    Ready to purchase III, but knowing my luck, a MK2 would probably show up soon...

    I totally understand the OP's feeling. My question is what would be in an improved Axe III MK II version? It seems that memory/horse power (the reason of the Axe II MK II upgrade) is no issue right now. OTHO the FX8 had a MK II version VERY fast!

    Any bedroom only players using an Axe-Fx 3?

    All you guys use the Axe with monitors then? Any adaptation needed from real amps?

    Any bedroom only players using an Axe-Fx 3?

    Hey guys, how do you former tube amp/band players hook your AxeFX III? Do you use a real cab? What do you do that keeps the "amp in the room feel/tone"? Thanks!

    Tone suck and cables - a cautionary tale

    I’ve never used the FX8 with humbuster cable because the regular cable always worked just fine with several amps (4CM). For me the FX8 was a dream come true with its zero tone suck feature, and I’m very picky about it! Very curious to read some people noticing a coloring of the sound, the only...

    FX8 V5.04 Released

    Just curious, the AXE family didn't have any update in FX recently? I mean, are there many pedal and quality to add to the FX8 from the AXE 3?

    FX-8 questions, drive models vs real, your thoughts

    Hi guys and gals, Can't say I'm happy with my drives either. Oddly enough when playing at home they can sound organic, but I experimented the "disappearing in the mix" situation with a band. Also the sound was thin and not powerful enough as I have achieved from other (and worse/cheaper)...

    Mesa Mark V - Nasal Sound with Low-End Loss with FX8

    Mark V has serial loop, and one of the best in the business! Not sure if the OP has done a factory reset in the FX8 and tried running the Mark V with patch cable in the loop.

    Mesa Mark V - Nasal Sound with Low-End Loss with FX8

    Hi there, I don't play CH2 that much but I didn't notice any tone suck either. I've played Mark V with Boss GT-10 for years with 4CM and had tone suck issues on CH3 like added "bottom end" and "loss of grain in the distortion". The workaround to minimize it was to lower the SEND level (around...

    Mesa Mark V - Nasal Sound with Low-End Loss with FX8

    I have a Mark V with the FX8 and could not be happier. I mainly purchased the FX8 due to its "ZERO TONE SUCK" features and the unit just delivers in spades! :):cool: Using 4CM here with factory presets.

    Do you supplement with external pedals?

    Wow why a tuner? I only use an always on external Booster/Drive to give my character to the tone. I made a preset to match my previous GT-10 sound and consumed only 30% of CPU :D

    5150/6505 Drive? Strymon stuff?

    The guy who did that series deserves a huge THANK YOU from everybody! I just started using FX8 Edit today and everything got way easier. Have you tried it?

    5150/6505 Drive? Strymon stuff?

    In terms of Delay and Reverb I understand Fractal is in the same league as Strymon. This video shows a lot about the delays: The only thing I am not sure is the shimmer on the Big Sky but others may chime in. About the drives I am still getting to know them but impressive so far. Best...

    NFD – Hello to the Fractal World [+why FX8 is the best for you]

    Hello, there! After almost 3 years lustering for a Fractal FX8 the day to be a proud owner of this units has arrived! First of all I would like to thank Sussi and the guys from G66 (great customer service!), and this great community that support members even when they are not sure to pull the...

    Help me decide FX8 or AX8

    Hi there! Any difference when using 4cable method with AX8 vs. FX8 (tone suck, treble loss, hiss)?

    Help me decide FX8 or AX8

    Hi guys, it's about time to decide! For my needs the FX8 is the way to go, specially with the current price point. My only concern is whether the FX8 could be shortly abandoned by Fractal and all the atentions be focused on improve modeling, and not so much the effects. In this scenario the...

    Thanks for the comments guys!!! If I don't use relays that much would you consider the AX8 a much better buy than the FX8?

    AX8 questions in 4CM

    Hi guys! Quick questions: Is AX8 noise in 4CM? I heard many complaints and the need for humbuster cables (which I don't get it)! What is the latency when switching in 4CM from a) AX8 only effects to b) AX8 being the preamp + effects? Best! zakkrhoads

    Afterall is FX8 noise or not in 4CM?

    Hi guys how are you? I have read tons of threads about this issue but came to no conclusion at all! Is the FX8 a noise unit in 4CM due to being powered by AC (external cord) and not DC? Why Fractal designed like that when you have no issue with other units (e.g. Boss GT-10)? Is humbuster really...

    Questions about AX8 v FX8

    Great thread! Does anybody have past experience with the Boss GT series? I'd like to to know if the tone loss between AX8 and Boss GT are similar in 4CM.

    So how is the AX8 with 4-cable?

    One of the doubts of many...how does the AX8 behave with 4-cable method? What about a comparison with the FX8 in this regard (flexibility, noise)? I know that FX8 specs are supposed to be better in this area but really want the opinion of the owners!

    AX8 with an amp

    Some pro-level players I know and myself have been using Boss GT series through 4CM with great success. I am really picky about tone suck and I assure you that it delivers major results for the price (95% transparency). Probably the FX8 gets you to the 100% transparency. I am hoping that the...

    Serious CPU Bottleneck, Spillover (again)

    Interesting thread. A couple of months ago I tried to understand some specifics about the FX8 hardware. The idea was to antecipate some potencial DSP bottlenecks and to know how far the unit could go in terms of "processing horse power". Comparing with the AxeFX marketing strategy, where FAS...

    Did you ever max out the processing power of the FX8?

    Sorry the TRS thing was just an assumption based on some information I've seen. Anyway would be great to know about hardware/chips specifics in a good topic like this! :ugeek

    Did you ever max out the processing power of the FX8?

    What would be the FX8 advantages besides the TRS relays? Will AX8 support 4cm?

    FX8 vs famous high-end pedals

    Thanks, everybody for the answers! The El Capistan and other tape/analog delays would be a tough match then...:cry Another questions: 1) Is the routing 100% flexible? Can I put the wah in the last block of the chain or the delay/reverb in the first block? 2) I understand it cannot do POG but...

    FX8 vs famous high-end pedals

    Hi guys, searching for an excuse to buy the FX8! :lol As an expensive and high-end unit, I want to really know if it can reach the quality level of some reference units and how hard is to tweak that sound! Unfortunately there is no youtube video review from the several channels that do gear...

    What will be the DSP chip?

    Thank you and everybody who has contributed constructively! Robboman, I think your assumptions make sense and they might not be using the TigerSharc processor, the limitation of simultaneous effects ("only 8") versus the AxeFX should be a hint. I hope Cliff and crew can jump in and enlighten...

    What will be the DSP chip?

    Hi there, new guy around here!:encouragement: I am evaluating the new FX8 to use with my amps and was wondering what will be the processor chip. Will it feature the famous TigerShark processor like the older brother AxeFXII? Has anything been confirmed so far? Thank you!
