Awesome Unit!

I had the FM9 prior to the Axe 3. The Axe really takes it to the next level. Love the unit.

Not sure what you want here.

1.The manual, big as it is, needs to be expanded. Many details are not covered, or need expansion. Searching through forums is a frustrating way of finding information. 2. The pitch follower seems only to follow single note pitches. Double stops, even when high pitch, reduce the signal.

Axe-FX 3 mk 2 turbo, holy smokes! Why did I wait?

I recently bought the Axe-fx after humming and hawing for over a year. I wish I had known then what I know now. I had originally bought a jp2c and 4x12 recto bottom...that was a waste of money, but didn't realize it until I finally bought the Axe-fx. This thing paired with frfr EVs has all mesa amp included! CS is friendly and awesome. Got my shipment out same day. I bought the master class axefx by and holy smokes, I didn't realize exactly what I bought. As an engineer I use solid works, this unit has the same thought and design put into it just like configurations in high end engineering 3d software. I couldn't be happier.

Feedback on Setlist Mode – Early Impressions

Hi Fractal Team,

Thank you for the invitation to share my feedback. I’ve only had the Axe-Fx III and FC-12 for a few days now, so it’s still early for a full review. That said, I already want to mention that the Setlist Mode feels unnecessarily complicated.

It's confusing to have to recreate song titles and scenes when they already exist in the unit. Why not simply allow users to create a setlist by adding existing presets or songs to it, without needing to rebuild everything from scratch?

Also, limiting us to only four setlists feels very restrictive—especially for live performers who play in multiple contexts. It would be much more efficient if we could create as many setlists as we want, add existing patches or songs to them, and simply choose which setlist to display on the FC-12, keeping the same structure already in place.

Again, thanks for all the amazing tools Fractal provides. I’m excited to keep exploring.

Best regards,

Alain Holloway
