    In defense of the hardware UI

    TL;DR I've come to the conclusion that the conventional wisdom claiming the hardware UI (AF3, FM9, FM3) is overly complicated and terrible, is entirely overblown. It's not. It's actually pretty good. With the exception of programming buttons, I could get on just fine with the hardware alone. Is...

    Bug? CS does not momentarily toggle an effect off

    When you use a CS to toggle the bypass state of an effect and assign it to a button hold (momentary) event... when the effect is ON, holding the button down should trigger the Control Switch (which is on) to toggle OFF, but it doesn't. It stays on. It should toggle OFF when the hold period...

    Bug? Adding a CS to bypass an effect breaks LED status

    I'm not sure if this is related to this wish, but when you assign a Control Switch (which is the only way to access momentary functionality) to set an effects' bypass status, it disables the automatic LED bright/dim functionality of any button that has that effect assigned to it. So your button...

    Wish Add latching/momentary options for Effects, Scenes, and the Tuner

    Pretty self-explanatory... add latching/momentary/phrase switching options for Effects, Scenes, and the Tuner, not just for Control Switches. Latching is the default of course, but momentary and phrase would be great too.

    Wish Spark-style Automatic Latching >> Momentary switching

    Circa 2016, I made this request for the AX8: Latching, Momentary + PHRASE Switching Trying again... I'd love to have a third in-between option which is a combination of latching and momentary, like the TC Electronics Spark Boost: it functions as a normal latching switch unless you hold it down...

    Dialing in the Morgan AC20

    Need some help... Ever since I picked up the AX8 (I know this isn't technically a "Tone Match" question, but hey), I've been trying to recreate the sound of a Kemper profile from user rmpacheco of a Morgan AC20. I loved that profile. It sounds heavenly -- chewy, chimey, sparkly, with a smooth...

    SRV Little Wing Tone Test

    Just a quick tone test using AX8 to cop a convincing Stevie Ray Vaughan SRV tone. The AX8(FW 8.02) amp model is the Vibroverb with Tyler Grunds JBL E130 IR. The guitar is a G&L Legacy Tribute w/ZexCoil SV5 pickups. I'm a metal player and pretty much picked up this guitar SOLELY to learn me some...

    Unchained the AX8 (the obligatory EVH)

    Finally decided to record/post the obligatory... Unchained (excerpt) I tried posting the full version but Sound Cloud content protection removed it. Here's an MP3 on DropBox, full song, remixed: Unchained (full song) Just a quick demo excerpt using the "Brit Brown" amp in the Fractal Audio...

    AX8: Odd Tuner behavior (high Eb)

    Maybe it gets a bad wrap, but I've found that once it calms down it works really, really well. That said, I ran into a problem tuning at least 3 of my guitars: the high E (Eb actually) tunes perfectly when tuning the open string, but when I tried tuning using the 12th fret harmonic it is 10+...

    Awash ......... ...... ....... ... .. . . . . .

    So... just a simple question. Why do 75% of the uploaded/shared presets on this forum have reverb settings that make it sound like the Reims Cathedral and ping-ponging delays for days? At 3am bedroom volumes it's not so noticeable, but at decent (gig) volume it's just WAY over the top. You can...

    Bit Crushed/Fuzz/Stoner Tones?

    Inspired by @yek 's latest Bit Crusher thread, I looked up some profiles I loved on my Kemper that were built by Kemper user brommel -- some really great sounding tones from his band: This is pretty far out of my wheelhouse, so I thought I'd ask... anyone know of any existing similar presets...

    Beefing up bridge position in my G&L Strat

    I have a G&L Legacy that sounds pretty amazing to my ears -- it's Mahogany with a flame maple cap and it sounds warm and super chimey. Long story short... I love everything about it except the bridge pickup in position #1 -- alone it sounds thin and shrill -- and I'm looking for suggestions to...

    Implemented Assign a Block to Multiple Switches [IMPLEMENTED in Q 4.00]

    Related to (or maybe "in lieu of") my previous suggestion to add a 3rd latching mode to switches, it would be nice to be able to assign a block to more than one switch. Use Case #1: you need a boost switch set to momentary for quick phrases or fils, but you need another boost switch set to...

    Wish Latching, Momentary + PHRASE Switching

    ...it's SOOOO close already w/FW 3.5+. I'd love to have a third in-between option which is a combination of latching and momentary, like the TC Electronics Spark Boost: it functions as a normal latching switch unless you hold it down for nnn milliseconds (say 800ms), at which point it becomes...
