Also (and I know this is painfully obvious), try other USB cables. I have a number of USB cables that work for some devices, but for whatever reason, my AxeFX does not function with them. I have given away a dozen otherwise fully functional USB cables because they AxeFX is picky about which...

I have a couple of devices that occasionally exhibit those kinds of things. Even when the device requires higher voltage / amperage than USB can provide, there is enough voltage coming through USB to sometimes light up LEDs.

@Jcharnet Nice work! I use my MMGT16 with an AxeFX III, and have spent a lot of time programming GT pedals for other users. I haven't encountered this kind of requirement as yet, and am interested in how you will implement your solution. Looking at the manuals for the Ampete 88s and 8FX, they...

This is an interesting puzzle. I saw RJM's reply above, and as I suspected, this kind of complex logic isn't a built-in MMGT behavior. IA Grouping is super handy for radio-button selections (e.g., managing AxeFX "Scenes" where only one option in the IA Group can be active at a time), but that is...

I'd also recommend taking a look at the CME MIDI devices such as these: https://www.cme-pro.com/product-category/wired-midi/midi-tools-bluetooth-midi/ I don't work for them, I'm just a customer. But I use their WIDI devices between my MMGT and AxeFX rack. I have a pair of these...

This is fantastic customer support. Love it. Thanks for all you do.

Wow! That looks very handy. I might have to experiment with one. I could see these being useful for some of my custom pedalboard clients.

My approach is (1) engineer reliability into the system (2) consider failure scenarios (3) create a contingency plan for failures that are likely to occur (4) be ready to get inventive. If you think ahead, design your rig for reliability, and plan for contingencies, you are much less likely to...

I think either of those devices would give you a great backup option. For me, just engineering the rack wiring and planning for "how am I going to switch to the backup as quickly as possible?" led me to consider the simplest and most efficient setup. I built a handy mini-snake cable that carries...

I have a Tech21 Fly Rig as my AxeFX III backup. It's in the back of my rack and can be pulled out, cabled up, and ready for action in about 30 seconds. I haven't ever needed it, but it's reassuring to know it's there. My approach is to keep the size and weight as low as possible, and have a...

If both pedals are working with either cable when directly connected to the AxeFX, then we've isolated the issue to something in the MMGT->AxeFX communication. Since you're able to get one of the pedals to consistently work in any MMGT Expression Pedal input, and the other isn't working in any...

I use a pair if EV-1 controllers with my MMGT16. I also build and configure touring systems for clients, and have a lot of experience working with the MMGT series and Fractal Audio systems. It sounds like you've performed the appropriate troubleshooting tests, but I'll ask the following just to...

I have a couple of clear plastic covers that I made from painter's tarps, and they are super handy for dusty / rainy situations. They fully cover the top and sides of my pedalboard and have elastic straps across the open bottom, so everything on the board can still get reasonable ventilation. It...

When designing and building my stage rig I always prioritize reliability over convenience. I'd rather do a little extra work if it means lowering the likelihood of onstage issues. Using WIDI has been as reliable (for me) as a wired MIDI connection. I can only comment from my own experience, so...

This seems like a good option given your explanation of how you use your pedals. I use a MMGT16 with my AxeFX III rig. In my various rig incarnations over the years, I have occasionally had an outboard tuner (Turbo Tuner, Strobo Stomp, Rack Tuners, etc.), but ultimately I found the built-in...
