    King's X...Amp and IR?

    Ty's tone on the first four King's X albums was a result of the Lab Series amp PLUS the active mid-boost pickups in the Elite Strat he used.

    Precision Drive Pedal isn't the same as the real thing

    Do any of you use your AX8 for dropping 1 step or 1/2 step in tuning?

    One thing to consider, especially with the AX8, is using a Digitech Drop pedal in front for down tuning. In my experience, it has much less noticeable latency than the pitch block on the AX8, even with few other blocks running, and it frees up CPU for other things. Yeah, you have to run an...

  52. Voldemort

    Fixed Option to delete/suppress Y states to free up CPU

    This assumes that having a block with both X and Y states uses more CPU than the same block would with just an X state. If so, it would be great to have the option to turn off Y states for blocks where you're only using the X state in a preset and free up CPU that could be used elsewhere. I have...

    Why do peeps use an external tuner in their rig ?

    Personally, I find that the tuner on the AX8 (and the Axe FX) does not visually track as quickly as my PolyTune 2. Not a big deal, but it makes tuning slightly more difficult because I find I overcompensate while the visual display takes a bit of time to catch up to the actual pitch. Once it...
