    Anyone here using an AX8 with Synergy SYN-2 ?

    Add a powerstation and you've got a pretty nice setup that combines both worlds. IMO the way vai uses it all is great though. Analog pedals in front of synergy and the axe fx in the loop for mod, delays and reverb...etc. Just add a way to switch out the synergy so you can use axe preamp models...

    Anyone here using an AX8 with Synergy SYN-2 ?

    My setup was 4cm yes. So you would have Guitar to FM3 input FM3 output 2 to synergy instrument In Synergy fx send to FM3 input 2 FM3 output 1 to synergy fx return.

    Midi pedals for FM3

    Don't discount an RJM Mastermind LT. Good integration with Fractal. Also the Morningstar mc8 will be a great one to use.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta

    Cliff @FractalAudio congrats on this new breakthrough. I have taken a hiatus from FAS gear and went back to a traditional setup. I seem to recall this idea of matching the impedence coming up a few years back. As a power amp with real cab user I knew this would greatly make a difference when...

    Stomping

    I use my Left foot for most switching and wah which stinks if you are running a traditional pedalboard which goes right to left. I don't get the right foot thing as the guitar body is in the way. Left leg is much more free to operate lol.

    Fx8 with Boss ES8 noise and no proper output

    So you are looking just for one loop setup correct? Not 4cm wiring with the es8... Does seem odd. Is your preset setup with all effects as pre? To troubleshoot eliminate the es8 and plug your guitar into pre in and pre out into the amp input. Get that working first so you know whether its the...

    Made the jump: RJM MMGT/22! (And the learning experience)

    The price tag is hard to swallow on those but it does seem to be the current best option for the axe fx III. And you're right the RJM support is really part of the cost too so its worth it. Congrats to you on getting a good rig going.

    Best U2 presets for AX8

    Anything in the Axechange? No presets to offer but a few simple ideas I stick to with U2 presets is using the AC30 obviously or the matchless DC30. I always put the delays (2290 or deluxe memory mind guy) in front of the amp block. I use the Sdd or shimmer drive types as well. As for IR's I...

    Integration with RJM Mastermind GT?

    Integration with RJM Mastermind GT?

    Would be a big plus with FAS and RJM teaming up. Especially if there's some similarities to the FC in that we can assign things with the Axe III. Props to FAS for helping this alternate route.

    interim solution (before Axe3)

    I'm actually thinking about holding out for a new floor version and using the HXFX for awhile. I have an XL/MFC that I love but would like to drop rack space and move to an all in one floor model. The HXFX is cheaper than an AX8/FX8 and won't drop in value when a new FAS Floor version drops.

    Couple of posts about why the MFC 101 doesn't work the same in some other threads. It works in basic midi mode not axe fx mode.

    I'm worried about the Ax8 future...

    I really do hope a new floor version isn't far behind. I had two AX8's and kept going back to my XL setup because I was just used it so much. To have more CPU and a better UI with the screens would make it a no brainer for many. Kind of like how Line 6 released the Helix and Helix rack together.
  65. Keg8605

    FC18 and FC21

    nope it doesn't. the dimensions will help too. I could see an FC6 next to a FC 12 being quite wide too. From the photos they look a bit tall to elevate one behind the other too. I'm wondering also if they'll have midi in and maybe a way to add the voes controller underneath for scenes or something.
  66. Keg8605

    FC18 and FC21

    I'm kind of with you but sometimes you just have to adapt and then you'll be fine. They can only offer so much. Lots of MFC users wished for a smaller mfc. At least they have two options now.

  73. Keg8605

    I'm worried about the Ax8 future...

    I think we are looking to be near the end of the AX8 and Axe FX XL unfortunately. Just speculating but that's my guess. They also know how much people want the seamless switching and more processing power in a floor unit so I expect a new AX8 etc is very close on the horizon. ALLLLL SPECULATING .

    I am excited but not sure whether I'll make the switch. I can't really fit another 1u into my 6u rack and I really want a new floor version similar to the AXE III
  77. Keg8605

    AX8 2?

    I think it may take some time but It'd be no question if an AXE III floor came out. Expanding to a 3u rack and controller is tough. I like the extra horsepower though. I hope they release an updated floor version soon.

    Here are two power amps may give best of both FRFR and Real cab sounds

    From what I gathered that just is like keeping the presence/depth knobs at zero and when you engaged enhance mode its like having them at noon. I don't suspect there to be much difference between the synergy and fryette LXII. The powerstation is also pretty neutral.
  79. Keg8605

    Here are two power amps may give best of both FRFR and Real cab sounds

    The Fryette LXII was announced in 2012 and still has not been put into production. Your only option is the SYN5050 which is a good 1u tube power amp. The fryette power station is a good alternative that is cheaper as well but Mono.
