AX8 now or later?

I would get the AX8 now. It's a great unit, if the time comes that you feel you need to upgrade to a newer version, then by all means. I doubt you would lose much selling an AX8 down the road.

AX8 2?

I just got my AX8 but wouldn't be disappointed if a new version came out tomorrow. It's a great unit and the current price is amazing. If version 2.0 came out, I would hold off buying for a few months lol but when my name came up on the list, it would be a definite trigger pull. Main thing I...

JP-2C with the FX8?

Thank You Chris! I think the 4 cable method is the way to go in order to get the most out of the unit. It's been a while since I've had an AxeFx (5+ years) but I'm hoping my time with the unit in the past will help make focussing on effects a bit easier.

Mark IV-Anyone know how to simulate EL34 in outer sockets?

I used to run my Mark IV like this. Best way to describe the difference is that 4 6L6's were a bit bassier/looser and seemed to favor using higher mid eq settings (no classic V scoop). Adding the 2 x 34's seemed to tighten up the bass response, gave it a bit more girth and I found it easier to...
