Ares FW update. Honestly can't tell any actual difference.

After reading the suggestion to do the soft reset I went down yesterday and spent a bit of time listening to my presets and then doing the soft reset. I did notice some difference. I then tweaked the pres and had to set the volumes a bit to keep them all similar. Noticed it sounded better...

Hope to get an answer if this is safe for the Axe, it seems to have solved the pop on power down issue but I don’t want to damage my unit.

Going to give it a try

I remembered a XLR cable with an on/off switch on it. I went down and hooked it up on the Axe and it works at least for me. I’m able to reach around and turn the switch and it goes silent and when I powered down no pop. Easy and free. Is there anything wrong with doing this?

I can’t akways count on the sound person to mute my channel. Is there a way for me to make sure it doesn’t pop in the mains when I turn it off?

Going to give it a try

A few years ago my amp was burned in a church arson fire. The amp had a cover on it and the cover took most of the heat and melted etc., the amp under got smoke damage and soot filled the insides. There was doubt it would ever work again. The church did give me insurance money to cover the...

How are you using your FX8?

currently I’m using mine 4 cable with a Mesa MkV25. In front of the amp I have a univibe, compressor, od (fas drive). In the loop I run tremolo, rotory, delay and reverb with one block used to switch the amp channels. One thing that really stands out to me is how quiet the rig is. Far more than...

FX8 V5.04 Released

Guess I’m in no real hurry. I just updated from 3.01 to 5.03. I’d went to 5.04 but I don’t want any problems.

Vibe

Ive been using the fx8 in the loop of my Mesa mk v 25 with some great success. I was using the chorus but never really bonded with it so I loaded the vibe block and finally got to try it playing live. The stock preset was giving up some great tones. I got a compliment from the keyboard player...

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.00 Firmware Release

To me my plexi and bass man presets sounds great. I’m still dialing in my vox and matchless pres. But having a great Fender and Marshall pres cover most anything so I think I’m good. If I ever get the vox thing that will only be icing on the cake.
