    Modded ML Cabs Free Marshall Amp/Cab Preset

    I built the Amp block from the jpg posted by ML Cabs in the AxeII folder and downloaded the free Marshall Cab that goes with it. I did not change settings on either. I then added a wah (2 really with x/y), drive (fuzz face / TS 808 Mod), chorus (2 types), delay (2 settings with x/y), spring...

    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

    It works! $99 Windows 10 Tablet Running AX8-Edit

    I disconnected the keyboard from the Nextbook Flexx 10 and connected it to my AX8. AX8-Edit runs great on what is now a tablet. Response when changing presets or scenes or calling up different blocks or swapping x/y etc... seems similar enough speed wise to my i7 16GB MacMini. Backing up the...

    Anybody have a Vox ToneLab ST?

    I picked one up when Guitar Center blew them out for $99 last week (regularly $199). There are a few presets that sound good. I plan to use it with my acoustic rig with my hybrid guitars. In this case, small is good.

    AX8 Takes a Different Way of Thinking.... How do you set switches for live use?

    I'm old school. Too many years with pedals and a tube amp. I'm making the leap to amp and effect modeling for numerous reasons. See the end for the question. Thanks! I was never good with presets. Too much to memorize and the more presets I have, the more difficult it becomes to remember...

    Question About the Friedman Amp Presets

    I never played a real Friedman, so I'm curious. When I got to the Friedman presets on my AX8 they were really bassy compared to the others. I tweaked them to my liking by reducing the depth, but do real Friedmans have that much bass? Glad it was so easy to tweak on the AX8~!

    AX8 - Using the XLR vs. the 1/4" Outputs

    After being sick for months, I learned Friday morning that an MRI Thursday showed the cause of my illness and I found out I will have surgery asap and recovery will be around 4-6 weeks. After I'm home and healed enough to play a little guitar, I'm going to finally get some time to work with my...

    Out 1 doesn't go to silent. Is this normal?

    Even with the Out 1 knob turned all the down, I still hear sound through my studio monitors. Low volume, but it's clear. Is this normal? (just using xlrs to the monitors)

    Need help with some sounds...

    I'm trying to create some of my own sounds that fit my needs and I'm finding some things difficult. For example. I want to set up a block with a script phase 90 sound on X and a univibe sound on Y. Seems simple enough. The Phase 90 was. But I can't figure out how to get the Classic Vibe...

    PSA: Red JBL LSR305s are $99.99 each at Guitar Center.

    My reality of local gigging - the p.a. isn't as good as a high end FRFR and is mono

    One of the things I've thought about is whether to get something like an Atomic CLR or other high end FRFR. Maybe a pair. Then I think about reality and what I'd be playing through at a typical gig. I play in cover bands and have to hire sound for most gigs. One club I play in has a house...

    Plugging directly into nearfield recording monitors for home listening?

    So, headphones didn't work for me to listen to my AX8. Very bright and harsh (tried several and really don't want to buy more). I don't have a recording setup on my computer and I have Bose computer speakers anyway, so that's not really a good way to listen at home either. A friend is selling...

    AX8 Edit - Preset Names. Am I missing it?

    In AX8 Edit, I can choose preset 1-8 in the bank by clicking in the number. Same with scenes. For me this isn't all that helpful. Is there a way to see the preset names in the bank in edit view? And I know I can open the big preset name screen that shows the names in something like 16 or 18...

    AX8 and the Mono Producer Bag

    I don't know that I would recommend the combination. It fits, but it's a seriously tight fit. Perhaps it will stretch out a bit with use, but I don't think it's a great combo. Curious to see what Rick thinks and if the EV-1 fits in a side pocket. I'm really not sure it will.

    I REALLY HATE UPS!!!!!

    They did delivery my AX8 today, but not without some holes in the box and some cosmetic damage to the bottom panel of the AX8. I didn't turn it on. Mark at FAS told me to wait until I hear from Charlie tomorrow before plugging it in. MAJOR SAD FACE!!!

    Axe II or AX8 with an Acoustic Guitar Amp?

    Saving a Preset as Blocks in Axe-Edit. Does this apply to AX8-Edit?

    Admin M@: "Don't bother. Axe-Edit has a feature now to let you automatically save a whole preset as blocks." Does this feature apply to AX8-Edit? If so, can AX8-Edit read an AxeFX preset that can't be loaded into the AX8 and let us save the blocks? Or to get the Brit Floyd presets separated...

    Anything we didn't already know? Features The AX8 contains 512 different presets arranged in 64 numbered banks. Each preset is like an entire rig, with its own amp, speaker cab, and effects. 222 “Quantum” amp models utilize the same technology as our flagship Axe-Fx II. Ultra-Res™ Speaker Cab...

    A Request for Someone with a AxeFX II - Brit Floyd Presets

    Would someone (or more than one) be kind enough to save the separate blocks for the Brit Floyd Presets to share so we can loa as much as we can into the AX8 when they're out? Thank you
  28. D

    So, Fractal is going to a pedal show Dec 5

    The FX8 would be a natural to show off. But should we take bets on whether they'll have the AX8 there too?

    Possible High Quality Case

    The Mono Producer bag looks like it will fit with the main compartment dimensions beting 16" wide, 11.5" high and 3" deep. The depth is short by .1", but the bag probaby flexes enough to make it work fine. On top of that there's a front pocket that's 16" wide and 2" deep and side pockets...

    Equalizing Volume from Preset to Preset - How on the Axe/AX8?

    So we don't know for sure on the AX8 yet, but maybe it's not an issue on the AxeII. One benefit of the FX8 is that achieving unity gain is pretty simple. In putting patches together on the H, I'm finding that it's very easy for different presets to very different volume levels. On top of...

    Feel like the "red headed step child?"

    So AX8 is shipping to someone. AX8 includes effects not included in the FX8. The FW or software tweaks in the AX8 are supposed to translate to the FX8, so hopefully we'll see the grid and additional effects in the FX8 soon, but so far I'm feeling left out and even ignored. How about a...

    How Will AX8 Take Advantage of Prior Presets? Or Starting From Scratch?

    In my view, one of the big issues with Helix is that it's a brand new product and people are just learning how to use it. Some of the patches being created and shared are garbage. Few are any good. This is where the AX8 theoretically has a HUGE advantage with years of prior work behind it...

    FYI: Blocks saved from an AxeFX in FW 20.0 won't work on the FX8

    *.blk: The block was saved using firmware version 20.00 and is not compatible with the connected device's firmware. Not sure about quantum, but I assume that will be updated in the next firmware update.

    Has anyone used their FX8 with an amp on silent mode running straight to pa?

    Converters

    Waaaa! We want Quantum!!

    Wish Software to Strip FX from AxeFX Patches to use With FX8

    there are some fantastic AxeFX patches available that we can't use because they contain amp, cab or other blocks not in the FX8. I'd like to see an additional function in the FX Edit software that will take an AxeFX preset , strip the non transferable parts and produce an effects only preset...

    Problem with x/y switching?

    Are the outputs buffered for long cable runs?

    I reconfigured my FX8 setup from trying to run a direct rig with a Tech21 Blonde (not very good) to a 4cm rig with my Tubemeister 36 into a Thiele 1x12.

    Are there presets being shared? Where? How? Thanks!

    I'm a Fractal Newbie. I understand the Axe II presets can't be shared with the FX8 because they include blocks for amps, cabs, IRs and effects not included in the FX8. SO, is there a place I can find presets for the FX8 being shared? I think seeing what others are doing will help me learn to...

    I'm not a midi guy, but I think this should work if the midi block will allow it. My HK amp let's me use midi to switch channels (and set output power per channel). So, it seems to me that I should be able to set up a midi block where switch off is clean channel, X is the crunch channel...
