    Axe-Fx 3 as mixer?

    Currently I have an AX8 running through a digital mixer. I only have one guitar, one microphone and one keyboard going through the mixer. Could I use the AxeFx 3 for all? Could I put the microphone into one input, guitar into another and keys into a third bypassing the need for the mixer? Could...

    Guitar -> Bass

    Hello and happy weekend! I am trying to get my Martin acoustic guitar to sound like a bass. I have employed the FAS bass amp + F111: 4x10 SV bass M88. then I am using the pitch block to lower the pitch by an octave. It's close, but still sounds a bit weird. Any help is much...

    My best so far

    Good morning! I have been a 80% happy Fractal guy for 5 years. For me the Holy Grail would be amp in the room from my FRFR's. I know all the reasons this doesn't happen, but I will never stop searching. Anyway, I made a few tweaks yesterday and I feel like I have found my best sounding...

    A/D, D/A, A/D, D/A?!?!

    Hey y'all I run my guitar into a digital wireless unit, then into the AX8, then into a digital mixer. Am I getting my sonic butt kicked with all the A/D/A/D transitions? Thanks,

    Lead with acoustic

    Saw my friend's band last night and woke up inspired. So many awesome features in the AX8, but I never thought I would be able to get a real lead sound from my acoustic. Hope you enjoy.

    sun tan lotion

    Was out on my boat all day Friday, then had to sprint to a gig without a shower (gross I know) Anyway, in the first set, the sun came out and so did the sweat! The sun tan lotion from my arm dripped onto the face of my Martin and took all the finish off of my guitar. Gonna be a big $ to...

    Sticking buttons - solved

    My #1 had become tough to push and I just lived with it. One day I was in the garage and saw my can of silicon spray. Applied a tiny spray to the side of the the button and then pushed it up and down while rotating it for about 30 seconds. It is better than brand new now, like butter. I have no...

    Trey from Phish octave tone

    Hi guys, I am a huge Phish fan and their guitar player Trey Anastasio is always tweaking his analog / midi system. He is on tour now with his side band and is using this effect a lot. Any advice how to achieve this with my AX8? Approx 5 minute mark it really comes out, but he is using it...

    Barefoot buttons on a budget

    I play in socks all the time in my office and as you know, the AX8 buttons suck with socks. Wanted barefoot buttons but didn't want to pay that much. Got these from Amazon, 10 for $10, took about a month to arrive from China, but they work very well.

    Acoustic overdrive

    With the help of the facebook forum, I was able to make some awesome over drive sounds when I plug my acoustic into the AX8. PI Fuzz -> Badger 18, amazing sustain. I am using a feedback buster however. If you have an acoustic lying around, give it a shot.

    Digitech Trio

    Happy 2018 everyone! Weeks ago, I posted that I got a Digitech Trio pedal from Sweetwater for $50. Since then I have had a chance to use it a lot more. Think of it as a looper but instead of spitting back your guitar sound, it creates a drum and bass backing track based on what you...

    Digitech Trio live

    Happy new year y'all Santa brought me a Digitech Trio for Xmas and I decided to try it out live Saturday night. Basically think of the Trio as a looper but instead of looping the guitar sound, it makes drums and bass only. I am a solo acoustic act and have always used a looper which I still...

    X/Y different controllers

    Wish X/Y states of the same block could have different controllers. For example, X state of Wah block could have the envelope controller for mutton effect. The Y state could be controlled by my foot switch rocker pedal. So for me in real time, to have both a auto wah and a traditional foot...

    Looper controls on main FS page

    I want to put REC, PLY and DUB looper controls on my main FS page. It seems like a possible fix so I don't have to go to looper reveal page back and forth all night long. I only use a few switches on my FS page, so these would fit no problem. thank you for your consideration

    Looper controls

    I still don't understand why I can't have looper controls (rec, play, dub) as switches on the main foot switch panel. I only really use 3 scenes, so I have plenty of switches left over. What's the problem? Seems like an easy software fix.

    Stand alone FX loop block

    Hi, If I have a FX Loop block alone in the middle of the field with no "cables" at all, shouldn't it be able to pass through a signal from FX Return to Send. (In 2 to Out 2)? Thanks,

    Vocals through AX8

    I have a digital mixer that I have the toughest time getting vocals to sound right. Just as an experiment, I put the microphone into the FX return, then had it join my acoustic guitar chain to hit only the EQ, reverb, optical 2 comp and enhancer blocks. Now the vocals are awesome. I am...

    Hi all, Today is a new guitar day for me. After a million years of only owning a hollow body double hum bucker guitar, I got a cheap HSS strat today. The quackiness of the single coils is pretty cool, I am having fun with it. Do y'all have any suggestions for a patch that can do both the...

    Custom expression rotary

    My father is a skilled metal worker, and just delivered to me a 2 knob expression pedal. I have it hooked into expression inputs 3 and 4 on the AX8. they are used to control levels of delay and reverb. Perfect size for the Temple Audio medium mounting plate. I think it looks super...

    Wholly Roller loop volume

    Just an update if you read my last post on the Boomerang Wholly Roller. I do a lot of looping and before moving to the Axe Fx 2 then to the AX8 I loved my old Boomerang looper. I then realized the thing I missed the most about my Rang was the wheel that controlled only the volume of the...

    Wholly Roller

    Happy holidays y'all! I love my AX8 but I do sort of miss my Boomerang. Specifically the roller loop volume control. Boomerand sells this by itself called the Wholly Roller. Can I use the Wholly Roller as an expression pedal to adjust the volume of the loop only? And if so, what parameter...

    Reverb / CPU band aid fix

    Been using the built in reverb in my Behringer X-Air 12 mixer. Now that I don't have a reverb block in my AX8, I never worry about CPU anymore. Now my problem is that I don't have enough foot switches. The fix for that is to have them all as scenes I suppose.

    AX8 - 2 Wahs?

    Looper volume control - Boomerang

    Hi, Before my move to Axe Fx, my old rig contained the Boomerang looper. On the left side of the looper there is a roller. This controlled the volume of the loop while leaving the live signal alone. I love the axe fx looper but as it goes, sometimes it's too loud and sometimes too...
