Pitch shift wet output to bypass amp block?

Right, I am thinking of the config page where the amp is designated with an 'A' between pre and post effects where the amp will sit in the routing. I have it in the middle so there are 4 pre FX and 4 post FX. Is it possible to bypass the 'A' or pre-FX output and go straight to the post-FX input...

Pitch shift wet output to bypass amp block?

I'm not sure if the FX8 is flexible enough to do this, but I like to use the pitch shift for a pseudo bass effect for riffs. I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to route the pitch shift wet output so it bypasses the amp block. That way I can use the distortion from an amp and not...

Anyone else pre-order the new SPARK CAB powered FRFR ?

I pre-ordered and have had mine since Thanksgiving. The hiss is indeed present and annoying. It's more like a brown noise and does not increase with volume. I don't have much opportunity to play loud with babies in the house, but did take it to some rehearsal space recently. It sounded truly...

Footswitch not working....

I thought I had a bad footswitch once, but I ended up stomping it harder than usual (I am gentle on my gear) a couple times. It ended up working again and hasn't been an issue since. Can't really explain it! I was about to send it to Fractal when I decided to give it some tough love first, haha.

Effects block labels blank

This tripped me up at first as well. It's pretty cool to have the option of an effect with no footswitch assigned for it, if needed.

FX8 V5.04 Released

I do find it strange that the most recent firmware bug has not been fixed at least, but I'm not any less happy with the unit because of it. It's fun to have new FX added, but I've barely scratched the surface of the current effect offerings, if I'm being honest. I got in for the B-stock...

Using two preamps question

You should be able to do this no problem. I use two Mesa amps in stereo with awesome results. It takes a bunch of cables to accomplish, but the results are really cool. It's basically the classic 4 cable method... but with 7 cables for the stereo functionality for both amps (the input cable...

Once again, the FX8 provides flexibility when I need it most

Yea man and you can still go back to the other presets to use with your other amps.

Good Synth Blocks/Presets for FX8

I went through this video to setup some cool synth sounds. The synth on its own is pretty finicky. It needs some help to bring out the best in it.

Bandmates complaining about tone....

Yea, a tone that sounds good by itself doesn't usually translate well to a band mix. Glad you got it sorted.

What type of FX8 rig are you running?

I guess I am the odd man out then. I am running stereo through my Mesa Mark V:25 and Mini Rectifier 25. I just play at home and jam once per week. If I was gigging, I would just use one or the other amp mono. It's fun to play in stereo! I also use a VOL block to be able to play through one...
