Ever since I got my Axe Fx and MFC (second hand, from different sources) I've never been able to get the Ethercon setup to work - I always get "Axe Fx Name Timeout". Fractal Support have said it's the Axe Fx that needs repair.
I've just been using 7-pin MIDI with phantom power and haven't really thought much about it. I've been wondering recently though if I should send my Axe Fx away for repair so I can use Ethercon.
Is it worth it, or doesn't really make a difference? The only real benefit I can think of is being able to use phantom power without an adapter plugged in the back of the Axe Fx. Does Ethercon support longer cable lengths?
I'm in Australia and would have to send my unit interstate to get repaired. I'm guessing all up it would cost a few hundred bucks by the time I factor in shipping and bench time.
