    Pitch shift wet output to bypass amp block?

    I'm not sure if the FX8 is flexible enough to do this, but I like to use the pitch shift for a pseudo bass effect for riffs. I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to route the pitch shift wet output so it bypasses the amp block. That way I can use the distortion from an amp and not...

    No sound with Y switch on and pitch block bypassed

    I have a strange problem that I have been meaning to post about. I have a pitch block with X/Y settings. If I switch to the Y settings with the block enabled, all is well. If I then bypass the pitch block, I get no sound until I either turn the block back on or switch back to the X setting...

    FX8-Edit not updating effect blocks on FX8

    I'm new to the FX-8 (used to own an AXE FX Standard 7 years ago), and having a strange issue using the editor. If I change an effect type for a block from FX8-Edit, it does not update the block on the FX8. If I change block 2 from drive to chorus, the DRV block becomes greyed out on the FX8...

    Anyone have some nice wah settings that are not on the wiki?

    Looking for some more wah settings to play with that are not on the AXE Wiki. Anyone been able to duplicate the sound of their favorite wahs (other than what is already on the Wiki please)? The wahs on the AXE are awesome and I'm still trying out different settings to see what I like the best.

    interface sluggish when cab sims active?

    I normally play through a poweramp and guitar cabs with cab sims bypassed, but I am working on my poweramp (waiting for quieter fan replacement to arrive) so I decided to go direct and use cab sims. I notice that the cab sims increase CPU usage and if the usage gets to around 94-95% the AXE LCD...

    8 months later and I'm STILL 100% happy with AXE FX!!!

    FACT: I was once a self-proclaimed gear whore. I traded out Mesa amps and FX pedals on a regular basis. "I give it 2 weeks" was the popular response to my NGD threads. Early February of this year I decided to give in to the AXE FX after hearing a friend's AXEFX A/Bed alongside my Mark V...

    How to tighten expression pedals on FCB1010!

    Just about everyone that has used an FCB1010 before or owns one will tell you that the pedals have a lousy feel and no resistance. Mine were no different and I finally did something about it and it only took about 5 minutes. All you need is a Z shaped screwdriver like this: And, a 5/16"...

    bass simulation preset using guitar (octave effect)

    Anyone have a good octave preset for simulating bass guitar using regular guitar? Is it as simple as selecting a bass cab sim and using the pitch block set for octave down? Does it sound convincing enough at least for scratch tracks?

    switching amp sims from within a preset?

    There was a thread on here a few weeks ago that told a couple ways to change amp sims from within a preset. I can't find that thread now and I want to try this out. The FCB1010 only has on/off/nc states for stompbox mode (and nc does not have correct LED indication) so I thought it would be...

    Simulate V30 speakers using global EQ?

    I have EVM12L speakers installed in my Mesa 3/4 back cabs. I started thinking how cool it would be if i could tweak the global EQ to simulate V30s without actually swapping speakers out. My idea is to compare the frequency responses of the EV and V30 and tweak the global EQ to simulate the...

    Going stereo - what are some cool things I can do now?

    I just bought another Mesa 3/4 back 1x12 cab so I can run the AXE in stereo! I know ping pong delay, reverb, and stereo chorus all sound awesome in stereo, but what else is there to do in stereo with the AXE?

    Presets organized in banks of brands...

    I had an idea to organize my presets in banks of 5 presets - each using different brands of amps. I am using the Behringer FCB1010 with the UnO firmware so the top row is all stompboxes. This allows the bottom row to recall 5 presets per bank. Each bank contains (in this order from left to...

    AXE FX noise issue (soundclip included)

    This noise is present when connected to SLA-2 as well as direct to PC. I am using a Recto amp sim with gain at noon. All guitars create this noise as well as all outlets and cables. The AXE seems to be the source. GND LFT switch makes no difference and balanced connection makes only a VERY...

    Anyone found a Mesa 3/4 back cab IR?

    I have an EV loaded Mesa 3/4 back 1x12 cab and would love to find an impulse or make my own so my tone is consistent whether direct or through my cab.

    auto engage wah off delay parameter

    I think we need a wah off delay parameter like the Morley wah pedals have. So when auto engage is used it will delay turning the wah off enough so you can use the full sweep of the wah without it turning off and back on when hitting the heel down position briefly. I have used auto engage since...

    Tone degredation when using effects?

    I've been turning FX on and off using my FCB1010 with the UnO firmware chip. I have noticed that no matter which preset I use the volume changes and the tone seems to be degraded when I switch the delay and reverb on. Why is this?

    ground lift switch on SLA-2?! Can't find it!

    The manual says it has a ground lift switch, but I can't find this switch on the unit!! Anyone else notice this? What am I missing? I've got some noise I need to troubleshoot.

    Need a schematic for FCB1010

    I installed an UnO chip and nicked one of the electrical pathways that supplies power to the #6 LED and I think I need to jumper a cable or repair the path (not sure the correct term) to fix it. Either need the schematic or instructions for repairing the nick...

    How are the wahs on the AXE? Will they replace my real wah?

    I've got an Ernie Ball wah currently that I'm holding onto for now until I receive my AFX Standard later this week. It is the only piece of gear left from my old rig (had to liquidate my old rig to afford the AXE). Based on your experiences with the AXE's wahs will I be selling my EB Wah...
