    AX8 block library and fractool issues

    I am trying to convert my presets from my XL over to an AX8. None of the options are working besides of course manually dialing in blocks. Fractal converted XL to AX8 presets load incorrectly and then when I make changes those changes aren't being saved. For example, FXloop keeps going back to...

    Recently discovered Mercuriall and their plug-ins. They have good demos so you can try. I grabbed the Marshall Spark one after using it for awhile. First plug-in I've tried where I am satisfied playing it.

    DIY Fret Leveling & crowning

    Midi in and FAS Link

    Quick question - lots of searching and didn't find the answer. Can I use the midi in port on the MFC along with FAS Link? I'd be using it on a different channel and I read about no phantom power obviously. Pretty sure the answer is no. Confirmation? Thanks

    Does anyone know of a nice head that has a good clean power section to it? I've been wanting to pickup a power station to use with my XL but I'm starting to think maybe just a nice tube head with a good power amp section would be better since I would have the option of using 4cm as well then.

    VU meters for output 2 (AX8)

    As an Out 1 FOH / Out 2 power amp-cab user I used the VU meters for output 2 on the Axe FX. Any chance these could be added back to the AX8? Often the cab block changes my levels quite a bit and thus output 2 vs output 1 can be very different.
