    Looking to build a first guitar with no experience....saw STEWMAC.

    If you want to end up with a decent home built guitar, you're going to need to learn a decent list of fundamentals as well as aquire tools (as stated). Do you do your own setups now? If no, I'd start there. Sometimes that can lead you into other skills that will be required for a build from...

    FASPICE XD for AX8?

    Maybe Cliff discovered this while trying to cram Ares into the AX8 and realized it was good for everything including the III so he updated the flagship first and the AX8 will get FASPICE XD too!? 🤞

    Is there a routing method to have 2 mono fx loops instead of single stereo loop?

    I’m thinking if someone wanted to run a couple of outboard pedals in the loop, it could be done parallel. One pedal connected L and one R. Assuming the loop block has pan controls (not in front of my AX8 at the moment), they could use a scene controller on the pan modifier and choose how much L...

    Adjusting the curve of the "Global Volume Pedal"?

    You probably know already that you can copy and paste a volume block with expression pedal to each of your presets for a very small cpu hit. This will give you full control over the pedal curve. But don’t forget to do all of your adjustments before you do all of the copy and pasting

    How to assign Loopers REC & PLY Function on Footswitch Preset Page

    You can use the looper switch but that will take you to another page with all of the looper controls vs instant access to rec and play. Only one extra step though.

    How to assign Loopers REC & PLY Function on Footswitch Preset Page

    You can use an external switch to trigger MIDI cc28 and cc29 to control the looper record and play functions. See page 69, 74 of AX8 manual for more info.

    Newbie with a quick question about boosting solos...

    The boost will be heard at FOH and at your stage cab as long as the block that you are using for the boost is before the FX loop branches off and also in the chain going to the FOH output. If you’re using the delay block for the boost and it’s after the FX loop branch (mine is typically after...

I THINK...

    AX8 Power?

    I don’t power mine that way but if you trust the specs on the VL @ 200 watts and you trust the published specs on the AX8 @ <40 watts power consumption you should be good to go (with a 5x safety margin).
  17. Molekiller

    Carrying case?

    Yes, I have a Moog EP3 that fits easily in the pocket on the front left and I’m pretty sure I could fit two. The down side is that you can fit so much in this bag that it gets heavy. I upgraded to a industrial strength, nonslip strap.

    AX8 Footswitch Configuration ..... is this possible (?)

    Yes, you can do this. I think the presets have to be in the same bank. But you could have the same in multiple banks.

    Carrying case?

    Looks like Menards may be discontinuing these. Other sources still showing upon search but a little more expensive. I got one for $50 (now $42 at Menards) and thought that was a good deal. Been using mine for a over a year now. Great bag for the AX8.

    Hopes somewhat dashed........

    I think I remember reading on the forum somewhere that FAS intentionally designed the AX8 with sharcs instead of tiger sharcs because they didn’t require a fan and would avoid ingesting church floor dust, beer, mosh pit debris, etc. I think that makes a lot of sense and if true, I’m thinking any...

    Is there a negative to using Cab block Level for solo boost? How do you create your boost for solos?

    I remember the scene level method falling out of favor for some (@smitfar) due to its effect on reverb and delay tails (if in use). I think if you control the level of the whole scene, the tail volume jumps up or down as soon as you change scenes. If you have any other block (filter, cab...

    Switch effect amount of one block while clicking on another???

    You could also use scenes like you were thinking but use X/Y on your reverb block. For instance, scene 3 that turns on your delay could also switch to reverb Y with the same single pedal touch (where reverb Y could be set for lower reverb mix).

    AX8 vs Axe-Fx III - 8 amps compared

    FAS Brown + 10 = Wow

    I'm starting to realize that the interaction between this bridge pickup and the amp models is where the magic is for me. I have a 4 way switch and the bridge only selection just sounds fantastic with these amp models I prefer an IR with some bite. F188 for instance. Many other factory IRs too.
