    FM9 as “analog” pedalboard?

    May works but you should connect OUT3 with volume knob maxed out to get unity gain level (as stated in the manual).

    issue : wah using momentary switch (solved!)

    Yes, there is no hold function (I also though about this). Really, I don't see why it doesn't work. EDIT : OH WAIT. Yes, on the FC-Edit tab there was a place holder (I only checked the "per-preset" one). I removed it and BOOM it works ! Thanks so much Chris !!!

    issue : wah using momentary switch (solved!)

    No I've put it on switch #3. I tried to disable MLM combo (just in case...) with no luck. The strange thing is the ring don't event light up when I press the switch... I'm using a "per-preset" layout, I don't know if it may interfere or something... Anyway thanks for the help Chris :)

    issue : wah using momentary switch (solved!)

    Hello, In the past, when I was using an AX8, I followed this excellent tutorial (by Chris I believe) in order have a wah pedal that could be used using a simple switch (momentary press). Basically the wah modifier is set to CS1 and the CS1 is assigned to a switch in momentary mode. However...

    [wish] more simple ways to edit effects I mean it's 2022, c'mon...

    Yes, that's what I've done and it works. However that should not be a global parameter but something to setup & save per preset (or at least give us the choice).
  17. macphistoo

    [wish] more simple ways to edit effects I mean it's 2022, c'mon...

    Yes, I've explored that too but that means knowing in advance which exact parameter you want to tweak. I really believe the ideal would be a quick way to land on the second page of the "edit" mode using a single button. And if it can be assigned to the "tap and hold" of the switches then we...

    Great to see you managed to get something you like :) I personally never succeeded in getting a sound I like from any monitor (even with great one like Adam A7X that I eventually sold) / FRFR solution, that probably my hears... Actually the best "live" sound I have is using the "power amp"...

    U2 Mysterious ways patches

    That’s really the closest recreation of the A3 effect I’ve ever heard. I own an A3 and the main difference with some presets I’v tested on other gears (Axe-Fx 2, 3..) was the feeling when playing (A3 is really « interactive »). How do you compare it between your FM9 and the A3 ?

    How do you monitor your Axe-Fx III?

    I personally use a brand new Boss Katana Artist MKII, through its power amp input, since 2 weeks and it's probably the best "monitoring" device I've never used. I only use amp bloc (no cab) on the Axe-Fx III without any special tweaking and it's stellar. I use Fractal devices since the Axe-FX...

    Fractal Cab Fx?

    That would be a nice addition to Fractal product range. I never liked to play through monitors, and I had good one (Adam A7X). I checked the products on Line 6 website and that's really looks great ! I'm interested in the 112 Plus model.

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    You need digital coaxial input on your interface. Also the master clock ***must*** be configured as external to avoid frequent *pop*.

    Output 1 makes the mixer distort (turn red)

    So if I use the AX8 in front of a real amp, using only drive or other pedal models, should I set it to -10dbu as well ?

    Replace Axe Fx II with Ax8?

    I have a question : does a too big Axe-FX II preset will load on the AX8 (using Fractools) with blocks desactivated, so you can adjust and edit it, or does the preset just won't load at all ?

    Replace Axe Fx II with Ax8?

    According to my searches and after importing a AX8 87% CPU preset I've found that AX8 has like 2/3 horsepower of the Axe-II. So, any preset above 62-64% on my Axe-II won't translate on the AX8 without drastic concessions (like reverb etc...).

    Replace Axe Fx II with Ax8?

    Yes, I've checked the website for CPU usage but some block that I use are missing (like the multi-delay). I have a Line6 M5 that I can put on the effect loop for things like the shimmer effect or reverbs but it break a little bit the point to reduce the rig. Ouch 50% seems a kind of deal breaker.

    Speaking of phantom power, I always wonder the following : the manual says 1A max. Does it mean 1A max DRAINED by the midi device or 1A power source plugged on the Axe ? What I mean is I have a midi controller that require 0.5A but let's say I plug a power capable of delivering 1.5A on the Axe...

    Is The Edge going with Axe FX for the new tour?

    Please try this preset. This is my last one trying to replicate the A3. The auto-wah is based on fisioaura work. I had an A3 and yeah, the flanger... I completely agree with grape. Important: you have to be tuned in Eb. Important2 : if the drive is disabled on scene 1, enable it.

    Is The Edge going with Axe FX for the new tour?
