    FX8 Preset Problem. Pls Help!

    did you set your pre and post settings correct in the Config tab in FX-edit? I sometimes forget this and then it bypasses all the block and you get a clean sound only For 4cm you can have do the drives and compressor block pre and the effects like delay, reverb post.

    Corrupt Global Configuration Error 101 PLEASE HELP

    What I did was email the vendor (g66.eu) with the serialnr of the unit and asked for a warranty transfer. I also send the original receipt. But I did confirm if this was an option before I bought it second hand.

    Corrupt Global Configuration Error 101 PLEASE HELP

    Try a factory reset? It looks like a software corruption. I also have a second hand Mark1 but I could transfer the warranty. I had a footswitch which broke off so they picked it up and repaired it for free. Great service at g66.eu.

    Thinking about taking the plunge

    the fx8 can receive and send midi signals. I think its best for you to check the manual. I know it can send midi signals to ableton and control dmx lighting and tracks. About the presets: the reason I still use the fx8 after 3 years is you can create presets very fast with the usb editor. This...

    Can't get a good amp/cab sound out of my AX8...

    Hi, thanks everyone. I made a preset and let someone from g66.eu check it. There was nothing wrong with it he said. But for me the distortion sounded to digital. I used my FR monitors and also my in-ears. Compared it to a real amp the difference is too big for me. I personally think the AX8 has...

    Can't get a good amp/cab sound out of my AX8...

    So you pick one amp and then try different cabs? Basically what I am looking for is voxac30, ocd, RAT, love pedal distortion sounds. U2 edge type of sounds. On my fx8 I use 90% RAT and Eternal Love drive blocks.

    Sudden loss of output on only 1 preset

    Did you change the delay settings(phase reverse) and or the global output settings? If you set it to sum L+R with stereo delay and phase reverse you might end up with zero sound.

    So, is there a future for the FX8?

    I tried an AX8 during a fractal meeting but I liked the sound of a real amp more then the sound of a Full-range monitor. I miss the low end there. I use my fx8 effects all in front of my 2 amps which will give me the low-end. Amazing sound.

    So, is there a future for the FX8?

    Upgrades are always nice but I prefer Stability above new features. And as for the forum silence...maybe it is just a no-brainer unit which just works excellent with a real amp where the unit was designed for. It suits my every need. I would like fractal to do a little bit of stability upgrades...

    Drive Section Sounds harsh

    I doubt that. I had a Tm36 which I used with a gsystem and an OCD in the pre-amp. In theory auto input impedance would fix all your issues. The fx8 is a g-system with serious upgrades in my opinion. But hey if it doesnt work for you...too bad.
  27. Eduard

    Btw the fx8 input impedance can do auto impedance. I would recommend using that

    Bug? Assigning EXT to delay feedback -> communication loop

    Reproduction: Assign your EXT to the left feedback of a delay(in my case the 2290 stereo mode) Set your min max to 0% and 20% for instance. Then close the EXT config panel. Now fx-edit keeps ' communicating' I cannot save the preset. I use the latest FX-edit and firmware
  52. Eduard

    Problem with assigning EXT to L+R delay feedback

    If you set it to stereo it has left and right feedback. And NO assigning it only to the left doesn't work. In fact then you get the error as well. It keeps saying ' communicating' I think it is a bug
