    Home Recording Setup Question

    Hey guys, so I have my FX8 hooked up to an EVH 5150 100W head, running through an ADA DI Box into a Focusrite Clarett 2Pre. My question is, should I have this connected in 4CM or Post only? 4CM has me plugging into FX8 input, and Post only would have me plugging into amp and FX8 through...

    Using the FX8 with Mooer RADAR pedal?

    So I have a few solo gigs lined up soon and instead of lugging around an amp/cabinet I've decided to go with the Mooer Radar pedal cab IR sim. Are you guys familiar with this pedal? I've heard great things about it. Anyhow, I'm going to be performing over backing tracks through PA...

    How can I fix this?

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Does anybody know why I'm having this issue where there's a RED explanation mark on my reverb block? The reverb isn't working. My CPU is only at 61% ?

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Thanks bro. I used the neck pickup for the intro, then switched to the bridge once the band came in. Yes I can share my preset. Keep in mind it took some time to craft this preset and it’s all 8/0. This is my lead tone for plugging in direct to an amp. This tone is badass for serious...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    So yes! I ended up going guitar > FX-8 > Hot Rod (on clean channel) My tone was pretty decent if you ask me! Let me know what you guys think:

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Didn't know that was possible. Besides, the stage tech guy is going to set up my equipment prior to the performance. I don't want to confuse the guy with "this cable goes here, and that cable goes there." I honestly think he'll probably fuck it up, so I'll keep it simple for him with 1 cable...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I can bring the amp, but that means I'd have to bring my 4x12 cabinet as well, and that's a LOT to lug around for a 3 minute gig. What do you think?

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Thanks Chris! Appreciate all the help from you guys. I'm going to work on dialing in a lead tone on the clean channel of my amp and just bring my guitar and FX-8 to the gig.

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I get a sound check, however, I'm pressed for time during the sound check. I can't spend 10 minutes or so fiddling with the amp so obtain the tone I want. I just need to plug in, spend a minute or 2 adjusting the levels on the amp, and then rehearse the song.

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I only have 3 minutes on stage. I'm going to be playing lead guitar the whole time, so no need to switch channels. Technically I can bring the EVH, but didn't plan on lugging the 100lb head around. You think it's worth it? Obviously to get my signature sound, right? If I do bring the EVH...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Rex, those are good ideas. I figured I might have to build a whole new preset based upon a 2CM. Do you guys recommend building a lead tone off the clean or dirty channel?

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I don't have the Hot Rod amp here. I'll use it when I get to the venue, so I can't really play around with it to come up with a nice tone. I would bring my EVH, however, I'm only going to be playing for 3 minutes. It's amateur night competition. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I might as well...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I'm performing at the Apollo theater in NYC in front of 1700 people. The last thing I want is a muddy/saturated tone. I'm using Humbuster cables.

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    I usually use the 4CM, however the venue I'm performing at only has a Fender Hot Rod amp, which is just a basic combo amp. I have no choice but to plug directly into the input jack. I'm going to playing leads only, and my lead tone originally is configured using Channel 2 on the EVH which is...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Ok, so my preset consists of Pre/Post effects. 4/4. I want to hear ALL the effects going straight into my amp, without using the 4CM. So I tried your method: Guitar to In-Pre. Out-Pre to Post-In. Post-out to Input of guitar amp. Still getting a muddy saturated tone with WAY too much delay...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Ok, I see exactly what you're saying, and in theory this should work. I should get the exact same tone, however, I'm not. I tried this method and instead of getting the super smooth and rich tone from my preset, I'm getting this saturated muddy tone with extreme delay and reverb. Why is this?
  20. Drifts29

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    So basically, if you're going straight into an amp (NO 4CM) then you must use 8/0 correct? Since there's no post?
  21. Drifts29

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Yes. I'm performing at a venue that only offers the Hot Rod or a Roland JC-120. The JC-120 is a clean amp, and I'm playing lead guitar so that won't sound good at all. Should I even bother using the FX-8 with the Hot Rod? Even when using the EVH at home direct (without 4CM) I'm getting a...

    FX8 into Combo amp?

    Hey guys, I'm playing a gig tomorrow and using a Fender Hot Rod combo amp. I usually use the FX-8 at home into my EVH using 4CM. When I did a test run plugging directly into the input without 4CM, it sounds horrible. I changed my pre/post chain to 8/0 since I won't be using the 4CM, yet it...

    Buzzing/Hissing/Feedback sound when using USB

    Hey guys, Before plugging in my USB cable to the FX8, the signal is clean. As soon as I plug in the USB and start using FX-8 Edit I get this hissing feedback sound that is present in the background. It's very annoying. It's low enough to still hear my guitar, yet loud enough to annoy while...

    Channel switching question with EVH5150 III Stealth

    Hey guys, I finally had BEST-TRONICS custom build me a relay cable for my EVH. This is what the setup looks like: Ok, so now I'm having issues assigning the scenes in order to switch channels. How can I assign scene 1/clean - scene 2/dirty - scene 3/lead, all within 1 patch? This...

    6505+ Relay switching cable

    Ok, so I upgraded to 3.0, and read through the release notes. My question is, how can this change the channels on my amp without a cable going from the relay jack? Which relay jack cable do I need in order to make this possible with the EVH? Quarter inch cable to a 7 pin midi?

    5 months and not a single update?

    My wish is to have the FX8 be able to channel switch my EVH 100W head. Has anybody had any success channel switching to a 7 pin input yet? Praying an FX8 update will enable this function. :(

    Went back to Axe FX II and MFC101 and here's why....

    Exactly, I'm bummed out also that I need to spend another $300 for a piece of gear to make amp channel switching a reality, after I just invested in this expensive product! Contacted Fractal and they do not have a solution. I might have to return this unit as well if a solution isn't available...

    Not happy with CPU room

    Are you sure this relay cable will work? Others have said it won't work until new Firmware is released. I need one of these cables also! Please let me know if it works.

    Blocks

    Yes, got it to work! Do you have any BLK files, or know where I can download some links for BLK files? Having trouble finding some.
  31. Drifts29

    Blocks

    Oh ok, thanks. Do you believe they will enable this feature in the future? I can't see why not. Also, how can I add blocks? I read that blocks can be inserted into FX8 software, but unsure how to execute this.
  32. Drifts29

    50 delay blocks and 15 presets available! (v19)

    How were you able to transfer these blocks to the FX8? I keep getting an error message when importing, saying it's only for AXE FX II
  33. Drifts29

    Blocks

    .syx files are preset files used ALSO for FX8.
  34. Drifts29

    Blocks

    I'm getting the same error! The file extensions (.syx) are the same, so I don't understand why it won't work?! Anybody have a fix?

    Importing AXE-FX II presets into FX8

    I downloaded a few presets from the AXE-FXII however it says it's not compatible when trying to import into the FX8. Is this at all possible? Will new Firmware allow this feature?! I'm pretty sure there are plenty of tones out there made from guitarists that use the AXE FXII, and would be...

    6505+ Relay switching cable

    Guys, I'm in the same boat. I just got my FX8 and have an EVH 5150 iii STEALTH 100w head. This cable http://btpa.com/P6505PGMAJ-XX.html looks like it would be perfect for amp channel switching, but does it work? Do I also need to buy the amp gizmo? Also, with the mini amp gizmo, does this...

    EVH channel switching?

    Dude, I just got the FX8 and I'm using an EVH 5150 iii STEALTH 100w. Please explain where you got this custom cable to switch channels on the amp. The EVH has a 7 pin input for channel switching. Do you use the relay 1/4 inch cable output on the FX8 into the 7 pin? I really need a thorough...
