    Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly ( Video )

    Sounds great. If I am picky I would say to add a touch of high EQ to the lead vocal and pull some lower mid mud out. I am being picky because in reality it is quite well done. I would be quite happy playing in a band that sounds as good. I also appreciate you guys getting the harmonies sounding...

    New Music Room

    Maybe more simple then what you are looking for...I use a beat buddy pedal...it allows real time control of the drum patterns with your foot. You can also load full songs etc. I have been gigging with it with my acoustic duo and it works great. Food for thought. http://mybeatbuddy.com/

    AX8 - First gig report.

    Nice to hear...sounds like it is a win! Do you use the AX8 with the looper or is all your in duo music live? Out of curiosity as a duo what do you use for a PA? Sorry for the slightly off topic questions...I am in a similar situation moving from an active pop/dance band to a duo.

    @bishop5150 did you remove the rubber feet on the AX8 and use velcro to attach to the pedal train board? I bought a pedaltrain novo24 but am a little reluctant to put velcro on the bottom.

    USB/Mac problem, too much power

    I wonder if your USB connection on the AX8 has a short...so whenever you plug a cable into it, it thinks it is drawing all sorts of current...bear-in-mind I know squat about USB. I hope you get this sorted out soon...

    Newbie saying hello an what are dual amps

    I would add you can have dual cabs though panned and such which adds some nice tonal variety. With that said, I came from a dual amp setup in my pod HD500 and I thought I was really going to miss it and well...I don't. The amps sound so fantastic in the AX...no disappointment without dual amps.

    Beat Buddy MIDI sync to AX8 looper anyone

    No workie...although the AX8 has MIDI CC messages for the looper it can receive which allows a loop to play, record etc...the beatbuddy only receives MIDI CC messages and cannot transmit them. So starting and stopping the beat buddy has no affect on the looper in the AX8. I have tried...

    AX8 Wishes

    As far as I can tell, the Ax8 looper doesn't seem to support start and stop MIDI sync commands. I use an external beat buddy as the MIDI master and the AX8 tempo syncs fine, however, when using the looper it would be nice if the external start and stop sync commands would control the AX8 looper.

    No Global Blocks ?

    For other noobs like me, it is on page 91 in the manual. It seems to be a reasonable way to accomplish adding a dialed in block to another preset or unit. I am not familiar with the AX-FX II so this may not be as eloquent as that but this seems to work fine.
