Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II Preamp & FX Processor with MFC-101 MIDI Foot ControllerThis item is located in our Springfield, MO location.Palen Music Center is proud to offer the ultimate touring and studio rig: the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II Preamp & FX Processor paired perfectly with the MFC-101 MIDI Foot Controller. Driven by dual Analog Devices TigerSHARC Digital Signal Processors, this professional-grade combo delivers the most sophisticated guitar modeling ever engineered. Because it is a cutting-edge digital processor rather than a traditional tube amplifier, it does not utilize physical tubes. Instead, its incredibly complex digital architecture meticulously recalculates and replicates the behavior of legendary tube circuits in real-time. This provides the exact harmonic complexity, power amp sag, and dynamic pick response of pristine tubes without the reliability issues, giving you an infinitely versatile tonal palette that responds naturally to your playing style.The construction of both units is purely tour-grade and built to withstand the rigors of the road. The Axe-Fx II features a rugged, powder-coated steel chassis capped with a premium anodized aluminum faceplate, ensuring maximum durability inside your rack. On the floor, the MFC-101 MIDI Foot Controller matches this heavy-duty ethos with a 16-gauge powder-coated steel chassis and twenty-one patent-pending solid-state switches arranged across three ergonomic tiers. These switches are completely quiet, easy to operate, and far more failure-resistant than traditional mechanical footswitches, providing reliable, seamless transitions on any stage.Integrating these two powerhouses unlocks unprecedented command over your performance. Through a single FASLINK or EtherCon connection, the MFC-101 reads preset names, dynamically updates bi-color LEDs to show effect block statuses, and syncs tap tempo in real-time. Whether you are dialing in ultra-heavy high-gain stacks, organic vintage boutique cleans, or complex multi-dimensional space delays, this combination provides a flawless bridge between studio-quality tone creation and effortless live execution.HighlightsDual-DSP Processing Power: Driven by dual Analog Devices TigerSHARC processors to simulate highly complex tube circuits, cabinet responses, and studio effects with minimal latency.Tour-Ready Construction: Features a heavy-duty powder-coated steel rack chassis with an anodized aluminum faceplate paired with a 16-gauge steel floor controller built for the road.Seamless Plug-and-Play Integration: The MFC-101 auto-configures with the Axe-Fx II over a single cable, dynamically displaying preset names and a live tuner on the floor.Quiet Solid-State Switching: The foot controller features 21 ergonomic, quiet solid-state switches designed to resist mechanical failure and provide smooth operation.Comprehensive Studio and Stage I/O: Equipped with ultra-clean 24-bit/48kHz audio conversion, hum-canceling outputs, full MIDI functionality, and dedicated expression pedal expansion ports.SpecificationsAxe-Fx II DSP Engine: Dual Analog Devices TigerSHARC ProcessorsAxe-Fx II Front Input: 1/4” phone jack, unbalanced (1 MegaOhm impedance)Axe-Fx II Rear Inputs: 1/4” phone jack, balanced (1 MegaOhm impedance)Axe-Fx II Max Input Level: +16 dBu (front), +20 dBu (rear)Axe-Fx II A/D Conversion: 24-bit / 48 kHzAxe-Fx II Dynamic Range: > 110 dBAxe-Fx II Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz, +0 / -1 dBAxe-Fx II Analog Outputs: 1/4” phone jack unbalanced (hum-canceling), XLR balancedAxe-Fx II Digital I/O: RCA Coaxial for S/PDIF, XLR for AES/EBU, USB Audio (48 kHz fixed)Axe-Fx II MIDI Interface: 7-pin DIN Input (supports phantom power), 5-pin DIN Out/ThruAxe-Fx II Display: 160 × 80 dot matrix graphic LCDAxe-Fx II Dimensions: 19” × 3.5” × 14.25” (2U Rackmount)Axe-Fx II Weight: 14.75 lbs.MFC-101 Chassis Construction: 16-gauge powder-coated steelMFC-101 Footswitches: 21 solid-state switches across 3 tiersMFC-101 Visual Indicators: 21 bi-color LEDs and 20-character transflective backlit displayMFC-101 Connectivity Ports: RJ-45 Ethernet/EtherCon, FASLINK (XLR), 7-pin MIDI OutMFC-101 Expression Inputs: 4 x 1/4" TRS expression pedal jacks, 4 x external switch jacksMFC-101 Presets Supported: Up to 384 preset numbers/names mapped dynamicallyCondition: Very Good.
