AX8 and Mesa 2:90

For what it is worth, I hate my 50/50 tube power amp with my Axe II and the XL+, I ended up going back to my old vintage 80's Randall solid state stereo power amp with the non-powered atomics. Now since I don't have any of that anymore, I just got my AX8 this week, but I love it plugged into...

TRS Cable to EMG Active Pickups

Ok, so that Leon Todd patch I downloaded is the issue..it has literally 1/10th the volume of any other patch I tried. I imported it again, and same thing.. I will have to familiarize myself with all the menus to try and find the hidden component, but I am going to pm him and just ask, as he is...

About to Dive In - A Few Questions

Coming from an Eleven rack that I loved, I can tell you absolutely, that a "step up" is not even a close description to moving to Fractal gear. I went initially to the Axe II, then to the XL+, and now from Amplifire (which I still love) to the AX8. You are going to not believe your...

TRS Cable to EMG Active Pickups

uh...output knob? hahahah just kidding, I am not that dumb! It is at about 3/4 volume, but I am thinking there is something in the patch that is turned down for some reason. It is the only patch I had a chance to import and try, as the unit I got was used, and the gentleman left a bunch of...

TRS Cable to EMG Active Pickups

I have kind of the same issue, but not quite. I have EMG's in all my guitars, but am using a regular TS cable from the wireless output to the AX8 input, and it seems like I have very little output from the AX8.. Now I just got the AX8 yesterday, so I am a complete newb, but I have to crank the...

AX8 now or later?

I read this thread and it was exactly what I was thinking last week..I went ahead and got a barely used unit with some cool "extras" for about the same as I would pay for a new one shipped and it is "out for delivery" right now! I cannot wait to combine it with my Amplifire!
