    Is there a way to tie the use of one effect (block?) to the use of another?

    You can set one of the footswitches to act as a Control Switch (works as a modifier like external switches, but you can use an onboard footswitch of your choice), and use that to control the bypass mode of the blocks you want to use together. You can even set the on/off state of the switch per...

    So, what's everyone's favourite amp model?

    I only really use two models: 1987X JUMP for crunch and Band-Commander for clean. Given the nature of my band's music (progressive metal), I use the 1987X the majority of the time, but the Band-Commander sounds so great, it really is hard to pick just one. (Still, two out of 200+ is pretty good...

    Help with external footswitch

    That is just the way they work. I'm kind of disappointed that this issue has never been solved in a software update at some point.

    Talk to me about pickups

    My only guitar with stock pickups is the one I specced out myself - go figure :rolleyes: But yeah, like someone has said already, I hear MORE of a difference with pickups than with any other amp/FX system I've had, and while you might get close to what you want by altering the core tone using...

    Which Line 6 Relay do you use with the AX8?

    I use the G30, and I've never had a problem with the range, and I've only once experienced drop-outs in a Wifi-heavy environment. Using channel 2 instead of instead 1 solved the issue. I wouldn't want to drop the transmitter though, it doesn't feel overly sturdy. I place mine in my back pocket...

    Scene 3/4, 5/6, etc... toggle for footswitch 1-8 on the AX8?

    But we already have this "problem" with the scene 1/2 switch. If you map out your scenes in a clever way, it won't be a problem. If you for instance program scenes 1, 3, 5 and 7 to be your "main" sounds, and scenes 2, 4, 6 and 8 to be a slight variation of these sounds with maybe delay or a mod...

    How do YOU record?

    I use a Scarlett 18i8 interface with the AX8 output 1 to input 5-6 and output 2 to input 7-8. This way I can record two different signals at once - usually that means dry amp sound on one track and wet effects to another track. I don't always record the wet signal, but for leads it's nice to be...

    Your AX8 home studio

    I prefer it to be on the floor, so I can use the footswitches and expression pedals. I don't have space for a 60*40cm board on my desk anyways.

    Favourite superclean amps atm?

    I really like the JM45 for the time being. I find it less stiff than the Fender models I used to use for clean sounds, and it works great when I'm switching back and forth from JM45 for clean and Dirty Shirley for crunch.

    How to output 2 stereo channels 1/2 and 3/4 from AX8

    I split my signal as well, when I'm recording, but I have decided not to recording the dry guitar tone. I never reamp anyways. Instead, I split my signal in raw amp, and 100% wet (delay, reverb, multidelay), so I can adjust the wet level after recording, and it works great for me.

    Can you have reveal, only reveal IA for the top 4 presets?

    Unfortunately, you can't do that at the moment. I have added to the wishlist to have two customisable footswitch layouts per preset, which would allow you to do this, but it has not been implemented.

    5 ways to use an expression pedal (that aren't a wah)

    I have two expression pedals - one set permanently to wah (even though I hate wah - go figure ;) ) and the other one set permanently to control the amount of ambience - input gain on multidelay (shimmer), and two different (one for dotted eights, and one for eighth and quarter notes) delay...

    HSS

    I use all four of my guitars (HSS Charvel, HH Mayones Setius, Telecaster, Epiphone ES-339 Pro) into the same four patches (Clean, Break-up, Crunch and High gain), and I quite like how the character of each guitar with varying output, EQ curve etc. shines through across all the patches. YMMV, but...

    AX8 pedal extension by Voes.be

    I'm building something like this with a friend of mine in an old Rivera footswitch I got for free. I'm excited to see if we can work it out, but he's pretty good at the technical stuff and knows how to program, so I believe I am in good hands. ;)

    Wireless without a pedal board?

    The XVive wireless system has a reciever that runs on batteries. Both the reciever and the transmitter can be charged with a USB charger. I've tried it shortly and it worked fine with great range and no serious signal degradation. It's very easy to use - almost as easy as the Line 6 G10, which...
