    Help me understand please! Seamless preset/scene switching...

    Thank you for your replies everyone! I think based on my own experience with the Axe FX and the reading i have being doing, along with your responses......i believe the Axe8 (or Axe Fx for that matter) will not achieve the workflow/operation parameters that i require. It seems at this stage of...

    Help me understand please! Seamless preset/scene switching...

    Hi all, sorry for the tl;dr…..really appreciate your advice!! I know this topic has been done to death but I am still struggling to get to grips with what’s possible and what’s not. I am considering an AX8 and have had an Ultra and Axe Fx II in the past. My main concern is the audio gap when...

    Product Delay

    How is MIDI the solution? If i want to control wah, whammy, volume and reverb + delay mix with separate expression pedals, how is MIDI going to help? Do they even make MIDI expression pedals?!

    Product Delay

    Can you add an extra expression input or two while you are at it? Pleaaaaase! 2 is not enough!!!!

    MIDI what?

    reverb hold

    that was my concern. it seems only having 2 external switch/expression inputs is a bit limiting?! Would have loved to have seen 4 like on the MFC-101. i am not sure how i am going to be able to control volume, wah, whammy, reverb hold and things like delay/reverb mix etc. via external...

    reverb hold

    ahh, sorry, i thought i was done with the questions. 1 more please..... i really love the reverb hold feature from FW17 i think it was? anyway, will this be possible on the FX-8, and if so, will it just be a matter of holding down the footswitch, but then how does that work with X/Y press and...

    scenes + instant access

    last question i promise! (maybe) ;-) on the MFC-101 you could set for example the bottom row of switches to switch between scenes and have the rest of the foot switches act as instant access switches to turn on/off individual effects. can you do this on the FX-8? cheers

    delay trails question...

    another silly one, but just wanting to make sure. if i turn engage and then disengage a delay block for example (within the same preset) will the delay trails naturally fade and not just stop abruptly? I see the FX-8 offers DSP or True Bypass options. I assume trails will only work in DSP bypass...

    external footswitch on/off question

    this may be a really silly question but i just wanted to check, will i be able to use something like a Mission SP-1 expression pedal to engage something like the Wah effect on/off? The SP-1 has two outputs. One for the pedal "sweep" and another for the "on/off" button. On my MFC-101 i could...

    Question for Mark Day....

    Or anyone else who knows! :) Can you tell me please what pedalboard you are using in this picture of the FX-8 and 2x EV-1's? I am on the waiting list for an FX-8 and plan on using 2x EV-1's and a Dunlop volume pedal with it. Just trying to get a gauge for the size of pedalboard i am going to...

    intelligent harmony and half step down tuning

    Lol no idea what chords they are! Haha....i only know chord shapes in standard tuning....when i play in alt tunings its all by experimentation and ear. I have no idea what im playing from a theory standpoint, i just play what sounds good to me.

    I cant.....i need the volume block for ambient reverb swells. If i use the amp volume it mutes the trails i think. Will have to test. Yes i do use the wah.

    preset - cpu usage help!

    lol, probably not far from the truth ;-) tbh I have considered going to a amp/cab + fx8 setup. I know I would miss out on a lot of cool amp tones, but really I only use 3 core amps/tones that I could probably get from one tube amp, perhaps something like the victory v30. paired with a nice 2x12...

    good tip, I am only using 3 external modifiers (volume, wah & whammy). not excessive I would have thought?

    thanks, checked both my amp blocks and its already set to zero on both.

    preset - cpu usage help!

    yeah I hear ya, the problem with a multiple preset setup for me is the un-usable delay switching between presets. I need seamless switching so I have to use scenes.

    lol, I see your point but I have just tried closing axe edit, removing the USB cable and adding the extra cab / reverb blocks on the axe itself and I get the CPU overload message

    preset - cpu usage help!

    thanks for the suggestion however I will be using each of those blocks in other scenes. they are only bypassed in this scene. I have however deleted "empty" shunt spaces now incase that saves a tiny bit of CPU

    Apologies if the answers are written somewhere but just had a couple of noob questions: 1. Since updating to 15.06 i have noticed a lot, not all but a lot of the amps default to 10 (full up!) on the master volume. Is this by design? Its not an issue as i just adjust to taste but a lot of the...

    back to the axe! suggestions welcome.....

    CLR to allow for those times where I do jam with other muso's and loud drummers, or play a small club gig etc. I probably would be considering other cheaper options if i had to save up for the new price of a CLR but there is possibly a second hand one available locally which could be within reach.

    mono / stereo connections & settings question please

    lol, i have had that question before. i realise the axe can replicate these pedals but i just like having them on the floor at my feet. i do things with the carbon copy, el capistan and wet reverb that requires the "tactile" knob tweaking on-the-fly. so this setup just works best for me.
