    My AX8 Still sounds great

    Mine serves me well. I bought my second hand to replace my axe fx 2 rig which resides at the home studio. I also take with me a backup analogue pedal board to every show and have never used it. I don’t mind if you don’t like my labels 😆

    Getting a user cab from Axe 2 to AX8

    So the closest I’ve got is using fractal bot in receive mode, choosing specific Cab. My user cab is in slot 17 so I write 17 and I get this warning that asks me to choose a valid cab number between 1-100. Fractal bot is connected to axe 2 through usb and I’m able to do a backup of everything...

    Can the Axe-Fx II sustain?

    I’m my experience. You don’t need any fancy presets or compressors or effects. Just make sure the amp or distortion block you are using produces mostly even harmonic distortion.

    Typical question: Should i buy an AX8 in 2022? Please read the post :)

    I just bought an Ax8 and SD170 to replace my Axe II and matrix gt1000 2u so I can travel light to gigs and rehearsals, and use the Axe II for recording. I gotta say, it was an absolutely great decision. It’s sounds killer and having access to amp the main controls right in front of you and the...

    Axe-Fx II Tuner problem

    And choose axe fx or Spdif as the sync master and not to internal
  12. NMG

    Been thinking about getting a Matrix power amp but.....

    Something to consider is the speakers you are going to use. It is advised to match the speakers to the matrix amp. In normal stereo operation (per channel basis) it wants to provide up to 150watts into a 16 ohm load and 300 watts into a 8 ohm load. This is the advise from the manual anyway...

    Axe-Fx 2 still worth grabbing?

    I owned axe 2 since 2012, if it failed I’d be buying another one for sure! And by the way I can afford axe fx 3, no issues there- I just like how the axe 2 works and integrated with my pedal board.

    Any risk operating AxeFx-II on its side?

    I keep my on its side so that the screen is near the floor. That way the hot air from the internal power supply and the processors rises away from the radiating parts to other side of the unit and out of the large holes I cut in the sides to allow air to pass through. Probably unnecessary :)
