    Volume and wah

    Hi, I just got the Axe-Fx III Mark II and have been trying to set up an expression pedal. I've searched everywhere for a solution, but either I haven't found the right answer, or the explanations were over my head. Currently, the expression pedal is engaging both the wah and the volume. My...

    2 envelope follower settings on one wah block?

    Hey all, pretty new to the fractal world here. Wondering if it's possible to have a Wah block with 2 enveloper follower settings on different channels? For example to have one enveloper follower that's "tighter" and one that's "looser" on one block that I can switch between. thanks!

    Using Wah to Change a Preset

    Is there a way to program an expression pedal (running through an FC-12) to change a preset when engaged? As an example, I have a separate preset for solos for most songs and would like for those presets to automatically engage when I step on my wah for a few songs. Is this possible?

    How good of quality are Axe-FX III's wah pedals compared to real wahs?

    I've never used a real wah pedal before, so I wanted to know how the wah blocks in Axe-FX III compare to the real wah in terms of sound quality.

    Can you achieve an 'auto wah' without having an expression pedal?

    Hi Guys, As the title suggests, I'm curious to know two things.. 1, is there such thing as having an auto wah block but without actually having an expression pedal? Will it work the same way? It doesn't need to be like Kirk Hammet or Jimi-like, just a simple wah effect. 2, if so, how...

    Wah - Auto turn off when expression pedal not moving

    I used to have an axe-fx ultra and one thing I really loved on it is that I could set the wah to automatically turn off when I wasn't moving the expression pedal.
