    Help needed with midi switching

    i set up my EVH 5150 III 50w for midi switching yesterday, i would imagine the H&K will be similar. The trick is in the config page, scroll down past the effects layout until you get to the MIDI stuff, then look in your amp manual to find out how to get the amp to receive MIDI changes. from...

    Do you supplement with external pedals?

    i was getting curious about real pedals this last week, so i got out my Blues Driver, Tubescreamer Mini and Friedman BE-OD. I forgot just how close the FX8 sounds to the pedals, it's nuts. Especially at live volume, there's no way I could be bothered using additional pedals when the FX8 covers...

    Just tried a Wet/Dry setup with 2 amps and the FX8

    the thing that struck me the most was how easy it was to set up, no messing around with phase, or millions of menus it just works

    Just tried a Wet/Dry setup with 2 amps and the FX8

    Just tried a Wet/Dry setup with 2 amps and the FX8 - JCM800 with fx loop wet and a Tweed dry. This was amazingly easy to setup - the JCM800 is running as normal, so the left pre out of the FX8 to the amp input, and then the post outs to the fx loop of the JCM800. To add the 2nd amp, i just ran...

    No Turning Back Now!

    i did the same, held on to my board for almost a year, fired it up again one day and it was such a pain to use compared to the FX8. So i sold all my pedals and bought a Custom Shop Strat :D

    Drive Settings

    this came from a discussion about the Ruckus, so here are my settings for a good sounding Ruckus: PG1 Drive - 3.00 Tone - 10.00 Level - 5.00 Mix - 100% PG2 Clip Type - Variable Slew Limit - 0.00 Bias - 0.00 Clip Shape - 5.00 PG3 Low Cut - 1160 High Cut - 9930 Bass - 0.00 Mid - -.50 Mid Freq -...

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    it is totally subjective I agree - but i bet Fractal have an idea of what a good starting point is on each drive type that could be used as the default. Is there a thread on recommend settings for each drive type ? I'll happily add mine for the Ruckus
  11. moltisanti

    Wish Default Settings on Drives

    As the drive models vary so greatly it's very time consuming to scroll through them all finding where each one sounds at it's best. A lot of the drives sound pretty terrible with the same settings as another drive that sounded great. It would be useful if they were set at a default "recommended"...

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    this highlights one issue i have with the FX8 drives - i think they should default to a "good" setting whenever you select one, rather than retaining the setting of the previous pedal - as there are vast differences and some sound horrendous with the same settings.. Or even better be able to to...

    Any plans for more Drives in FX8 firmware ?

    It would be awesome to have a Blues Driver, Klon, Angry Charlie to name 3 in the FX8. Does anyone know of any plans to add more drives in future firmware ?

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    the Ruckus is awesome - but the default settings on it are horrible. Try this: - put the tone on full, as in 100%. It's a treble cut, so it should be on full all the time. - up the high cut so it's brighter still - put the gain on about 9 o clock I had it A/B'd with a Friedman BE-OD and had...

    Any idea when the next Firmware update might be ?

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    i genuinely think the new one doesn't look as good as the original, i much prefer the brushed chrome to the all black design
  20. moltisanti

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    i suspect it's cheaper to produce with the all black, hence the price drop and decision to release a MkII As long as the firmware updates keep happening for the MkI it's not an issue

    HBE Detox EQ ?

    Yes sorry, i use a Scene for my clean sound which is JCM800 dirty as bypassed tone, then - GEQ -20db, Compressor, Reverb, then in the Scene Levels page I put the post output on that scene up by around 8db (i think), just try it and see. All this means you have a full clean sound with one button...

    HBE Detox EQ ?

    hi, I run a JCM800 dirty and use an EQ block to clean up the sound. The trick is to run an EQ before the amp with the output (on page 2)on around -20db, then use the Post Output level to increase the volume back up to match the original level. It works really well on amps that clean up well...

    FX8 into a clean platform like a Fender amp

    I use my FX8 into a Clean JCM800 combo for my function band and the drives work well. As for replicating a BE100 i'm not sure there's a pedal in there at the moment that could nail that tone , the Ruckus is the closest I would guess. Having said that I bet a more skilled EQ tweaker than me...

    Clean with Post Level Boost Clipping after Fw3

    I run a solo scene for my main clean sound with just Comp and Reverb then boost the level with either the Post level on the scene or a GEQ with the level up. This worked great before the FW update, but now it's clipping and sounds nasty - any idea why or how to remedy this ? Thanks

    Scene Toggling

    the way i would use use it is as follows: S1 - clean, S2 - clean lead S3 - Crunch - S4 Crunch Lead S5 - Dirty - S6 Dirty Lead so each basic sound has a toggle version with more volume, reverb. etc etc - it's a really useful way to set up a patch if you cover a lot of ground
  34. moltisanti

    Scene Toggling

    i may be missing something, but from a software development point of view i would imagine that the leg work to create S1/2 toggling has been done, so applying this to other pairs of scenes should be relatively simple. (but i might be totally understating it too)

    FX8 Magnetic Glow-in-the-Dark labels - coming January 2016! Pics and details within...

    Hi Sukh, Is there a way of attaching the tags together ? i use my FX8 for 2 different bands with totally different scenes for each one, it would be ace to able to lift off the whole label for all switches in one go and then drop the other one on depending on which band i'm playing with cheers Rik

  37. moltisanti

    Scene Toggling

    ah ok that would explain why it's not there :) it seems a little strange that you can toggle S1/2 but not the others in pairs, is this more complex in the background than I understand ?

    Scene Toggling

    I'm trying out a new setup using the new footswitch options, and i wanted to have the bottom 4 buttons as follows: Toggle S1/2 - Toggle S3/4 - Toggle S5/6 - Toggle S7/8 But when i go to assign a footswitch I only see the Toggle S1/2 option - did i miss something ?

    Using looper as a sampler ?

    Is there any conceivable way you could use the looper function to run samples ? Does the looper only save the last thing recorded into it ? Say i wanted to play a 10 second piece of audio triggered by the FX8

    Using drive to push dirty amps

    i use the TS 808 to push my 77 JMP from ACDC into high gain rhythm and it works perfectly, plus the added EQ over the real pedal makes it even punchier. I also use a Micro Boost in front of the 808 and the amp for leads
