    Favorite FRFR powered speaker?

    Are you having to compensate for any inherent low end boominess on the Headrush speaker? I ask because I own an Alto TS210 and though I like it for PA stuff, I hate it as a modeler monitor. It does not have the tools to cut the bass, no HPF, or DSP, etc. Like the JBL eq/DSP internal tools. Do...

    Aren't those the ones Tony McAlpine and Nili Brosh use? They got some sick tones out of those on their last albums. EMGs are hit or miss. I really like my Steve Lukather set I got on my Strat, not looking back there. However, I put a set of 81 and 85 on my Carvin neck-thru, did not do it for...

    Some Lynch action with the AX8

    Yes, he used to use the SLO 100. Then at some point he had a Randall signature amp that legend says he actually never used, lol.

    Some Lynch action with the AX8

    Not really meant to copy Lynch's sound, but my own take based on effects he uses. Soldano amp overall- not as high gain for rhythm (preset 1), octaver (preset 2), Wah (preset 3), lead w/ more delay (preset 4). Factory cab mix... No drive pedals, just X/Y the amp. I cooked this up in January of...

    How Many Of You.....

    FRFR too. I actually just run straight to PA and get either in ears or floor monitor mix, depending on the venue. Sounds great and of course, I could bring a personal monitor but it would not change what the audience hears. I do use my wireless to walk to the back and hear what the house sounds...

    AX8 + backing tracks

    Official, it will play an external source via the fx loop line in. I even looped part of a song and messed playing it backwards etc. Split the signal in stereo, fed L and R into AX8. Went out L and R to my powered speaker. No mixer whatsoever.

    AX8 + backing tracks

    I run a mic into the line in of the AX8 using an fx loop block. Granted, had to boost the signal of the mic using an effect or amp block. Running parallel. I wonder if I could do the same but running backing tracks instead of a mic... And which od to use since the amp will be used with the...

    Pad sounds

    I'm sure the vets here will have a better way but, have you tried tying a volume block to that expression pedal. You can make it work to decrease the volume while you go toe down while the ambiance increases. Also you set the limit if how much the output is reduced to just below clipping.

    Cases SKB vs. GATOR

    I've used the SKB for the past year and like it a lot. It fits with a fractal expression pedal just right. Mine brought the foam on top, pretty neat. You push the top the final inch or so, in effect molding the foam insert to the equipment which equals protection.

    Second guitar input?

    This ^^. And remember that you could run two independent or semi-independent effect chains. That way you could run two different signal chains that share some or no effects.

    The most convenient wireless system to use with the AX8?

    I can say that live I do not notice it while playing. When going to the back of the house by the sound guy during sound check, yes but that is 4 stages worth of distance lol. Did not notice a change in tone vs my 10 ft cables.

    The most convenient wireless system to use with the AX8?

    I'll throw a wrench to this discussion :). I've been using the XVive for over a year now. Both to practice and play live every week. No dropouts, no hassles, no tone suck. Straight forward and sturdy system.

    Some of us decided to sell the amp. Then get a powered speaker to play the same sound on stage as sent to FOH.
