Great vid just what I needed How many lines can the axe fx run For example is it possible to run vocal mic / acoustic guitar and bass simultaneously through the pa for rehearsal and gigs ??
Will depend m which model and how many effects etc you run the Axe 2 will have less cpu than the 3 so won't be able to run as many fx I've got a 3 and can easily run two guitars or two basses but a third might pull it up
Dude, thank you so much for making this video! Very helpful! You´ve got a great voice, one queation: Did u use a mic Pre before the axe or did you get directly into it ? hang on cheers
Hi David mine is running into my audio interface into 3 channels. Output 1 is guitar in stereo and output 2 is vocal (I'm only using a mono line for this) then I'm using my daw for playback (which is running into my headphones) tbh I've never tried to monitor from the axefx itself so would have to experiment to see how to achieve that)
@@LeighRatcliffe I monitor with the axe fx itself, and it sounds great. I have some Yamaha powered monitors communicating via XLR. Mega easy. I am going to try vocals out today because of your video!
@@champnessjack1154 the K2 comes with its own power supply and also lets you pick a polar pattern so with that particular mic you don't need a mic pre.
So in the Tone Match block under Config you can select the "Reference Source" You can either choose USB 1/2 and ran audio reference from your DAW and use your audio interface and my mic pre that way (This also allows you to use your plugins in your daw to further sculpt your sound if you choose to). Or you can choose "input 2" and plug the mic directly into the Input 2 XLR on the back of the unit. Hope that helps :)
Evan Davidson I'll look into doing that for you ...main thing would be is you would need to re do your tone print for your own guitar to get the full effect ;)
@@LeighRatcliffe hey thanx man!! no rush!! I am interested in how it would sound with your tone print ...but I'm sure better with my own...I tried to do a tone print the other day, but was unsuccessful...I was probably doing something wrong...cheers!!
@@stepitupandgo67 axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=8186 here's a link to the preset on Axe Exchange let me know if it works ok as this will be my first upload :)
amazing how well the tone matching works....
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised myself. Great to have this kind of tone live without having to use a microphone!
@@LeighRatcliffe axe fx 3...the worlds funnest toy/tool !!!
YOOO This is a great video man! Sometimes even out the vocals - but to be honest, the content is FANTASTIC!
Thanks legend ;)
I love how much fun you're having with this :) Thanks for making this video.
Thank you ;)

Nice video. Awesome.
Well done... Love the vocal parts...
Thank you ;)

I used a mix pre in this instance but you don’t have to :)
Great video mate! And a really cool application for using such a beast. 🤘
Cameron Johnson Audio thanks mate only touching the surface of what it can do too ;) crazy bit of kit !
Is the noise coming from the mic or the guitar?
From my camera setup nothing to do with the axefx etc apologies about that
Great video man!
Thanks man!!
great video thanks man
is this possible with Axe fx II ?
I believe it's possible but you may run out of processing power. Give it a try though and let me know ;)
How do you monitor the vocal mic? What is the routing? I can't hear my mic in the headphones.

Thanks legend :)
Great stuff bro. Does you mic go in a preamp first? Then axe 3?
Can do, but doesn't have to. Mine is into a pre amp ;) (RNP FMR Audio)
@@LeighRatcliffe Great video, thanks. But you do need the preamp, right - the K2 needs phantom power and the AXE-FX III doesn't provide it.
@@champnessjack1154 the K2 comes with its own power supply and also lets you pick a polar pattern so with that particular mic you don't need a mic pre.
Where is tue preset in axechange ?
@@mslizbittencourtt link is in the description legend ;)
Is that, by chance, a 1991 Jem 77fp hanging behind you?
Well spotted ;)
Do you go straight to the axe with the mic, or do you use an external preamp for this, since the axe has none built in?
So in the Tone Match block under Config you can select the "Reference Source" You can either choose USB 1/2 and ran audio reference from your DAW and use your audio interface and my mic pre that way (This also allows you to use your plugins in your daw to further sculpt your sound if you choose to). Or you can choose "input 2" and plug the mic directly into the Input 2 XLR on the back of the unit. Hope that helps :)
@@LeighRatcliffe Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna try both options for sure!
Bone Daddy anytime legend let me know how you go with it! I've also just uploaded the preset to axe exchange links in the description of the vid ;)
@@LeighRatcliffe Will do, thanks for sharing the preset aswell!
@@gerkirschbaum You're welcome :)
I had a guy tell me it was blasphemy to use the axe fx3 with vocals...he said "that's just not how it's done!!"....I was undeterred...
Evan Davidson if it sounds good then it doesn't matter how you are doing it ;)
You sing like Layne Stanley in "Nutshell".
@@Mordecai06 thanks legend huge compliment I have a AIC cover on my channel if you wanna check it out 😉
any chance of sharing your preset? very cool

@@stepitupandgo67 you're welcome ;) let me know how it goes ;)
IS THERE AUTO TUNE OR NAH!????
Your singing sounds great, but when you’re talking you sound like you’re in a cavern. That’s wild.
