    Is it necessary/recommended to turn off cab sim while playing live through my cabinet?

    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    I set my I/O Out 1 to +4.0 dBu. Running into a FRFR or effects loop of amp I have plenty of volume. The AX8 Out 1 is set around 1130 or 12. Just fired up the AX8 and loaded the Savageness Preset. Lots of volume. EMGs batteries aren't going bad?

    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    OK. Trying to start from the source instead of focusing straight to the amp. Did you try another preset to hear if there is a volume difference? Have you connected the AX8 to a computer after all these years and check your I/O setting? How does the AX8 sound through your home system? Does your...

    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    Either there is something wrong with the "new" Matrix, bad cables, or blocks in the the AX8 are causing it. Post your AX8 preset for a look.
  6. Habuman

    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    The Matrix should be loud enough. I would also check your AX8 grid chain and output levels in the grid for anything that is limiting the volume to the output of the AX8.

    Any way to convert these to work for AX8??

    Do it. I still have the AX8 and recently gigged with it…just because. The AX8 still is on many stages around the world. Great piece of gear that still holds its own.

    Using AX8 with a tube amp (current FX8 User)

    You can set up scenes to have as many effects on or off as you want within the grid layout and as long as CPU does not max out. Scene 1 can be compressor, delay, drive Scene 2 can be reverb, flanger, PEQ Etc. When in doubt RTM. 😀

    Using AX8 with a tube amp (current FX8 User)

    Believe it is not possible without an external source since you are using all the inputs and outputs of the AX8. Not sure if this will get you there but in the video @2112 is demonstrating the 4CM paired up with a Fractal X-Load.

    Best Way to EQ Ear Piercing Frequency?

    Probably the headphones but since you wrote that you think your ToneX had the same issue I think it is something in the chain from the SSL to the IRs. Any PEQ adjustments from the Fractal chain probably won’t help. How does it sound direct from the III?

    Question about Out 1 volume level

    My first thought is that the Atomic Reactor 18 clipped out. The AX8 volume knob does not have a limit or level off at a certain point. Your presets are not to complex where you exceed CPU on the AX8?

    My reaction after taking a break

    If it works and sounds good to you that is the important part, whether FAS or the Helix. Most of my presets are wah-effect-drive-amp-cab-effect-delay-reverb. Just like I did before when lugging around a real amp/cab. Sometimes taking a step back and looking at what you need and use surprises us.

    FM3 to FM9 to FM3?

    Haven't switched. I have both. Same presets across both platforms with the exception of having more effects loaded on the FM9. Use the FM3 or FM9 depending on the stage. Tonight I have a gig where the stage space is limited (at least on my side), so will use the FM3.

    AX8 through power amp and cab - thin and very harsh

    Maybe the Crown amp has an issue. Does everything sound thin and harsh though it? Or a bad cable? Or is the Wah block engaged by accident? I sometimes use a ISP Stealth Ultra-Lite into a 2x12. The sound is big and full. I also keep the Cab block on.

    As @Rex wrote above it might be the cable but also check the Wah block settings. If you want Wah to activate when rocked forward set it to 5% (heel down is off) or when rocked back set to 95% (toe down is off). Set auto-engage as needed.

    Exactly how did that happen? Downloading presets only goes to a download folder or a folder you specify on the computer. It is not going to automatically upload to your AXE III without importing or saving. Interesting. Hopefully, you recently did a backup that has those two overwritten presets.
