    Glenn Delaune AX8 Presets

    Glenn- the GD Dumble Jazz is the first preset created by someone else that I have found to be useful. Amazing sounds, the clean is great and then when I kick the od it's killer. I made some small changes but thanks for uploading that.

    AX8 vs Atomic Amplifire

    I have both, the Amplifire is there as a backup. I prefer the Ax8, the Amplifire does seem to have a signature sound that is hard to dial out even when using third party IRs. I can't find any fault with the Ax8. The amp models, on board irs, effects and ability to use eq are all superior to the...

    4x12 PRE-ROLA 55 M160 Alternative

    Weird question, hopefully someone can help me. I use the Ax8 exclusively for all my live gigs. I just got an Amplifire that I plan on using as a back up. I use cab 54, 4x12 PRE-ROLA 55 M160, which is from Cab Lab 20. Does any one know of a alternative that can be purchased in a .wav format that...

    AX8: what is "must have" IR ?

    Factory Cab 55- 4x12 PRE-ROLA 75 M160 (ML) — Based on a 4x12 Marshall 1960 cab with G12M 75Hz greenbacks, UltraRes. That is the one I have been using on almost all my patches with Bogner Shiva Clean, Friedman BE and HBE, CAE3 Clean, and the AC-20. They all sound great to me.

    Dunlop Mini Volume Pedal

    I just got the Hotone. It definitely feels a little weird compared to the mission EP-1 i was using but the size and convenience are great. If I can get used to it it I will keep it. Its just to small and light to not use.

    Do you use amp knobs on your AX8?

    I voted yes but I mostly use the level control. I kinda wish there was a way to tie the output block level to that knob because now every time I switch the level for x I have to go do the same for Y which is kind of annoying. Unless I am missing a way to tie the volume of x and y together.

    Pitch Detune Delay

    Just tried again with headphones and really loud so I wouldn't hear the acoustic sound. Same result.

    Pitch Detune Delay

    Not really. It just seems to kind echo back really quickly. Like a slap back kind of sound.

    Pitch Detune Delay

    I am using the Pitch Detune instead of a chorus but when i play single not lines or like a muted rhythm picking pattern there is a noticeable delay. Kind of almost sounds like a slapback delay. I have the delays in the block set to 0. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    AX8 Default Preset Mode

    I am set up as Matt is suggesting above. It works for me.Have access to 8 presets with 8 scenes each. That's way more than enough options for me. I don't miss the access to the stompboxes because using the scenes accomplishes the same thing just in a better way.

    AX8 Takes a Different Way of Thinking.... How do you set switches for live use?

Each preset is basically a different sound- clean, clean w chorus, triaxis dirt, dirty Shirley dirt, triaxis lead, dirty Shirley lead etc. I then...

    It basically just fits the actual unit. I don't always use an expression pedal so i felt it was a waste to have it on there. I plan on putting my Mission in the front pocket for when I need it. My goal is to keep this rig as small/light as possible. I think the next pedaltrain that would fit one...

    I am using the same Gator bag as NeoSound posted. I just bought a pedaltrain jr. as I gig pretty often and really don't like having to reconnect all the cables for every gig. Having it wired on a pedalboard seems like it will probably be more convenient.

    Cold/Hot

    So I am used to leaving my pedalboard in my car while I am at work. I live on the east cost and sometimes the weather is really cold or really hot in the summer. Do you guys know whether this will be an issue for the ax8?

    AX8 Wishes

    I am really happy now with the way my F switches are set up and would rather not switch them. Even though this can be a little annoying I am not going to switch around my whole live setup just for this. It is what it is for right now. Not the end of the world.
  63. S

    AX8 Wishes

    I have this issue as well. Can be quite annoying especially when I'm trying to get to the tuner quickly.
  64. S

    My Experience

    Yea, they are very bright compared to the FOH but I wasn't judging by those, I use the eq on the Behringer to work with that. Using the Mid and the q filter is very helpful with warming those up. I am judging by front of house pre-eq in any case.

    Lag on the AX8 when switching presets.

    I used the Ax8 last night live and the lag was a complete non issue for me. This thread scared me into thinking it would be but it was totally fine for my purposes.
  68. S

    My Experience

    I am going off memory here but in the EQ section of the amp block there is an option for a Mark style or something to that effect. That is the one I was using.
  69. S

    My Experience

    That's not my issue. 90% of the engineers I work with are great and no their job and I could care less what the tone is after they are done messing with it for the room. I was listening pre-eq.
  70. S

    My Experience

    Thanks man! Yea, I have the highes cut pretty significantly in the eq section of the amp block, I use the Mesa style 5 band. I am going to try the Cab block suggestion along with Brokvail's earlier suggestion. Thank all you guys alot! Keep the ideas coming, I appreciate all the help and ideas...
  71. S

    My Experience

    No doubt about that. I had the engineer put the through the FOH flat before the gig started. Once the gig started they do their usual curbing of the highs and lows and im sure he either boosted the high mids or cut the low mids because thats what they do but I don't hear that because the line is...
  72. S

    My Experience

    I actually have the fat switch engaged on most of my leads. Seems to just be another way to boost the low mids to me. Again, I don't think I am having an issue with the amp block. I think this is something I need to experiment with the cab block.
  73. S

    My Experience

    Yes. I messed around with the patches at the gig just basically using the front knobs and the eq section of the amp cab.

    For cleans I am using a Shiva. The main dirty amps I am using are the Triaxis Red 2 and Dirty Shirley. I have the Shiva gain channel set up as well but I don't think I even touched it. Its hard to put the style into a box, its basically a fusion of everything. I actually have the clean lead set...

    I am still on the fence with regard to whether or not I am going to keep the Ax8. I did my second gig with it last night and it sounded pretty good.

    Sticky Preset Questions

    You rock dude! Thanks for the help, I will try that. May as well ask you another question based on another scenario... If I were to set switches 1-4 as presets, 5-8 as I/A, F1 bank up, and F2 as bank down would the banks turn into banks of four? Or would I have to set up the total of 8 presets...
  84. S

    Sticky Preset Questions

    I don't think I would need to. If I have access to 8 presets using the the 8 switches and have the ability to have 2 scenes per preset using the Scene 1/2 set to F2 I should be more than set.
  85. S

    Sticky Preset Questions

    Is there any way to disable preset up and down for switches F2 and F3 if I am using F1 to sticky presets. Ideally I would like to have the unit on sticky presets while using F2 for Scene 1/2 and F3 as the tap tempo. I guess a related question- Is there anyway to have the unit kind of default...

    AX8 - First listen for newbs like me

    I am pretty sure this topic is specific to the Ax8 in that there is no dedicated headphone out. Unless there was something wrong with the Hosa Y cable I got, I don't think it is an ideal way to listen to the Ax8.

    AX8 - First listen for newbs like me

    I spent about four hours with it tonight. My goal was to come up with about 5 to 8 presets to start using in my live rig. I ended up with two because they sounded so good I just couldn't move on. This thing is insanely good.

    Just an update here... Tried it through an m audio interface and into GarageBand and it sounded awesome. So, in my experience, I have to agree with David.
