Which OD to crunchify a clean channel?

I have a EVH 5150 III S and I'm trying to use the clean channel with an OD from my FX8 to get a nice crunchy tone; any recommendations towards this? I've tried TS808 + Fulltone OD dialed in different ways but not 100% happy with the results

volume pedal on zero does not mute signal completely

yes, calibrated and the block goes to zero when in heel position. I remember I've had the same issue also on axe-fx II with a boss volume pedal; to me that simply means that there has to be some sort of offset parameter that I am missing :/

How to set up noise gates for a high gain patch?

just curious what's your strategy for setting up the input noise-gate and the noise-gate block. I have a EVH 5153 head and use a overdrive block in PRE, and have a noise-gate block in POST. I'd like to be able to bypass the noise-gate block for clean channel, so it should take care of most of...

volume pedal on zero does not mute signal completely

I've calibrated my ev-1 pedal and added a volume block at the end of the chain. when I pull the pedal to 0 (heel position), it does not mute the signal completely, I can still hear a little of the guitar signal coming out of my cabinet. is there a settings that I am missing?

6505+ Relay switching cable

you will need a Y cable with 2 TRS connectors on one end and 7DIN on the other. TRS jacks go intro the relay1 and relay2 females on the FX8 and the 7din goes into the EVH, obviously.

transfer FX8 patches to axe-fx?

is this possible? there's a few factory presets on FX8 which I would like to "take home" and use on my axe-fx (I'll have to add cab/amp blocks, off course), is this possible somehow using fx8 edit / axe edit?
