    Need a little help with setting up effects loop

    I set up my FM3 to run a Mooer Groove Loop in the effect loop. It works great, the only problem is I usually use Output 1R to send my signal to FOH. WIth this setup I'm only getting output on Output 1L. Can't figure out how to change it. Pan in the Output mixer does nothing. I included a...

    Vocals and guitar through FM3

    Great stuff. Thanks. My main concern was running a SM58 straight into the FM3 without some type of mic pre. My mixing board was taking care of that before. I just hate to drag the mixing board , the stand for it plus the extra cabling. Were usually playing really small winery/coffe house type...

    Vocals and guitar through FM3

    I'm pretty new to the FM3. Got it up and running and played one gig with my band so far which was great. I also do an acoustic duo where I previously ran my acoustic into an AX8 with compressor, reverb an IR blocks. Then into a mixer, out to powered EV speakers. The vocals ran into the mixer...

    What is you FM3 “backup” for live shows

    Don't have a backup. Never had a backup for my AX8 either.

    Seamless switching question

    Every real amp I've owned had a dropout when you switched channels. Some even threw in a pop for good measure. There are plenty of videos on Youtube covering ways around this.

    It will be a Merry Xmas! My FM3 landed today.

    I figured on building presets all week. All I really need to do is pick my favorite factory presets, they are so good out of the box.

    It will be a Merry Xmas! My FM3 landed today.

    With the FM3 on sale, and next week off I figured it was a good time to upgrade from my AX8 that I have been using since 2016. I figured I'd see it next week. Fractal is on the ball and shipped it out the same day so I got it today. Actually came yesterday but I was not home to sign for it. This...

    Would you sell your AX8 to buy a new FM3?

    I really like the AX8. I just got my FM3 yesterday. FM3 has some nice features, like you can name your scenes and the name shows up on the scribble strips, color screen thats easier to read. But the thought of selling the AX8, dont know if I can do it. I A/B'd them tonight and the AX8 sounds...

    Post here if you've received an invite for the Headphone Jack model!

    HX Stomp - interesting (?)

    I got mine tonight and played with it about an hour or so. First impression is it's neat but doesn't compare with Fractal on any level. I prefer Fractal amps, cabs, effects and even the tuner. I like the interface on the Line 6. I never even looked at the manual and have a lot of it figured out...
  22. Chris6870

    HX Stomp - interesting (?)

    I bought one. It should be perfect for 4CM with my amp where I'm only using effects.. One band I'm in I use only a few presets and the Ax8 is just overkill for that.

    Since I started this thread I guess I should update it. I sold the Friedman. I could not get that bright wide open spank that I get from other cabs. I could not get over dullness/darkness whatever it's called. Back to hunting I guess.

    CLR wedge vs Line 6 Powercab

    I don't understand the speaker simulation on the Line 6 Powercab. I have a boatload of IR's in the AX8. Why do I need speaker simulations? I recently sold my Freidman ASC. I found it to dark and muffled sounding. Put eq blocks with mid and high end bumps to get it decent but just couldn't live...

    New Line 6 FRFR cab - Powercab

    As per L6- Wait. 250 watts doesn’t sound like much. Aren’t there other speakers that are thousands of watts? 250 real watts, not marketing watts. The operative spec here is SPL (Sound Pressure Level). Powercab reaches 125dB SPL handily. You should have no problems playing next to the drummer.

    Best low weight live solutions for Axe FX?

    The ASM-12C is lighter than a lot of guitar cabs. My Splawn 2x12 is 72 lbs. The ASC-12 is 59 so it seems light to me. It's pretty managable, like carrying a combo amp.The ASC at least has a proper handle unlike the ASM. I also had a Xitone Walliman that was pretty light.. I also used a ZLX12. I...
  34. Chris6870

    Just got the Friedman ASC-12 and...

    I had a Xitone also. Sounded good but it was very small and don't care for the wedge format. I also prefer the look of a traditional cab. Good luck with them.
  35. Chris6870

    Just got the Friedman ASC-12 and...

    With the adjusted EQ it sounds great. I didn't care about the weight. My Splawn 2x12 I gig with is 72 lbs so the ASC is much lighter.. But I actually tweaked my back the first day I had the Friedman while carry it up the stairs. I'm going to see about putting some casters on it. I want to use...

    Just got the Friedman ASC-12 and...

    I set my Global EQ back to flat and created a Graphic EQ block with the mids and highs bumped a little and saved it to my library. Dropped that block in all my FRFR presets and it is sounding much better.

    I do have the low cut enabled.

    Just got the Friedman ASC-12 and...

    I am not hearing the midrange that I like. I had previously used my AX8 with a EVZLX12 and more recently with a Xitone powered wedge and my main amp model is the Splawn quick rod and some marshalls,all mid heavy.. Now with the Friedman it seems kind of midscooped. I boosted 2k and some highs on...

    Creating a Preset from the Front Panel

    It's not as bad as people make it out. I just forced myself to use the front panel and referred to the manual or internet when I got stuck. Within a few days I could do most tasks from the front panel. Very helpful. Just do it.

    Will there be an updated AX8?

    A new AX8 will not automatically make the old one sound any less fantastic. I'm perfectly happy with it. The onboard UI works fine. People complain about it but it comes down to being lazy. People want it to look like an Iphone and be something you can master in an hour with no manual. I suggest...

    Need some FRFR advice

    I have a pair of EVZLX12's. I'm not sure the Yamahas would sound that much different. They sound good at home but did not like them at gig volume,I much preferred my guitar cabs. A lot of guys say the Friedman feels more like a guitar cab. The big complaint is the weight and handle placement...

    Need some FRFR advice

    I decided to jump into the FRFR game. I've been running my AX8 through a Matrix GT1000 into a Mesa cab. It's good but a little honky with V30's. So I'm considering a Xitone 1x12 at about $530 which is the least expensive, or the Friedman ASC 12. That's $900 but I could sell my Matrix amp for...

    What I want to See AX8 II

    Display has to better or scribble strips of some type.My eyesight is fading, I can't see the display without bending down. Pair that with the clunky UI and tweaks on the fly are nearly impossible for me. I picked up the L6 HX Effects for fun and gotta say the colored UI is a joy to use.

    AX8 in live gig

    I use one preset per song. Use scenes for different sounds within the preset.Switch 1 is always dirty,2 isalways lead 3 is always clean 4 is "other" (special effects for certain songs) Then the top bank 4-8 is the effects, usually boost, modulation,delay and reverb.

    A couple of 4CM issues

    I have had success running my AX8 using 4CM for effects with my tube amps. Two issues I would like to solve- When I use the tuner it shows a constant -A- and doesn't move. The other is the synth block doesn't sound good at all. I use the same block for going direct except in a 4CM patch of...

    My Slash Wah Sim

    I tried it. Just open the OP's preset and copy the block and paste it an existing preset. It sounds cool,not that different than the stock crybaby to my ears.
  56. Chris6870

    Can I change parameters of a block for another scene?

    You can overwrite an imported preset. Just save it after making your edits.I thought you wanted the original and edited amp in the same preset, for that you need to x/y.
  57. Chris6870

    Can I change parameters of a block for another scene?

    You can make the original version X and your edited version Y. Then Make X active in scene 1 and Y active in scene 2.
  58. Chris6870

    Can I change parameters of a block for another scene?

    For levels, it seems if you click on output you can change the output level per scene.

    Switching channel via midi

    Looks like the firmware update did the trick. Played a gig last night and the midi switching worked flawlessly.
  60. Chris6870

    Does anyone else get a crackling sound out of their FRFR?

    I've heard it before. My RP1000 used to do it when I played it through the return of my tube amp. I turned the levels so low it was barely audible because I assumed I was clipping something and it still did it. I assumed it was digital clipping.

    Mark V:25 vs AX8

    I just sold my V:25 last week. No need for it anymore. I have all those Boogie tones and more in the AX8. Plus I can switch through them all as needed. So many tonal options on that amp but you could really only have two at a time which frustrated me.

    JBL PRX712 vs EV ZLX12p

    It doesn't appear to be refurbs. They are now $429. Yesterday they were $409. So would you suggest I get the JBL? Is the DSP stuff worth it? Seems like the LCD screen is another thing that can go bad. The EV's seem a little more compact and the price is lower.
