    Tone osilating while playing any patch

    Haha, that was my first thought, I had that happen one time and it was a trip, took me a few minutes to figure it out but sure enough it was the monitor pointed up at the ceiling fan and the reflections off the rotating fan blades made it sound like a vibrato type effect in the background.

    How Many Of You.....

    I prefer traditional guitar cabs. In my last two bands the other guitarists were using tube amps and to me a FRFR monitor just couldn't compete with a traditional guitar cab in a small club. I'm sure in larger clubs where the mains carry the bulk of the sound it would be a different story, but...

    Thinking of switching to AX8 but...

    When switching presets on the AX8 there is a noticeable audio dropout, the only way around this (as far as I know) is to use scenes and then you are limited to just one amp and using scene controllers to adjust the gain and output of that one amp. This might not be an issue for you but I think...

    Powered 1-12 # guitar speaker

    I use an Avatar Vintage 112 cab with a Matrix GM50 plate amp. Instead of cutting the back of the cab to install the amp I made a new back out of a piece of plywood that I had laying around. It works and sounds great. It added very little weight to the cab, I'm very happy with it.

    Ext. Switch with LED indication ?

    I'm not sure if I understand your post. I use a Boss FS-6 for a couple of effects blocks and it works as you would expect, if you turn a block on with the FS-6 and change presets the block will still be on when you change presets, of course if your presets don't have the same block layout things...

    How to setup external an FS to turn Pitch off and on?

    I'd like to use an external footswitch to turn the Pitch block off and on but can't quite figure out how to do that. In the I/O Pedal menu I set Pedal 3 Type to Latching. In the I/O Ctrl menu I set Pitch Byp to Switch 3. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

I'm just hoping that they can give is the option to...
  30. T

    Can't see where I am!

    I hope they will give us the option to not have the footswitch labels on the display or make them smaller, in my case they are always the same so I really don't need them on the display and that would leave plenty of room for the bank and preset names in a large font that can be read standing up.

    Bug? Magic 8 ball in 8.01

    I tried to duplicate this with a couple of different guitars and couldn't. I tried open strings, harmonics and different pickups, when the 8 ball stops the dot is centered and both arrows appear. I did notice that on the high E string the signal level will drop very quickly and when it gets low...

    So where are AXE 1 and AXE 2 made in?

    Actually, if I'm following this thread correctly, that would mean that you were assembled in England, not made in England, there's a big difference :D

    I don't get it, I'm about as Axe II illiterate as they come and I thought the "Magic 8-ball" was a great feature. How did it confuse people :?

    The value of the Definition control.

    Short story… The definition control will tighten up the low end in a really nice way without removing all of your low end. Long story… Whenever the Fastrod came out I was really excited because I have a Quick Rod and I really like it. But to my disappointment the Fastrod didn’t sound...

    At gig - MFC-101 issue I think?

    Press the EDIT button and then EXIT/SAVE (same button). I've had that happen several times, but can't figure out what causes it. Just go into edit, maybe scroll through 1 or 2 parameters and exit, fixes it every time. EDIT: I meant the EDIT on the MFC.
