Hi everyone.
I'm finally ready to start building a pedalboard for my AX8 and I thought I'd share my progress. Here's my situation:
I'm pretty much a home only player. Weight and road toughness are not factors in this build. I'm coming from an AxeFx 2 and MFC which was great but I like the idea of an all inclusive setup on the floor which I can just pull out when I have the time to play and pack away easily after. The power of the AX8 was concerning as I love packed presets but I love pedals too so I bought a H9 and a couple of new pedals to go with some of my favourites.
I wanted maximum convenience so I can just connect power, plug in some speakers and my guitar and play. I also HATE cable clutter. I'm also doing this for the fun of the project and there are no real time pressures so I'm just going to do an update every couple of days as I get things finished.
I'd love to hear thoughts as I go. I'll try to explain my decisions as I post.
So here is what I'm wanting to fit on the board. I'll go from the guitar into an Axess Electronics BS-2 buffer under the riser which will have one output feeding the tuner, one coming straight back out incase I want to reamp and one output going into the pedals. The order I've decided on is: Drop->FreqOut->Compulator->phase90->ElecLady->AX8 with the H9 in the loop. The red mission pedal will be connected to the AX and the Boss to the H9. I also have a ernie ball 25K volume which will be off this board and it'll be acting as a second expression pedal for the AX
