    FM3 pitch block (vs AX8)

    Hello, it's been a long time since I've been active on this forum. I actually made several youtube demos for G66 of both the Axe-Fx Ultra, Axe-Fx II, and the AX8 several years ago, when these units were new in Europe. But since I got my AX8, I've been so happy with it, it's been all that I've...

    AX8 Guitar Christmas/Advent Calendar 2020 :-)

    Guitar/AX8 Advent Calendar 2018

    Thanks! I really don't see the need for a III, especially since I find myself playing more and more acoustic these days.. I'm quite happy with my AX8 for now (with a few small exceptions..) ;-)

    Guitar/AX8 Advent Calendar 2018

    Thank you very much :-) No, I didn't mention my settings specifically, I have just used some of my old ones, maybe with a little bit of tweaking to suit the different songs and/or guitars. Most settings are pretty basic; I think it's the Double verb amp model on most of the electric tracks and...

    FX Loop/master volume question..

    Yeah, I understand, silly me.. ;-)
  11. rednebb

    FX Loop/master volume question..

    Yes, I know that I can add a volume block to the preset of course, but then I would have to do this for each preset. I was hoping there was a way to keep the global master volume without affecting the volume of the FX loop also, but I guess that's just wishful thinking then.. ;-)
  12. rednebb

    FX Loop/master volume question..

    When I play solo gigs, I normally use my AX8 with 4 exp pedals, a Boomerang III phrase sampler (looper), sometimes a stomp/"bass drum" pedal and a separate mixing desk controlling the ins and outs of the AX8 and the looper, and then again from there to the house PA and/or my Seymour Duncan...

    AX8-edit custom scales?

    Thank you, I have set up custom scales in Axe-Fx before, so I know how to do that, but I haven't done this on the AX8 yet, and was hoping I could do it in AX8-edit, of course. If this actually isn't possible, I wonder why..?
  17. rednebb

    AX8-edit custom scales?

    How do you create custom scales for the pitch block in AX8-edit? It's kind of strange, when I choose effect type: Cust.shift, no custom scale option shows up, but if I choose effect type: Intel Harm, I can choose key/scale: Custom. But when i try to set up the notes I want in the bottom row...

    Parker tremolo tuning problem

    Thanks, but this manual is for the Parker Fly, which has a different type of tremolo. Mine has a more conventional tremolo with a trem block and traditional springs on the backside, even though the bridge looks similar to the Fly tremolo from the outside..

    Parker tremolo tuning problem

    Thanks for the suggestions, but like I said, the problem is that the trem block stops in a different position when pulling the trem arm upwards, so it seems that it has nothing to do with the nut and/or the tuning machines, like others also have suggested.. As for lubricating those contact...

    Parker tremolo tuning problem

    Thanks for the reply. Like I said, i have lubricated the nut. The problem is apparently that the tremolo block "hangs up" in the wrong position after pulling the trem arm up..

    Well, it sounds FRFR to me, but SD doesn't actually say that it is FRFR. What they do say, is this: "PowerStage 700 is a revolutionary power amp designed specifically for guitarists using modelers, pedals and effects processors to create their tone" and "When you create your tone from a...

    Hello, I just wanted to share my experiences with this new setup. I've had the AX8 and two Matrix Q12 coaxial cabs for a while, but recently I bought the new Seymour Duncan Powerstage 700 to power my Q12's. It's got plenty of volume, it fits perfectly on top of one of my Q12's (attached with...

    Thanks guys, I appreciate your nice comments, and it's very nice to hear that my old demos made such an impact on some of you :-) I'm planning on making a new album in 2018, with emphasis on acoustic solo material, but I will still be using my AX8 of course. Wish you all the best for 2018 :-)

    Strange and scary amp/cab incident..

    Do you work for Matrix? Anyway, I contacted Matrix earlier about this, but we agreed that shipping the unit to them for service/repair wasn't a very economical option, since I live in Norway.. They also sent me instructions for how to maybe fix it myself (if the problem actually was what they...

    Strange and scary amp/cab incident..

    No, the Q12A was not "killed" in the process, I tested it afterwards, and it worked fine :-). When I tried it with the Magnum 44 the power was of course switched off as it's supposed to be when using it in passive mode (at least I got that right..) And there were no wrong power adapters...

    Best portable power amp in 2017

    AX8 in live gig

I use my AX8 with 4 Roland EV-5 exp pedals ( I normally use one for pre volume, one for post volume, one for wah (auto on) and one for delay/input gain level or other parameters if needed), and it's "plug-and play"-ready in a flightcase originally custom made for a mixing desk...

    Interesting, but what ISP model is that (I guess it's not the Stealth Ultra-Lite)?

    Best portable power amp in 2017

    Both the SD Powerstage 170 and the ISP Stealth Ultra-Lite seem very interesting, but are these "guitar voiced" and meant to be used with regular guitar cabinets, or are they clean, flat power amps that can be used successfully in a FRFR setup with FRFR speakers..?

  45. rednebb

    AX8 harmonizer not so intelligent..?

    Yes, an AX8 XL with a top notch pitch/harmonizer block would be cool, but I think it would be even cooler if a firmware upgrade could fix this issue with the existing AX8 (but maybe that's not possible?) And I'm sorry that I lured you into the Axe-Fx world.. ;-)

    Let me first say that in general I love my AX8, and I don't regret going from Axe-Fx II (and earlier Ultra) + MFC-101 to AX8. But I'm sorry to say that I'm very disappointed with the pitch block, especially the intelligent harmonizer.. Although I never had the chance to compare the units...

    Genelecs for stage monitoring?

    They don't have exposed drivers, they have a metal grille, and they seem very sturdy, so I'm not worried about that. And sitting with a B-bender is no problem, as long as you have a strap.. ;-)

    So around 70000 euros then maybe..? :)

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Ok, I've tested with different guitars now, and it seems it's only a substantial problem with one of my guitars; a "parts-o-caster" with Wilkinson "vintage" alnico single-coils. I tried all the above solutions with this guitar, but none of them actually seemed to help very much. So it must be a...

    I think not. I'm using a clean amp model with a tube drive pedal set to around 3.7..

    Yes, and it's an essential part of my sound, so I don't want to turn it off..
  62. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Ok, I've seen this, but I had the same issue plugging into a regular guitar amp, which of course is not FRFR and doesn't have a tweeter..
  63. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    I had the output level set relatively low, so I doubt that.
  64. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Ok, thanks, I'll try that too..
  65. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Ok, I'll try that when I get the chance tonight. But I guess that will affect the sound quite substantially, especially with acoustic guitars? (or are these bands outside the human ear's capacity anyway..?)
  66. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Any string can start it, but at least on one of my strats the G string is the dominant one.. But as I said, this guitar doesn't cause squealing/feedback with a normal combo set to high (or even higher..) gain at the same (or even louder..) volume in the same room, so again, the problem is...

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    I had some chance to do some experimenting on my own today, in the same room I rehearsed with the band yesterday, and found that the placement/angling of the Q12A could affect the squealing/feedback a little. And to my surprise, placing the Q12A right behind me (normal amp placeent) seemed to...
  70. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Of course..
  71. rednebb

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    Ok, but the Q12A contains a coaxial speaker with no tweeter, AFAIK..? Plus I can't recall having this problem earlier with the Axe-Fx/Q12A setup.

    No..

    Squealing/feedback problem..

    No, the Q12A was placed behind me on an upward angle maybe 6 feet away, like I normally would place a regular combo amp, and I haven't had feedback problems before at same volumes and with same type of drive/high gain sounds, neither with regular combos nor the Axe-Fx. And I wouldn't actually...

    Yes, I know about those options. I want the volume to be last in the chain (or before delay/reverb), but still be able to have spillover from delay and reverb, so input volume is not an option (I might use a separate volume pedal for that too, though, connected between guitar and AX8) No, I'm...

    Yes, I understand that of course, but I think it's strange that the manual says there are 512 presets, when most of them are empty (an empty preset isn't actually a preset, IMO..) The II came with 384 factory presets (none of them empty), as far as I can recall..
  94. rednebb

    How many factory presets..?

    I just got my AX8, started playing through the different presets, but was surprised to find that only banks 1-16 (plus bank 64) contained factory presets, banks 17-63 were completely empty.. The manual says: "The AX8 contains 512 different presets arranged in 64 numbered banks" But the AX8...
