    Thoughts On FM3 Into Seymore Duncan PowerStage 170

    Haven't had the opportunity to gig with the FM3 yet, but I'm preferring the SD > 212 set up in the studio. The EQ really helps with different cabs. Hardest part for me, is finding the right IR to use for FOH. Keen for gigs to come back so i can fine tune my patches. I'm jumping on the FM9 but...

    I don’t have copy out, I use output 2 into a power amp/cab setting. I’m sure someone else here has the answer. I’ve read similar question that we’re resolved.

    Seymour Duncan PS170 vs Fryette Powersation

    Totally vibing on my FM3 > PS170 > 212 cab rig ATM. Actually playing it more than my tube amp / pedalboard rigs. Has anyone used both the PS170 & Fryette power station that could share some input? Will the Fryette give me that extra wow factor or not? I think it would fill an excellent void, so...

    Yeah, I get that. That’s why I still use power amp and cab with the FM3. At one point I was using a Marshall 9100 & 212 cab, that thing was sooo heavy. Occasionally I go direct, but not that often.

    MIDI use with EVH head and 4CM?

    As per our message chats. Setting PC# to your amp channels then assigning and saving to a scene should work. Is the EVH midi learn the same as the Machete? As per doc I sent?

    So, what's everyone's favourite amp model?

    It's been nearly 12 months since i posted this. Right now i'm obsessed with the Friedman C45,Dirty Shirley and Deluxe Reverb. I've since added a Marshall 9100 power amp with my GFlex 212 and preferring that to direct tones. Monstrous tones. :-)

    Amp channel switching via AX8 MIDI ... assistance needed

    Yes, I've read that. Sorry but I don't understand. As mentioned above, I'm not strong with MIDI language. Is the Machete Clean- Channel 1, Clean with Boost - Channel 2, Drive- Channel 3 ? Does that mean PC change 1,2 & 3 on the AX8?

    Decisions, Decisions

    Regardless if it was the end of the line,(which it currently is not) The AX8 is the best musical purchase I've ever made, it's ridiculous how good it is. Ive A/B'd it with a Helix ( close friends) and although they are both fantastic options, IMHO the AX8 is just better all-round.

    Friedman ASC 12 questions. :-)

    You guys that are still using the ASC12, Are you building your patches with the ASC? How does it translate to FOH? curious as i'm trying to persevere but worried that FOH will be different. Are you taking a line out feed rom the ASC to FOH with good results?

    Friedman ASC 12 questions. :-)

    Friedman ASC12 arrived today. How do you guys set the HPF? on or off? I had it set on this arvo and it felt a tad anaemic. Also are you running AX8 at +4db or -10db ? Lots of readjusting to my patches needed.

    I’m currently on 8.02 I have dialled tones both direct and as pedalboard to my Supersonic 22. I’m aware of backing up my presets, which I’ve done,. When firmware is upgraded (9.03) how will that effect my saved presets?

    Thinking of buying some presets....Suggestions please??

    Hey dude. Auditioned most of the presets direct with a Yamaha DBR12, chose the ones that I thought would suit me. Saved them to the AX8 and tweaked a little and added my favourite FX. Really really happy.
  92. Lenster

    Should I as a NEWBIE purchase amp packs ?

    I’ve just purchased the Austin Buddy amp pack. Absolutely stoked. Yes there is merit in making your own presets and learning your way around the AX8, but these are an excellent starting point that need limited tweaking . :)

    Thinking of buying some presets....Suggestions please??

    I’ve just had a run thru the Austin Buddy amp pack. Blown away! Best $70 I’ve spent. This has saved me time and nearly convinced me that my amp is obsolete, well it’s definitely staying put, but, think I’m ready to start playing direct. Stoked with this purchase!
