These are the best videos ever. Man what power in this unit! Scenes is the way to go for me, and that means less stomping! Genius! It just keeps getting more and more pro every day. Fractal is also addressing minor bug fixes at the fastest rate I've ever seen a company put out firmware changes. It's like watching evolution on fast forward!
Pretty much put off buying an MFC for years now because it really didn't do enough 'more' stuff than my good old foot controller did...until now. This really puts everything together. Looks like I know what Santa's getting me for Christmas. And nice job as always Cooper.
Very nice work mate. I'm very impressed. Could you share your patches in Axe Change? If you already do, what is your user name so that we could check them out. Thank you.
Thanks this saved me today just got these working thanks to this video and some help from Mark Day over at Tone Merchants... way to go well explained.. Fast too the point and I actually got things working bravo... Keep them coming these help the fractaly challenged. Im not only a member Im the president.
Very nicely explained and very nicely played as well as always .. thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I just got my axe fx II mark II and it's awesome and a little bit overwhelming (in a good way) :) thanks and have a good one //Kenneth
According to the designer Cliff, the only difference (between Axe FX II, and mk II) is the ethernet connectors of the back of the Axe and on the MFC have been beefed up to prevent breaking.
You should check the blocks in the patch. I also downloaded a patch and found a block was waiting for input from an expression pedal for volume. I don't have an expression pedal, so no volume was ever applied, hence no sound. Bypassed the block, and away we go.
Cool man! Thanks! I posted your video on the shredknowledge forum as well. This is a site that I am a part of as well. We would love it if you become a member on the forum as well and contribute everything guitar related.
How do you switch programs when your in scenes, can you only use 2 amps or in your x,y can you have 2 amps in x and 2 in y or just x is amp1 and y is amp 2. Thanks your lessions are very helpfull for my old self thanks again
I'm fairly new with AF2/Mfc. Just followed this tutorial so I now understand the scenes concept somewhat. Problem I'm having is I downloaded the Metropolis.syx but I have no sound? Is your preset setup for rear input? (I'm using front in for Mag and rear input 1 Right for my piezo)
Can you tell me if there is any real difference between the Axe FX 2 and the Axe FX Mark 2? Is the Mark II worth the extra price and also can the MFC be used with either?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Scenes are so powerful - it's my default now for patch management. Is there a way to enable Scene model automatically when AXE FX is booted up together with the MFC101?
Hey man awesome tutorial dude. Really amazing feature. I do have one question though,if let's say I need to use all 8 scenes can i assign them to them other buttons besides the first 5. Like any other buttons or just specific ones besides the first 5?
+mark aggio Just go to Office Max or order sticker paper online -- use Photoshop or similar program, print them out -- stick them on. BTW, he spelled "Tremolo" wrong -- unless it's supposed to be "Tremelo" ? lol.
i assume its ok to run the unit into the front of a mesa boogie dual rec,left mono out/right into a marshall tsl 100 as long as theyre set to clean,do ya agree cooper?
I would love to see the ability to name scenes even if it was just a few characters. Does anyone have any tips on how to keep their scenes organized? I would hate to land on the wrong scene mid-song. Do I have to rebuild my presets for each scene or is their a way to import presets in to a scene?
Hey Cooper, when using a preset and switch from scene 3 to scene 5 there is a gap. How can I ditch the gap, cause it's awefull in the song I play. Regards Leon
Thanks for doing this. Can the "Scenes" be named - i.e. can you change the text that comes up on the MFC from SCENE1, SCENE2, etc. to LEAD, RHYTHM, etc?
hi there ok, i am trying to setup the scenes on my axe fx. i am having a problem with the output level. lets say scene 1- i have distortion rhythm and all the effects are bypass. and the scene 5- lead. and the time i switch scene 5, the volume level gets down.. do you have any idea why is that. thank you.
Hi Cooper, great playing and video. Question, I just picked up an Axe Fx 2, 1st gen and was going to get an MFC-101. Does the silent button on the Mark 3 really make a difference? I have an opportunity to pick up a Mark 2 cheap, and seeing as how you cant really get anything direct from Fractal without getting on a long ass waiting list, I need to get a switch ASAP. Appreciate your input. Thanks!
Hey man- love the Metropolis preset and the different scenes. I uploaded them to my Axe II last night and I get no sound out of any of the patches. The cab and amp blocks were all grey'd out in Axe Edit (I know I shouldn't be using it) - any clue what is wrong and what I can do to fix this? Would love to rock out with these patches. Thanks man!
+infoowetrust Yes, just plug in a USB and you can edit everything in real time from your computer via Axe-Edit. Look it up on Fractal's website. Very convenient!
chorus makes everything sound so 80s
Thanks to you and some of the fractal FB group members, I got what I needed done with my unit. Thanks for posting this
So a preset is like the movie, and a scene is part of the movie! With no fucking gaps in the movie! Love it!

Your videos are getting me over the line to buy an AXE 2. Its killer man, great work!
Pretty much put off buying an MFC for years now because it really didn't do enough 'more' stuff than my good old foot controller did...until now. This really puts everything together.
Looks like I know what Santa's getting me for Christmas.
And nice job as always Cooper.
Yes. From Vafam Sound. They've made a ton of Axe-Fx panels. Check em out.
thanks cooper for giving meaning to all my buttons
Very nice work mate. I'm very impressed. Could you share your patches in Axe Change? If you already do, what is your user name so that we could check them out.
Thank you.
This is a fantastic addition to an already mind-blowing unit. Thanks for the explanation/demo, Cooper!
Great video please do more. I have been looking for more videos on building complex presets in the Axe 2. Thanks!
Fantastic job, CC! I really couldn't comprehend the whole "scenes" thing until now. Much appreciated!
Thanks this saved me today just got these working thanks to this video and some help from Mark Day over at Tone Merchants... way to go well explained..
Fast too the point and I actually got things working bravo...
Keep them coming these help the fractaly challenged.
Im not only a member Im the president.
This is the most awesome guitar equipment ever made!
I'm late to the party but this was a blessing. Thanks for the explanation!
Freaking best way I've ever seen to show this feature. Thumbs way up Cooper!!
Very nicely explained and very nicely played as well as always .. thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I just got my axe fx II mark II and it's awesome and a little bit overwhelming (in a good way) :) thanks and have a good one //Kenneth
According to the designer Cliff, the only difference (between Axe FX II, and mk II) is the ethernet connectors of the back of the Axe and on the MFC have been beefed up to prevent breaking.
it was record direct to pc or you use real amp?
Hey Cooper,
Really great job! Very well explained!
You should check the blocks in the patch. I also downloaded a patch and found a block was waiting for input from an expression pedal for volume. I don't have an expression pedal, so no volume was ever applied, hence no sound. Bypassed the block, and away we go.
you can assign them to any button you want
Can you post your "FenderRigCln" preset up for download? It really sounds amazing man!!
Will this floorboard AND scene idea work with the original Axe FX 1 ????
Cool man! Thanks! I posted your video on the shredknowledge forum as well. This is a site that I am a part of as well. We would love it if you become a member on the forum as well and contribute everything guitar related.

thank you very much
great job Cooper!
how you have it set up is cool so how would you go from. the scenes to change programs like from 020 to 021,022 ect?
Great demo. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Is the rack unit below the Axe just a patchbay for stuff on the back of the axe?
So, scenes is basically like a 'sub-folder' in the presets. It does the same thing but has gap-less switching?
Ooh, lovely. What amp and drive you use in 7:58, scene 4? Nice squeaky strat lead.
Great vid and nice playing as well!
I gotta ask, where'd you get the patch bay in the bottom of the rack?
I'm fairly new with AF2/Mfc. Just followed this tutorial so I now understand the scenes concept somewhat.
Problem I'm having is I downloaded the Metropolis.syx but I have no sound?
Is your preset setup for rear input? (I'm using front in for Mag and rear input 1 Right for my piezo)
Is that the single coiled strat we hear?
Can you tell me if there is any real difference between the Axe FX 2 and the Axe FX Mark 2? Is the Mark II worth the extra price and also can the MFC be used with either?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
what type of cabs are you using in the preset? I suppose they're not Axe-Fx built in ones.
Thanks Cooper for doing these vids!
I downloaded this patch off axe change and can't get any volume? everything seems to look ok...any help would be appreciated coz these sound awesome!
Scenes are so powerful - it's my default now for patch management. Is there a way to enable Scene model automatically when AXE FX is booted up together with the MFC101?
how about now
Thanks Cooper! Helped a TON!
I know you have been asked this before but could you please share the fender rig from this video on the axe change website?
Hey man awesome tutorial dude. Really amazing feature. I do have one question though,if let's say I need to use all 8 scenes can i assign them to them other buttons besides the first 5. Like any other buttons or just specific ones besides the first 5?
Very very helpful. Thanks very much!
How did you make the pedal stickers
+mark aggio
Just go to Office Max or order sticker paper online -- use Photoshop or similar program, print them out -- stick them on. BTW, he spelled "Tremolo" wrong -- unless it's supposed to be "Tremelo" ? lol.
Since you have all your effects for one band in one preset and 5 scenes, is it possible to quickly change to another preset?
Great job...
i assume its ok to run the unit into the front of a mesa boogie dual rec,left mono out/right into a marshall tsl 100 as long as theyre set to clean,do ya agree cooper?
I would love to see the ability to name scenes even if it was just a few characters. Does anyone have any tips on how to keep their scenes organized? I would hate to land on the wrong scene mid-song.
Do I have to rebuild my presets for each scene or is their a way to import presets in to a scene?
Does anyone know how to use modifiers? Say I wanted to add a pedal, how would I hook it up and program it to the axevfx2 xl+
I recommend checking out the pedal quick start section of the manual.
@@coopercarter I bought it used, no manual
@@jamespierce9714 they don't ship with manuals. You can download it from FractalAudio.com
@@coopercarter awesome, thank you
Thanks for the tutorial brother. helped me a shitload!!
Hey Cooper, when using a preset and switch from scene 3 to scene 5 there is a gap. How can I ditch the gap, cause it's awefull in the song I play. Regards Leon
Thanks for doing this. Can the "Scenes" be named - i.e. can you change the text that comes up on the MFC from SCENE1, SCENE2, etc. to LEAD, RHYTHM, etc?
hi there
ok, i am trying to setup the scenes on my axe fx. i am having a problem with the output level.
lets say scene 1- i have distortion rhythm and all the effects are bypass.
and the scene 5- lead. and the time i switch scene 5, the volume level gets down..
do you have any idea why is that.
thank you.
Hi Cooper, great playing and video. Question, I just picked up an Axe Fx 2, 1st gen and was going to get an MFC-101. Does the silent button on the Mark 3 really make a difference? I have an opportunity to pick up a Mark 2 cheap, and seeing as how you cant really get anything direct from Fractal without getting on a long ass waiting list, I need to get a switch ASAP. Appreciate your input. Thanks!
but you have to have the MFC 101 this won't work with any midi pedal like the FCB-1010, midi-buddy, etc.
thanks cooper
Hey man- love the Metropolis preset and the different scenes. I uploaded them to my Axe II last night and I get no sound out of any of the patches. The cab and amp blocks were all grey'd out in Axe Edit (I know I shouldn't be using it) - any clue what is wrong and what I can do to fix this? Would love to rock out with these patches. Thanks man!
Great vid ,Ok its time to take plastic of the axe lcd :-)
Nice!
Can u edit this on a computer instead of that 2 inch screen?
+infoowetrust
Yes, just plug in a USB and you can edit everything in real time from your computer via Axe-Edit. Look it up on Fractal's website. Very convenient!
Is this Preset available?
awesome =)
My brain hurts from watching this
ill take it?
DUAL VERB with TS808
what is the name of the first song you play?
+Junior Soares Metrópolis Pt 2
Scene 6: Peter Gearhead chucks his axe off the balcony and returns to ease and simplicity of his favorite acoustic guitar.
U have two last names just saying
Uses green screen... doesn't change the background. lol
Axe fx spermware?? What?? xD 0:27
All this gearing and souding like a amateur 😜
All the gear and no idea
You don't watch many of his videos. The boy can play!
+Yngsatchvai Got that right
