    wah won't turn off! Dang it.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm set up at home now. Problem gone , as usual.. I can not get the problem to repeat at home. I'll try tweaking the modifier to make it possibly more travel friendly?. At the gig I did unplug the cable entirely and re-plug, which didn't help. None of the switches were...

    wah won't turn off! Dang it.

    This has only happened a couple times, always at the wrong time. At a gig. Grrrrr. Usually there is no time to mess around and try to correct the issue. When I get home and set up, it works like normal. Sympton:Has only happened at a gig.The preset works fine when loaded. Once I use the wah, it...

    Nice DC600 in your video. Did you use The Kiesel Lithium pickups to create this superpack?

    Do you use amp knobs on your AX8?

    barely touch them, if i do it's the level. The UI is a weak point of the unit. As others have said. I wish the available knobs were assignable like the footswitches are.

    polishing your preset tones

    in the amp block graphic eg section on all presets the 2 low end and 2 high end sliders I reduce a few db each. Works better live now, less boom and hi sizzle.

    today I built some acoustic guitar patches with IRs

    I use the Taylor IRs but I run the tube pre and cab block in paralell then blend them to taste. I like a little of the actual pickup tone mixed with the artificial ir sound.

    Need Some Rotary Speaker Settings Help.

    I connect an exp pedal to the speed with some damping that lets it ramp up/down gradually like a real leslie. I like the pedal for setting speed rather fast or slow with a control switch. I also run it in parallel so it doesn't take over the entire sound.

    Faking two Amps w/ Cabs

    Here's a preset I'm working on. I put a drive block (ruckus, since its an amp-in-the-box type) in parallel with the amp block. then into a mono cab block. For me being stereo is not practical most of the time.

    Tip: Adjustable Lead Volume

    heal down rythmn .toe down lead. Set the range appropriately. Could even be done with a control switch.
  18. Jeff Engler

    Tip: Adjustable Lead Volume

    I just attach an exp pedal to cab level. It's before delay/reverb so it does't disturb those and sounds natural. Set it to whatever range you need. No extra block needed.

    Tips For Cover Band Rhythm Player

    You probably already know, using a template speeds up the creation of new variations of existing presets. Also save your favorite block settings in the library. Maybe try whole seperate sets of presets to suit your various guitars, adjusting for different pick-up output.

    Multiple Pedals with one Footswitch

    Thank you .That was my point earlier. Scenes are not always best.
  37. Jeff Engler

    Multiple Pedals with one Footswitch

    Scenes work fine. Using a CS is specific to the blocks assigned, unlike scenes which changes the state of the entire preset.

    Multiple Pedals with one Footswitch

    apply a modifier to the bypass mode of each block. assign to a control switch ,add the switch to your footswitch layout

    Dunlop Mini Volume Pedal

  41. Jeff Engler

    Best way to blend acoustic IR with piezo signal.

    amp blocks have compression in them , a clean amp is potential work around to add a 2nd compressor. added a preset. vol and delay are attacehd to external controllers
  42. Jeff Engler

    Best way to blend acoustic IR with piezo signal.

    the tube pre run parallel with the IR warms up the piezo nicely and there are EQ options in the block

    expression pedal clean to dirty morph and more

    Glad you got something from it. The trick is to get the expression curves right on the 4 main parameters (input trim, input gain, master volume, and MV trim) so it reacts without big volume jumps. Each amp responds a bit differently I find.

    That was too strong a word. I just wish it behaved a bit smoother, just little stuff. I was comparing to H9control which has blutooth integration IOS compatibility ect. With the h9 you can do real time control from the ipad. Hooking an AX8 to a laptop or PC or WN10tablet with a USB cable is...

    Compressor settings

    the comp in the amp block works well too. Under dynamics page use just a little negative on the preamp comp say-01.00. saves cpu over having a seperate amp block

    Is there an advantage using the Filter block instead of an EQ?

    The filter block has X/Y states, while the GEQ or PEQ blocks do not. Useful when used as a boost to have 2 different boost levels available.
  53. Jeff Engler

    use EV 1 as master volume

    If your talking about a standard vol pedal, not expession, then, put it in an efx loop block after the amp/cab. won't effect gain and will let delay/reverb trail off naturally.

    Creative uses for expression pedal

    I'd like to map enough parameters (comp, drive, amp ect) to go clean to scream and all points in between with just a sweep of the pedal, without a volume change. I may have to spend some time experimenting. If I can get that to work then add some efx to the stew.
