    Wish Displaying Setlist on Device Screen

    I'm in my first couple of days with my FM3 for my cover band and really need the setlist/song feature to work - I'm still not very clear on how to set up the footswitch commands to do what I want as cleanly as I know it probably can - that said, when I'm that view/mode - it would be much better...

    AX8 speakers

    If you go the way of FRFR or similar speakers you will cab sim turned on because the point of the FRFR technology is that the speaker will not (by design) be imparting any color to the sound so that in theory your AX8 patch will sound as you have designed (effects, amp, cab, etc). If you're...

    Line 6 Powercab 212 Plus

    Had no idea the Mission's were that high...seems a bit crazy for a power/amp cab - I get the DSP, etc...but with the AX8 or any other fractal gear the IR's are going to be far better than L6 DSP so what are you paying $1400 for? Its almost 2x their 1x12, economy of scale seems way off. Just my...

    You don't use the editor (AxeEdit) for firmware updates, you use FractalBot - simply down the sysx. file (firmware 10.01) to a location you can find easily. Connect your AX8 via usb to computer (power it all up) open FractalBot - select input as AX8 it will confirm with all is good. When...

    Question about FRFR choices!

    Sure thing! Yes, I have Alto TS212s they are fantastic for the price (here in the US they are approx $249/ea) I'll assume much more expensive in Brazil, I can't compare them to the Yamaha's as I've not used one but I can compare them to the current forum favorite Atomic CLR which I had...

    FRFR Expert Knowledge and Advice

    Though I'm not gigging heavily - it has been great thus far. I have used it for a few house parties for music playback as well. Frankly for $249 its a ridiculous value.
  10. Dazzl1113

    Question about FRFR choices!

    A big part of the decision is what is your application? Are you playing live or home player. Typically live you wouldn't need two unless you are using one for backline and the other for personal monitor. Main reason for two is to enjoy stereo at home. All that said you should really try to...

    AX8 input level leds

    I know it doesn't specifically state it in the current FW notes, but AX8 input gain was definitely affected by the FW. My main two guitars an Ibanez Jem with Evo's required a pad of 6db/almost 12db as did my EMG 66/81 axe...now I barely get the red with it down to zero.
  60. Dazzl1113

    Posible bug!!!

    This was confirmed by multiple sources a week or two ago, including myself, however it never received comments from moderators of Fractal. Perhaps they're not too concerned because there is such a limited likelihood that anyone would ever use that model with the gain at zero LOL

    Just askin'..

    You need to save it in block format (.blk) from AxeFx, then you can import the preset to AX8 edit and import the blocks. Then rebuild the preset with those blocks. The presets themselves do not cross in their native format, this process is described in the AX8 manual p. 91

    Bug? Defect?: Strange sounds with some high gain presets

    Confirmed only on Angle Severe preset. Not every time. Seems to happen more often if you quickly pull the drive knob down. I get it to stop by simply bringing the drive knob back up. No other presets show this behavior of the 8 others in this bank, nor the bank above or below.

    My frfr cab arrives today, hope I don't hate it.

    I agree fully - it took me awhile to adjust as well with my CLR, but it just clicked, we were mic'd anyway, so my cab feel was for me only, really. So I just realized why not hear/play exactly what the audience is going to get anyway and save the loadout hassle.

    Global exp pedal volume with Dly/Rev spillover?

    Based on my read through, it appears "spillover" is only between presets. If you want it within the preset you will need to put a volume block in the location of the chain that would then allow the spillover.
