    AX 8 using exclusively for effects

    I would like to use my Fractal AX 8 only by using the effects. How ( i mean the exact steps ) can i switch CAB and AMP off? Further, do i have to use any other output or is it enough to switch it off ? I havent found anything in the owners MANUAL. Thanks in advance

    CPU Usage Chart

    Hi guys! I share with you this list of the CPU usage of each block and their types in the AX8.

This is not an official...

    Axe3 Tonematch IR won’t appear for Ax8 use

    I made an acoustic guitar tone match on my Axe Fx3 and exported it as a user cab. I then exported the user cab as a .syx file. In Ax8 cab browser, this file can not be seen in the directory. In AxeFx3 cab browser, it can be found as expected. Is there a compatibility issue here, and perhaps...

    Wish AX8-Edit - Default Scene and Tempo

    In the AX8 CFG tab we had: Controllers, FS Mode, Midi, Tuner, Tempo and Default Scene. But in the AX8 edit is missing the TEMPO and DEFAULT SCENE cfg. It will be great to make all the editing from the software, even the Tempo and Default Scene. Thanks.

    Ax8 running FOH with cab model and stage no cab model

    Bug? Delay Low & High Cut readings don't change

    FW 10.01, delay block using analog mono. When changing the high and low cut settings directly on the ax8, the graph changes, but the value readings stay at 20,000 and 20 respectively. So change is happening, but the numbers don't move.
