    Announcing FM9 Turbo

    I'm really surprised you didn't go with the larger scribble strips. I think that would be a huge improvement.

    bring the scene controllers feature to the next level

    This 1000%. And it’s even easier than Helix in the Quad Cortex. It’s overly complicated on the FM9 and requires math. Math is hard.

    KLON Drive Settings

    When I first had an AX8, fractal swore that they would never put a Klon pedal in their systems. I guess they stuck to their guns despite the demand. Silly in my view.

    Mike Campbell Rig presets

    This is weird. I loaded it onto my FM9 and had to delete and early pitch block to get it under the dsp limit. BUT, nothing sounds like Mike Campbell. And there are scenes labeled: ODS, Femder, Vox, beano, Floyd, Hendrix, Edge and S Rock. They all sound really weird and unusable. Something...

    AxeFXIII to FM-9 presets.

    I've been trying to import a Mike Campbell preset written for AX3 to my FM9 without success. First it crashed FM9 Edit. Using the Manage Presets tools, it imports to almost 50% then nothing. Just goes away. Am I missing something? Or perhaps it's just not compatible?

    I paid for regular shipping. They shipped the day after I ordered and I’m getting it 2 days later. So, ordered Wednesday afternoon, shipped Thursday and delivered Saturday. I’m in Ohio. A friend in NY did the same. If you’re on the west coast, I assume it would take longer.

    You realize the announcement was made at 1:00 pm EST? According to what we see in this thread, they’re not even at 1:30 from the waitlist so getting in the list a couple of hours after makes no sense.

    We agree! LOL. I may still pick up another AX8 after everyone in line gets theirs. Quite a variety of amp models and effects that sound great. But I'd actually like to see a next version with scribble strips and another LED to display the Patch name in large letters. I don't think the large...

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    The other possibility is that the code is tighter or more efficient etc.... I'm not a programmer so there may be other possibilities as well.

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    Ok, I get that. I haven't tried putting multiple effects in their own parallel paths on the Helix. I'll have to look into whether that can be done at all on the Helix. Perhaps not.

    AX8 - Best way to augment and save CPU? (Delay vs Reverb)

    I think the first question for you is how important is reverb to your sound? The AX8 has beautiful sounding reverbs, but for someone like me who is satisfied with the spring reverb in a vintage Fender, I didn't need it. I thought about putting a TC HOF Mini (or even full size) on the pedal...
  59. D

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    It's important to me as well and I hope it's implemented soon. It's been requested a lot. Before the AX8 and Helix I already transitioned to the auto engage spring loaded Dunlop! I don't know that the screen on the AX8 is less likely to crack from an accident. But it's so much smaller that...

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    IF the Helix gets auto engage for the wah, I'm going to rewire and add my Mission pedal with the spring for wah, making the footprint even bigger. LOL. I'm not going to argue which device is a better size since that will be different for everyone. I know I'd use at least one, if not two...

    Since you brought it up (SORRY OP!!!, but in a way this has to do with ease of programming), I have comments/questions about your two points above. What do you mean by Deeper Modeling? You make it sound like the Helix models only 12 or so components. I don't think that's correct. I think the...

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    This. Honestly, if you're already steeped in Fractal products, I don't know that it makes sense to go with a Helix. The on board navigation can be learned with a bit of time and effort.
  65. D

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    Sure. The one in the Helix is equal to two, or an SP1, on the AX8. But for live use, the size/weight argument is pretty pointless.

    AX8 vs. Helix: On-The-Fly Programming.

    EJ Tone update...

    Sounds close, but it is difficult to hear the part in the mix. I was listening to your track for the delay and wonder if it should be set higher. And I imagine the preamp in EJ's delay adds to the sound. But I think you're on to something with the wah. Watch his right foot in this live video...

    Apparent UI Complaints

    These posts seem to relate to the UI for programming, not for live playing. For me the UI is more important when playing. I'm learning my way around the UI for the AX8. It's doable, but I prefer AxeEdit. Anyone who can't figure out the UI on the small screen for programming just hasn't...

    Roger McGuinn 12 String - Janglebox

    Has anyone duplicated the Janglebox compressor/treble booster to get that Roger McGuinn sound with a Rickenbacker 12 string? Or the original Vox treble booster and Fairchild 670 tube compressor? I have a Janglebox JB Nano, but I'd like to try to get the sound from the AX8. Thanks

    Eruption Plexi preset?
