    Things could get moving pretty quick. Fewer waitlist signups the further we move away from the launch date. If the production of units stays the same or ramps up then we will all benefit. Well all of us except those who are trying to flip their unit for a profit. lol.

    If you like playing along with tracks on your computer take a look at the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. It’s priced reasonably, super simple to operate, runs on usb power (no ac adapter needed) and is probably the only one with a dedicated blend knob that lets you quickly adjust the volume balance...

    Axe-Change Problem

    When I go to the Axe-Change on the AX8-Edit software no presets are visible from the user community. Just blank. I've noticed this for some time now and just figured it was some odd glitch that would correct itself with an update, but nope. Did I miss something?
  35. Dan Hill

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    That's exactly why I ditched spdif. Got tired of monkeying around with having to constantly reset the clock on the interface. Plus, I really couldn't hear a difference between that the the xlr cables.

    I could see the niche for a product such as this, but ultimately I would have to agree with ECWeagles that having the AX8 wins the day for what it can do as an "all-in-one" package, and at a substantial savings. For those though who have grown attached to their analog/digital pedals would...

    I just have to take a minute and recognize and give thanks to FAS for how much the users of their products enjoy the updates, both big and small.

    Barefoot Buttons

    New AX8 coming, wanting to connect with fellow P&W players

    I'm in the same boat. Would really like a pair of triple or quad driver custom IEM's but cannot justify the expense at the moment so the UM20's (which are still quite good) will have to satisfy my monitor needs for the time being.
  49. Dan Hill

    New AX8 coming, wanting to connect with fellow P&W players

    You kind of get what you pay for with IEM's. I have a set of Westone UM20 pro's and they are a universal fit, dual driver IEM. They sound considerably better than single driver IEM's that i have auditioned, and as you move up to triple and quad drivers the benefits become even more apparent...

    Change AMP with footswitch

    I guess you could also use scenes, right? Example scene 1 call up amp block in X state and scene 2 could call up the amp block in its y state. I haven't tried this personally so I'm not sure if that would work. It doesn't address your 3 amp question but it covers 2 amps.

    AX8: what is "must have" IR ?

    Freidman ams12 vs power amp and guitar cabinets question

    I hooked my AX8 up to a buddies pair of ASM-12's, sounded great. Then the next day I took my AX-8 up to another friends place and ran it into the front end of his old Fender DR (NOT 4cm method). Again it sounded great. Surprising since we didn't turn off any of the amp or cab sims. I had...

    Recording using S/PDIF

    Those are all valid points Archie. That was mainly the basis of my observation. Meaning I really didn't notice a change in audio between the two different connections. And your absolutely right in that going XLR doesn't lock me into 48khz sample rate. I was just thinking out loud.
  61. Dan Hill

    Recording using S/PDIF

    I haven't tried engaging the pad on the 6i6 The input gain on the interface is all the way down for input #1 which is the XLR coming off of the AX8 left XLR output. The output 1 knob on AX8 is all the way up which is almost too hot for the XLR input on the 6i6 but not hot enough for the SPDIF...
  62. Dan Hill

    Recording using S/PDIF

    Ok. I got one other question. I'm noticing a pretty big difference in signal strength between xlr and SPDIF. The SPDIF signal is significantly weaker. I can't figure what to attribute this too. I have run the SPDIF and xlr at the same time into my 6i6. Using the focusrite mixer software...

    Man I didn't want to create a whole thread for this issue, but I am coming up empty handed looking for information. When I calibrate the expression pedal the max value only goes to .91 of max. It doesn't seem to really affect the overall sound, but I want to make sure that's normal. If it...

    You'll get the hang of it pretty quick, have fun with it.
  66. Dan Hill

    Recording using S/PDIF

    Yes. That should do it. All you would likely need to do then is make gain adjustments to get the levels right.
  67. Dan Hill

    Recording using S/PDIF

    Well Logic Pro works great with the Scarlett 6i6 using the SPDIF input with the AX8. I had to learn some things through trial by error but it seems to be working great now.
  68. Dan Hill

    Recording using S/PDIF

    Correct. If the interface does not have a S/PDIF connection (usually found on the back of interfaces) then you would simply connect the main outputs of the AX8 to the main inputs of the interface either with standard 1/4" instrument cables or you could use XLR's if the interface has them.

    Recording using S/PDIF

    So I've been looking around and it seems that if I have my AX8 connected to my Scarlett 6i6 via S/PDIF it won't transmit audio to Garage Band. I believe it's because the AX8's sample rate is 48khz and GB is locked at 44.1. So the question is do I upgrade GB to Logic Pro X? Before I drop the...

    Looking to upgrade to an AX-8 (or Helix) and build a rig around it. Where to start?

    There is a preset on the AX8 that can pretty much cover the most complex ambient sound I should need. It's the Blackhole preset bank 16 preset 6. However, with that being said I found a pretty good deal on a used H9 Max that I'm confident will fill the gap fine if and when I do run into CPU...

    Having owned both the Helix and now the AX8 I would have to say that in a scenario where you would need to quickly edit the unit with the onboard UI the Helix is noticeably easier for the novice user. Having said that though there are at least a couple things to keep in mind. Just because the...

    Carrying case?

    Oakley Halifax Courier Messenger bag. Just might be the ticket. I can get one for $54 on their SI website. That or their range bag. It's a little more but it may also work. Either one would likely be a tight fit.

    I agree the Mono products are very well constructed. I had an M80 for a pedal train I used years ago when I was using a standard pedal setup. If I go the Mono route I'm torn between the 365 and Kontroller.
