Out clipping

I didn't mention that it was on my clean scene, too not a high gain scene.

Out clipping

No, the out knob was in same spot as start of show. It was weird and wild. Really sucked too bc happened at the end of show and was a distraction.

Out clipping

My FM3 was clipping last night ton the output at the end of a gig. I hadn't changed my guitar or settings during the show. It made my monitor clip and I had to bring guitar volume down on the instrument to finish show without that issue. Not sure how the output managed to change levels during...

FM3 gigbag or case?

I use a pedal train classic for my FM3 set up. Holds my XLR, guitar cables and collapsible stand inside pocket and the main kit on the board. Great grab and go solution.

I have since moved the dual switch to lower right and expression pedal to beside FM3 but this worked pretty well the last two shows.

Live Use- wedge only or powered FR behind, too?

Report: Had two different gigs with the same band one Friday night and one Saturday night. Night one is a major venue in town. Brought the K10 as a monitor and learned a few things. First-don't take tuner utility off of buttons. Second- don't rely on your home "band levels". We had to set up...

Live Use- wedge only or powered FR behind, too?

I'm playing a show this evening and contemplating using only the house provided wedge as my monitor for my FM3. I have a few powered speaker options I can carry out for self monitoring/amplification but having spoke to the sound guy at this venue he assures me I don't need my speaker and can get...

Well Done FAS

I picked up an AX8 new from FAS about six months before they released the FM3 teaser. Sold it off and decided to jump on the list. I'm glad I did. The FM3 is a very good tool to have in the gear quiver. The sheer amount of useful amps from the get go and the relative ease with which I found I...

I don't remember when I put my name on the list. I recall it being shortly after I sold my AX8 and after the initial FM3 release notice came out. HTH.

Invited and purchased a non headphones FM3. Planning to use live or studio and have better audio options than a headphone out to listen to it through.

New modeler from Strymon

I bought one and was eager to have a simpler interface to use. It's definitely quicker to find a good sound out of than the rabbit hole the AX8 or Atomic A6 leads you down. For me, it's a good solution for practice and studio tones at night time levels (i.e. kids sleeping) and it's not as mind...

Hopes somewhat dashed........

Seeing how well thought out and deep the current AX8 is I have no desire to see a newer, possibly more tweakable version regardless of size come to market soon. Seriously, all the guys looking for a new version can not have mastered the in/outs of the AX8 nevermind having total command of it's...

First Gig in the books

I played my first show with the AX8 yesterday. I only used two presets and 2-3 scenes total. The unit performed wonderfully. I didn't run the monitor as I should have (out of AX8 into Xitone then into PA) but instead used the Xitone as the Aux one monitor which took out all the salt I heard when...

Creating your own

I am using my AX8 FRFR (FOH) through my PA with my band. That said, I did think the QSCs I have colored the tone coming out of my AX8 and I wanted a more neutral speaker to dial in my sounds. FFWD to now and I've received my GRFR 1/12 Xitone powered cab and haven't stopped playing my AX8 since...

Creating your own

The GRFR is great for my intent-playing guitar through it. It's light and powerful. I've yet to take the volume past noon. I don't need to and don't have to Max out the output knob on the AX8, either. It's worth the wait so far. I'm gigging it this weekend so the true test will be then.

Creating your own

It's so easy, fun and useful. I got my brand spanking new Xitone GRFR powered cab yesterday and started making my own presets. It's awesome madness how many options I have at my fingertips. Between grabbing an amp, an IR and then adding FX as needed it's easily one of the most useful tools in my...

Volume issues - Friedman asm-12 can´t keep with JCM800KK (Kt88) w/4x12

IEMs allow you to be as loud as you want in your own ears and you can have the sound guy push you up in their monitors to accommodate the need for more volume from you. Good drivers will provide the chunk and impression that you're moving air like a 4/12. Likewise you can EQ the AX8 to give you...

Volume issues - Friedman asm-12 can´t keep with JCM800KK (Kt88) w/4x12

I'd recommend getting a better monitor or IEMs over flipping the AX8. If you can't hear it then the monitor you're using doesn't have enough headroom and power for your needs. Get something that does and keep the AX8. Everyone is spot on with the use of a better monitor. From the Alto, Yamaha or...

I have a Xitone on the way. Looking forward to playing through it and getting more familiar with my AX8.

Thanks to each of you for the insights and suggestions. I'm working on learning the unit to find what works for me and my tonal needs. I'm going to buy a Xitone powered cab to better ascertain gig volume levels and sounds to make the most of what it has to offer.

Best Mic Stand Tablet Holder...?

I use the Hola!Music stand for my ipad when needed. It's adjustable to accommodate my Pixel 2 XL or Ipad and it has a bit of a stand off from the stand. With that and the ability to tilt it as I need it's a very useful Ipad holder. I had the K&M version and it would come apart every time you...

No, I will give that a go this evening. I went through all of the factory presets when I got the unit through a QSC K8. Some were good, some meh but I also think they were a good idea of what the unit is capable of doing. I liked the Fender style amps especially the tweed ones and have spent...

I own both a Mac and PC which both have the Axeditor software installed to make dialing in easier. I've been a tube amp user for the past thirty years and agree they are simpler to dial in. I have found I spend most of my time going through the amp model itself to set up the parameters...

I've only had my AX8 a little over a week and Im not sure if I should keep it. To me I find it a bit tedious to hook it up to my powered speaker, my computer and my guitar to dial in tones. The interface on the unit itself is a bit cumbersome to navigate nevermind change settings and save. All...

Anyone use thru Turbosound IP2K?

I agree with your comment about lack of mid-range and the comment about reach/throw is also on point as I've found the best implementation of this system so far to be outdoors where you need to cover a large area. I guess it would work for an outdoor jam situation but for club/small room will...

Anyone use thru Turbosound IP2K?

My new AX8 is arriving next week and I was curious if anyone had used theirs through a Turbosound IP2000. I have a board I can run the AX8 through but considered using the dual xlrs on the back of the Turbosound. I've also got a full QSC PA and IEMs to use but wanted to hear it as I intend to...
