That's really too bad. I was hoping it would at least send CC, PC, and the expression pedals. I'd love to have something I can use as a basic controller for the Axe-Fx that would at least switch patches and scenes, and that I could then just unplug and take with me for practice/gigs where there are usually amps already available.It cannot function as a dedicated MIDI controller for the Axe-Fx. It will send basic MIDI commands but it is not intended to be a MIDI controller.
it still might. Cliff said it's not a dedicated controller to the Axe-Fx, which is different than sending basic MIDI messages.I was hoping it would at least send CC, PC, and the expression pedals.
It can do that but it can't do the two-way comms that the Axe-Fx II uses. It can operate as a BASIC midi controller but it's not nearly as capable as an MFC. If all you need is PC, CC and expression then, yes, it can do that.That's really too bad. I was hoping it would at least send CC, PC, and the expression pedals.

HIGHLY unlikely…If you use midi instead of relays for amp switching -- can relay 1 & 2 be reassigned as a loop for a stomp pedal?
Same question applies to two expression pedal jacks.
Thanks
Arn't relays based on a on/off state?can relay 1 & 2 be reassigned as a loop for a stomp pedal?
Huh? What a strange post. It's nothing to do with pride - the components are expensive and the units are expensive to make. There has to be a profit margin on each unit or there is no point is there? Fractal's percentage margins are already way lower than Line 6 or any other manufacturer you see in a retail store.Under $1000 is my guess too... in fact, I'd hope for a ridiculous price such as $699.99. But I doubt that low. I assume $999.99 would be more likely.
To all those I have seen suggest it will be $1700 or $1800, insanity.
I know it's important to some for Fractal products to remain "exclusive" to only "financially serious" guitar players. But to people like me, who can afford and do own Fractal products, my excitement for them is such that I would love to see those without such devoted pocketbooks a chance at dabbling in the same tonal playground many of us know so well.
If you really love Fractal, hope for it to expand into new demographics, don't let pride get in the way of sensibility.
What? No dedicated spider entry points...??
Yep you are right.Arn't relays based on a on/off state?
-Nate
Of course.Will it have auto engage capabilities for expression pedals?
Maybe not...a basic mono cable will work for the channel switching in the relay
Note that each relay jack is TRS so there are two relays per jack so you get four relay outputs.
Yes. You don't have to use TRS. With a mono cable obviously you'll only get one relay output.a basic mono cable will work for the channel switching in the relay
which one?I have a Blackstar Combo so I am trying to figure out how to channel switch with the FX8
I love you!.Note that each relay jack is TRS so there are two relays per jack so you get four relay outputs.
