Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

[ZenRigs Man]

Kicktags are harder to get than the AX8 when it first came out.

Hey mate! I have a new batch being prepped that will be available for sale from the weekend. As these are all hand-assembled and not mass-produced, it means it takes a little time to prepare each batch. I've been fortunate that each batch of the latest gen released so far has sold very quickly, but I've worked on ways to reduce the batch-prep time (down from 1 month at the launch of the current gen to 2 weeks now) so hopefully not too much of a wait between batches.

If you'd like me to give u a heads-up as I prepare to release the next batch, just drop me a mail at sukh@kicktags.com and I'll be in touch.

Nice man! I haven't figured out how I'm going to do my switches yet. Just got my AX8 the other day. When I do, I'm going for the inverse Kicktags this time around. Wish my MFC ones would fit it. OZ!

Yep - if only all boards were equally sized, it would make life a lot simpler all round!

Good news is that the text labels and tiles you have for the MFC will work perfectly on the AX8 - all you need is a set of Surrounds specifically sized for it.

Cheers!

Got my new Kick Tag labels today!View attachment 33214

Nice! Love the way you've *deliberately* kept the Boost label regular print to make it stand out from the others ;-)

The Easy button speaks for itself

Haha, I was just browsing while Linda Ronstadt's "It's So Easy" was playing, I see your pedal-board and think hey I have an "easy" button and press it. That was easy.

Here's my board.



Ohhhhh glow in the dark KickTags are awesome by the way!

Looking sharp, brother! You have exactly the same stuff as I do on my board (black EV-1 and G70), apart from my self-painted black Peterson Strobe Classic tuner

Cool ! I just picked up another transmitter for the G70 and my next piece will be one of those Peterson Tuners!

Sounds like mine should be ready soon - Yes!!

This is what I call "have your cake and eat it to..."

I use the Gordius as follows:
- The first pedal on the right is directly connected to the Ax8 and is for Wah
- the last pedal is for volume control. i use variables in the Gordius to set the Lead Boost. this way I can change the boost for when playing with a trio or more.
- Switch 12-2-3 are functions for the left pedal (Whammy, Octaver, Delay Mix,...)
- Switches 4-7 are song preset switches
- Switch 8 is Up
- Switch 9 is Down
- Switch 10 is "Enter" - this selects the preset for the song on the Gordius and sends appropriate parameters for tempo, harmonizer settings...

I can use scenes on the Ax8 and switch blocks on/off on the fly if I choose to do so

Nice setup, what's the switchback connected to the LGX?

Waiting on my new Mission EP-1's to show up.

Not sure what you mean by switchback.
The front row are the switches and LEDs I took from the LG(X) and built into an aluminium extruded profile.
The Gordius is connected to the Ax8 through midi.
I use it for songs and controlling the two outer pedals.

How do you like that Dunlop mini expression pedal? I'm thinking about getting one of those when I get my AX8

@Larry Largen what's the blue thing with the USB stick on top of the AX8?

 

[Larry Largen]

@iaresee That's a MiniEngine Plus MIDI tone generator that I use with my Fishman Tripeplay. I run the synth sounds into the FX loop and control the volume with the silver mission pedal.

I find this super mini pedal nothing to say practical and solid, much more stable with shoes.
