    So far it's been great but have a couple questions since this my first time using a power amp with my AXE FX II 1). I should turn on power amp first and turn off last after turning off AXE, correct? 2). I read the wiki and it mentioned to have power amp modeling turned on when using a power...

    amp relay

    Im looking to get a mfc 101 and blend a axefx II with another amp. I'm assuming the "switches" inputs on the back do relay switching for amps similar to the relay inputs on an FX8. Correct? Thanks

    Different tone between exact same presets

    Yes. Levels vary but scene 5 is at 0 Yes. i have relays set but channels match across the board. Scene 5 is dirty using a rockerver100 so no additional boost or anything. Just simple clean/dirty. Its strange cause it is noticeable difference on my end

    Different tone between exact same presets

    Scene 5 default. Brave One sounds better than the other two when on drive channels. Wyldfire and HeavyHand sound the same to me. Ive tried this on two amps with the same results. Brave one sounds bigger.

    Different tone between exact same presets

    I can't explain this but I've noticed a slight difference in tone between three of my presets. I notice this on my default scene and the only block I have active is a FAS Boost and the settings match on the block for all presets. Same with the configuration, levels, true bypass etc. I've even...

    Mesa F50 channel switching

    I have a Mesa F50 combo and my footswitch connects with a 5pin cable. You should be able to get a customer cable made for it to work. I ended up doing that for my VHT PITTBULL and it worked out great. Check out Bestronics. BTPA.com

    Can't get Axe Edit to connect

    I don't but I also don't see my FX8 there when I am connecting to FX8 edit. I've tried two usb cables. Also, I'm not trying to connect to both units but just troubleshooting and seeing that I can still connect to FX8 edit through USB. I have a output 1 XLR to my interface and USB to my computer.

    For those who bought a Trailer Trash Board...

    I'm not certain of the exact dimensions. I'll have to measure. This board is specifically made for the FX8 / AX8 with (2) EV1s, nothing else can be added to the board. They do make bigger boards though. Check out their site.
  23. Beardstorm

    For those who bought a Trailer Trash Board...

    Sorry this took so long. Here they are. There are half-way pre-drilled holes on the back of the board giving you the option to put EV1s on either the left or right of the FX8 along with (1) on each side.

    Hey guys, It is a board with predrilled holes depending on how you want to layout FX8 / EV1s (i.e. left of unit or right, or one on each side). Then they include longer screws with washers to secure the units to the board.It then lays snuggled in the bottom of the lift off case. I'll try to...
