Mission engineering Gemini 212 I'm finally giving up

I can vouch for Mick (like many others on here). He made me a custom cab several years ago that continues to sound great and be super durable. My first FRFR solution was a Gemini as well and I had similar reliability issues. Mick is the bomb.

What External Pedals Are You Using With your Axe-Fx?

I use the Mel9 and the Pitchfork, both by EXH. Both are in the loop of my Ax8. The Mel9 of course is superb if you are into adding those 70's mellotron sounds (which I am) and I typically use the Pitchfork set to momentary to add (poly) pitch shifting weirdness to parts.

Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

I switched from an Axe FX XL a few months ago to the AX8. Really happy overall. I split my signal in the AX8 so L goes to my Matrix and the guitar half of my custom XiTone and R goes to the Pitchfork and then to a TC BH250 head and the bass part of the XiTone. The MEL9 is in the loop. The Jamman...

How do I assign footswitches to specific preset + scene?

Hi Moke, this is really cool, thanks! One of the reasons I just recently switched from the Axe FX XL & MFC to the Ax8 was this flexibility. Having said that, when switching to another preset, can you decide which scene it will go to, or will it always default to scene 1? Thanks!

FINALLY!!!! A solution to the age old FRFR issue of....

Another satisfied XiTone customer here. Mick made me a very special "skinny slant" that has a 10" on the bottom for my bass and 12" on top with the HF driver for guitar. There is a switch in the back to shut off the tweeter which was I doing about half the time when I first received the cab...

How to choose a cab expansion pack?

2 weeks ago, after much thought (and bugging Mikko with private messages asking for advice) I bought Cab Pack 23. I am definitely a 2x12 guy and must say that I love the Citrus 2 x 12 SM57-MD421 1 from the Aces folder. Really nails what I have been looking for. I have been playing the Tucana and...

Do you use your AxeFx and MFC live?

I use my gear in a somewhat non-standard way in that I split my signal and run both bass and guitar sounds at the same time. Here is the thread detailing my new custom cab from XiTone that allows me to do this with ease. http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/how-about-this-for-a-change.104879/...

How about this for a change....

Well, it has now been about a month since I received my custom XiTone cab so I thought that I would write up a bit more detailed explanation/review. As I wrote above, my band is a hybrid kind of thing with samples and importantly, I split my (baritone) signal to play both guitar and bass tones...

How about this for a change....

It took 8 weeks from the time that I paid to the time that it was actually delivered and in my house. Mick was proactive throughout the time letting me know where he was in the process, sending pics, etc... Well worth every penny. :-)

How about this for a change....

This is my cab and it arrived today at noon central time. Mick shipped it on Tuesday! I have played it for about 30 minutes and I am thoroughly pleased as initial reaction. It sounds great. I have 2 gigs coming up in the next week, so I will write a more in depth review after that. The cab...

Using a back-up rig

Yeah, good point on the AX8...That would be an ideal unit, maybe even as a rig for quick/small gigs

Using a back-up rig

A few weeks ago I developed a problem with My Axe FX II XL where the Output 2 knob no longer controlled level. The result was that Output 2 was full blast all the time. Output 1 works fine. After troubleshooting with Charlie from Fractal and waiting until after this past weekend because of a...
