Hey everyone,
So, here's where I'm at with my issue. I'll start by saying I'm not even entirely sure this is an axe fx issue but, please stick with me here. Next, my signal chain is as follows. Guitar > Axe fx 2 Mk2 > NX3000 Behringer Poweramp > Mesa 2x12 cab. Now when I first set up my setup? I had no issues with output. The levels on my behringer poweramp were reacting as expected and I was getting proper volume. After a couple of uses I no longer was getting the expected output. Having every dial maxed out and having the output redlight on my axe fx I wasn't enough to get momre than one bar of output on my behringer whereas before I could get all 6/7 bars. I brought my behringer to their repair center to take a look at it because I figured it must have a shorted wire somewhere but, after they looked at it they said nothing was wrong with it. Now, i have my axe connected to the behringer using a regular quarter inch instrument cable and then from the behringer I'm using a speakon adapter that helps connect my mesa cab to the poweramps out put. Anyway, I used the axe fx's utility function to see if the axe was properly outputing and based on the feedback bars it is. I factory reset the axe fx to see if that would help and unfortunately nothing changed. I switched between both outputs on the axe fx to see if I could isolate the issue but both outputs respond the same. I've used plenty of different cables as well as different guitars. I'm at a loss at this point. Is it possible the axe fx has a shorted wire? Am I not using the speakon correctly? Or is there some other function on the axe that I'm not aware of? I've had this unit for about 8 months now (I have no idea how much more use it had although the previous owner said he barely used it). The axe fx sounds just fine using the headphones out as well as when I have it hooked up to my audio interface/studio speakers. Can anyone please give me any ideas as to what to do next? Thanks for hearing me out (unlike my poweramp) and sorry for the novel.
Cheers,
Tachy
