  • Please note that the Behringer FCV100 Dual Mode Footcontroller is not an expression pedal and is not suitable for connecting to the pedal inputs of the Axe-Fx.

  • X2 XDR95 or X2 XDS-Plus
  • Line 6 Relay

Fan Upgrades

  • The ultimate in airflow to noise ratio, iXtrema Pro Quiet Fans are the only fans in the industry to be designed with silence and optimal airflow in mind: SilenX IXP-34-16 60mm Case Fan
  • The IXP-34-16 is rated at 16dB with 18CFM airflow while the stock fan is rated at 15.54 CFM
  • There are 12 and 8 dB models available, but they have lower airflow ratings.
