Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

[Milchek]

I've moved away from the desktop setup and have a pretty basic setup with a matrix power amp into a Marshall now, digging it:



Unfortunately, the 1x12 sits alone now since I sold my Mark V 25 a while back after I got the Axe FX.

The guitar is @Burgs old OAF Jazzmonster 7 which has since been 'tweaked'

I changed the rack case to an OSP-SC10U for easier transport. Highly reccomend this instead of the SKB cases. Has casters and better protection. View attachment 58398

Can I ask you why or how you (still) use the THR10x while you have an AXE FX III?
Thanks!

Finally adding my rig to the thread.

Two custom ported Zilla 1x12 cabinets with Celestion F12-X200 speakers and matching 5U rack case.

I keep it up there to remind me how good the Fractal stuff is! Hahahahaha. Sometimes everything isn't hooked up to my Apollo X6 interface, so if I just want to practice for a few minutes it is good for that.

I present the rig...

Wow !!!!!!!

Not my home or stage rig, but I'm embarked on a fun project - figuring out how to fit a basic songwriting studio into my travel trailer. First step was dropping the dinette table into bed position to create a comfortable place to sprawl and play guitar. Currently using a small table to prototype but I'll build something more custom to hold the AFX3, computer and other stuff. Brought one side of my stereo CLR Neo rig this time and will probably continue just using one, but I found I could fit both if I wanted. Also figured out a good system for stowing guitar, bass, and electronics when traveling.

I have good solar on the trailer and discovered just how little power the AFX and CLR use at non-stage volume. Give me a sunny day and I can play all day and all night with no problem. This is the beginning of a really fun adventure...

I do this all the time. There just no room in the front of my 4U rack for the Axe III, my wireless, and the power distro.

Any thoughts about adding in a Matrix GT1000FX-1U and keeping that back lid on as well? I'm wondering if the fans in the power amp will pull what it needs or if I should let it breathe more at that point?

I'm not familiar with the airflow in Matrix power amps, but air has to flow both in and out. I'd be inclined to leave the back lid off.

I've been running both my previous Axe Fx II and current Axe Fx III rigs with the back rack lid on for about 5 years now. Neither the Matrix or Axe Fx has had any issues... It's not like the front of the rack is air tight, though - there is a small gap at the top and bottom.

Killer. Thanks!

Current rig: Kiessel 7 string Vader and 8 string Zeus into an axe III and Matrix GT1000FX, into 1x Mesa open back and 1x Mesa thiele cab pet side, all loaded with EVM 12L drivers, for 4 ohms per side.

The rig is controlled by 3x Morningstar MC6 peddles and 2x fractal EV1 controllers.

The fx loop is populated with EHX c9, Mel 9, key 9, and synth 9, with walrus audio deep6 compressor and boss waza sd1-w pedals, each in separate loops of 2 Morningstar ML5 loopers.
power comes from a furman P1810-AR power supply, into 2x walrus audio Aetos power supplies in the rack, and 1x walrus audio Phoenix power supply on the peddle board.

Updated the Rig with a Peterson Strobo Rack from my old Korg DTR-2000, I don't mind the internal Tuner i just prefer having a Rack Tuner personal preference only.

Couldn’t find a 5u, and didn’t like paying like $175 for a shallow 4u, so built my own shallow 5u....

just cheaply built (home use only) butt jointed, glued and screwed, 3/4” MDF, and $10 roll of Tolex applied with wood glue (works fine) and some $1 chrome corners.

About $25 all said and done and I’ve still got enough Tolex left over for another head cab or similar project.
