Hi there hope everyones staying safe out there!
I'm having a few issues with my Axe fx 2 mk1 ares 2.0. Going direct via USB (with thunderbolt 3 hub) into MacBook Pro 2018 2.2g 6core i716gb ram Logic pro x monitoring through the headphone output on the axe fx
I just bought this unit off ebay after a ton of research, and although I really don't want to I am able to return it if need be, before I do I want to make sure I'm not just making a stupid mistake or missing something simple
I've tried to factory reset everything multiple times based on the wiki instructions but the presets just do not sound right. I owned an axe fx ultra about 10 years ago and don't remember having this many problems
1) the first 49 presets have a rotary and enormous reverb automatically active (bug?) the reverb seems too big for anyone to want to use and the cpu usage for all this is pushing 80%
2) More than half of the presets are digitally clipping and I'd have to go into each preset amp to adjust the amp level (not the end of the world I know, but I don't think fractal would have the unit ship from the factory with all these issues to correct before you even get a chance to play
3) the recording volume going into logic is super low no matter what setting I crank in the axe fx
4) several of the presets have delays that go on forever causing gnarly feedback
Ive seen a few videos and read a bit about the clipping and how to fix it. I totally understand if I make a preset that clips I just can't believe it would do so after factory resretting everything. I found a few links to the wiki that seemed promising but the links are no longer active :'(
.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated if I can get it to a truly factory reset I think I get figure it out from there!
