    Looper and Preset Changes

    Hello fellow FX8ers - got a question on looping and hope you can help. I'm wondering how many present changes I can make without losing my recorded loop? Example - I start on preset A and record a loop. While it is playing back I go to preset B - no problem - loop is playing and I can play on...

    FX8 -Discontinued?

    Not to hi-jack this thread but it is mind blowing that the market doesn't support continuing the FX8. This product is the end all be all for electric guitar players that want to use effects into an amp. I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but this thing is so amazing. I can't imagine...

    Looper Question

    Hello friends, I have a question I need help with. I'm playing a loop that has a particular eq and modulation setting and I'd like to switch scenes and play over that loop. Problem is I need a different eq and no modulation setting but the 2nd scene colors the original loop from scene 1. Is...

    Cable for channel switching?

    Hey Folks - wondering what type of cable I should get to plug my amp's foot switch/channel changer to the FX8? I'm guessing an instrument cable isn't what I want? Thanks for the tips!

    Tips for modeling my favorite drives? (SL Drive, Sovereign, Timmy)

    Interesting question. I only know the Timmy as I have one, so can't comment on the tone of the others. I'm guessing here, but maybe you'd have luck using EQs and compressors along with some of the drives in the FX8 to get you where you need to be?

    Effortless pinch harmonics?

    I'm realizing I didn't make myself clear. I have no problems performing pinch harmonics. It is a big part of my style. It is more a question of what effects make them pop and sustain. For instance, when I play through my amp's dirty channel they sound ok. When I went and played an EVH 5150...

    Effortless pinch harmonics?

    Anybody had success setting up the right effects to get effortless pinch harmonics? This is a bit of a holy grail to me as I can't get where I want with my pedal board. I'm hoping the FX8 can get me there.

    Another Wait list question

    Jeremiahzellers speaks truth. I panicked myself because I was not willing to take my time and tweak - and I sold my FX8. I ended up with sellers remorse and am back on the waiting list to buy it again (yes, I suffer from GAS insanity). I'm actually very excited this time around because I've...

    Highest gain drive

    Which drive on the FX8 is the highest gain? Like Mesa Throttle Box or Bogner Uberschall Pedal drive territory?

    FX8 with atomic amplifire ?

    Just curious, do the drives in the FX8 alone tickle your fancy? Or do you want the amp sims?

    Volume pedal control

    Thanks wolbai, it does make sense. I'm starting to think that maybe I should go Axe for the lowish volume home playing I want to do. Does Fractal have a finance option? ;)

    Volume pedal control

    True, I've flirted with that path in the past, but I've heard people have had reasonable success with volume pedals (which is a much more affordable option). Was wondering how it would work out through the FX-8.

    Volume pedal control

    One drawback that still exists with my love of tube amps is the need to get loud for good tone. For night time playing I need to scale back but I get the fizz tone. I don't have the EV-1 but am wondering if this is a good option for me? Can I get the amp to good tone and scale back with the...

    Definitions?

    When using my laptop, is there a "best" way to turn the virtual knobs? I'm using my arrow keys right now, wonder if folks have better feel with a mouse or something else.

    Definitions?

    You're not cool. I have better words for you but don't want to be banned.

    Definitions?

    I've found so many options to tweak on the FX8, but I'm not even sure what most of the "knobs" do. Is there a place I can get definitions of what everything is? For example when I go into advanced mode for an effect, I feel overwhelmed with all the different options and what they are there for.

    Where to place my dirt pedal

    Got the FX8 - awesome. Got a dirt pedal - awesome too. Where is it best to place it? Before the FX or after (on the way to amp input)?

    Got an Axe II XL, do I need an FX8?

    But is it the same, that's the question I have. Is one better (sound wise, not function or easy wise) than the other? May be hard to answer considering FX8 is not out yet.

    Got an Axe II XL, do I need an FX8?

    If I have an XL, is there any reason to believe the FX8 will perform better when using 4cm with my tube amp rig? I can do 4cm with the Axe and get the same effect (no pun intended) right?

    I am going Axe-Fx II - what do I need?

    Hey Ron - to control volume on powered cabinets, do you have to do it on the cabinet itself or is there a remote option?

    I'm not easily finding how many there are in the Axe. Any insight? I see OD, Fuzz, what other types?

    I am going Axe-Fx II - what do I need?

    That's good insight Gamedojo. I had no idea you could run it through a stereo rig. I've got a Sony ES with B&W tower speakers - I'm assuming that would work. Just such a paradigm shift for me.

    Drives?

    Do we know how many different distortion options there will be with FX8? I see in the Larry Mitchell YouTube clips at least 2. Any more?

    I am going Axe-Fx II - what do I need?

    I'm a newbie, and I've been researching going digital for some time now. I have decided on Axe-Fx II and have no doubt I will be happy with the choice. What I am looking for here is recommendations on how to set it up at home and live. At home - I will go the power amp FRFR speaker path...

    AXE FX II or FX8?

    I dig the processed guitar sound. With that said, my question is this: Am I better off starting from scratch and getting an Axe Fx II and associated gear or will the FX8 with my current set up (65 Amps Whiskey w/active loop) get me there. I'm not interested in tons of amp tones, I really like my...
