Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

Yeah, great guy to deal with and these buttons really are helpful. Seems like an "extra" thing but once you start using it them they really do make a difference.

I've been wanting something like this. Before Fractal I was a G-System user for 7 years and was very used to the big ole buttons on it.

After attaching these buttons are the switches at a higher level than the handle bar? That would be nice. Maybe with the Tallboy variant?

Execellent

I'm moving from the AxeFx with the rack and a Line 6 G90 wireless system to this. The missing pedal on the lower right side is on order from loop-master. It's an A/B/Y switch where I'll take both line outs from the two Line 6 wireless units and send to the input on the AX8. This allows me to switch guitars from my tech and I'll just toggle between the two wireless units.View attachment 34238 View attachment 34239 View attachment 34240 View attachment 34241

Did you need to take the rubber feet off the ax8 to fit the board and are they shorter than standard xlr plug ends coming from the ax8?
I just realised that the xlr ends wont fit through those cable holes so will need to be wired in, bummer.
Neither will the power cable to the ax8, argh I purchased this board without thinking it through properly doh.

I did have to take the feet off and I just had to unscrew the ends of the XLR's and then put them back on after i fed them through. The power cable I just shaved off just a little of the plastic with a razor blade to get it to fit. Didn't affect the integrity of the cord at all.

So have you taken the feet off the ax8 and left them off? Have you replaced the screws?

Easiest casino gig setup ever.

Custom-made board that fits in my Pedal Train case.

Connections and cables run... working on patches and integrating the MC6. Fun flexible rig

I did take the feet off, and just used the old screws and screwed them back in without the feet. Worked fine for me

Latest incarnation of my board. I moved everything to a Temple Audio Trio board, which has worked out great - everything just about fits and I love the cable management and modules on the side for connections.

One expression pedal on the board (wah and whammy) and I have a separate one that I keep somewhere convenient on the floor for gigging, for effect blends and fades etc. The second expression pedal plugs into the side of the temple board via an expansion module. Super convenient!

Nice. I have a Temple Board shipping. How did you get power through the holes in the board for the AX8?

I cut the cable, fed it through, and then reconnected it using a terminal block underneath.

Did you remove the feet from the AX8?

 

[kayhansen73]

I'm a new user and love this great unit with this incredible sound!
I did not remove the feet but I used a lot of great bands on the sides.
To switch the power on cable I filed a few holes, also for passing the XLR.
Temple Audio Design and 'very lightly.

Hi mate,

yes, I did. To get the AX8 to nicely attach to the board, I actually ended up removing all the screws underneath too

(don't worry, there's no chance of anything coming undone as the end panels are still attached so the bottom plate cannot slip out.)

Dude. I think that's the exact layout I'm planning. I was still trying to figure out the board size though- looks like you nailed it. Is it a trio 28?
Also, what are you saying about using bands to attach it to the board? I'm not following. Sounds like you didn't use Temples's plates...

Here's mine:

Awesome. Thanks for the follow up. Trio 28 is the way to go, the Mono pro bag fits, and the holes aren't large enough for the power cord... But nothing a Dremel cant handle I'm sure!
When it comes to the straps, how did you route them? I don't have my ax8 in front of me and I haven't really studied it's base, and I don't know that I see it well enough in the pics. I understand the straps go through the holes in the board, but what do you put them through on the bottom of the ax8? And how many did it take to get a secure hold?
I'm assuming to put the Temple plates on the bottom of the ax8 I'd have to remove the feet. Otherwise, any particular concern about using the plates?
Thanks-
