![]() ![]() “Stompbox Mode” provides traditional ON/OFF switching, plus XY switching (with press & hold).Each effect can be configured as desired: Pre/Post, Series/Parallel.Up to eight simultaneous effects per preset, with state-of-the-art “Fractal-quality” algorithms.128 PRESETS allow you to create 128 completely different pedalboards.Easy-to-use with a 160×80px display, 6 buttons, 5 knobs, and minimal menu diving.FX8 can control or respond to other MIDI gear in your rig with MIDI IN and OUT/THRU ports.Two onboard PEDAL jacks to connect footswitches or expression pedals.Two onboard TRS RELAYS to control your amp’s channel or effect switching.Eleven quiet, durable solid state footswitches with no mechanical contacts to fail.“Built Like a Tank” with a powder-coated steel chassis and aircraft aluminum end panels.FX8 is an advanced multi-effects processor, perfect for guitar, bass, and other instruments.The DELAY block offers types for analog, digital, tape, and more. For instance, the DRIVE block includes simulations of 34+ different fuzz, overdrive, distortion, and boost pedals. Effects are placed as “blocks,” many of which can be configured as various effect “types”. The FX8 offers a stunning array of stompbox and studio effects, all based on the effect algorithms made famous by our Axe-Fx II line of processors. In the tradition of all Fractal Audio Systems products, the FX8 is fully compatible with Fractal-Bot for preset sharing, easy backup and restore, plus firmware updates as new features are added. A precision tuner, two global equalizers and a dedicated, global 4-minute stereo Looper are also built-in.įX8-EDIT, a full-featured software editor, is also included free. Utilize MIDI or onboard controllers for automated dynamic effects. You can connect up to two expression pedals (like the Fractal Audio EV-1) to control Wah, Whammy, Volume, or virtually anything else. ![]() ![]() The fantastically flexible modifier system enables easy real-time sound changes. Scenes provide a kind of control very similar to traditional “loop switcher” rigs. Many effects also offer “XY” switching, which gives them two completely different sound settings: imagine dialing in a single drive pedal with both “Overdrive” and “Fuzz” channels, or a reverb with foot-selectable “spring” and “hall” sounds. Use Stompbox Mode on the FX8 for traditional effect “tap dance” switching, or leverage the eight SCENES in each preset to engage pre-defined effect combinations from a single switch. Using the optional “four cable” setup, you can place each effect “PRE” (between guitar and amp, where pedals go) or “POST” (in the amp’s send/return loop, where rack effects are typically placed). Every effect in every preset can be run in series or parallel. Onboard preset memories let you create 128 totally different pedalboards. In comparison to the original FX8, the new Mark II has an all-black aircraft aluminum bezel and end panels, improved top-panel silkscreen design, an 18dB instrument input pad option, and an even lower noise floor. Above all, it features an extremely high quality signal path to deliver ultra-low noise and pristine sound quality. The unit is designed for unity gain and offers true bypass. It features a rugged steel chassis with aircraft aluminum end-panels, convenient top handle, eleven quiet, durable solid state footswitches with no mechanical contacts to fail, 27 LEDs in three colors, five knobs beneath a bright display, Humbuster™ outputs to eliminate hum due to ground loops (when used with Humbuster™ cables), dual TRS relays for amp switching, two switch/expression pedal jacks, USB, MIDI and more. FX8 runs up to eight simultaneous effects using the state-of-the-art algorithms made famous in the Axe-Fx II line of processors. The FX8 Mark II is a new multi-effects pedalboard designed to deliver Fractal’s signature quality without compromise in an effects-only floor unit. ![]()
