Marshall JCM800

Made this preset to work with my HSS Strat. JB Jr/Fat50/Fat50. Clean (S1), crunch (S2), more crunch (S3) and lead (S4). Try it out and let me know what you think. I'm running through a Xitone 12" wedge. I'm a fan of 3rd party IR's but I tried messing with the stock for this one.

Recording question

I have the 2i2 right now and like it but want to get a stereo unit to record different cabs on the left and right. Does the 2i4 accept stereo input and record stereo? I'm a recording newbie so help me out please. I assume I'd have to set up the 2 inputs to separate tracks in Reaper for true...

FX8 into Torpedo Cab??

So, I went back to amps a while ago and bought an FX8 MKII for effects and I am quite happy with my rig. Problem is I have a possible opportunity to sit in with a band that run direct/silent stage. I was going to sell an amp and buy an all in one but then got thinking of maybe running my FX8...

JMP-1 preset!

This is my JMP-1 preset. I used a factory cab that was as close to the OH IR that I use. I like this one a little better than any of the other Marshall offerings, seems a bit tighter and easier to control. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Splawn Quickrod OD1-2

My best preset to date, IMO, I absolutely love this one. Nice crunchy crunch tone with some nice tight gain when the TS is kicked in. I recommend using the OH Bogner 2x12OS pack with the M25 OH1F-10 cab, that's what I have loaded in this preset from my user cabs section so what you have in that...

Holy FACK!!! The boys are back!!!

I've been a Metallica fan since I the early 80's, saw MOP and AJFA tours but kind of lost interest a bit as they rambled on for many years. Still one of my favorite bands of all time but I pretty much only listen to the first 4 albums. Just listened to this for the first time today and all I can...

Splawn QuickRod preset!

Just finished this one and I like it a lot. It has that smoothed out modded Marshall feel with tons of gain on tap. I used my favorite IR combo but dialed the V30's down 3db to try and simulate them on the bottom of a 4x12 with GB's on top (my favorite combo). I also made this preset through my...

Slow editor??

I have a laptop with windows 7 that I am using with the AX8 editor. It is painfully slow when I am navigating within the editor, especially changing presets or cabs. I also get the communication error at least twice a day. Anybody else find this? Is there a fix? I've been watching some Youtube...

Half step drop??

Anybody have a good setting to used the fixed harmony in the pitch block to drop a half step and have it sound good? I used to remember it sounding fairly tight with zero to little latency in my AFXII XL. I'm having trouble dialing it in on the AX8 to sound good and tight. Thanks.

Mark IIC++ preset

Easy amp to dial in. Again, I like a bit darker sound so you might not like this if you like that crispy high end. I also love this cab combo, I seem to use it with every amp I try. This is a heavy preset, obviously, I also added a BBE if you want to tighten it up a bit. Hopefully you enjoy it...

Then vs Than!!

Just thought I'd give a little grammar lesson because these two are used incorrectly on a regular basis. Thanks and have a nice day. Than vs. then Then is mainly an adverb, often used to situate actions in time. For example, you wake up in the morning and then have breakfast. It’s also used in...

My Fargen Olde 800 80's decade preset!

I've been fine tuning this preset for a few days. It was made with my Deluxe Strat with a SD Custom Custom and was dialed in for live use through a monitor(Friedman ASM-12). Not sure how it would work through a DAW as I haven't tried yet. I am absolutely not a fan of shrill high end so I tend to...

Does anyone else get wonky values after using an AX8 footswitch to pause AX8 edit and then opening again to edit values? If I have the delay, drive, etc up on screen when I pause, and then come back and bring up the amp block, I get values from the last block(drive, delay, etc.) in some of the...

Morphing AX8

I did an exhaustive search to try and deal with the switching lag in the AX8. I play in a 3 piece and it's challenging for me to time the clean to dirty. The X/Y is close but still not spot on. I did find this about the AXII and was wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the AX8. I'm not huge...

Input problem??

I make a preset with my Strat that has a DH-1 humbucker, sounds killer, then I plug in my Charvel with a Duncan JB humbucker and it sounds like a$$. Is that just inherent in the design when using pickups with a wide range of resistance?

I know it's a convenient way to pay but man, do they put you through the wringer!! I'm tired of waiting for an AX8 so I was going to give up my day 1 wait list position and buy either a used XL/MFC combo or a Kemper rack/remote combo, turns out that our dollar is worth about 73 cents right now...

I'm relatively new to the modeller/FRFR thing. This preset sounds dynamite to me in the bedroom, can I get some opinions? Just want to know if I'm on the right track to go live. I used my PRS Tremonti with EMG 57/66 to make the preset.

I live way up north in Canada so my access to stuff is limited. I don't use many controls and only 3-5 patches live so I snagged a used Midi Mate locally. My question is can I use the VP JR. 6181 25K for volume and wah? I also have access to a Roland EV-5. which one will work better? Thanks.
