    FM9 Case?

    I'm using this very flimsy case from a brand called stag. It's a always-on so the FM9 is always inside. I've bolted everything trough the case so it's much stronger now but wondering how long it will last. At least is quite practical :D The shure wireless is fed through the Faslink output + I've...

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    Just a quick report back reg the hiss mod.. I've replaced all 3 TL084s with 4227s. All in all it took me around 45min max. Before that my FR10 hiss was pretty loud, now I can only hear it if I stuck my ear in the grill cloth so amazing result! Thanks all!

    CTL Switch vs Footswitch control

    AX8 V9.01 Public Beta

    As per title :) Can I assign a Control Switch to change delay sub-divisions? From what I see I can only define specific ms values and not sub-divisions (1/8, 1/4 etc) I was trying to get away with only 1 delay (no x/y) changing it's sub-division with a control switch. thanks!

    Powered Speaker solution - non-US Fractal owner

    Eu testei o K8 contra o DXR10 da Yamaha e o CLR. Em termos de grave seria DXR10 > K8 > CLR (menos grave - o que eu acho que faz muito mais sentido com guitarra). O k8 tem tb 3 opcoes pra grave.. eu sempre usei a opcao com menos grave pq era demais da conta :)

    Yep, it translates 100% .. I just think that at low volumes some extra thump is always helpful.

  47. cbellanga

    Atomic CLR

    Gosh that's good! I've been using a QSC K8 for some time with great results but the CLR feels like an AX8 extension.. everything just sounds just right out of the box + I'm not getting that mic'ed amp feeling anymore. Expensive but I definitely think it worth the cash, so much more fun now :)

    Assign booster and delay to F3 switch (Not a Bug)

    Very stupid question reg. Fletcher Munson effect

    For those waiting, what are you using?

    Agree! Had a FX-8 and eventually sold it as I couldn't get a good edge of break-up sound of it. My Tim pedal does that marvellously. I'm expecting to be able to get a more realistic tone now that I can use amp sim instead.

    FX8 and Axe-Fx II effects threads: Drives & Boosts (DRV)

    I was looking for something that doesn't colour the tone essentially. Conscious it's just my first week with the FX8 so will keep fine tuning it. Have the feeling that some of the harshness is also coming from how my amp is pointing directly at me so all those highs are piercing my ears :)
