Just got Kick Tags this week and i was surprised at the build quality. Not only do they look great, but they are built to last. I use a pretty simple set up (as you can see) but its nice to have that glowing label when the fog is rolling and you have two left feet. Was a bit hesitant at first due to the price, but they were definitely worth it for me.My Kick Tags came in. Got them in super fast time and just in time for my show this weekend! I think they look great. Thanks @Toadfish [ATTACH=full]31122[/ATTACH]
Mike always does such great work.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.View attachment 32148 h for filter boost.
I was thinking of utilizing an rjm mini effects gizmo to incorporate pedals mainly thinking about the 4cm with real amp, so scenes wouldn't be necessary to avoid the preset swtich gaps.I'm using the 3 drives and the Empress Compressor in front of the AX8 as additional flavors and CPU savers. The Empress ParaEQ is basically redundant eye candy at this point. The Turbo Tuner is faster, more precise, and more visible than the built-in tuner.
Currently I'm manually tapping each external effect in and out, but I plan on adding a HEX under the board very soon so everything can be controlled via scenes.
I also plan on adding one or two "flavor" pedals in the FX loop, also controlled via the HEX. Probably an EHX C9 and something weird from EQD. Stuff that can't easily be done internally without a dedicated preset.

But I see you are not using any amp, so I'm VERY interested in how you'd program the ax8 to control the hex for scenes.
Actually I ended up going with the DB11. I'm using scenes as planned. It's really easy - I have 4 loops which makes 16 possible combinations. Using AX8-Edit or the panel, I choose which combination of outboard pedals I want for each scene. Usually, I stick with no pedals (PC0) or one individual loop (nothing stacked - PC1-4).
In any given scene, I might engage a delay on the AX8 and a drive via a loop. Or I might smoothly fade the reverb time from short to long while simultaneously engaging the outboard compressor.
If I need to be completely on the fly, I engage all the loops (which I've programmed to PC15) and use the actual pedal footswitches to engage/bypass.

Another follow up. So you're assigning PCs (to send to the DB) to each scene button?
Can you be my dad too? Please?...Just finished this rig for my son
Thank you for the clarification. I may end up doing the same thing. Thank you for posting.Yes, I'm assigning PCs to each scene. Even if I'm not using external in that scene, because in that case I want to send the PC that turns everything off (otherwise it will just stay in the most recently triggered state). I have a template that is already set to fire PC0 on the right channel on every scene, so I just change it to what I need per scene as necessary.
The loop switcher and all those pedals are before the AX8 input. If I do a C9 or similar, I'll put it in the FX Loop by itself and use the FX Loop block to engage that effect.
Hey where i can found this 4 foot switch??? Very cool. ?????Changed mine up a bit. Got a black Mission pedal and added my favorite Korg tuner. Also debating on adding the Expansion module so I can add 2 more switches.
