My AX8 came in. Just magical!

Why the outboard tuner?

i believe that's a feature of the Shure wireless he's using. the receiver has a tuner built in.

@scottburrow DID YOU TURN IT ON YET?!?!?

 

[scottburrow]

Congrats! How do you plan on using the Boss switch?

You can do all kinds of things with it. I'll mainly use it as a boost. Null filter 3.5 volume. I have it set for momentary, so whenever my foot is on it it's on.

I bet he's playing now. I'm not expecting any signs of Scott for awhile. Ha ha.

Yeah, thats where I have been for the last hour or so. Dang this thing is so cool. My cords come tomorrow so I'm using junk cables, it doesn't look pretty with all the cords hanging out, but it sure sounds awesome!

Folks I'm telling ya, once you play this thing your mind will be blown!!!

 

[Molekiller]

Can't wait for my mind to be blown! Got my email last night. My order went in a few minutes ago!

i don't know if i'll be posting as quick as most of the new ax8 users. think i'll want to unbox, plugin and play for a few hours first! in the meantime i'll live vicariously thru all of you that got one already (until my invite comes). enjoy!

Oh gosh! I LOVE this idea...

 

[scottburrow]

Oh gosh! I LOVE this idea...

Oh yeah, on my Axe-fx with MFC101 I had four. Say you want to turn on a delay or drive momentarily when your foot is on it, no problem with a switch. Endless possibilities.

Congrats Scott... waiting to hear your take on the AX8! I'm ramping up on selling off my rig if I start hearing what I think I'm going to hear.

 

[jageya]

Dont get why you guys with axe fx raCKS act so blown away..its the same amps and cabs and less effects but still many of the same ones..just in a different form factor..lol....like coke in a new can...and everyone who loves coke thinks it tastes better in the new can..lol

Unless I was building my own presets I didn't take the time with the factory presets to tweak basic amp controls. So now scrolling through presets it's much easier to dial things in and out which I wasn't doing before. So it is new, at least the way I'm interacting now

this is an excellent situation that shows how the RAC12 is very beneficial to Axe-Fx II users. check them out!!!

Nice Scott!

I hate to look like a fool and gush over this thing, but it's hard not to, it's just the size of the device, with the tone that is coming out of it shouldn't be possible, but it is. I have been playing the plexi 100 since i turned it on. I can't stop playing it. Now I know how Cliff feels when he gets lost in one of his amp captures. This is alien Technology...lol.

 

[Diego]

Congrats Scott, enjoy the new machine!

 

[1poorplayer]

Thanks for the pics Scott. It's always a good sign to lose track of time while playing a great amp sound.
I'll be checking the forum once in a while to see reports from you guys that got your toys for Christmas ! Enjoy !

It absolutely is the wireless receiver/excellent tuner of the Shure GLXD, the Line 6 killer

 

[PRSfreak4]

My AX8 came in Woohoo!!!!!

Awesome Scott congrats! Mine should be to me Tuesday, JUST in time for Sarajevo @ church next week. Muahahahahahahaha, I'll try to GoPro some AX8 action

 

[MrGuitarabuse]

Oh my Buddha... Is the AX8 that "small" or those EV1s that massive?

 

[scottburrow]

Oh my Buddha... Is the AX8 that "small" or those EV1s that massive?

Yes on both. Those EV-1's are huge, and the Ax8 is smaller than I remember. Killer setup, I play the 27th, so tomorrow I start creating presets for songs.
