    Newbie here with a question...

    Coming from someone who wasted way to much time messing with tones... I can't recommend enough to get some good presets. The ability to just flip through and easily identify the amps you like is priceless. If you like the default presets Id recommend Moke (the first link). He mixes the factory...

    Atomica for heavy metal

    I've recently been doing the same thing! Its become my main heavy preset actually. I'll have to check these out when I get home to see how they compare to what I've been trying out. Have any sound clips by any chance?

    Need help deciding what to buy

    FRFR stands for Full Range Flat Response. This basically just means it is suppose to be a neutral sounding speaker that doesn't color the tone. For instance a PA speaker would be FRFR but your cab would not. FRFR speakers can be ideal since the AX8 has a digital cab and the FRFR does a good job...

    Cool to leave AX8 turned on and switch on/off at wall?

    I agree it don't seem to make any difference how you turn it off. One thing to keep in mind though, is after saving or making changes wait some time before powering off (I've heard 30 seconds is plenty). If you don't, it can trigger some factory reset of settings when you power it back on. Found...

    Why Shop AX8 ??

    These units have had the ability to create amazing tones for a long time and still do. One of the biggest factors, from my experience, isn't updates, but from knowing how to sculpt sound with the unit. Basically, we already have something way more powerful than we even know how to completely...

    FS AxeFX II mark II+MFC101 mark II+OSP 3U Road Case+25ft Cat6 cable $1750

    You will get an AXE FX II mark II and MFC 101 mark II with a OSP road case 3U rack and a cat 6 Ethernet cable (25ft) that you can use to power and control the MFC 101 from the AXE II. I am the original owner of all the items. I have gigged with these but the AXE has been in the rack so the AXE...

    How many tried the III and decided to just keep using the II?

    Not sure why someone would do that if they had money for it. I could see someone sticking with mainly the AX8 after using the III though.

    System params reset if not waiting 5 secs

    Last time it happened was on Wednesday, I just changed the preset name and waited a few seconds before turning it off and it happened. This was before hearing about the waiting 5 seconds or up to 30 seconds before powering off after making changes.

    System params reset if not waiting 5 secs

    Didn't really know this existed until now. Good to know though because this has happened to me before leaving for practice a couple times this month and couldn't figure out what was happening. I found the thread talking about it some but unfortunately the wiki link in it doesn't lead to...

    Not a Bug Power Cycle triggered default settings?

    That's very helpful Yek! I really appreciate the reply! I'll be more mindful after making changes and powering off.

    Not a Bug Power Cycle triggered default settings?

    Yesterday I finalized my presets right before practice and everything was great as usual. Right when I got to my practice, when i turned my AX8 on, some settings switched to the default. All of the foot switches changed from what I set them to. Also some setting like the large display time and...

    Cab Block: High and Low Cut Settings

    Leon Todd has a video that helped me with that too. If you go to the very very end of the video he highlights what to do. In short you go into Documents, Fractal audio, AX8, blocks, then drag or copy over the folders Leon provided in his link. Then you can open them in ax8 edit under the blocks...

    Cab Block: High and Low Cut Settings

    Yeah I'd recommend putting it at the end so that everything is filtered through it. I really can't play without it now. I turn it off and everything almost sounds muddy to my ear now. I listened to our live performance in a venue where I've played dozens of times and I could pick out all my...
