So, I'm totally stressed out over this. I've waited for about 9 months to buy the FX8, and I finally did about 2 weeks ago. I've had nothing but trouble trying to emulate my tone prior to the fx8.
So, I go to my first rehearsal with it tonight and I got a lot of complaints about how thin and compressed it sounded. My singer suggested that I use my old tone stack (pedals) and only use the fx8 for effects, in other words, don't use the fx8 drive blocks....
I really didn't want to use the FX8 in conjunction with pedals, I wanted the FX8 to do it all....haha.....
I'm sure the tone is in there, I just gotta untap it.
The funny part is that my old setup only dad an SD-1 and noise gate in the input, everything else was done through the amp (Mark IV)....
I thought that if I hooked up the fx8 and did nothing but the super OD, it would sound the same. Not the case at all.
I'm pretty upset......
