You're post is in the FM3 forum...

You've got the bug... I searched and realized it's actually an FC firmware fix, not Axe Fx.

Get the latest FW here:

Make sure you get the version for your unit. I'm guessing you have the original and not mkII because I think this bug was fixed before the mkII was released.

In that case, you want 1.12.

Edit:

Here is the specific firmware where it was fixed:

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. Thank you for sending me the link to the FC download. I forget how to update the FC, is it through fractal bot?

No worries...

Yes, it should be via FractalBot, but check the instructions provided in the download.

also I just restarted the unit and the FC is already running 1.12

That is weird... Your Axe Fx FW is 26.00 so well beyond the required related FW.

And to confirm, you're calibrating the FC ports not the Axe Fx III ports, right? There are different options for the different ports.

@BryantP / @Admin M@ - any ideas?

I have the AF3 Turbo, and the 1st Gen FC-12.

On the main unit AF3, I go to SETUP, Pedals page, then calibrate

I would expect that when you do that, the "bar" doesn't move? Because that's for pedals connected directly to the Axe Fx, I believe.

Yes, this is what I'm working with. So far this has solved the issue. I'm sure it will sound correct now that the numbers are reflecting 100%...

Thank you so much.

I'm curious now, how does something like this get off calibration in the first place? Unplugging the FC12 while the AF3 is still on?

Thank you

It was a bug that prevented the full range from being recognized... I don't know the details behind it.

Glad it's sorted out now.
