| + | The contents of this FAQ have been migrated to the soon-to-be-published Axe-Fx II Wiki. |
| − | | |
| − | This is a FAQ for the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx (AFXII) II. I copied content from forum messages by Fractal Audio, Fractal forum administrators/moderators and other experienced users (Matman, Javajunkie, Bakerman, Jay Mitchell, Scott Peterson, Don Petersen, Rex, GuitarDojo etc.) and added missing stuff.

| − | | |
| − | This FAQ is not officially supported by Fractal Audio.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: THIS FAQ IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
| |
| − | Only content from the forum is added for now. Bulk content will be migrated from the previous How-Tos and adjusted for the AFXII, after distribution of the Axe-Fx II has begun.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enjoy your Axe-Fx and have fun.

| |
| − | Cliff: "A Mesa 4x12 with my Carvin F1200 power amp. The patches were dry because I do A/B comparisons using an A/B box. I run the cab stereo and put the amp being modeled into one side and the Axe-Fx II into the other side. I run my guitar to the A/B box. One output to the amp and one to the Axe-Fx. Then I can quickly switch back and forth to verify the model is working properly." [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-52.html#post492536 Source]

| − | ==Do I need a MIDI interface to connect to a computer==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | No, USB suffices (MIDI-over-USB). The AFXII itself is an USB-to-MIDI adapter. MIDI connections can still be used and editing over MIDI is still possible.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Do I need an audio interface to record==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | No. The AFXII already contains the required circuitry to send a digital signal into the computer over USB. If you're monitoring from the AFXII itself there's no latency. When monitoring the signal from the computer, the latency is determined by the host computer.

| − | ==How does it use USB==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # The USB is Audio Class 2.0 compliant. On a Mac you don't need to install any drivers but you do need to install the firmware loader for the USB chip (it is a "soft" processor and downloads its code from the host on start-up). On a PC you also have to install the Audio Class 2.0 drivers. The driver supports ASIO, SRC, etc. etc. You can use the USB just for remote control via Axe-Edit if you want. You don't have to use the audio features. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-2.html#post490183 Source]

| |
| − | ==How do I use it for reamping==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The 3rd and 4th channels on the USB stream from AFXII to the computer contain the raw data from the Instrument Input. This can be mono or stereo. You record this. You then play this track back into the AFXII and set Input Source to USB. Then tweak until you get the sound you want. When you are happy, record the first two channels which are the processed audio. You can save the raw tracks if you want to go back later and reamp the track again.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The dry signal level is fixed, and for good reason. When you send that signal back in it is the same as the original signal sent to the grid. This means you don't have to adjust anything when reamping. You simply send the signal back.

| |
| − | ==What happens if Bypass is on==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After A/D conversion the signal is routed directly to the D/A converters. Inbetween there's no signal processing.
| |
| − | It's like a row of just shunts.

| |
| − | ==How do backup and restore work==

| − |
| |
| − | No.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Is it bad to switch the power off just like that==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Use the front panel knob to switch the unit on or off. Or disconnect the power. As often as you want, it doesn't hurt. Just remember to store your preset changes first, it saves all other changes automatically.

| − | The front panel input uses a proprietary circuit and dedicated A/D converter for low noise. Always use the front input for guitar, whether wired or wireless. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-24.html#post491050 Source]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The front input does not disable the rear input (different from Standard/Ultra). Use the menu to select either the front or the rear for Input 1. You can leave everything plugged in. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-22.html#post490982 Source]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The front input impedance is 1 Mohm, or less if Input Impdance is adjusted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All rear analog inputs are balanced like the onboard XLR outputs. The inputs detect whether the incoming signal is balanced or not.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Do not use speaker cable to connect to the 1/4" inputs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==How do I connect a wireless receiver==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The same way as with your guitar: to the front input, to take advantage of the front input's "special sauce" for noise reduction. The rear inputs (both 1 and 2) operate at line level, the front input operates at instrument level.

| − | Instead of knobs on the front panel, there are soft Input knobs in the I/O menu. The input levels are controlled via digitally-controlled potentiometer. These work globally, not per preset. The setting doesn't affect the input gain of the Amp and Drive blocks.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==How does it obtain unity gain==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The AFXII has digitally controlled potentiometers before and after the A/D and D/A converters. Therefore it knows what the input and output gains are. It compensates for these gains in the digital path. This allows "unity gain processing". If you set the Output Level knob to maximum you will get out what you put in (assuming the blocks have no gain). So if you were to make a preset with shunts from input to output and you put a 1V signal into the unit you would get 1V out.

| − |
| |
| − | ==How do the HumBuster outputs work==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The 1/4" outputs have a "remote ground sense" feature. You take a TRS cable and on one end you put a TRS plug and on the other end you put a regular TS plug. On the TS end you tie the ring conductor to ground. Plug the TRS end into the Axe-Fx II. The ground noise of the attached equipment is sensed and added to the output signal thereby cancelling the common-mode noise (hum). This is especially useful when doing the 4CM since that's when you usually get the worst ground loops.

Then use the X/Y knob on the front panel, or an IA switch (toggle) on a MIDI foot controller, to switch between the sets. This essentially doubles the number of those blocks within a preset. X and Y can be the same type of effect, say a RAT drive, but with different parameters. There's no transition between the two. Switching occurs at block level using a MID CC, not on preset level.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Yes. It's called G2 and Virtual Vaccuum Modeling modeling. See Fractal Audio website.
| |
| − | # A part of it has been ported to Standard/Ultra firmware (firmware 11).
| |
| − | # Cliff: "As you listen to clips from modelers what you start to recognize is a certain "stationary" aspect to the tone compared to the every-changing tonality of a tube amp. Another thing is finger response. With a good tube amp you can vary the tone quite a bit just by how you fret the note and attack it. Modelers tend to make every note sound the same. So I tested some hypotheses and came to the conclusion that it's because a real vacuum tube has a transfer function that is not static. The transfer function is dependent on time, frequency and amplitude. Where you really hear it is in the in-between regions where the tube is just starting to distort. At first I tried some dynamic transfer functions but that was a lesson in futility. So then I created the VVT stuff. In VVT there is an actual vacuum-tube replica in software. You enter the values of the resistors and capacitors on the grid, cathode, etc. and it behaves just like a tube complete with Miller effect, cathode memory, etc. The problem is that it requires an obscene amount of horsepower so the only solution was a dedicated DSP. The other big part of the G2 sound is the output transformer modeling. The OT distorts and as it distorts its inductance decreases which changes the bandwidth and loop characteristics."

Internally the unit applies the inverse of the trim so that the signal into the grid is constant. In other words, if you put 1V into the input the input to the grid is 1V regardless of the trim setting.

| − | # Quote Cliff: "My actual XTC has a Log10 pot for the treble which is an odd choice. Treble pots are usually linear and the Axe-Fx model uses a linear pot. The problem with a log-taper pot is that the treble does almost nothing for the first 50%. So you can't use your eyes if you want to copy the tone. This is the case with several of the amp models. In these cases the taper used on the real amp is what I would call "a less than optimum" choice. I think in many cases the designer simply doesn't realize the affect the taper has on the locus. So, if I deemed the choice of taper to be "incorrect" the model uses the correct taper. The Bogner models fall into this category. The choice of a Log10 pot for the treble pot doesn't make sense so the model uses a linear taper which gives a smooth locus"

| − | # Bogner: "One of the most unique items is our "Presence" control. It's an amazing combination of a midrange-presence control. As you sweep through its range you will notice an incredible variety of tones this one control allows. For an extremely aggressive sub-harmonic bass and scooped-midrange sound, keep the presence off or very low. A huge 3-dimensional tone can be found by running the presence around 2 o'clock. Pushing the "Presence" control to maximum will allow you to cut a sonic path through the mix by reinforcing your midrange and slightly rolling off the sub-bass. Trust us: REALLY check out the presence control to unleash the hidden secrets of the UBERSCHALL. The "Midrange" control is very interactive with all the other tone controls, you can go from a hollow scooped-mid setting to an aggressive in your face and on your throat kind of intensity. The "Bass" control allows almost a sub-harmonic low-end to be added, at high volumes be sure to keep the bass down a bit to keep your tone focused like a laser beam"

It's a wicked amp but not something I would recommend for anything but large gigs. If you like the SLO 100 model you might want to try the Recto models too. It's not widely known but the Rectifier preamp is a derivative of the SLO100. Some minor changes but the basic topology is identical"

The real world speakers of choice are EVM12L in a 1x12 rear ported and 2x12 with Celestion Classic Lead 80's. I found the 12L emulation did a pretty good job. Some of the others sounded so artificial with that model. Like a rockman. Coupled with the right cab the emulated model does a good job of representing the basic tonal signature of the amp". And: "It's not a competitive model, it's a live demo of an OD2 as tweaked by me. Damn sight better than sound clips for auditioning to guys that haven't got the ability to get to a Dealer. Clearly it doesn't give you the full experience of the full amp, but is a good tonal taster. I repaired a Soldano SLO for him one day and when he came over my house to pick it up we just decided it would be a good idea to put a CA model in there. Having the actual builder involved kind of closes the loop fully. I'm happy to endorse that model because I put a lot of hours testing it and putting together a ton of technical information, fourier analysis graphs, frequency response graphs, schematics etc that would make validation of a mathematical model much easier. In reality even though the power amp and the preamp are modelled the pre-amp got the most effort. As I said in another thread, I tuned that by putting the axe in to the actual power amp of an OD2 and running that side by side with a full OD2. The final tweaks were made like that using parametric eq blocks that were hard coded in to the model. You could call that the icing on the cake and basically put the same level of tuning in to the model as I do with a actual OD2. The only difference was I was using a GUI, not resistors and capacitors."

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cliff: "Depends on the cab. Certain cabs benefit more than others. I started out with 8192 but didn't hear any difference so couldn't justify wasting all that space and CPU. You can hear it with room mics but the room simulation sounds nearly identical. There are a couple reasons for 2048. Probably most important is that it allows 1024 in stereo mode. To be able to do stereo 1024 requires a 2048 convolution engine. Secondly, some IRs benefit from longer IRs. Better to have the ability and not need it than the converse."

| |

| |
| − | It's no use converting 1024-point IRs to 2048 since they don't contain the necessary data. You need a WAV-file to convert to 2048. A conversation utility is not yet available.

| − | * [http://www.ownhammer.com Ownhammer]
| |
| − | * [http://www.RedWirez.com RedWirez]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These companies create and sell high-quality IRs for Standard/Ultra as well as AFXII.
| |
| − | You can load these IRs into the user cab slots using Axe-Edit.
| |
| − | Some of their IRs are included with the AFXII as stock cabs.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Select a farfield cab type (not close-mic'd).
| |
| − | # Set the Mic Type to none, to keep tone colorizing by the mic away.
| |
| − | # Use the room simulation controls in the Cab block. These can be used with any IR. It's a special reverb algoritm.
| |

| |
| − | ==Why are two cab blocks louder than a single one==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bakerman: "It depends on how you're panning. Assuming a mono signal sent to cabs: Stereo cab w/ Pan L and Pan R fully left & right will be the same output level as 2 mono cabs w/ balance L & R. If pans/balances are centered the 2 mono cabs will be 6 dB louder. Balance elsewhere would be between 0 and 6 dB louder, and balance doesn't correspond 1:1 to pan L/R for the same placement. Balances will need to be further toward -50 or 50. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/ultra-zone/36412-stereo-cab-vs-two-mono-hires-cabs-question.html#post496528 Source]

| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the AFXII there are MIN and MAX values. These are the actual parameter values. For example, if you want to change the delay time from 500 ms to 700 ms, you simply set MIN to 500 ms and MAX to 700 ms. So 0% corresponds to 500 ms and 100% corresponds to 700 ms.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Use this to connect the MFC-101, instead of using a MIDI cable. It uses a regular CAT-5 network cable and a propietary protocol. This supports bidirectional communication and phantom power.
