped sounds the unit is capable of. For a more authentic hair metal tone, try crank the mids a little more. Scene 1 and 2 are both based on the Tube distortion...

    Fender Bassbreaker 15 + AXE-FX

    Hi! I found very little posts regarding this topic. Does anyone have experience from running the Fender Bassbreaker 15W (or equivalent amp) silent recording Line Out (XLR) straight to AXE-FX2 and then simulating the power amp and cabinet with amp and cabinet blocks? The AXE-FX provides so much...

    EMG 81 internal preamp clipping

    As a follow up to a thread I saw today about EMG preamp clipping, I decided to test it out on my guitars at home. The internal preamp in the EMG 81 is absolutely, positively clipping like crazy. Both my guitars with 81s suffer the same problem. The clipping is so loud with my Dean ML...

    question about modeled preamps

    Hi, The preamps in the Axe-Fx II, like the CAE 3+ and the TriAxis, how were these modeled? Are they just the straight sound from the preamp itself (like a direct tone)? Or were they modeled with a power amp? Thanks!

    Using a pre-amp in the Effect Loop

    OK, so my rig used to be TriAxis (preamp) to TC G-Major (Effects Processor) to Mesa Boogie 2:100 (Power- Amp). This is all in one rack and is about 87 pounds. I purchased the AXE-FX to lighten the load and to explore other sounds. This is my problem, I want to add the TriAxis into the FX-Loop...

    Using a condenser mic with Ax8 (for acoustic guitar)

    So I have a wonderful Martin OM42, and yesterday I did my first gig with the OM42 through my Ax8 and to the PA. It sounded great. I used my on-board B-Band electret system for that. But, so far all my acoustic gigs are quite intimate, and I also have a DPA 4099g microphone that I can attach to...
