    Preset changing - slower than anything I had before

    I see this complaint pop up From time to time in discussions about AX8/AXFX , Helix, and Kemper. People list G Systems (not close to the same as it is not a modeler), Boss etc. The fact is those products are not in the same class. It requires a lot more processing power to do everything Ax does...

    What wireless unit are you running with the AX8?

    Carrying case?

    I was just throwing an alternative out there but you are welcome. I use Mono for almost everything
  4. BigRalphN

    Carrying case?

    These look decent but the Mono 365 is possibly the best backpack choice. Heavy/double stitched, extra heavy rivets, etc. It does look a little wider though. I personally HATE any backpack. The Remix definitely looks well built.

    Doubling effect like the TC Electronic Mimiq

    That does sound nice. I will check out how you did it later. From what I am gathering the random wav (when I see wave form I think modulation) simulates a real person by adding imperfection. I need to see if I can borrow the pedal. To me it still sounds like an extra track with a 20-30 ms delay...

    Doubling effect like the TC Electronic Mimiq

    I watched a few more videos and I get why its wanted now. I don't have one so this is a question for when I see if I can recreate this. Why are people looking for random wave forms? I get pitch to very slightly alter the pitch off the second and third guitar but I am not hearing random...

    Doubling effect like the TC Electronic Mimiq

    Now I have to listen to Clips to see what it does. My first thoughts were why? Adjusting a delay between 20 to 25 Ms with give you a doubling (chorus) effect. Put the delay in separate path with a pitch block nd you could adjust how you want the doubling to sound. Or just use a modulated delay...

    Setting presets/patches using headphones

    I would try an EV ZLX12P if you do not want to break the bank with the new baby. Ii set mine on the floor like a monitor/wedge and in speaker settings it is on monitor. It will be very bass heavy if set to pole and left on tube floor. There are a lot of options (like QSC K series) but most...

    Is this normal behavior? Squeked AX8

    First issue sounds like a mechanical issue from the pedal itself. If not try different cables and/or inputs. Also try putting the wah at a different spot in your signal chain. The second issue just sounds like a corrupt install or file. That's not really AX8 issue or its software. It can...

    AX8 + external midi controller

    No. The AX8 is not seven pin as stated, nor does it provide USB power. You need to buy a 9v Wall wart. It. may also be able to power it via USB with a phone charger but I would ask the company before trying it.

    Agreed I can't here the difference between high res and normal cabs live either. Maybe I would if I a/b them live but no one else will notice. I need the CPU. I sort of wish the had done an AX8 plus with more CPU and dual amps. I would pay the extra price. That said, I still love this until.
