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...

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...

Missing the caps to my foot switches?

I was playing a gig a few weeks ago, and in the middle of the show I thought I saw something shiny pop up. At the end of the gig I noticed I lost the small cap to the foot switch. I never found where it went, but I pulled out my board again last night and noticed I am missing another cap the a...

XY Delay Spill over?

Is there a way to keep the spill over when bouncing between the X and Y settings on a delay patch? I notice that when I go from my solo scene back to a rhythm scene it cuts the long delays off.

Live Gig Video: Electric and Acoustic all through the AX8

As promised, I have a couple songs from my show last Friday. We set up in 96 Degree weather with 100% humidity for a 6pm start time for a 4 hour gig. 10 minutes before we were to start playing a storm rolled in, so we had to shut everything off move everything, and Tarp everything we could...

Sounding better and better each day!

I have been running my AX8 for about 3 weeks now. When it first arrived, I had 4 days to get it all set for a gig. Turned out pretty good. I am constantly going back into the editor and fixing things, trying different cabinets or amps. Now I am my own worst critic and am never satisfied with...

Marshall 1987x compression issue

I am running a patch using the Bright input on the Marshall 1987x model. I have it set pretty clean (think Bryan Adam's Cuts like a knife tone). But when I dig into the strings, it really compresses for a second and then releases and the volume comes back in. Now this is something this amp...

Sweet power cables for AX8 pedalboards

So I took a chance on these power cables and I was really impressed with them. I thought I would share the find with all you fine people! These IEC cables (regular power cable) have right angle ends on each side and are perfect for fitting in tight spots. Really thick power cables too. As...

Best Acoustic IRs?

I want to add an acoustic preset for my Taylor. I was looking at acoustic IR's and the only ones I have seen are the the 3 Sigma presets. They sound fantastic, but I was curious if anyone has any others they have used and really enjoyed.

EP1 or SP1

What does everyone prefer for the AX8? I have an older EP1, I have been thinking about upgrading to an SP1 as the auto engage function of the wah is not what I was hoping for. It keeps shutting off when I get close to the top of the sweep. I am not a huge Wah guy, but it has its moments where...

Missing tube amps or just a bad gig??

I am still not sure if I was just having an off night of if I am missing good quality tube amps? The last couple shows have just been a bit off for me. My guitar does not have any sustain and just seems to be really thin sounding when I listen to the recording from the night. I think the...

I love you, but I hate you!

Just when you FINALLY find a new killer tone and it starts sounding exactly the way you wanted, get it all dialed in, but then you hear your other sounds and now THEY sound like crap! AAHHHH!! This is pretty much what I will be doing on the rest of my day off today...

A/B block? How can I do this?

I would really like to be able to have an AB block set up at the beginning of my signal chain. What I am trying to do is to have something that can split my signal away from my amps for my acoustic line. I have an electric guitar with a piezo bridge and a 2 way toggle switch to split what...

Acoustic patch sounds great!

So I made some new mods on my strat last week and I was pretty amazed at how good it turned out! I put the Ghost Piezo pickup system in by Graph Tech. I run completely through the Axe FX and do have a powered monitor that only has my guitar signal, the rest is in the in ears. So I built an...

Happened again!! Lost another spring on my MFC switch

This makes #3. Went to work on some material and another footswitch is not working today (worked fine last night, and never moved it today). I can hear the little tiny spring rolling around inside the casing. So now I have to take the whole thing apart again and either reattach the spring or...

When using the MFC 101 live, I have issues with hitting the bank up and down buttons on accident. I have size 13 shoes and sometimes hit two buttons and once which isn't a huge deal. Except if that button is the bank up or down. Next thing I know I am in the middle of a song and can't get...

Help with my Wah pedal

Okay, I thought to help I would include a screen shot so you can see exactly how I have it set up. The wah pedal turns on or off but auto engage, however, it turns on and off at about 50% not at the 5% like I have it at. When I use it, it sounds like it is only at the heal position or of...

MFC springs under the footswitches
