    expression pedal problem

    Hi, it seems my expression pedal 1 is acting like an on/off switch. It used to work... i can see it in AX8-edit (i attached a picture). When i move it back and forth it goes from either 0 or 100% (no where in between). I tried calibrating it and looks exactly the same (like a on/off switch). I...

    Cab F106 attenuates high G note

    Cab F106 attenuates high G note. I was using a Les Paul guitar into the Vibrato lux amp with the F106 cabinet and i noticed a drop in volume when i played the high G note (i was playing the end solo to Ramblin Man by Allman Brothers). Seems the g note was the only one affected. Even F# or G#...

    Thanks, I'll pick up that ML Greatest Hits. Seems really complicated, from your comment "Specifically from Fractal? " I'm guessing a bunch of 3rd parties are making these also.

    If you could buy one cab pack?

    Hey, guys I'm searching to buy cab pak 20 but online at fractal i can only find 21. Sounds like the pak 20 would be good for the Marshall sounds. I'd like to also purchase the best cabs for the Friedman, Dr. Z, Matchless, and the fender amps. Yea,....a wide range.

    Oh man, you might have it. YES, and i have it configured a little crazy-It's hooked up to auto engage with external 1 as the control but....I don't have a expression pedal in external 1 so...it's wide open. This is my bad for sure :) I'm pulling that out or at least change the control to a...

    Oh boy, well, my noise/trebble/dirt issue happened again but even on 7.01 firmware today. But, i was able to recover. I thought it was a 10.01 problem but now i'm suspecting the hardware. When I changed from a Vibro Lux patch to my Freidman patch everything got really treble-ee and dirty but...

    Thanks! Yea, the stage PA levels vs home levels are important.

I really think something changed in the unit after...

    F3 Tap to set the Tempo stops working and have to power cycle

    Chris, everything seems to work except I can't remember if I can switch to a lower number bank. I know I can go to a higher bank. I'll try it at today's gig to see. Really appreciate the link to the support :)

    F3 Tap to set the Tempo stops working and have to power cycle

    The F3 Tap to set the Tempo stops working and have to power cycle. This is happening 2 or 3 times during a 2 hour gig. So, in between songs I have to power the AX8 off and then back on to get it working again.... Also, the F3 to mute / tune does not work either until I power cycle.... Any ideas?

    AX8 looses global settings including Large Display Mode

    Joe, I haven't been making any changes to the global settings in months. When I do my programming of the various presets, I always save my settings and then i try out to make sure it sounds good so for sure 30 seconds have gone by. Any rate, I'll keep this in mind when I'm getting ready to...

    AX8 looses global settings including Large Display Mode

    I didn't even think about the global Eq..... but you are right, the eq was reset too. I'm going to make sure my presets have a good eq with the global eq flat I guess for now. One other thing I did was make sure my F1 and F2 were not flashing when I power down. Seems to have helped.

    Thomas, I have this working fairly well now. I changed my compressor release time to a setting above 100, i think I put it at 180ms. I had to adjust amp eq and amp level after the upgrade but it seems better now. I didn't have a high cpu useage. i did deselect the amp, cab, drive and then...

    AX8 V7.01 Public Beta

    I tried a few experiments. looks like something to do with the compressors. The spikes line up with my picking attack. The older 5.01 firmware doesn't have these pop sounds(spikes in the waveform). I'm new to this unit. I really want to move forward with the firmware but with my lack of...

    AX8 V7.01 Public Beta

    Hi, thanks. good idea. I use this preset with a LesPaul. It's a fairly clean patch I use for slide parts. Hope someone can try it and see if the spikes/pops are there.
  35. R

    AX8 V7.01 Public Beta

    The extra spikes sound like pops. I don't normally listen with my eyes but the waveform can catch some things that would cause a peak on a system board. I'm just nervous when the pops are put into a loud PA.
  36. R

    AX8 V7.01 Public Beta

    The extra spikes sound like my picking attack and pops (for the loud ones). These would not be good into a large PA unless they put a limiter on my channel. The overall sound isn't bad but I'm worried that these new spikes that sometimes are pops could get me in trouble with the sound engineer.

    Well....shoot, i did not select a different amp and then reselect my desired amp. I'll give it a try to see if it fixes the spikes. Thanks :)

    AX8 V6.02 Released

    Thanks, I actually tried taking the output 1 back to normal and I adjusted the amp level (as the release notes specify) but...same issue. I'm hoping that 7 won't have the issue as I'm not sure what to adjust for peaking.
  44. R

    AX8 V6.02 Released

    Thing is, the spikes don't exist in the 5.01 but they do exist in the 6.02. Listening to the waveforms i don't hear a significant difference(These peaks happen very fast), but I know those peaks will potentially cause trouble on the house mix board (peak lights and possible clipping).
