Here for sale we have a Fractal Audio Systems AX8 Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal. The AX8 is an all-in-one Amp Modeler + Multi-Effects Pedalboard Processor. It features many of the same leading-edge technologies utilized in our flagship Axe-Fx II processor, now offered in a floor unit at a fantastic price. Quantum Amp Modeling gives the AX8 over 222 exquisitely modeled amps that recreate the incredible nuanced tone and feel of real tube amps: sparkling cleans, elusive “edge of breakup” tones, and everything from warm, touch-sensitive overdrive to face-melting distortion. Ultra-Res Speaker Simulations offer a range of cab tones, with 130+ “Factory” cabs, plus 512 “User Cab” memory slots to store entries from our celebrated Cab Packs. Add to this a stunning selection of effects utilizing our state-of-the-art algorithms: G3 drive pedals, HD reverbs, compressors, delays, EQs, choruses, phasers, flangers, rotary, tremolos, pitch shifting, wah, and many more. Above all, the AX8 sounds great, with a pristine, high-quality signal path and the signal processing power that makes Fractal Audio Systems the industry standard for today’s most discriminating professional guitarists. Here's what Fractal Audio Systems have to say about the AX8; The AX8 is “built-like-a-tank” to be road-worthy and reliable. It sports a signature black steel chassis and aircraft aluminum end-panels, a convenient top handle​/​guard, and eleven quiet, durable, solid-state stomp switches with no mechanical contacts to fail. Hands-on editing has never been easier than on the AX8. Dedicated LED-ring knobs give direct access to eight “must-have” amp controls: Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Depth, Master, and Level. Add to this five additional “soft knobs” beneath a brilliant LCD display, six buttons, including SHIFT for extra functions, front-panel LED meters​/​indicators, 27 LEDs in three colors, and dedicated knobs for output levels. The back panel contains an instrument input with Fractal Audio’s signature “Secret Sauce” circuitry, stereo main outputs with XLR, ¼” Humbuster™, and SPDIF out, plus a stereo-in​/​stereo-out effects loop that can also be repurposed as a utility input or output. This allows the AX8 to output “cab sim” signal to “front of house” while simultaneously addressing a power amp and conventional guitar speakers for on-stage “backline”. USB, MIDI IN, and MIDI OUT ports round out the set. Above all, the AX8 features an extremely high-quality signal path to deliver ultra-low noise and pristine sound. Quantum Amp Modeling + Ultra-Res Speaker Simulation The AX8 features over 222 Quantum amp models utilizing the same industry leading amp modeling technology as our flagship Axe-Fx II. Fractal’s amp modeling sets the industry standard against which all others are measured, and is backed by the endorsement of many of the world’s greatest musicians across all genres of music. Only Fractal offers Ultra-Res™ Speaker Cab simulations for enhanced IR performance without intolerable latency. The AX8 is also compatible with our entire library of Cab-Packs. Exquisite Effects Fractal Audio is just as well-known for effects as it is for amp modeling, with a long list of incredible names standing behind our “no compromises” effects technology. The effects of the AX8 use the same core technology and algorithms as those of the Axe-Fx II. An impressive number of effects are included, with what we believe to be the complete package needed by the majority of professional players in the ultimate “grab-and-go” unit. Here's what Fractal Audio Systems have to say about the EV-1; EV Series products combine high-quality expression pedal and analog volume into one top-quality unit. The expression pedal jack is designed to work perfectly with all Fractal Audio Systems products—and many 3rd party devices as well. Unlike most expression pedals it has a true linear response with planetary gearing and a long, smooth throw. Each EV pedal can also serve as an analog volume pedal, with separate IN and OUT jacks connected to an audio-taper pot. The EV-1 is perfect for use with all Fractal Audio Systems products and many third-party devices. The 100K pot and planetary gearing create a truly linear response, so the position of the pedal corresponds intuitively and comfortably to sound changes with no need for finicky footwork. The long “travel” makes artistic control easier, whether you’re adjusting levels, mix, effect parameters, or multiple things at once. When you’re not using it as an expression pedal, the EV also works as a top-quality 500K high-impedance analog volume pedal. It is perfect for use with passive pickups and designed never to cause “tone suck.” No other pedals give you the same great combination of features, quality, and value as the Fractal Audio EV Series.
