Really dont know...Is there a big difference between the regular older Eris 8’s and the newer Eris 8 XT’s for ACE3 use? The price on Amazon is like double for the newer XT’s.

I totally agree: a foot controller is not a must have but nice to have!hi dlw and an early welcome!
1/ nothing else required except maybe a foot controller - very useful to have. Also, an expression pedal is great so you can choose what type of wah pedal you want, and for volume swells etc.
2/ in your position, I’d be looking at the best studio monitors you can afford.
i reckon you’ll have no amps or cabs in a couple of years ;-)
thanks

Yes. The technical specs are floating around somewhere, but I remember everything was top of the line.
the wahs are great on the III. you can use controllers and LFOs, etc, to do cocked wah fx as well as your expression pedals (make sure whatever brand u choose, it must be one with a TRS cable.)So a no on my Harbinger 15’ powered monitors I picked up off Craigslist for $80. Just kidding!
I did a lot of looking on the monitors etc. mentioned yesterday. Will keep looking and learning and pricing.
Thinking of letting go my CAE and BBE wah pedals and picking up Fractal or other brands. Saw pictures of Mission brand ones in posted pics here.
?.........Any of these pedals way better for the buck or just get one any one and use it?
Maybe I will get like they do on that TV show Hoarders when then talk a good talk about letting stuff go until the dumpster gets dropped of and they start loosing their sh*t. Lol. Its time to thin the heard and I already have a plan just seeing if I need to keep a few pedals. Sounds like I really do not need a wah if I get an expression pedal.
?.......Is there anything inside the AXE 3 like a cocked wah like a Dunlop Q zone / Dunlop KFK pedal. Same pedal different graphics.
Thanks for all the awesome and useful info!
sorry to hijack this thread. Im currently using a scarlett 6i6 audio interface. I have it to monitor both backing tracks from my laptop and AX8 which I formerly own. Im soon to be an Axe III owner (yippee!) and am wondering if I would still need the scarlett for the same purpose or I could using still jam along with backing track from my laptop through Axe III as my AI. Greatly appreciate you advice guys!
You can use the Axe III in place of your Scarlett. When connected via USB and you have the Axe III setup, simply select the Axe III as the audio source on your laptop. The Axe-Fx III is a full-blown audio interface, information about the interface features are found in the manual.
Do people ever use sub woofers with the AXE? Not sure if those frequency are even used or needed with guitar?
The Axe III is a bit of a gateway drug. You'll need more.
There has been mention of a lot of monitors that are (or were) used at Fractal, specifically Presonis Eris but also Yamaha HS8, JBL, and Friedman. Mr. Chase has said he personally uses Event Opals. Fractal was using Meyer Sound and Eastern Audio Works at AxeFest this year for testing and playing the FM3. And there was also talk of some really expensive Dynaudio monitors that were being used or tested at one point.Thanks!
Not sure if its ok to ask this or not but has it ever been mentioned which model. FR/FR system or studio monitors were used with the AXE system with testing the amp models and everything.
It was just something I just wondered if that info was ever posted. Thinking that many would work great but what about the ones that were used in R & D? Maybe many models to get a broad view. Probably something I could not afford anyway. Lol. Just curious.
