    Bypass Flashing and Slow FXEdit

    I had to restart one too many times plus some other silly issues. At the end of the day, I'd rather troubleshoot my regular board than computer issues. This one is going back for me. So, I never figured it out...

    Wish Order of drive list

    Edit. Hitting the bar before the buttons. Aka, missing the buttons and hitting the bar. But yeah. I had 45 days with it and it's too bloated and too many options for me. I'm a guitar player not pedalboard developer. I have sweet analog pedals and sweet amps and they kill and dial in quickly...

    Bypass Flashing and Slow FXEdit

    One other thing... I still am confused by true bypass mode? It bypasses absolutely everything except guitar > amp? If so, is this just to compare to your amps direct tone?

    Bypass Flashing and Slow FXEdit

    Thanks Chris. Cable is not over 6', is it common to slow things down? I have a powered hub. So the fx edit should be pretty instant and not showing that it's trying to communicate often (with the fx8). I'm running El Capitan for OS. I wonder if I should be using an older version of the...

    Bypass Flashing and Slow FXEdit

    Yes. The fx 8 seems really slow communicating with the fx8. So when I do something on the software it sometimes loses connectivity and takes a while to be available. I'm not sure about true bypass. Will it flash the message I mentioned? Does it just sit on there and flash the whole time...

    Bypass Flashing and Slow FXEdit

    Im having a few issues after playing today. Fx Edit seems really slow connecting to the unit. I'm not sure if i didn't notice it before or if its speed is just getting on my nerves. This thing pretty much needs a computer to get it where you want it so the speed of the app should be much...

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    Agreed. This makes complete sense. How do we make this a thing? How do things happen?

    overdrives and fuzz

    When you start stacking pedals, do you get a nice even volume when you want? They react a bit more drastic than my analog stuff. Like they're driving each other too much and not in an organic way. Hope that makes sense. I'm sure it's one of the hundreds of settings. :)

    I have found some nice wooly sounds. Your right about how it reacts to the guitar and pups. I'll keep digging around more.

    It's pretty sweet and sounds good with all guitars and amps. Plus it has the two channels which I'm trying to mimic

    overdrives and fuzz

    Cool, thanks a lot. I find myself tweaking a lot and struggling to get everything level. I'll try a delay and it will be louder or if I put a drive after the octave or pitch stuff it gets much louder. Getting the levels right and matched across scenes etc. I would have liked to use a bit more...

    overdrives and fuzz

    Awesome reply, thanks very much. I'll refer back to this. It sounds like this thing was really made for scenes. I've had trouble with volume balancing when I have a few pedals in a row sometimes delay will introduce a volume increase. If I have a drive after the octave the boost is...

    For sure. And I'm seriously and very honestly I'm not trying to be rude. I spent a few hours on it yesterday and today and I'm still struggling with matching levels. I feel like maybe this is really designed to work better with scrnes than a more traditional board. Do you think that's the case...

    So you're saying the design isn't questionable? I have a pod xt and hd (which I'm guessing they copied from?) and both have the bar but somehow It doesn't block the buttons. Honestly I had a helix (and a kemper) for a while and I'd say their interface is obviously not too shabby (too bad I hear...

    Wish Order of drive list

    I think it would be greAt to have the ability to organize the order of drive pedal block either alphabetically or by gain. Is there a reason for the order being the way it is? And does anyone else dislike the bar across the top? I'm no Twinkle toes :)

    I was curious if anyone has gotten close to either of these pedals. I'm trying to replace my king of tone and a sunface germanium. :) Im also looking for a good flexible low and mid gain tones. which overdrives do you guys like for this? I'm running a low watt 6v6 and also use an el86 I've...

    getting fx8 into computer.

    Thanks. I suppose there's a couple of reasons I'm using this. Primary is practice on headphones when necessary and guitar scratch tracks. I have A few handwired amps with cabs which are all single ended. I don't think I'll ever use 4 cable method, I like it all in front of the amp. I would...

    Have thought about a Roland cube street. Probably that if I get solid state. I don't mind single ended since all my amps are single channel

    Thanks and very cool. It's my first experience with what I've heard is great support. I think the iPad app would be amazing and I would guess it may indeed be coming since there's already and ax8 and fx available (I didn't know apps were already Avaible. Thanks for chiming in and cool to Chat

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    Yes, thanks. That does answer a bunch of questions. So it sounds like the pedals do have the same range across the dials. Just seemed like some of those pedals got gainy really quick. They also started to sound very similar after a bit. And based on that, it does sound like changing the...

    Well that's pretty. This must be what all the dudes talk about in regards to fractal support and updates. I would be very impressed if this got rolled out. Would be so much more fun to interact with the fx8 than the computer. Edit: just realized it's not the app developer. But still iPad Pro...

    getting fx8 into computer.

    im digging the fx8 into my amp. I practice a lot on headphones or low thru the PA. I tried it thru vsts and the sound is a bit harsh, even using IR cabinet plugins that include the two notes software and redwirez, with a really low and clean gain/sound. I like the fx8 and it's dedication my...

    Rukus - what the heck is wrong with this drive pedal?

    I guess I felt like the overdrive pedals broke up super early compared to pedals I own. The place on the dial when gain starts rolling in seems to start very low. Hope this makes sense. Low to mid gain stuff. Dont the exotic clones do cleaner and more gradual gainMaybe I'm not using the right...

    i would imagine people have mentioned this but why did they put that silly bar right there and how does it get past the people making decisions?

    Volume balancing and editing questions

    Nice man, solid advice. I think I just haven't figured out how to plan this thing out in the right way. A little theory is what I need. Do you find yourself doing a lot of in depth setting or the basic stuff you'd find on a normal board? If you set it up at stagr volume, im guessing it...

    Volume balancing and editing questions

    Volume balancing and editing questions

    Sorry. Didn't realize it was so confusing. I use the sims with fx8 in front to practice at low volume and building basic patches and getting more familiar with the unit and interface. My home 18 watt Marshall for low volume. and either an ac15, 18 watt or fender champ live and rehearsal...

    hi guys. I'm running fx8 on OS X 10.11 and the FX8 software is running pretty hot and hovering often around 60 percent which makes my fan kick on and other stuff I have running suffers; like my DAW. Seems rather silly that this would consume so much, especially considering what this does. Is...
