I got the same error message when I first uploaded the firmware.
The axe fx 2 went it self in Firmware update mode. Just hit Exit and update again
(In earlier days that was mandatory before updates, utility-->firmware-->Enter )
I was thinking meth, but whatever....didn't frames of mind and references to draw from.It would be more appropriate if you said "laboratory".
A "lab" is usually associated with places where things like the "lightbulb" or "nuclear fusion" are discovered. The "Axe-FX" is so much more important.
I'm digging the new II C+ a lot here!
I was just jamming for a few minutes and came up with a cool sound for a metal type riff crunch!
Tried this with an EMG equipped guitar which helps get the crunchies!

Let me know what you think!
thanks for the suggested settings..
have never played through an actual mesa before so was quite unfamiliar about the amp.
when i first tried your settings, i couldn't get the high gain tones i am hearing from others.
re-reading all the posts on the amp made me realize that the fat and brt switches needed to be engaged.
i turned them on and, voila, there is was...:encouragement:
so..is the IIC+ a petrucci's one?
I'm not sure that's been established.no... no word on that one... this is one is one Fractal bought.
Uhm... My question got buried after the rush of posts about the release of the Firmware, so I'll try again:Yes, yes, yes and yes. Pull Shift under the Bass knob is not modeled since it doesn't sound good. Pull Lead is the channel switch. Push it in for clean, pull out for lead. The clean channel is not modeled as it sounds the same as the Mark IV clean.
Mr. Chase, is the Presence knob on the back of the amp modelled?
If so, It's the taper accurate? Meaning 5 Presence on the real amp is 5 on the Axe-Fx II?
Thanks.
EDIT: I'm talking about the IIC+
Uhm... My question got buried after the rush of posts about the release of the Firmware, so I'll try again:
Just curious.
.
Accurate to which amp? The one modeled? Since the tapers can have a difference of 10-20% from amp to amp..
Is it just me or does the presence knob not do anything now on the new c+ model.
For me it works.Is it just me or does the presence knob not do anything now on the new c+ model.
I'm dumbfounded by the love of the IIC+. Back when they came, I had one, everyone complained about them, myself included. I couldn't wait to unload mine at a loss and nowadays it's revered.
Anywho, I like the preamp tube options, they're subtle, but sometimes just that little bit that was missing.
