Official Axe-Fx Q&A thread!

[axxessdenied]

Do you mean a Y cable (single TRS to two TS tips)?

EDIT: If so, check these out...

Pro Co PARKER20 Magnetic/Piezo Guitar Y-Cable - 20' | Sweetwater.com

... or you can also find "Stereo Y Cable/Splitter for X-Bridge and T-Bridge Pickups" cables on ebay all the time. That's what I use.

Nope. Read the humbuster section in the axe fx 2 manual and you will see what I'm talking about.

Hey guys, i recently bought an axe fx 2 and i cant seem to set it as an input for reaper. i installed the driver, and it works in axe edit, but when i go to preferences to select an interface the axe fx isnt there.

also it shows up in midi devices, and i selected (allow input) in that menu. i really want to use the axe as an interface but idk what to do. thanks!

Just to let you guys know I found that Canada Computers | Computers, Computer Parts, Laptops, Hard Drives, PC Hardware & Accessories Sales sells TRS to TS unbalanced or balanced cables! Picked a couple unbalanced cables up we'll see what happens. I wanted to get a TRS to dual mono split as well so I could turn my volume pedal into an expression pedal but I guess I gotta hit the music store for one of those haha!

They suck I'm returning them lol.

My rig is quiet except when within proximity of my PC. Oh well...

Mfc-101 has no wait list ATM if anyone wants one. I ordered mine Friday night

 

[Andromalia]

Anyone have tips for a quick and easy reggae tone ? I'm in need of that and don't have a clue where to begin XD

 

[Kristianx510]

Can anyone help me with setting up my Axe FX Ultra and a Ground Control Pro.

 

[rifftrauma]

Just wondering if anyone had received there Axe-FX II XL's yet, haven't seen any posts and am curious as to shipping/wait times?

Just got my hands on an immaculate Matrix GT1000FX for £365 used. I rule at finding good deals!

It's the 2U, I would have preferred the 1U but for practically half off RRP I shan't be complaining...

 

[Genome]

I've also just ordered a Zilla cab to go with it.

Made a video on how to use 2 amps to get a good rhythm tone if anyone is interested.

Just wondering if anyone had received there Axe-FX II XL's yet, haven't seen any posts and am curious as to shipping/wait times?

I believe Cliff made a post earlier this week that the XL's should start shipping end of this week or early next week?

I threw together a couple of quick riffs last night on the Brootalz, it's perfect for big palm mutes. To me, it actually sounds like a Mesa but with all their annoying quirks taken out. I love it!

Has anyone played with a rocktron velocity and axe fx?

I'd like to hear how you went if you have. Been offered one in a trade.
I'm currently using a matrix power amp module fitted into my 2x12, but this has got my attention as a potentially good backup unit.

hi guys, been registered here for quite a while but I never posted before, so...

Fremen's guitar blog: Fremen's high gain "starting pack" bank

I'm sharing a bank for hi gainers here. I will update it to V14 firmware soon, with the new amp models and the updated rectos. I already updated the bank but I want to test the second set of presets, those who use stock cabs, with other third party cabs (Ownhammer etc.) first

 

[Shask]

I will have to check these out Freman! I remember checking out your stuff back on ver 10 or 11. Lots of cool weird stuff in there, like the synth presets. I dont use much control, so I cant use a lot of it as-is, but a lot of cool ideas on how to do things in there.

 

[Shask]

With Teh Brootalz I am finding I am having better luck with keeping the boost on, and lowering the input gain. With CF Comp turned up some, I seem to get the clearest, most balanced tone for a detuned 7-string. Without CF Comp it seems like the low G note gets lots because it is not as loud as the other strings.

 

[theo]

Good to see you here fremen, Your stuff helped me so much when I was fresh to the fractal realm.

 

[fremen]

You're welcome guys ! Let me add that the new amp models are terrific, and the new versions of the Rectos too. At first I had to struggle with them (old habits), but then I understood the importance of the presence knob

New blog post :
Fremen's guitar blog: A big thanks and some news
No preset to share this time but I will upload something soon

I like how many more of the irritating idiosyncrasies of the Rectifiers I'm experience in the models now.

This update hasn't changed my life but I'm a lifelong Recto fan, every time I get a little closer to the feel of a Rectifier the more I enjoy my unit.

I wish they'd do the Roadster, Channel 4 particularly, but hey I'm far from complaining.
