FX8: comments from Fractal

  • "This product is aimed at the person who doesn't want to use modeling. It is specifically designed for use with an amp. The I/O architecture was designed to integrate with tube amps." Source
  • "Just effects. Specifically designed for 4CM with dedicated pre- and post- paths. Up to 8 simultaneous effects. Any number assignable pre/post. Any combination of series or parallel routing. Two expression pedal inputs, four relay outputs. USB for remote editing with free FX8-Edit software. Silent Switch technology from the MFC Mark III. True Bypass. Etc., etc. Don't drop it on your foot." Source
  • Amp channel switching? "Yes." Source
  • Anything new that's not in the Axe-Fx II? "True bypass and relay outputs. Longer Looper time. Other than that it's most of the fx from the Axe-Fx II in a floor package." Source And: "It doesn't have the vocoder or quad chorus. I think everything else is there. It has two instances of many effects (the ones where you'd want more than one)." Source
  • "Note that each relay jack is TRS so there are two relays per jack so you get four relay outputs." Source
  • "You don't have to use TRS. With a mono cable obviously you'll only get one relay output." Source
  • "Internal, universal power supply." Source
  • Tuner? "Of course." Source
  • Will it respond to Program Change and CC commands? "Yes, and it supports SCENES too." Source
  • "The FX-8 is not a substitute for the MFC. It cannot function as a dedicated MIDI controller for the Axe-Fx. It will send basic MIDI commands but it is not intended to be a MIDI controller." Source
  • "It can't do the two-way comms that the Axe-Fx II uses. It can operate as a BASIC midi controller but it's not nearly as capable as an MFC. If all you need is PC, CC and expression then, yes, it can do that." Source
