    FX8 Update

    This is great news!!

    Slightly saddened by Guthrie... Again.

    Next video he'll be using an FX-8 on the loop of his amps! :)
  4. D

    Ok. I'll start Wish list

    My wish list for the FX-8 would be for it to have a cab block too, to be able to load an acoustic IR for violin type sounds using the synth(assuming the synth is included), also having the cab block would be nice to make a patch using the drives to have as a backup solution in case your tube amp...

    Getting close to my favorite Leslie / Rotary sound [UPDATED]

    Another leslie pedal that sounds pretty decent (at least in the demos) is the GSI Burn, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtCAJjECfnM ) keyboard player I'm working with is getting one to compare to the Neo.

    Welcome to the new FX8 General Discussion Area

    My plan is to use both tube amps, and AXE II. Have been using the AXE II/MFC direct to FOH for a long time and it works/sounds great, but for some gigs I've been doing with a different band where the music doesn't require hardly any effects I've been using my Carol Ann Tucana 3 amp, so the FX-8...

    "Adam Holdsworth" Clean Chorus Sound 1.0

    Just saw a picture on Allan's FB page where he seems to be using those old Yamaha DG amps again.. strange, over the years quite a few nice Allan patches/recordings have been posted at this forum that prove the AXE can get very close to his sound..I imagined he'd have an Axe FX by now.. I used to...

    MAC DAW recommendations....

    Like it's been said GarageBand is a nice program to get started with, I used to use Pro Tools, and Digital Performer, now just use Digital Performer ( Pro Tools is good, but I hate Avid.. :) ) Logic is very nice and a great deal these days, and it comes with some decent free Plug In...

    In-ear monitor recommendations?

    I've been using a MIPRO In Ear System for a few years, tons of gigs, never an issue, most other guys in the band use the SHURE PSM 900, the MIPRO system is much cheaper, but nothing wrong with the SHURE 900s..

    So I received my PYKmax pick.. and quickly it went to the never to be used again picks pile.. :) Unless you have a major problem dropping picks I don't see any benefit at all for this pick.. it doesn't sound that great (got the 1 mm one) and makes you hold the pick in a strange angle (in my...

    pykmax... wth?

    It looks like a lot of thought went into building that pick holder, so maybe it offers something.. I don't know, i don't mind supporting creating people whenever i can.. it's fairly cheap. I've tried so many picks and always end up using Fender Extra heavies 99% of the time :)

    I think for 15 bucks it's worth a try.. I've spent a lot more then that in useless picks in the past.. :)

    Wish MFC with 2 expression pedals please

    In my opinion not a good solution, for something like the MFC it's better to have separate expression pedals, in experience expression pedals tend to break after a while, and also would make the MFC too heavy, as it is right now it's the best, at least for me.. :)
  19. D

    TUCANA 3!!! The best tone I ever heard! Cliff, PLEASE model all channels :(

    I'm so glad Cliff included the Tucana 3 on the AXE, this amp(Real amp) has become my favorite amp, just the right amount of thickness, and all 3 channels are great!
  20. D

    Harmonizer in the Axe FX 2

    I have the Eventide H-9 and the AXE II, In my opinion if you can't get a harmonizer sound to your liking with the AXE, forget about the Eventide, AXE is way way better, Eventide H-9 is ok for a little pedal, but the pitch tracking isn't even close, when bending notes etc.

    Palm mute strangness?

    I bet that would be an interesting experiment , 6 Axe's on one guitar!!! :) You already have the Axes all you need is the right pickup to try it.. It would sound killer!!

    Dayum, Carol-Ann Tucana 3

    I have to agree the Tucana 3 is a great amp!! I had owned the TripR which was a good amp too, then bought the TUCANA 3 about 4 months ago and it's one of my favorite amps! Will be very happy to see it included in the AXE ..

    Who uses a basic signal chain?

    Axe-Fx II to Midi In of the GR55?

    Maybe i'm missing something here, but your MFC should be able to switch patches in both AXE 2 and Roland at same time..you of course won't be able to play any of the GR 55 sounds,(i'm sure you know that, only with the 13 pin out of your guitar for that) but switching patches should work fine.
  32. D

    Axe Fx reliability?

    Anything electronic can fail and a backup is always a good idea, but my AXE 2 has traveled to at least 25 countries and has never failed!!! I use a good road case and it has traveled by car. truck, train, and when flying it goes as checked luggage.. so far no problems other then the airlines...

    How many cabs do you really need?

    I think it's nice to have as many IRs available to choose from, and they can be used nicely in the studio to layer different tones, but for live use I stick to only a few cabs and amp sounds, it's easier for the FOH sound man to EQ and make it fit in the mix..
  43. D

    Does the included power cable from AxeFx2 (bought in US) work in 220v country?

    I've used mine in many countries with difference voltages,(USA/Australia/South Africa, all over Europe) works great anywhere, you don't need to do anything, just use the appropriate power cable.

    What real amp(s) have you kept?

    I always like to have a good tube amp in the house, many times my Axe along with all the live gear stays at rehearsal, or is traveling by truck or plane to some place, and it's nice to have a good sounding amp around, my favorite lately is the Carol Ann Tucana 3, what a great sounding amp!!
  51. D

  54. D

    Recommend me a MIDI-controller that fits my needs!

    I'd suggest a used Roland GFC 50, if you can find one, works on batteries, and they last up to 80 hours with 6 AA,s It's small, you can plug some extras pedals (expression etc) Its my backup for the MFC. Just google it, and you can easily get the manual online from Roland.
