Volume dips by itself?

[RockerAlex]

I've had this happen a few times now and thought nothing of it, now I'm beginning to think it's a serious problem ...

Sometimes I'll be jamming away on the Axe (through the gear in my sig) and the volume will "half" and stay like that unless I change patch or turn the Axe off and on again. I'm currently still on firmware 9.02 and have nothing else plugged into the Axe except aforementioned gear.

Anybody else came across this problem?

Have you tried it through the headphones I would think if the volume don't drop in the HeadPhones than its in the poweramp

I've never really played through the headphone jack before, I'll have to sit with it tonight and see.

Nobody else experienced this?

It started happening to me after I updated to v10 I finally got v10.02 to load last night so I will see if it still happens.

 

[boardwlk17]

Check the sticky at the top of the axe II discussion.

Still happening the volume drops and it loses all the punch as well

Would really love to get to the bottom of this ... I've checked the obvious things like faulty cables etc. All that's left is power outlets and I have really no way of checking if they are "faulty" or not ...

Also happens without FCB connected?
USB connected?
Axe-Edit running?

When it happens, check the grid to see if anything has changed.

At the time, nothing else was connected.

I think you might be experiencing something similar I've experienced before. I sent it in and they said my 'parameter' was set wrong and thought it was resolved by resetting everything but it stills happens sometimes for me. Which kills me to think if it happens during a gig. Volume just cuts off for me... way more than half, almost non hearable.

Hope yours get fixed!

Sure that the CC for bypass is not sent accidentally?
To prevent this, set the Bypass CC in I/O to None.

It happened to me also a couple of times. No foot controller just USB connected to AXE-EDIT

I've seen the same thing. It seems to vary by preset. Messing with patches I had previously leveled, I had to dial a couple of them way up to match the rest (example: Amp block level at +5 dB, when I usually run around -10). Later, those patches are screaming, and I have to dial them back down.

I'll have a look tomorrow. Honestly is there a way to just reset everything back and start again?

I had the same issue, in my case relinking all the global blocks did it.

I'm glad it worked for you. I'm not using globals, so that's not a fix for me.

This happens to me on occasion and sometimes I can get it to come back up by choosing another preset and then back to the desired preset. Sometimes even that doesn't work and I have to shut the Axe II off and then on again. I was thinking it might be something hanging on my MFC-101. I'm gearing up to rebuild all my presets and assign them to different preset #'s to see if that cleans it up.
