Hey everyone,
Yesterday I ran across a product from Fractal that I didn't know about. The FX8 is an FX only floor unit that is basically a massive pedal board in one unit. It seems it is geared for folks who like the FX of the AX FX but are not really interested in the amp modeling. I was only able to find a handful of demos and reviews but most of what I am hearing sounds positive. One thing I thought was handy is that you can set it up to for channel switching on your amp or whatever else is switchable. It also has options to put some FX in front of the amp (overdrive, crybaby etc) and other FX into the FX loop of an amp (delays reverbs etc). Or you can just run the unit in front of an amp like an overdrive stomp. I thought it might compliment the Orange Rockerverb I just ordered nicely. Anyone here own one of these or have any info on the unit hat they could share? Or even comparisons to similar units? Any info or opinions you could add are greatly appreciated. Thanks!  http://www.fractalaudio.com/p-fx8-multi-ef...-pedalboard.php FX8 Manual: http://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manu...ners-Manual.pdf This post has been edited by AK Rich: Mar 19 2016, 05:53 PM |
