    Will 10 be the last AX8 firmware ever?

    That would be cool if there was an AX8 update. I'd love to see one. It's a shame watching all this great new digital amp technology go obsolete so quick for something better. I recently built Fender Deluxe and Fender Blackface tube amps from Mojotone. What a real treat. Both sound...

    SPDIF Drop Out Issues

    I've recently been experiencing dropout issues when using my AX8 and Scarlett 6i6. How is the master and slave relationship set up on the AX8? I usually run the AX8 as master and the 6i6 as slave, by setting the Clock Source as "S/PDIF" in Focusrite Control. Is there a way to make the AX8 the...

    Metronome control from ax8-edit/footswitch

    I'm interested in having this as well. Would be nice to control the metronome through AX8-EDIT or one of the foot-switches rather than bending over to the floor.

    Randy Rhoads tone?

    I remember reading he double-tracked a lot of his lead solos. Sometimes triple-tracked. A small delay as a previous posted would help get you that sound...

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    I use a AX8 and 6i6 over SPDIF and have not had any issues. FWIW my DAW is Reaper.

    Blown speaker sound with Compressor off

    Thanks for explaining what the differences are I appreciate it! I think what was happening was that I was double-clicking the Level knob which sets it to -12.0 dB (from Benson default) and then mistakenly cranking the Master Volume to compensate. It's funny that the compressor cleans it up...

    Blown speaker sound with Compressor off

    Sorry I already did a factory reset and reloaded the factory presets. Even now I still get a 'crunch' on the Mr. Benson preset but it's way better than before. Originally I was using the Mr. Benson present and noticed that the Master Volume was at 10, now it appears to be 5 by default (after...

    AX8 V7.00 Released

    I'm experiencing the distortion sounds as well. I'll try the fix above. Didn't seem to fix my issue. My amps sounds dirty when the compressor is off but magically cleans up when the compressor is on. Update: False alarm. I was being a moron and double-clicking the Mixer Level which sets it...

    Blown speaker sound with Compressor off

    Been using my Ax8 for a few weeks now and for some reason when using presets that use a compressor I get a blown speaker sound when the compressor is turned off and a clean sound when the compressor is on. (Just updated to Q7.00 and noticed the same thing.) As an example, I'm using a preset...

    Scene/clicking issue

    What are the situations when this occurs, is it all the time? Are you connected to AX8-Edit when this happens? The only time I noticed 'hiccups' was when I was running AX8-Edit and have Preferences -> Options -> "Automatically pause the communications when an AX8 front-panel change is...

    AX8 edit freezing up

    Awesome, didn't know about this either. Also, one thing I noticed while recording is that if it's unchecked (no pause) there is a noticeable delay/hiccup when switching between scenes. When it's checked the delay goes away.

    AX8 Incoming

    I recently purchased an AX8 as well and I can say for sure that you will love it. I used to own a Line 6 POD X3 Live and the tone from that thing was so bad that I literally swore to myself I'd never buy another L6 product again. In regard to the AX8, let me just put it like this, whatever...

    SPDIF dropouts and noise since FW 6.02

    Fwiw, I got the AX8, 6i6 (2nd Gen), and Pro Tools recording over SPDIF this weekend with no issues. Recorded all day yesterday, everything was solid. I did have issues setting up the Focusrite drivers with PTF, but even before that the AX8 sounded fine through the 6i6 over SPDIF.

    Recording help

    Good catch, eventually I did. At first, I ran PTF (successfull@ 48 kHz ) without having Focusrite installed. The reason I didn't install Focusrite right away was because I was concerned that the bundled driver may interfere with the PTF one. After I confirmed that PTF worked with the new...

    Recording help

    UPDATE: Found the solution. Before installing the Pro Tools First specific driver you need to uninstall ALL of the USB drivers bundled with the Focusrite Control software first. WARNING: Installing the Pro Tool First specific driver AFTER the Focusrite Control software drivers are installed...

    Recording help

    I'm in the EXACT same boat as the OP. Purchased an Ax8 + 6i6 and am now trying to use Pro Tools First, "bundled" with the 6i6, to record some guitar. The pedal and interface are working great but for some reason the DAW keeps reverting to a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, regardless of the options...
