    Fuchs ODS 100 Classic functions using FX8 for switching

    Hi, I don't own a Fuchs yet...SERIOUSLY thinking about it, though. I am just wondering if any of you FX8 users have a Fuchs ODS Classic. The amp has a handful of switching functions...just trying to see if they can all be used. I have an FX8 and love using it with the amps that I have but most...

    Xotic SL Drive/Fractal FX8 Commentary

    Does anyone know if this pedal is based off any of the standard circuits we hear about..? Guvnor, bluesbreaker, rat, etc..The sl drive is pretty much my go to pedal...I have three of them...they show up on different boards. I have not found any hints after a lot of searching. The reason for my...

    FX-8 questions, drive models vs real, your thoughts

    Hi folks, I have had my FX-8 board for awhile and have not been using it and just dug it out to rethink presets for where I am now in the journey. When I originally got the FX-8 my idea was to mostly use it for the bigger high gain amps to switch channels, use effects, all that good stuff...

    Friedman Small Box and FX-8

    Any of you guys that use a friedman small box 50 with an fx-8 have a favorite drive/boost for leads on the BE channel? I have tried a bunch and made a lot of presets but just curious about your thoughts... especially a boost that does not add a lot of brightness just gain/compression and maybe...

    Favorite drive pedals in FX8 for driving a clean amp..?

    Just throwing this out there...I am going to go through all of them obsessively but I thought a consensus might be handy. One rig I use is a fender blues deluxe with a regular style pedalboard. I want to do a setup the could replace the real pedals if needed, which will probably become...

    FX-8 / Mesa Mark IV Switching Questions

    Just a couple of basic questions here... I am working towards buying a Mesa Mark IV Head and I want to be able to control the amp functions from the FX-8. I know there are the two relay jacks but I would need more. If I get something like the RJM mini amp gizmo (or regular amp gizmo) with the...

    Basic Video on Fractal Editing

    My first effort on video. If I get a positive response I will certainly do more. Thanks to Mikko from ML Sound and Chris from axe tutorials, as well as many friends and fans recommending I get started with doing videos like this. Hope you enjoy!

    Consensus on FRFR stuff, improvements

    I am just trying to get a feel for what the popular consensus is on the use of FRFR in a live situation and any tips from real players that do club size venues on up to larger, (sorry bedroom players and church guys!) that perform a lot for improvements. I have been using the axe 2 for about 6...

    2 simple questions

    Maybe these are mfc issues, not sure though so I thought more likely to be seen here. 1. I would like my mfc 101, axe 2, and axe edit to have the same numbers. Axe and axe edit are good (001) but mfc is on 000. I thought it was display offset...everyone is set on one...maybe this is not...

    FR/FR Tonal Questions...blazing highs

    I am sure there are other threads about this... but hey it's a forum. So I picked up an Atomic CLR. I guess I need some help in understanding tonally how to cope. First off, my original rig--axe fx2 matrix 800--port city os 1x12 (g-12-65) This rig has sounded great. I really did not have any...

    Question on Cab Pack 20

    Under the speaker and microphones heading it says... SPEAKER AND MICROPHONES Cab Pack 18 features one combo: the ML Class-A 2x12, based on a 1964 Vox™ 2x12 AC30® Top Boost with original Alnico Blue speakers. I am confused by this...is there a vox cab included with the brit 4x12 stuff or is...

    using a buffer in front of the axe fx 2...good, bad, or otherwise?

    I have used buffers on regular style pedalboards in the past for a positive effect, better cleanup when rolling guitar volume down, capacitance helped, etc. I have had one on my board before the input of the axe fx 2 for years...I am sort of wondering now if it is necessary or not. Having a time...

    Maybe a dumb question..?

    I know it is probably a dumb question but when updating the firmware do you need to manually add the ultra res cabs? I have not ever done this. I sort of thought it went through on it's own but maybe not...if so is there a place to download the previous ultra res stuff from before Q1.02?

    Maybe a dumb question but...

    Will using Flat Response monitors live sound like my power amp and regular speaker cab? The Pete Thorn video with the atomic cabs seem pretty realistic in the video but maybe I just won't know until I play them myself. I don't think I can afford $1000 to test the theory out! I have read a bit on...

    Power amp/speaker situation Wattage, suggestions

    Hi Folks, I have been using the matrix gt800fx power amp with my axe fx 2 for awhile and I am running into some issues. I believe it may be just too much power. I ran it for years with my 2x12 port city which had 2 celestion g12-65s at 8ohms. That seemed fine. I have played that for years...

    What guitars used?

    I am just curious what guitars are used when tweaking the presets/models/etc in the axe fx? It might give some insight into the gain/tone settings. In other words if Cliff used a les paul with emg pickups and I use a tele then the tweaks are worlds apart. I remember hearing that a certain mesa...

    Curious distortion...

    Has anyone experienced this…turn the guitar to say 3 or 4(roughly) and hit the high strings a bit hard and get a sort of fuzzy almost clipping sound? No red lights at all just sounds odd. If you kind of whack the third string it really makes it obvious. I don't play hard so it is not glaring...

    For those using the recently G3'ed Drives...

    What are your favorites for solo boost/lead tones? Any different opinions than before they received the G3 treatment? I think I am leaning towards roughly the same as before but I am definitely in the re-tweaking mode. BB Pre for general fattening up of solos. This would often be used with a...

    Expression settings

    Do you have to disengage the global volume settings to get an expression pedal to be different per preset? I thought if you set the modifier settings to control the pedal in a given preset that it would bypass the global volume. Just making sure. My rig works fine but it is for a friend's setup...

    Axe Edit Will not start even though specs seem correct..?

    This is for a friend… He has an older mac but he is running 10.6.8 and Axe Edit 3.1.8 and it says "you can't open the application Axe Edit because it is not supported on this type of Mac". Just curious why if he is running what was recommended (10.6.8 or newer) it is not working. Is there...

    #113 Ferris Wheel Preset..?

    I have been helping a friend with getting his axe fx updated and soon get on to tweaking it…he is new to it. When we updated the firmware to most recent, the patch #113 Ferris Wheel (Steve Ferris inspired) was lost…is there an updated version or anyone that has the old one of this preset out...

    Ground Loop/Hum etc...

    Hi, I have a question concerning ground loop hum, line noise, etc. I can't be the only one with this issue... First of all the axe fx in general is a really quiet piece of gear especially with a little light tasteful use of the noise gate and not go super crazy with gain and so on. However I...

    Compatability?

    If you update to the latest firmware on the axe fx 2 and most recent axe edit, are they fully functioning together? Not quite sure based on what I have been reading…just wanted to make sure, axe edit for me is mandatory! Thanks!

    Volume Block with expression pedal issues...

    My question concerns using an expression pedal to control the volume block. I have been using the axe fx for a long time with a cable from my guitar to a buffer on my pedalboard to a volume pedal and back to the axe input. I recently rewired my board so I could use the expression jack (boss...

    Sorry for this being too long…but this is an idea I have run up against and would like to solve it.

    Metronome audible clicking problem

    For some reason after the 14 upgrade my metronome is set to on as default and is clicking through the speakers. I can turn this off manually but once I restart the axe it goes back to being on. How can I make off the default? Thanks!

    Tips for direct out sound, in ear monitors...

    Hi, folks. I was just wondering if you guys had any commentary about the axe fx 2 running through in ear monitors. I am excited by the possibilities in many ways but I am also a little nervous that I will not be as happy with the sound as I would with a loud cab punching at me and no monitors. I...

    V 10 and Axe Edit questions

    Template for live rig..?

    I am a little stumped on how to do what I want for my live rig. I want to be able to play one set of outputs into a power amp and speakers and another set of outputs direct to the PA.

    trying again...trickery 3

    I think nobody was reading so I will try again... When matching regardless of which method, how much do you guys tweak the eq after the match? If my match seems to have a little too much bass or treble could you assume that the power section of the real amp is filtering that out a bit? If...

    More tone matching trickery
