Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

[MASSDEFECT]

That looks great. How do you attach the AX8 to it? Velcro?

Yep. it comes with velcro. But I opted to use a 3m dual lock since the ax8 is heavy.

Got everything hard bolted down to a piece of plywood yesterday - this is the absolute minimum size I think that's possible for the ax8 and 2 exps. It's a 12"x24" sheet of plywood.

There's literally about 1/10" of clearance between the left pedal and the ax8. Right side has a little more, be thanks to the side access cable jacks. I did use connectors with the lowest profile I could find though; those flat pancake looking ¼" plugs

Anyway, here are a few pictures. next step is to get a 12x24" case!

The cables to the mission pedal are nicely tucked underneath the ax8 in a channel I cut out with my dremel tool - nice and clean looking lol.

I think I'd like to try and wedge a small power strip in the back with two additional sockets for a pair of powered monitors, but we'll see what my "smallest power strip I can find" search turns up. :-D

I've been digging the AX8 a lot. I just used it on Conan the other night with my mandola. worked perfect. nice stereo effects!

Man, that was awesome. Great band and tune. Your backup vocals and harmonies are amazing. Best wishes for great success.

 

[gdgross]

Yeah, very cool! Great tune too

Saw your AX8 with a H9:

Note: these KickTags are the embodiment of excellence.

Is it possible to connect the h9 in such a way, we can use the stereo outs of the h9 and back to the ax8 with one set of stereo outputs for full range, and another set of outputs, possibly mono or stereo with no Cab Sim to be connected to the power section of one or two tube amps.

This is feasible, provided that you position the FX block before the Cab block in a preset and utilize additional equipment- you will require a stereo output splitter; a cursory search produced the following products:

ART SPLIT Mix 4 4-Channel Passive Splitter/Mixer

This is just starting out. I plan to add a Mission Engineering exp. pedal (the popular one), and H9, and a wireless unit and possibly putting it on a Pedaltrain Novo 32 as I feel my Pedaltrain Pro is too much and too big for tight spots

. Possible saving up for different wedge or an Atomic CLR.

Just got this put together by Mike Vegas at Nice Rack Canada. Quick, 1 snake set-up with either cable or wireless access and an additional global switch for filter boost. h for filter boost.

Which Alto Model is that I have the TS112? Do you like it?

It's the TS212. I like it fine. It's a little scooped in the mids. I'm honestly thinking about going for either one of the new BOSE wedges or a CLR.

Here's mine, simple!

Woah! What case is that?

 

[mark12ax7]

Woah! What case is that?

I took my old pedal board and added modded it to make it deeper and then covered it with Tolex. I added a custom name plate just for fun.

[ZenRigs Man]

Looks great buddy - that's a really interesting looking board!

 

[selta]

Two AX8's, one band (plus an Axe-Fx II not in this picture).

On top is a Gator Gig Box, with Eventide H9 and a Mission pedal. On bottom is a PedalTrain Mono32 with the AX8 and a VoiceLive2.

 

[79_limited]

Thanks Toad. It took some soldering but so far best setup I have ever used.

I'm still a twiddle the knobs type player which is why I like the Axe8 and Strymon. Feels more old school compared to my Axe II. Less tweaking and less fussing.
