    Started getting feedback issues out of nowhere

    I'm using the Axe Fx 3 (Purchased early 2020) with a Headrush 112 monitor and at my last band practice I started getting feedback that would happen after I hit a note and then mute the strings.

    Cubase sees Axe FX3 as output, but not as input?

    Hi, I've recorded with the Axe FX3 through Cubase before, but it suddenly stopped working a while ago. Cubase says theres no input connection, none to be found. It does see the Axe FX3 as an output device, and I can hear my guitar signal perfectly fine through the monitors. When I plug the...

    Does Any One Else Have This Problem?

    Gear: Axe FX 3 Input 1 isn’t feeding audio into my amp block, if I raise the volume an extreme amount before it hits the amp block then I can get audio but that’s only through massive amounts of compression and stacking noise gates, I know this isn’t a problem with my guitar itself because I’m...

    Input always clipping

    Hi there! Brand new to Fractal. However, I'm having issues with my new Axe Fx III. Its seems like no matter which cables I use or which instrument I use, the input is clipping.
