Quick Fractal AX8 clip

[Bishop5150]

Got my AX8 all setup over the weekend so figured I'd record a quick video. Was having some fun with a killer Eruption preset from the Axe Change by Moke and my Franky replica. I've got the AX8 connected to my Matrix and 2 XiTone wedges.

Wow.... *starts pricing fractals*

Yeah, sounds good......& I know from personal experience that it sounds much better in the room.

Awesome tones man. I love my Axe so much. Dig the Franky rep and the shoes too!

Lmao! Thanks. I didn't even think about what shoes I was putting on when I did this. I have to have some kind of shoes on when messing with any of the Fractal pedals. The damn buttons hurt when your barefooted.

Sounds really killer, was that patch made for the ax-8 or ported over from the axe II? I am still waiting for my invite, can't wait!!

That Eruption patch was ported over from the Axe II patch created by a guy named Moke.


The killer clip below of a Brown Sound patch created by Guitarzen is also available for the Axe II & AX8.

Yep, that's Moke's Eruption patch. Somebody ported it over to the AX8. Here's the link to it in a discussion in the AX8 Forum section.

I just had to tweak it a little for my setup and tastes. Added some highs and some more reverb on the rhythm patch. Other than that it was good to go.

That one sounds amazing as well. Moke's is the first one I've heard though that nails that dive bomb effect at the end of Eruption. Just awesome.

Are you happy with the Xitones? I keep going back and forth between one of those and the CLR.

I am happy with them but I've never used anything else so I have nothing to compare the to. I did try an Alto monitor when I first got my Axe-Fx a couple of years ago but quickly returned it. I do have the Friedman ASM-12 on order with Sweetwater back order though. Should hopefully get it in a week or two.

Sounds great, nicely done! I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the ASM-12 with that setup. Either way, nice compact and sounds great.

Hopefully it ships soon. My Sweetwater rep said it would be a week or two and that was last week. I hate waiting for gear.

Sounds pretty good to me. I was curious about those before...even more so now.

Only issue I've had with the unit so far is some CPU over limit warnings when transferring over large presets from my Axe-Fx. Easily resolved by changing the Reverb to normal instead of high quality and using spring instead of plate.
