Try a new cable?My FC-12 has now frozen in the middle of a gig twice. Unplugged the cable and all went back to normal but this can't continue. Currently using firmware 3.x on Axe III...
Axe-Fx III firmware version 4.03 fixes an issue that would cause FC communications to cease after some length of run time. This problem is exacerbated by daisy chaining and/or heavy pedal use.My FC-12 has now frozen in the middle of a gig twice. Unplugged the cable and all went back to normal but this can't continue. Currently using firmware 3.x on Axe III...
Sorry this collided with the drive changes. Yes, you can always revert. Make sure to backup your presets and "System + Global Blocks + FC" before upgrading. If you revert you will need to restore from this backup.I'm not ready to update given drive pedal changes. However, because of this I may have to. Can you revert to earlier firmware if my preset sound changes are too drastic? (No time to retweak before next show).
Excellent!Thanks for your concern Bryant. I updated and had no drive pedal anomalies and no FC problems. Best of all I sounded tremendous!
I used my FC-6 first time at a gig last week.Excellent!
Can you recreate the scenario under which it froze? That's the fastest way to get to yes here.I used my FC-6 first time at a gig last week.
It froze after running for several hours a couple of times.
I was running an older FW (3.xx)
I am now on 5.7 - should I expect the new FW to have resolved the issue?

For every one post like this there's hundreds of silent users happily using FCs without issue. My FC6 has been rock solid for many, many months now. Unsubstantiated FUD.I’ve been super excited to get mine...actually my invite should come this week according to the wait list. But after reading this post and a few similar ones here, I just might stick with my trusty FC 1010.
You won't be contemplating using your 1010 again after you see what the FC12 does.Thanks and you are correct. Got my invite this morning and order is placed...super stoked to get it and integrate the FC with my 3!!
I bet you are 100% correct! Finally feel like i have the missing piece of the puzzle finally arriving! I loved the mfc with my axe 2...the fc looks even more intriguing!You won't be contemplating using your 1010 again after you see what the FC12 does.
You're right that there are far more people who are not having problems compared to those who are, but I don't think calling reports of the issue unsubstantiated is accurate. My FC-6 froze during a gig last Friday night (running FC firmware 1.06). A quick reboot of the FC fixed it. I suspect it had something the drunk dancer who may have disturbed my FASlink cable when he tripped over a monitor and came very close to knocking a PA speaker stand over. Nonetheless, a few people are indeed experiencing FC freezes, and discussions like this (which include the resolution) are helpful, not FUD.For every one post like this there's hundreds of silent users happily using FCs without issue.
