Hey Mark II/Original owners -
I
need a favor from just ONE of you who is comfortable with the below steps, as a volunteer?
This task will help me get the Mark II Dream Rigs update done quicker, possibly by next weekend... It's needed because I don't own a Axe-Fx Mark II any more (I just own an XL).
So... I can use FracTool to convert the updated XL Dream Rigs files over to the Mark II (which is how I did the original banks).
The tricky part is my reading/checking the FACTORY versus USER CABS.
Mark II's only have Factory Cabs to 132, whereas XL/XL+ have Factory cabs to 189. I make use of a fairly good number of Factory cabs over #132 in the XL version...and so I had to do substitutes for the Mark II version. About nine of the multiple XL's extra Factory cabs (Cliff did release publicly) are in user cab slots 0034-0042 and used, but some were not released and so I had to do substitutions.
My ask:
I need someone to run FracTool on their Mark II that has original the Dream Rigs banks loaded in Banks A, B and C -- Great Gigs, Fender & Boutique, and Modern Metal -- in that bank order -- as follows:
1. Back up your three existing banks in FractalBot, so you can restore after this process.
2. Load the original Mark II Dream Rigs Banks 1, 2, and 3 into your Axe-Fx Mark II"s Banks A, B and C slot. Use the banks form thew zip file you downloaded. Will be firmware 10.01, that's okay.
3. Open FracTool, connect to your Mark II, then select the CAB LIST tab at the top.
4. Then hit REFRESH button towards top right. FracTool will then poll your Axe-Fx Mark III for every preset and every cab used.
5. When it's done, it will open a dialogue box, asking you to name and save a .csv (spreadsheet) file of the results.
6. Please save that file (name it "Dream Rigs Mark II Cab List") and send the file email to me. Thanks!
You see, on my XL, the Bogner Clean is reading as Factory 152 (Fender 2X10) for the Mark II presets. But when you run it on your Mark II, it should point ot the User cab with the Shiva 160B in it -- User Cab 20. I am just looking to confirm all of these are correct in the batch I have before I start tweaking. Originally I had to substitute some cabs in the mark II that were not available there that XL had (Like the v60 I love for the Splawns). This will give me a good record.
This is what the delay is...and I'm out this week. But I have this Friday from you, then hopefully by next Sunday Sept. 8 we ill have the Banks 1,2 and 3 finished for the Mark II Dream Rigs - fingers crossed! But I need this tool to make sure everything is correct...
My email is
on my website here. (Can't type it out here, else Bots will spam me).
On my XL: you see this screen shot: This is from a Mark II Dream Rigs Bank 1 preset (XTC Clean) loaded into my XL. You can tell, because my XL has 189 Factory cabs (not 132), Axe-Edit is "seeing" the Cab has a Factory Cab 152 on my end -- whereas on your Mark II it should be reading "U0020 1x12 Shiver 160B" (132+20= 152). This is the issue I have.
So I'd rather eyeball a printer out list from a mark II to make sure everything is as it should be, than just do math and hope I'm right! Really appreciate this assistance!
