Chapman Stick preset

I'm bringing home a Chapman Stick next week. Never played one before so I'm sure there's going to be an amazing learning curve. That said, anyone have a preset or few you can share with me for a Stick? EDIT: Sorry guys, wrong subforum. Didn't realize I'm not in the presets channel.

AX8 I/O question

I'm playing an event this weekend with IEM's but I won't have PSM mixing capabilities. Monitor mix will be from FOH. As such, I'm going to run the monitor feed into a Rolls headphones amp from one line and my AX8 into the other line so I can have a bit of control on my feed. I typically run...

Tone/effects chasing

What's that effect the lead guitarist is using to get that tone at about 14:41 in the vid below? Kinda sounds a bit like a octofuzz but maybe more of a pitch effect w/ a filter on it or something? Can anyone give me some tips at approaching something like that? Clip should start at the point in...

Workflow for audition prep - recommendations needed

TL;DR: need some app/workflow recommendations for an audition I'm prepping for. I'm auditioning within the next couple weeks for a gig I really want to get. It will be a challenging audition and gig (if I get it) but I want the challenge as a player. I'm looking for recommendations on iPad...

One thing I miss about pedals...

...is being able to do this with delays (vid should start at where the point of reference is)... Has anyone figured out a way to do this live with the AX8? Side note: I. Love. This. Tone! Particularly the solo earlier than the referenced point in the above clip. Anyone want to help a brother...

Preset or Template: What's the difference?

I've looked around for this but haven't been able to pin it down. What is the difference between exporting a preset and saving a template? For bonus points, what is a a preset-cab bundle? I think I know the answer to that last question but don't know how to articulate it. Thanks!

DIY Expression Pedal

I saw recent on one of the Fractal Audio Facebook groups from a guy who'd built his own expression pedal from an old wah pedal. I asked how he did that but didn't get a response and would like to do that with a couple old wah pedals I'm not using anymore. I Googled around and found this on...

Preset request: The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love

Does anyone have preset(s) for this you'd be willing to share? This would be for use on an AX8, would use the fractool to convert if necessary.

difference between exporting a preset and a cab bundle?

I've looked around for this but can't seem to find it. When exporting, what's the difference between just exporting a preset and exporting a bundle? I'm playing on an AX8 this weekend that's not mine but would like my preset on it. I tried this a couple weeks ago when i exported a bundle from...

Assigning Expression 1 to params on multiple blocks

I only have one expression pedal (EV-1). Most of what I play lends my use of it to a Volume block so I can do swells. However, I want to use it on a Pitch block as well on a preset for a Whammy controller with X for 1 oct up and Y for 1 oct down. Is there a way for me to set it without using...

What would you do (buying AX8 used)?

I have an opportunity to get an AX8 for $250 off new. It's still got slightly more than 10 months on the factory warranty. Since the warranty isn't transferable, the seller is willing to let me go through him for service if ever needed. He's local to me. I'm very tempted but being a tech guy by...

How do you power your AX8 boards?

I'm getting rid of all my other pedals and a couple amps to fund the purchase of an AX8. Wondering if I should keep my Voodoo Lab PP2+ or my MXR ISO Brick though for powering the AX8. Or should I just get a power strip and leave well enough alone?
