Gapless switching, clean to edge to high gain using an expression pedal

Figured it out! Assign controllers to apply to specific channel (A).

Gapless switching, clean to edge to high gain using an expression pedal

Great preset. As I have a spring loaded mission pedal, is there a way to duplicate the full pedal down settings and put it into a second scene? Otherwise I have to hold the pedal down for an extended period of time for the heavier parts. I tried copying the scene and removing the controllers in...

Alex Lifeson Epiphone LP Axcess

I've had my Eppi LIfeson now for a few weeks here's my assessment. I leave the somewhat subjective "... how does it sound?" to others with better sound input than my iPhone (Premier Guitar just put a review up too). Overall a lot of flexibility for $899. Split coils for both humbuckers and add...

Austin Live Gold Pack Bug?

I had the same/similar problem with my spring loaded EP-1. The AB pack is designed for toe down/off non-spring wahs. I had to go into each preset and change the wah OFF VALUE from 95 to 5 and put on the auto engage (and re-save). Works fine now and kicks on when I step on the pedal and turns off...

Fixed FW1.05 - changing presets

I've been mostly using my AxeFx3 at home but now that things are looking up (and out!), I started messing around with my FM3. Just scrolling thru the presets seems to give me this pop up error. I'm not editing anything nor even connected to my Mac. Just going from preset to preset using the <...

NGD Solar S1.6ET LTD FSBM

I'm a Les Paul/SC guy too. I just picked up a Solar GC1.6TBR with an evertune bridge. Really a nice guitar for the money. The stainless steel frets are a joy to bend. Still bonding with the Duncan Solars.

FM3 headphones jack

In small joints where there's no space for monitors and I'm not using my wireless IEMs, I have found this jump audio dual cable to be beneficial in eliminating the extra IEM cable. http://www.jumpaudio.net/ixmcablesetup.html I usually run an aux out return from the board to get a good band mix...

Anyone using a piezo-equipped guitar? What amp model?

Does anyone have a quick 2 in/2 out preset for piezo and electric? I need to cover 2 parts this evening. TIA!

Talk to me about pickups

Agree with Firesource and others, it does make a difference. Like IRs and amps, pickups can sort of be addictive. You 'can' have it if you want (or want to pay!). I found most of my pickup changes have been due in part, to me either loving the feel of a guitar/neck profile/has the switching...

Your AX8 "DOOHHHH" moment(s)

After a recent FW and amp model switch, during our live set, stepped on a scene for my awesome searing Chili Peppers lead only to get a quiet clean sound... and no wah (You look pretty funny stomping on a wah/expression pedal and nothing's happening...poser!). Bass player turns to me and...

Legacy Presets [Moke's Custom Presets] 'AX8' Master Thread - Updated to Q9.04/10.01 -New presets, Videos, Huge Discounts

I'm voting for #1. Adjust all the current AX8 presets with their own mean to clean. I skipped a generation so I only have an Ultra so I don't need/care with what the II has or can do. I don't need to match 'em and think moving forward, they will (?) diverge more over time. I realize #2 is...

Smallest Power Supply for AX8 + Shure GLXD16

Not many power supplies have an IEC outlet to plug your AX8 in directly as well as 250mA. I use the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 plus. I have the same setup AX8/GLXD16 with a few more pedals (Mission Engineering Expression Pedal and a EH B9) on my Temple board. It fits underneath fine and is a...

Let's Talk Cover Band Setups!

Because we vary so much with our song list (bands are a democracy right? EVERYONE gets to choose the songs!!!), I use the one patch per song approach. Each patch typically has a clean, rhythm, lead, special/other. (switches 1-4 are scenes; 5-8 stop boxes/looper). Using Set List Maker and...
