    Switching between presets that aren't in the same banks LIVE

    Hello, I was curious about 2 things (1 of which is mentioned in the thread title): Firstly, I'm curious if it's possible to switch BACKWARD through the preset list? F2 only switches forward, as we all know. Is there a way to go back? Secondly, is there a way to switch between 2 presets that...

    Just purchased AX8

    Hey FAS Folks! I'm relatively new here (first post was yesterday!) and am already feeling the love of these forums. You all are so amazingly supportive and seem like great people. I can't wait to ask sooooo many questions now that I am taking the leap to an AX8. Anyway...I just ordered an AX8...

    [Solved] AX8 reamping feedback problem?

    So new user here. I have my AX8 for few weeks now and I'm still exploring what it can do. Few days ago I tried to do reamping. And I could not pass the problem with the feedback. I already recorded the DI signal so I'm now at the point with the actual reamping. I know, I know - you will...

    Another AX8 or Axe-Fx II Advice Thread

    Hey all! New here as I just sold my gear to fund making the leap to the FAS world. I want to know if I should go with an AX8 or an Axe-Fx II XL w/controller. Some info about me: I will play mostly metal, but a range (think Between the Buried and Me/Devin Townsend/prog/metal stuff) Atmospheric...

    Problem: Ax 8 switches respond too late

    Hello, Checking out my second hand bought Ax8 and I have two things I don't like and that I hope are adjustable: 1 When I press any main button softly it doesn't seem to switch every time, now it even feels like I almost have to kick it te get from one preset or scene to another. Can you...

    First Impressions of the AX8 - Like being given the -Keys To The Lamborghini-

    Morning all, -Not a reader check out the video- Only a week in, but the only thing I keep thinking is why didn’t I take the plunge sooner. I’ve been on the fence about buying any Fractal for years, I don’t think it was the price I think it was more so me holding back and thinking that it...

    RCF or QSC Experience?

    Howdy all. Looking for some live sound speakers. I've checked out most of the FRFR modeling cabs, so this isn't a thread on those... I'm looking for a more versatile investment first, as I'll use the the cabs for multiple chores aside from AX8 pairing. Having said that, I'm interested to...

    What do you use for backup if AX8 dies at gig?

    My AX8 has been supper reliable and is built like a tank, but it is an electronic box and electronics can die at any moment for any number of reasons. And while I've never heard of an AX8 dying at a gig, it certainly could. Without a backup you would be totally screwed. I've considered picking...

    How to connect AX8 to Focusrite Clarett 2pre by digital data channel?

    From AX8 manual: S/PDIF OUT – This outputs a digital copy of the Main Output. The S/PDIF clock is fixed at 48kHz. Unfortunately Clarett doesn't have S/PDIF input. But it has optical one. From Clarett manual: OPTICAL INPUT – a TOSLINK connector carrying eight channels of digital audio in ADAT...

    More Brit 800 #34 goodiness

    I have been working on a new Brit 800 #34 preset this week, so when Leon (@2112) posted a demo today, I thought I would fix the last bits and pieces and make a short demo today. Leon uses an IR from a Mesa Boogie cab with V30s and gets some great modern tones. I am going for a more classic...

    Wich sounds closes to Landau TSC rig :

    I wonder if someone could alter or fix AX8 tones to be more like the XL tones. Cheat with using someting else to compensate for Reverb shutting down on to many block inserts.. Pitcher, phaser(ad some lush), chorus (wich one of them are best in ax8), multi delay that can be like reverb included...

    AX8: FX Loop Send + Power Amp problem

    Hi everyone, Today I tried hooking up my AX8 to my Orange Rockerverb 50 power amp. I turned off the Power Amp Modeling, and bypassed the Cab Modeling on the AX8, and connected the Orange's FX Loop Send to the AX8's OUT1 L with a jack cable. The setup works, in a way, yet it is way too quiet...

    New Atomic Amplifire 6.

    Hope I'm in the right forum with this post. Anyone see this yet? http://atomicamps.com/amplifire-6/ Basically an Atomic Amplifire with 3 extra footswitches. I had an Atomic Amplifire. Hated it, sounded ghastly. I won't be buying one, but imagine an ax8 in that size. It would be pure heaven!

    Tablet recommendations for FracPad app

    Hi, guys! I downloaded FracPad for an old Kindle I had lying around and hoped they might play well together so I could use it to tweak my AX8 live at church. Unfortunately, my Kindle is too old. I'm open to any tablet really, but at least need one that fits FracPad's requirements. Of course...
