    Scenes or Presets?

    When you are playing 40 songs per gig, i can't conceive wanting a a scene per song, not only from the amount of time it would take to set up but also the difficulty of jumping between songs if the order changes or someone makes a request. I also use presets and have 3 banks which cover all the...

    Yup, problem solved. Thanks! I use IE because some of the internal programs I use for work require it. Otherwise I would use Chrome :cool:

    Problem uploading Preset?

    I keep getting an error message saying there was a problem uploading my file. I exported the preset to my desktop and am uploading from there. Am I doing something wrong?

    First Gig with 2 AX8's

    Thanks! We actually play 4 sets with a lot of different types of songs so having the flexibility of the AX8 is really great!

    First Gig with 2 AX8's

    Yeah, this is just the sound captured by the camera. Bass Amp miked on stage and drums are the only instruments not direct into the PA

    First Gig with 2 AX8's

    I'm the guitar on the left in the video and I am running 3 banks of 4 presets. We play 4 sets with a lot of different songs and I play more of the effects driven parts like the talk box part in "Livin on a prayer." Overall I use about 9 different presets. I don't turn on or off effects much...

    First Gig with 2 AX8's

    Here is a clip to my band's first gig with both guitar players using our AX8's for the first time. Both of us are direct in through the PA. I have used Fractal gear for the last 6 years starting with an Axe FX Ultra and most recently the FX8. I am loving the AX8 and how easy it is to use. Also...

    AXE 8 VS. Helix GAME Over!!!

    So I had a Helix on Order from Guitar Center before the AX8 was announced. Seeing as how the AX8 won't ship for a few weeks at the earliest, I didn't cancel my Helix order and it arrived earlier this week. In summary, I played with it for less than an hour before I boxed it back up and took it...

    Tuner issue with updated firmware

    Before I updated to the new firmware, in sticky preset mode I would access the tuner by holding down the "tempo/bank down" switch. With the new firmware installed, this no longer works despite any settings I change in the Global menu to assign the tuner there. The only function that switch will...

    Banking up n down?

    Before the update, in sticky preset mode, holding the tempo button engaged the tuner. Now after the update, in sticky preset mode it will only bank down. I have tried changed the global settings for it to switch to the tuner both on tap and hold but neither works. To get to the tuner now, I have...

    Help needed, custom midi cable for phantom

    I use a 7 pin midi cable for phantom power on the GCP. The 5 pin option is straight midi and you would use the AC power cord for power.

    New FX8 Day - First Impressions

    I would like the switching to work the way my voodoo labs ground control pro does. The bottom 4 buttons are presets and you can assign the other 8 buttons as controllers to turn effects on or off. The 2 bottom right buttons bank up and down and when you do go to a different bank, the names of...

    footswitches - when you press or release?

    Was that an option with the new firmware? I saw a a lot of threads asking for that but was not aware it had been changed to be an option set by the user.

    Fractal Relay Switching w/PRS Amps?

    I have an Archon 50. I contacted PRS directly and was told the relays in the fx8 do not work with the amp. You would need to use another device like the mini amp gizmo to switch the channels.

    Calling all PRS Archon owners

    Could you provide a brief description of how it connects to the amp and the FX8? Are you able to switch channels from the fx8 in a preset or is there some other step required?

    Calling all PRS Archon owners

    I contacted PRS directly and the amp is not compatible with the relays in the FX8 so the only way is to use an external device like the mini amp gizmo.

    Wish FX8 Wish List

    I have played a couple of gigs with the FX8 now and here is what would like to see as someone who uses presets exclusively. 1. The ability to make the bottom 4 buttons assigned to presets in a bank and the top 4 assigned to a row of blocks that can be turned on/off within that preset. I am...

    Looper Question

    Where do you set the MODE parameter within a preset?

    Looper Question

    Is it possible to switch presets while the looper is playing to overdub with a different preset? Every time I do that, the looper stops when I step on the new preset. I didn't see anything in the manual or online about this. Seems like something that you should be able to do?

    So...Now the FX8 is in peoples hands...what do you think?

    Yes, thank you. I found the tempo adjustment in the controllers menu exactly as you described. Still not sure why you wouldn't be able to do it through the tempo menu in the block though?

    So...Now the FX8 is in peoples hands...what do you think?

    The source is LFO 1a but I don't have any idea how to adjust the rate. I am not using any expression pedals currently (if that is the way you would do it) and I don't see anywhere in the block how to alter the rate.

    So...Now the FX8 is in peoples hands...what do you think?

    I am having an issue with the formant block. I copied the settings I have on a preset from my axe fx and the speed of the effect is too fast. I have tried adjusting every parameter in the block and modifier and nothing seems to slow it down. I did see that there is a tempo menu but that also...

    Is this channel switch safe for the Relay control on FX8?

    PRS Archon 50 question I have the same question about a PRS Archon 50. Is it compatible with the short to sleeve switching needed for the relay blocks? I have sent an email to PRS but have not heard back yet.

    Suggested FAS Update

    IMHO, Fractal set the expectation for at least occasional updates by letting us know about past manufacturing issues and delays. As a result, we now "expect" at least an occasional update on the status of the units. Entitled or not, I don't think that a weekly or biweekly update on status is...

    Second Wave Of Shipments??

    Also, I live in the Los Angeles area and was wondering if Tone Merchants will be getting a demo unit? I know a lot of guitar players that would love to demo the FX8 in person!

    Second Wave Of Shipments??

    I was hoping that maybe we could get some idea on how many units will be shipping once the boat arrives and a ballpark on what date you needed to get on the waitlist to get one of those.

    I love Dan Huff as well! I just got an Ultra and the Atomic a few weeks ago. Began playing with the Axe-Edit to import presets like this one but after importing, I get no sound coming from the patch. Some other preset imports have had this issue while others have been fine. Any help as to how to...
