    MAB Shred Tone

    I went through this thoroughly. I actually met MAB and he let me hold a guitar while he positioned my hand the way he picks. It doesn't feel natural to me. I know techinique-wise he will be difficult to copy.

    MAB Shred Tone

    All, What effects does he have on his guitar to make it so pronounced? Example is at :26-:41, is it pitch shifted? Obviously there is delay, but what kind? How do I recreate this sound with the AX8? What kind of amp model would I go with? I like this sound for playing in my bedroom...

    Superstition Clav

    I found this: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/quiz-how-did-i-do-it.49151/#post-638069 but I think it's for the AXE FXII and AX8 is missing some of the necessary blocks

    Superstition Clav

    I usually try to create patches instead of asking for help, but this one I don't really even know where to start. The Clav that is played throughout is a punchy, filtered, staccato, cleanish sound. I can get a little of it with a telecaster bridge and using my fingers to really snap the...

    Bug? Expression Pedals Stop Working

    Yeah but it happened to both pedals at the exact same time. I tried 3 and 4 and same issue. I can check the voltage across the tip and sleeve, but these had been working for about a year. I moved my AX8 to another board and plugged them back and they are gone.

    Bug? Expression Pedals Stop Working

    Has this happened to anybody before? I have a a mission pedal and Fractal Volume pedal plugged in and they both stopped working. I tried using the calibrate function to see the sweep it moved intermittently. Not sure what's going on here. Should I upgrade the software? Anybody have this issue?

    My frfr cab arrives today, hope I don't hate it.

    Can somebody tell me what "amp in the room" sounds like? (without saying like an amp in the room) Is it the power, feeling the bass hitting you, what is it? Maybe because I live in a condo sharing walls, playing through smaller amps, it's difficult to distinguish between FRFR and 100W amp...

    Have You Used your Axe-FX II for Gigs since getting the AX8?

    I am one of those that was looking for the AX8 only to gig with. It sits in my bag after the gig and doesn't move until the next. I practice with my AXE FX II at home. The redundancy let's me make changes and port them over if I need to, but I practice with a rig that sounds the same as the...

    First Gig with AX8

    I can answer the first part, yes you could use the on/off for blocks specific to that preset for 6-8. I like to keep some of the same fx I use in each preset at the same button (i.e. 8 would be chorus on every preset). I'm pretty sure X/Y you can get just by holding down one of those 6-8...

    Acoustic Simulation

    I noticed the bass heaviness, but I used the single coil on my guitar so it sounds just right. I agree the patch isn't overly complicated. Maybe I can mess around with one of the pick attack parameters and dial it in then. Anyway, thanks for sharing this patch it's my go to acoustic

    Anybody popped the hood on an AX8?

    As mentioned earlier, is it possible for the support bar to be removed? Switches 6 and 7 aren't as easy to access. Not a big problem, and no big deal if it's difficult, just wanted to see if I had that option

    AX8 Edit

    So I took his cab "taylorXXXXX" from the Scratchpad1 slot and renamed it to "Acoustic" and picked U001 as the location. I saw it save there, but when I turned the unit on the U001 location was labeled as empty. That's what it looks like Yek was talking about doing.

    Too high demand for FAS products?

    Also, that learning curve will require somebody to train, which will slow production down some more. He chose to go this route, let him run his business the way he wants to. You are still going to buy it today or tomorrow or 3 months from now

    Too high demand for FAS products?

    No Global Blocks ?

    Don't you guys sound check before a show? How many leads do you need? You can systematically increase all levels, so the only time I would see the need is if they aren't popping enough. I think you could determine that before a sound check, then adjust before you actually hit the stage.

    When you do reach the max, the last block you put in disappears and leaves a break between blocks. So you need to make sacrifices in order to keep it under 100%.

    Lag on the AX8 when switching presets.

    I did notice this while using presets. The "lag" or audio change is definitely apparent when compared to MFC and AXE II, and I am not plugged into the computer via USB. It's not bad enough to really be a concern live with 2 guitar players.
