Thanks very much yet again Yek.
Could I ask you what's almost certainly a stupid question: how to set up so your patches operate properly with my MFC?
I'm using two expression pedals and an external latching switch. In my own patches, I use the external switch to X/Y the amps. I don't like having a pedal volume control, so have set up expression pedal 1 to do wah into the second input on the MFC and expression pedal 2 to the 3rd MFC input to do rotary.

But I'm a bit confused about how to set up my system so all the controls in your patches work as they should. (I'm very impressed with how you set them up to be so controllable.) I don't for example have an on-off switch on my expression pedals - a Ball VP Jnr and a smaller obviously different Roland EV5 (so I don't get confused)....
Plus I still can't work out how to copy all your patches across via Axe Edit into my FXII - apart from dragging and dropping them individually. I use a Mac, and Axe Edit doesn't seem to allow all the variations of drag-n-drop that the handbook indicates are in the Windows version.
But serious thanks for your patches. Apart from having two EVM's, I've got the exact same set up as you (I wonder why?), and it really delivers. SO I'm really keen to start my personal tweaking with a fully-operating Yek set-up - especially controller-wise. Hope you don't patent it!!
Hey Hugo,
I'm running my MFC in Axe-Fx mode. Bank Size set to 10. So I have 10 presets at my direct disposal, and 5+2 IAs (Drive, Boost, Delay etc.) . Pressing Reveal gives me access to other IAs I occasionally use (modulation, etc.).
I have 3 dedicated X/Y switches: one for Amp, one for Delay, one for Phaser. I like the LEDs to be green at the beginning, so I use "Y" as the default state for these effects.
Pedal #1 is connected to XP1 on the MFC1 and is External 1.
This pedal has a switch (XS1 on the MFC which directly switches CC97 = Wah effect).
When "Off" (default) it controls the speed of rotary and tremolo, of course only audible when one of those effects is "On".
When "On" it switches on the Wah and controls the sweep. (it still controls the speed of rotary and tremolo but I never use them with Wah at the same time).
To adapt things to your rig:
- You're using the 2nd pedal input, which is External 1 by default. In the Wah block activate Auto-engage. That should work.
- To make your other pedal control Rotary, go to the Rotary block and connect it to the External you're using with your 2nd pedal. Same with Pan/Trem.
- To make your amps and cabs switch between X and Y simultaneously, goto Edit > MIDI > XS1 on the MFC, and set it to CC 100. Then on the Axe (I/O) set the CC for Cab X/Y also to 100.
To copy presets to your Axe, open Axe-Edit, open Axe-Manage, make it fullscreen (+), click View > New View > Bank A.
Click with right button on a spot in the right pane, select Get from Axe-Fx > This Bank. This syncs Axe-Edit with your Axe-Fx.
In the left pane, click on Computer and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded presets. Select the presets (use Shift to expand the selection) and drag the selection to the right pane. Be careful not to overwrite existing presets!
