    FRFR recommendations - Trying to get guitar feedback

    I am sorry if I am bringing up a topic that has been beaten to death, but I have had my AX8 for over a year (I have also owned the AXE FX II for two years and the Helix for about 8 months before getting the AX8) and gig about 40 gigs with it. Loving the sounds, but there is one thing that I...

    Tap Tempo / Tuner issue

    So I have been having a lot of issues with the Tap Tempo button triggering the tuner during live gigs. I like making sure the delay trails match the tempo of the song, so I use it a lot. About 2 or 3 times a gig, it goes into tuner mode and mutes my guitar. Can I switch the tuner hold to one...

    Solo Boost: sounds great in IEM but soundman says it's not enough boost

    Cutting through the mix isn't about volume as you may think. Most guitars have a scooped tone, by pushing back some of those mid's you will cut through the mix with out needing as much volume. I have two things going on for my solo boosts. The first is about a 1db boost of the master volume...

    Tricked out my pedalboard with USB extension and lights!

    Yes, I got mine on ebay for like $2 but it took forever for shipping (over a month), so spend $4 and buy one from the US, but amazon and ebay have them. Mine is about 50cm (18ish inches)

    Tricked out my pedalboard with USB extension and lights!

    I gig out with my pedalboard a lot and like many of you, had to mount it to a pedalboard. Which is great except when you want to edit or make changes and you can't get to the USB port. I have been looking at this for a while and finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the $2 with free...

    AX8 Sale

    I noticed that most of the time when they were on sale, they were usually on back order. Sure, you can save money, but you didn't get it right away either. When they were back ordered at $1099, they were selling used for $1200 on Reverb. Still a solid deal at $1299 and in my opinion, better...

    Good Case for AX8 ??

    I see a lot of people using lap top bags. I use a Pedaltrain Novo 24 which is 2 inches deeper than a Pedaltrain 2. With a PT2 you can easily put an expression pedal. I have a couple extra things on mine, so I needed a bit more room.

    AX8 Foot Switch Tops

    AX8 for acoustic guitar AND vocals, possible?

    You physically can do it, but I think there are better solutions for what you are looking for. Maybe a TC Helicon rack mount Vocal Live Rack. You can use the AX8 to send midi commands to it. Of course you would be taking away from the instant access buttons to send midi commands.
