    Bryan Adams "Summer of 69" using Mokes custom preset

    Cool thanks Mark. If you're going to create a preset for It's Only Love, here's a post from Keith Scott where he details his rig. The Reckless album was recorded March 1984 so according to what he's saying here he used a 100 watt Marshall (looks like a JCM 900 or JCM 800) in the studio. So the...

    Bryan Adams "Summer of 69" using Mokes custom preset

    Does that preset have a scene for lead and does the tone sound like the lead in this song?

    Which Amps and Cabs

    For anyone interested, I found a list of the pedals the different Drive blocks are modeled after: https://wiki.fractalaudio.com/axefx2/index.php?title=Drive_block#Drive_models

    Why do amp heads have a speaker setting?

    Ok thank you Chris, does GEQ stand for Graphic EQ and are you talking about an effect block?

    Effect Block Ordering

    Ok thanks, I was thinking in terms of a stage set up. Yes, I've read half of the Ax8 manual. I must have forgotten that part.

    Why do amp heads have a speaker setting?

    Thanks guys! Do you have a view as far as when to tweak the non-linear characteristics in the amp block, like do you generally tweak the cab and leave the amp speaker settings alone?

    Which Amps and Cabs

    Fantastic thank you yeky83! Did you notice some cabs have mics on them and some don't. Do you know why this is? By the way I found an Effects List at that Wiki, but it doesn't show which real life pedals the effects are modeled after. Do you know of such a list?

    Effect Block Ordering

    I haven't bought my Axe8 yet. Do Fractal products come with some patches (presets), or are "effects patches" something different? The thing I don't understand is in the physical world, if I put something after the cab it would be unusable. Are we saying because it's all virtual, order is...

    Why do amp heads have a speaker setting?

    Why do amps have a speaker setting section in Axe8Edit if a cab (which houses the speakers) is being used? Isn't this redundant?

    Which Amps and Cabs

    Does such a list exist that shows which real life amps/cabs the factory amps/cabs are modeled after and which speakers are in the virtual cabs? Sometimes you can tell by the names, others you can't tell. Secondly, are there third party companies selling virtual amps for Fractal products? Are...

    AFIII Every Fender Amp Type Demo

    It would be very helpful if someone with the ability to listen to a preset and know which songs are ideal for that preset, would compile an ongoing list presenting these matches, and at what points in a song to change scenes. I for one am just not good at this and doubt I ever will be. There...

    AFIII Every Fender Amp Type Demo

    https://austinbuddy.com/shop/new-tonepack-for-the-axe-fx-iii/ So the 1000 Naked Amps product is a collection of 1000 presets/scenes right? (not amps) And they use the amps and cabs that come with the Axe Fx 3? Are the presets based on artists' tones?

    Will Axe-Fx 2 patches work in an AX8?

    If I'm understanding this correctly, I can download the patches at the following link (made for Axe Fx 2), but I can't just load them into Ax8 Edit? I need to first use FracTool to convert them? And will the versions in older firmware (back to 6.0) work too? http://tylergrund.com/axefx2/

    2nd amp block

    All the posts prior to this one are from 2016. It's 2 years later now. Has anything developed here in terms of news about a new floor model that allows a 2nd amp block? (I take it the AX8 is unlikely to ever offer this due to hardware limitations.)

    keith scott - lead tone - what am i hearing?

    Did any of you guys ever end up creating a preset based on Keith Scott's rig that may be available? Here's a recent video where they get pretty close to his sound using a Boss Katana 2x12 amp:

    Best Studio Headphones for AX8

    In looking at the DT 770's, there is a DT 770 i, and a DT 770 Pro. Does anyone know the difference? Also there is a 32 ohms version, an 80 ohms version, and a 250 ohms version. Which one is best suited?

    Best Studio Headphones for AX8

    Blue Mo-fis are $175 new other, or $99 pre-owned, on ebay. Are open backs necessarily better for referencing? I was leaning toward buying closed cans to prevent leakage when recording.

    AX8 Firmware Version 10.01

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but let's say I have 20 pre-sets I bought that I absolutely love that emulate particular artists that were all made in say 9.xx firmware (or 6.xx, or 7.xx), won't I have to know how to tweak all of them after upgrading to 10.01? Aside from maybe adding a...

    Will Axe-Fx 2 patches work in an AX8?

    Will Axe-Fx 2 patches work in an AX8?

    I'm not seeing this answered anywhere in this forum. I read that FracTool can convert Ax8 patches to Axe Fx 2, but can it convert the other way? Also, hypothetically lets say a patch is made on 6.0 firmware, if an Ax8 has 10.0 firmware will that 6.0 patch no longer work on that Ax8?

    Where can I get the best SRV tones

    I noticed Tyler Grund created his SRV patch in the Axe Fx 2. Can it be loaded into the Ax8, and will it work? Also, when he created it, as you can see in his video, he used two amps. I vaguely remember possibly hearing that the Ax8 Editor can only create one amp for a patch. Is this accurate...

    Cool now I can see how the set up would look with the Axe Fx as well as the Ax8. You guys are awesome thank you! Stratavarious, if set up that way would the Ax8 be fully functional as far as sending pre-sets from my the Ax8 Editor to the Ax8? Or would the Ax8 have to connect some other way...

    Backing Tracks Set up

    If could find one in the $100-$200 range I'd be into that, or if I can find an MFC around $350 maybe that would be worth it. Right now though the cheapest ones on ebay are $700 plus.

    Backing Tracks Set up

    Thank you! I'm not opposed to the MFC but they are like $1000 on top of the cost of the Axe Fx 2. The MFC being a MIDI foor controller doesnt have similar capabilities to the Ax8, or does it? For that money I am wondering if it is a live option like the Ax8. I'm going to list a different...

    Backing Tracks Set up

    So if the Axe Fx 2 only needs a usb cable to plug into my PC, it appears to be the PC friendly option for use with backing tracks. If I want to use a footswitch would I have to use the MFC 101 MIDI controller, or are there more simple options? I'm a little intimidated my MIDI and in the past...

    Hello, if I am interested in playing the Ax8 along with backing tracks to practice, using headphones, what does that set up look like? Since I'm assuming there's interaction between the Ax8 and my Windows 10 PC, 1) would I have the headphones plugged into the Ax8 or my PC? 2) would I need...

    Where can I get the best SRV tones

    Thanks guys! I've never really understood MIDI. I guess I'm a little hesitant to go that route with a footswitch. Is there a learning curve? Is the tonal quality between the Axe Fx and the Ax8 the same or is one generally better?

    Where can I get the best SRV tones

    Does anyone have experience with this? Also, if I want to be able to press a footswitch to go from clean to dirty, is this doable with the Axe FX 2 or do I need to use the Ax8?
