    I can't get to work FX Loop on AX8 with MATRIX GT1000FX 1U

    Place the fxloop block, like you did, but AFTER the amp block! After the fxloop block, delete those blocks (geq and Vol, or put them on that row but before the loop block). Do not connect that row back to the bottom row after the fxloop block!

    Thinking of buying a backup AX8 for my main AX8 this Boxing Day.... Need advice.

    Enjoy your AX8! Use it, don’t abuse it! If the day comes that it stops working… well, shopping for new gear is cool! Just keep an eye out for a good deal on a used FM3, just in case!

    The AX8…

    … section of the forum, where is it? I just wanted to say that the AX8 still is an amazing, capable piece of equipment but didn’t know where to post it. Anyone else here a fan of FAS’ first floor modeler? I like that I don’t have to update or keep up with the latest! Ps-Mods, feel free to move...

    Any headless guitar player up in here?

    I’ve only used Strandberg strings on my OS7 since 2015 with zero problems or complaints! They even have remained consistent in quality and price through the years! I order them straight from their site. I really wish Fender/Squier, Gibson/Epiphone would get into it with their own headless designs.

    One expensive guitar or several inexpensive ones?

    Why not 3-5 great guitars? Great doesn’t have to be expensive! I like different “tools” for different “jobs”. You know… humbuckers, single coils, Emg’s, seven strings, acoustic… for me they have different applications. 👍

    Dual CLR’s or Dual Powercab 112 plus? Help me decide...🤔

    Recommendations needed to run my AX8 through my Mesa 2x12

    I've used EHX Magnum 44, Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 and Matrix GT1000. They all work fine, have advantages/disadvantages. It's a matter of budget and intended application.
