    FS Fractal Audio AX-8 for sale - $850

    Fractal Audio AX8 unit with box - still has plastic on the screen but has velcro on the bottom. Purchased it new in 2019 with the intent to assemble a rig to gig with, but then pretty much didn't leave the house in 2020, so it's been largely unused in my studio the entire time. (FWIW I do have...

    Wish X/Y for volume block

    This request seems simple enough... would like to have X/Y switching for the volume block. I'm using the FS-8 in front of an amp (no 4CM) and am using a volume block to get the volume control in between comp / OD and time-based (delay / reverb) effects. But, since I'm already burning a block...

    2 original demos featuring the Axe-II

    So I've been a long time Axe-FX user...had an Ultra for about a year that I never really did anything productive with (no gigs, no recording projects, etc.) which I sold to pick up a II as soon as it was released. I started out using the II for live shows but ultimately decided to go with a...

    OUT 1 control - is it possible to disable (or is mine just broken) ?

    Kinda dumb question here... been running my Axe II using 4CM. Didn't pay much attention to the OUT 1 control as my original inclination was to run it at max for unity gain (per the manual), but having been experimenting with alternate rig setups, it seems that OUT 1 doesn't actually change the...

    Simple question re: humbuster cables

    Was looking at the specs for the humbuster cables in the axe-fx ii manual, and was wondering if there is any considerable difference between wiring the cable with TRS-TS plugs as shown in the manual vs. taking a TRS-TRS cable and shorting R-S on one end. Feels logically the same in my head...

    Carvin DCM1000L/2000L vs. TS100 vs. VHT 2/50/2 or 2/90/2

    I use a TS100 with my Ultra (actually am planning on selling it, more on that later) and have been very happy with it... I owned one about 5 years ago with a Randall MTS rig and thought that it lacked character, but it turns out that the TS100's "lack of character" plays nice with the Axe-FX...

    Anyone swapped speakers in an older Atomic amp?

    I've been using a pair of the old Atomic 1x12's (18 watters) with my Axe-FX, and thought it sounded a bit dark. After some consultation with the folks at Atomic, I was told that the power amp response is flat, but the speaker has the high end rolled off (to be less harsh with other modelers)...

    questions for Axe-FX + Atomic Reactor 18w users

    Just picked up one of the 18w Atomic 112's on deal last weekend and hooked it up this morning... based on first jam I think I'm going to need to do a bit of tweaking. A few questions for folks who have similar setups... 1) Do you use cab & mic simulations with the Atomic 112? 2) Do you use...

    Ditto! After the 9.03 install this morning, the Orange may have become my favorite amp sim in record time. --B

    AXE FX vs. Tube Amp Question

    Oddly enough, it's been the reverse for me... I swear I've spent more time tweaking my Mark V and Roadster to get the "right" tones out of them than I've spent tweaking the Axe-FX. I think it's something with the high interactivity in Mesa's tone controls... I went through similar periods of...

    AXE FX vs. Tube Amp Question

    Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words... Before: After: Here's the deal... at any point in time I've typically had half a dozen different amp heads in the studio for recording projects. And the majority of them have often been Mesas, based on the sheer versatility. Over time...

    corrective EQ curve generation based on calibration mic

    Today's kinda-random-but-seemingly-useful idea: You know how you can run white nose through a set of speakers and use a calibration mic to see how "non-flat" the power amp/speakers are? Seen how some home theater receivers can use a calibration mic to set the proper levels for all the surround...

    Is this sort of routing possible?

    I've read the manual, searched the forums, still not 100% sure how to do what I want to do... :? I want my signal flow to go as follows, so I can feed my live guitar rig to get the right "feel" in the studio while taking advantage of the power amp/cab/mic simulation to run a "pristine"...

    Carvin TS100 users unite !

    Thanks, Jay! I guess I didn't mention this upfront, but I had a TS100 a few years back when I put together my first Randall MTS rack. Funny thing was that I thought the TS100 was awesome until I swapped it out for a Randall RT2/50, at which point I realized that the TS100 was a bit...

    Carvin TS100 users unite !

    As you can probably tell since this is post #1 for me, I'm new to the world of Axe-FX... I'm waiting for the UPS man to deliver, and in the mean time getting the rest of my rig components together. Seeing how a lot of Axe-FX users seem to go through a tube power amp -> SS power amp -> FRFR...
