Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

Guitar -> AX8 -> Matrix GT800FX -> Mesa Compact Recto Cab. AX8 lives in a carry bag and is the only thing I take to gigs if I know there's going to be a decent PA and monitors. My band's bass player also runs his Sansamp into the unused side of the Matrix and into a Bass cab for smaller gigs and it sounds huge.

Is the Temple Duo 24 exactly 24" inside the orange side ridges or handles? I'm trying to decide if I can fit an Ax8 and 2 Dunlop Expression pedals on it. Temple website shows that width is 24.5" but I'm assuming that is maximum exterior dimensions.

Edit: The info is on their website but a little buried:

At 23.2", it looks about 5/8" too narrow for the AX8 and 2 Dunlop Volume X pedals tight-packed.

SouthernShred, I'm going for a very similar setup (but the 34" board with room for more expression pedals in future).

How is the IEC power cable on back of AX8 fed through the holes underneath? Is it a stand-alone plug soldered/screwed to the wire after the wire was fed through? Or can you use that little power extender cord that TempleBoards sells?

In all cases, you'll have to cut and splice the power cable for the AX8 unless you modify a hole in the board itself to make it big enough for the socket end of the cable to pass through. If you use Temple's plug, you'll also need an adapter to get the nema plugs you need. I went with a much cheaper socket plug with a switch built in (direct fit in to Temple micro module slot) and hard wired the plug end of an extension cable directly to it.

Thanks man, this sounds like exactly what I want to do. I have plenty of old IEC C13 cables laying around from 20 years working IT jobs.

Do you have a link or part number for a switched/filtered IEC C14 receptacle that fits in the micro module slot of the Temple Audio board? I can find a few, but not sure if the dimensions match up to what fits in the board that I don't have my hands on yet. These look too big:

Edit: I just found this that looks pretty darn close... Ax8 manual says <40W power consumption, so I'm thinking 1A x 250VAC is sufficient:

Anyone used one of these connectors to verify it fits the socket on side of Temple board?

Yeah, those are too big. I went with this one: Amazon product ASIN B00DJUIX7K It is unfiltered, but fits perfect. I guess I assumed that the AX8 is filtered already and I'm not running other effects, just my wireless unit off of it.

Been lurking this forum for a while and I guess now is the time for that formal introduction. Got my AX8 a couple of months ago and finally got around to building my board. So far it's great! I use it with a Yamaha DXR10 and the sounds are good! Thanks for great inspiration here on the site. Reading your experiences and seeing your rigs helped me take the step and actually order an AX8 - I look forward to really getting to know my new rig and learning more new things :)

What labels are those?

How do you find the Mono bag for protection?

It is great. This is my second Mono pedalboard bag and I use Mono gigbags. I feel comfortable taking my board just about anywhere with this bag. Amazon had a sale on the one I bought for this, $149.
 
Can you fit a timeline & bigsky at the top?

View attachment 36129 View attachment 36130 View attachment 36131 I just updated mine. Big thanks to mrtheedge2U for answering some questions for me. Here's my TA Trio 28 board, and my Pelican Storm im2950 case. I Ordered the case with foam, removed 2 layers and viola! Perfect fit. I still need to get a custom length TRS cable for my expression pedal. But otherwise, she's done. (Well, for now)

As some of you may have saw, back in December (Dec 19), a fair amount of gear was stolen out of my garage. Through it all, the police were great to deal with. Some of the stuff was returned, a lot not. But, both my wife and I have our new pedal board setups now and are just waiting on some small final pieces before they're complete. But, here they are as they sit right now:

Mine's missing my B7K, which I need more pedal mounts for (if you're unfamiliar with Temple board, check them out, they have a cool mounting system: templeboards.com) and power. Her's is missing pretty much just power.

Been using the Temple 34 for a while. Temple power under neath the board, my shop at work wired me a cable through the board. I have since changed out the H9 for a Big Sky, and remove the mini dunlop.

It will fit but it is very tight. I had two on my Duo 24. I moved one Dunlop off and just one on the board now because I kept hitting both expression pedals at the same time. I just carry my Mission EP-1 and use it for wah and like it much better. It only takes a second to hook in with the Temple side TRS inputs. Plus with the soft case the EP-1 pedal fits in the zipper pouch for transport.

Good looking board!. damn i didn't know that the EV-1 was that big..guess i didn't really pay attention. Longer than the ax8. I know they are great though, Looking forward to the smaller version.

Thanks for feedback.. I was thinking one pedal on either side of AX8 to solve the issue of shoe hitting both pedals at once...

But today I finally pulled the trigger on Duo 34, sacrificing ultra-compactness for future expansion. We'll see how it goes!

EBVPJR with the T1M buffer inside to deal with tone suck. I've never found a vp that I prefer the sweep of to this.

Fulltone Clyde, simply can't use any other wah, perfect sweep and perfect tone for my ears.
