Look it up fast

Tables, diagrams and fixes. Built to be opened mid-session with a guitar still on, not read front to back.

The hardware

Controls and footswitches

Every control on an interactive top panel — nine switches, nine layouts, and why a switch changes job.

Every jack on an interactive rear panel, Humbuster, and the FASLINK II port.

The numbers that answer a question, with the Axe-Fx III and FM3 comparisons.

Sound

The two axes that make one preset replace a dozen.

14 by 6, all stereo, and a CPU budget you manage rather than caps you hit.

Every model Fractal themselves describe — and an honest account of the ones they don't.

Using it

FRFR, front of house, into a real amp, or both at once.

Straight answers to the things people actually ask.

Symptom, cause, fix — including what is documented behaviour rather than a fault.

Grid, scene, channel, shunt, Humbuster, FASLINK, layout, Cygnus.
