Some video from our show last month at the House of Blues. I was using the AX8 direct but you can see my Axe-Fx in my rack with my Matrix on top of my cab. Audio is direct from the sound board.

Amazing stuff as usual! I was all set to go for an AX8 but ultimately I just couldn't pull the trigger and step away from tube amps and pedals. Therefore, today is going to be an NAD with an incoming Bogner!
.....then I log into RT and the first thing I see is another great sounding video from you and I'm confused once again, lol

Great job. Love my Axe FX 2. Release of the Quantum Firmware changed everything. Best tones are had by combining real cabinets (without IRs) and FRFR cabinets (with IRs/mic sims) at once.
Gives great stage feel of having your real 412 behind you and a FRFR wedge running IR's in front of you. Blends the raw and studio polished tones together at once.

Agree with everything you mentioned. I've played the Axe since 2013 but only for home use. Never used it for gigging. I could never get descent tones at gig volume. But like you mentioned Quantum changed that for me. And I usually run my setup like you mentioned. Although sometimes I'm to lazy to bring a cab and will bring my a FRFR to put behind me so I have that familiar sound and feel behind me.alainarose":3evdxd12 said:

You gents sound absolutely fantastic! I'd probably rather see you live than Ozzy himself....LoL!
You make the switch to modelling for live very convincing.
Well done!

Thanks guys. Still learning the AX8 but enjoying the results so far. Here is a Jake E Lee era tune from the Bark at the Moon album "Center of Eternity"

This sounds so good nobody would be able to tell it wasn't a real amp. Great band and playing.

It does sound great but if you listen closely, you can hear some digital artifacts/aliasing in the 2-4k frequency.
jk, it sounds awesome!

Very impressive. Are you using one amp model for your tones?
I'm trying to get my AX8 rig up and running for the next month of shows...FRFR for my monitoring and then direct to the board. I'm still trying to get my tones down...as with nearly every one of these types of units I've had, I think I settle on one amp, then find something else I think is better...the old "grass is greener" thing. I find the AX8 to be very complicated and somewhat frustrating. The results seems to be awesome though. If I get this working, it will a few minutes to set up and tear down. I'm using a Line 6 L2M as a FRFR monitor at the moment.

Yes, I just use the 5153 100 watt blue channel amp block with a BBPre drive block for a slight boost. It's basically setup just like my tube amp rig which is a 5153 halfstack. I've set up the AX8 to sound basically identical to that.Rayneman":1z7t7lh5 said:

I'm really interested in the AX8. I know it's great live, and in the studio. . .can you run headphones out of it, or into small powered monitors for home practice (I'm assuming you can, but figured I'd ask).
Also, I see most people use at least one expression pedal with it. What is that set up for?
Are all the amps from the AxFx2 in the AX8? Cornford, Friedman, classic Fenders, etc?

Killer! Nice work.
Yes. The limitation is you can only use one amp at a time rather than two on the rack unit; but all the models are there.
