    FS AX8 for Sale - $100,000,000

    I’m guessing this has the original first issue DSP chips, JRC4558 op amps and orange drop caps throughout. These sound much better than the stuff Fractal is churning out now. I would avoid it though if the firmware isn’t the original version :)

    Strangest things you’ve seen at your gigs

    I once did a gig in a bar and they had booked a male stripper to do his thing for the landlady while we played. His nickname was "Tripod" I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

    Making Quick Adjustments

    I’ve just got my hands on a III and currently own a Kemper. One of the things I like about the Kemper is that a number key parameters appear on the front panel, such as reverb and delay level, delay time, gate threshold etc. How would I go about doing this on the III so I don’t have to do too...

    Light bulbs....

    I wonder if people said the same thing when we went from candles and gaslight to electric lights?

    Laptop for Axe-Edit?

    I bought a Leonovo Yoga which is a 2 in 1 convertable with touchscreen. It was a great price and has a fantastic spec for the money. SSD, very good screen, very portable. Axe edit works great in tablet mode, turning knobs and flicking switches on the fly etc. I’m a Mac guy but happy with this...

    Cover Band: Do you match the guitar tones?

    I’ve done some covers where I’ve researched the guitarist’s gear, picked up the right guitar, loaded up the correct amp and effects and been blown away how close you can get to the original tone. It’s a very gratifying experiance and it just puts me in the zone with the original player. Great...

    Quick Demo

    Thus creating a paradox as there would be no Axe Fx and we would all be desperately wishing it was March 2018! :-)

    Flying In A Blue Dream

    Nicely done! I was jamming along to this track the other week and nailed all the feedback parts using a Digitech Freqout pedal. Great bit of kit and my neighbours love me for buying it!

    A fun exercise in nostalgia

    Yep, been all over that lot at some point plus the mighty Digital Compact Cassette fail! I still have mine in the loft.

    A fun exercise in nostalgia

    In 1980 I sold a 1966 Vox AC30 for £300 and I bought a Carlsboro Rebel because I was sick of lugging the bloody Vox around! Also a Benson tape echo and brand new Arbiter Fuzz Face (found at the back of an old TV shop) which I originally bought for £20 went as well. The Rebel was pretty crap, but...

    Back As A Fractal Owner, XL+ or AX8 Dilemma

    Hi All, I’m back as a Fractal owner after some time away. It all started with an Axe-Fx Standard on firmware V3 many moons ago when I think there were only around 2 in the UK! I moved away from Fractal products on the introduction of the Axe-Fx II, largely due to the cost and at the time, the...

    FRFR Headphones

    As an aside, I'm nearly at the end of a 14 day trial with Waves Virtual Mix Room: http://www.waves.com/plugins/nx#introducing-nx-virtual-mix-room I've been using it with my HD600s and it's a pretty impressive add-on for headphones. If you don't have or can't use monitors, then this really helps...

    Programmer uses Python to graph what songs were recorded using click tracks

    The Rush track is interesting. Neil often plays along to keyboard sequences but the bands live monitor engineer stated in an interview that the band doesn't use click tracks. Could it just be he's able to lock down a tempo when it's needed?
