    Can the FX8 do this?

    Wondering if the FX8 has the ability to do the following: 1. Can I set up a flanger block where, when using the X/Y button, it's routed in front of my amp on the X setting and in the loop on the Y? 2. Can I have a patch that bypasses the preamp section of my amp altogether so that the routing...

    Typical PA Speakers vs Specialized FRFR Options

    I am hoping to gain a better understanding of the purpose of specialized FRFR options from the likes of Friedman, Xitone, etc. vs typical PA speaker say, for the sake of discussion, something like powered QSCs or something similar. I can only assume the specialized FRFR options aimed towards the...

    Treble Parameter in Drive Block

    I noticed the treble parameter in several drive blocks is only accessible in the editor and not on the FX8 itself. This seems like a critical adjustment to have access to particularly when adjusting to certain rooms. Can this be added?

    I/O Audio Page

    There seems to be a discrepancy between the manual and version 1.02. Page 64 of the manual indicates on the I/O audio page that output 2 (post) should have three settings; left only, L+R sum, and stereo. On my FX8 it only has L+R sum and stereo options. Why is that? It seems that if I am...

    Mod Page for Delay Block

    One of many n00b questions that will be coming from me...if I want to disable modulation from delays is it a matter of scrolling to the depth parameter and turning it to zero or is there some other way to do it? Does it make sense to have a modulation enable/disable option which collapses the...

    Best configuration for live use

    I am trying to figure out how to best configure the FX8 for live situations I am currently involved in. I use three sounds from my amp - clean, low/mid gain and high gain. At a minimum, I'd like to have a compressor automatically kick on when I switch to the clean channel and off when I...

    Buffering in FX8?

    The FX8 product description indicates it features true bypass. Are there selectable buffering options in the FX8 at both the instrument input and pre/post sections?

    Axe into FX Return of Amp - Underwhelmed

    I just received a new XL and I wanted to test it out into the effects return of one of my tube amps feeding a guitar cab. Using this configuration, I disabled the power amp and cab modeling, expecting it to behave like a regular preamp and I'm seriously underwhelmed. Am I missing an important...

    HELP! 2 days before gig and output seems fried

    As the title reads, I am 2 days away from an important gig and the output volume on my AxeFx seems like it's fried. I have to max the output level to barely get any volume and it's a very harsh/brittle sound. I have tried it both into the return of the effects loop of my amp and two different...

    Balancing levels question

    I was spending some time today trying to balance levels between my clean, mid gain, and heavily overdriven sounds. For each sound I want to have the ability to have a level bump for soloing. Since clean sounds have the most dynamic content, I got my clean patch as loud as I could just before...

    Rack Stand Suggestions?

    Looking for suggestions for some sort of stand I could put a small 3-4 space rack on that would tilt the rack slightly upwards with the rack at roughly waist height or higher. Possibly something along the lines of what Adrian Belew had in his YouTube AxeFx vid. The mixer stands offered at the...

    Weird problem that happened tonight

    Earlier tonight I powered up my AxeFx and power amp and as I turned up the output level on my AxeFx, the output was extremely faint. I turned the output up more and more and the output remained faint. I checked all my cables, I/O settings, the patch itself (which was simply an amp block), and...

    Power amps that exceed guitar cab wattage

    I see many of you are using solid state power amps that exceed the wattage ratings of your guitar cabs and wondering if it's been posing any problems for you? I use a mono 2x12 cabinet with a total speaker wattage rating of 130 watts and I see guys with similar stuff using something like a...

    Analog delays (i.e. DMM, Memory Lane, etc.)?

    I tried doing a search on this but my results came back with a pages and pages of results and I couldn't find it. Has anyone had any luck getting convincing analog delays along the lines of a Deluxe Memory Man or Memory Lane and if so, do you have audio clips you'd be willing to share? Also...

    How many of you are using the boost function?

    Took my go-to high patch, backed off on the drive but engaged the boost on the amp and liked the results. Made the attack more immediate and tighter. Cool stuff.

    Is the UX2 killing my sound?

    I have been having some challenges getting a good recorded sound from my AxeFx and wondering if the UX2 could be the culprit, or at least a contributor, and to what degree. Does anyone have personal experience comparing the Axe into a UX2 versus another interface? For the record, I have been...

    Are 1024 IRs still split?

    Trying to bone up on IRs and it looks like at one point 1024 IRs were split in two but in sifting through the IR forum there was talk about how that was all going away. I'm thoroughly confused. Also, how do you guys remember which User cab is which IR?

    How to upload Banks?

    Searched the Wiki and not clear on how to go about uploading banks. I have update my firmware plenty of times with no problem using SysExLibrarian. Do I need to use the editor for this? I'm on a Mac but have Parallels since it appears to be a executable file.

    Dialing in recording tones

    I currently use my AxeFx into an DCM150 and a 4x12 cab. I've gotten some decent tones with this setup but am finding that when I plug my AxeFx into my computer, no cab/mic combination sounds anything close to the sound coming from my 4x12. I realize I have to change my thinking and need to be...

    Levels changing when adding blocks

    Probably really basic question but why do levels change when effects blocks are added? Some examples: 1. I dialed in a delay sound I liked using a simple delay block - everything else shunts. I then decided to add a pitch block in series before the delay. As soon as I add the pitch block...

    4CM Hiss...AGAIN...

    I've been wanting for some time now to use the 4CM with my Ultra and SLO but have not been able to. This is my last attempt before the Ultra goes up for sale. I solved the ground loop issue but the noise floor/hiss is unbearable. In searching the forum I came across a post where Cliff...

    How do/will you configure your MIDI controller?

    Regardless of which controller you are or plan on using, how are you all setting up your boards? Are you going with using the bottom row of switches (insert controller of choice here) for preset changes and the remainder of the switches for IA? Regarding IA, are you simply...
