  • Page 22: Connecting Pedals & Switches

    CONNECTING PEDALS & SWITCHES Each of the two onboard PEDAL jacks of the FX8 allows you to connect one expression pedal or one external footswitch. You can use a connected pedal or switch to change effect parameters or to operate any of a long list of global functions and many factory presets are ready for one or even two pedals.
  • Page 23 ƒ When a latching (aka toggle) switch is connected, set TYPE to “LATCHING”. ƒ When a momentary switch (such as a sustain pedal) is connected, you have two options: Š Set TYPE to “MOMENTARY” and the FX8 will recognize alternate stomps as ON and OFF, creating a “virtual” latching footswitch.

  • Page 24: Connecting A Computer

    CONNECTING A COMPUTER Connecting the FX8 to a computer via USB is completely optional, but it does provide some great benefits. Our free utilities provide a great platform for those who want to take their experience to the next level. USB is also the best way to install firmware updates and make or restore backups.

  • Page 25: The Relays

    The relays of the FX8 are designed for use ONLY with amplifiers that use “short-to-sleeve” type switching. Do NOT connect the FX8 relays to the switch jacks of an amp that uses voltage differential switching or any other type of switching aside from short-to-sleeve, or serious damage can occur to both units.

  • Page 27: Creating Presets

    Think of each preset as a fully independent pedalboard with its own effects, settings, configuration, controllers, and more. You create and store presets using the FX8 front panel or the optional FX8-Edit software. Every memory is a “USER” preset which can be edited or overwritten. Some players will use a lot of presets—...

We call this “Stompbox Mode” because the footswitches turn effects on and off like traditional stompboxes. (In other modes, footswitches select scenes, presets, and more.) The FX8 starts up in Stompbox Mode and returns to it when...

  • Page 30: Working With Blocks

    Please be aware that moving an effect leaves an empty slot behind. TO SWAP TWO BLOCKS… Swapping blocks requires you to use our optional FX8-Edit software. In FX8-Edit, simply drag and drop one block onto another to swap them. You can also copy/paste blocks within a preset or between presets, save favorite blocks to a library, and much more.

  • Page 32: Editing Effect Blocks

    USING VIRTUAL KNOBS  Most edit menu pages show five virtual knobs. To make changes, use the five physical knobs of the FX8.  Above each on-screen knob is an indicator showing which of the five knobs to use: NAV, VAL, A, B, or C.

  • Page 33: Saving Changes

    TO CHANGE THE PRESET NAME OR LOCATION… The FX8 has 128 preset memory locations grouped in sixteen lettered banks (A–P). Each bank contains eight presets. You can save any preset to any location at any time. You can edit the name of any preset while storing.

  • Page 34: X/Y Switching

    X/Y SWITCHING In the same way that many amplifiers have two fully independent channels, so do many effects on the FX8. Each block with X/Y switching stores two sets of settings—an “X” set and a “Y” set. This makes it possible to switch between two different effect sounds while using only one block.

  • Page 35: Preset Cpu Limits

    ƒ Modifiers also affect CPU usage. AUTOMATIC BLOCK DISABLING As a second safeguard, the FX8 may disable one or more blocks if load gets too high due to changes after a block has been inserted. Changing Reverb to HIGH QUALITY, for example, pushes CPU Usage up considerably.

  • Page 36: Fx8-Edit

    Every function and parameter of the FX8 can be conveniently operated from the front panel of the unit. Another way to edit presets and parameters is to use FX8-Edit. If you are at all accustomed to working with audio software or plug-ins, you will probably enjoy FX8-Edit.

  • Page 37: Preset Configuration

    If you’re using only PRE effects, set this to “8/0”. If you’re using only POST effects, set this to “0/8”. The FX8 has independent PRE and POST effect chains. This makes PRE/POST OPTIONS it possible for the unit to work simultaneously between your 8 Pre 0 Post guitar and your amp, and in your amp’s effects loop.

  • Page 38: Configure Series & Parallel

    WHY RUN FX IN PARALLEL? If you, like most guitarists, have always strung pedals together in a straight line, you’ll find the FX8 replicates this setup easily. But the freedom to route in parallel opens new options, both traditional and creative.

  • Page 39: Intelligent Parallel Fx

    DRY, plus a second path through the send/ return jacks for WET. If any dry passes through the FX8, you will have phase problems. Therefore, you will need to manually set MIX, LEVEL and BYPASS mode parameters so no dry signal passes through when the effect is engaged or bypassed.

  • Page 40: Configure True Bypass

    Every scene of every preset can trigger the transmission of a different MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGE on its own MIDI CHANNEL. MIDI Program changes are transmitted at the MIDI OUT port of the FX8. Use this feature to have the FX8 operate the functions of a MIDI-switched amplifier, another processor, or a connected Fractal Audio Systems Axe-FX.

  • Page 41: Scenes

    OVERVIEW Each of the 128 presets of the FX8 preset contains eight scenes. You don’t need to create them—they’re already there, ready and waiting to be used. We like to think of a scene as something like a “preset within a preset.

  • Page 42: Selecting Scenes

    7 : SceneS SELECTING SCENES There are three ways to select a scene on the FX8: 1. USE THE FOOTSWITCHES – Tap SCENE once to enter Scene Select Mode. (The red LED will remain lit.) The next press of any footswitch 1–8 will select a scene within the current preset.
  • Page 43 TO SET THE MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGE FOR A SCENE... The FX8 can send one MIDI Program Change Message (“PC”) per scene. TYou can set a different message on a different channel for each scene. Use this feature to change the channel of a MIDI-controlled amp, select presets on a connected Axe-FX, or switch any other MIDI device.

  • Page 44: Sticky Scene Select

    STICKY SCENE SELECT The FX8 normally goes back to Stompbox Mode once you select a scene with the footswitches. Sticky Scene Select Mode keeps the FX8 in Scene Select mode so you can change from scene to scene using single footswitch taps.

  • Page 45: True Bypass

    To disengage True Bypass, tap the TRUE BYPASS switch. You don’t need to press and hold! PRESET BYPASS CONFIGURATION The FX8 has independent signal paths for PRE and POST effects, so there are independent PRE and POST “Configure True Bypass” on page 34, you can set options for the True Bypass function.

  • Page 46: Automatic True Bypass

    8 : true BypaSS AUTOMATIC TRUE BYPASS Automatic True Bypass provides the option to engage True Bypass automatically when all effects in the PRE or POST chain have been bypassed or removed*. It works individually on each chain, so an Automatic True Bypass of the PRE chain does not also affect the POST chain (and vice versa).

  • Page 47: Blocks Guide

    FX8. Find it at www .fractalaudio .com/support. The pages which follow cover several blocks which are unique to the FX8: the MIDI block and the RELAY block, plus a short section on Common Parameters found on the page of every effect, the Noise Gate, and the Output Section of every preset.

  • Page 48: The Midi Block

    The MIDI block enables you to use the onboard footswitches to send MIDI data to the MIDI Out Port of the FX8. It sends your choice of any Program Change (PC) message and/or any Control Change (CC) message when turned ON, and your choice of messages when turned OFF.

  • Page 49: The Relay Block

    BOTH Tip AND Ring to Sleeve. NOTE: When a Relay block is added to your preset, the FX8 ignores CONFIG page programming for that relay in that preset. You can still program the relay per-scene, however, in exactly the same way you would program any other effect per-scene.

  • Page 50: Mix Page Common Parameters

    MIX PAGE COMMON PARAMETERS Almost every block in the FX8 has a MIX page with parameters that determine how that block contributes to the preset. All mix pages use one or more of the following standard parameters. Different blocks have different mix page parameters because they require different approaches.

  • Page 51: The Noise Gate

    INPUT IMP the analog circuitry of the IN [PRE] INSTR input jack to alter the way the FX8 interacts with your guitar. This recreates the way that some classic effects (e.g. Vibe) “load down” the pickups, causing a change in frequency response.

  • Page 53: Modifiers

    10 : ModIFIerS 10 : MODIFIERS OVERVIEW Modifiers allow sound parameters to be remote-controlled or automated in real time. For example, you might use an expression pedal to operate a wah, whammy or volume, or use an LFO controller (Low Frequency Oscillator) to sweep a filter.

  • Page 54: Modifier Example: Wah Pedal

    10 : ModIFIerS MODIFIER EXAMPLE: WAH PEDAL Below you will find a basic step-by-step tutorial on setting up the modifier for a wah pedal. For this example, we assume: page 24 ƒ A Wahwah block is in your preset (see for details on how to insert blocks).

  • Page 55: Modifier Sources Overview

    We refer to these as CONTROLLERS because they are used to control a parameter. Some, like the built-in LFOs and Envelope Follower, are internal to the FX8, while others, like a connected expression pedal or MIDI message from some other device, are referred to as external controllers.

  • Page 56: Advanced Modifier Parameters

    10 : ModIFIerS ADVANCED MODIFIER PARAMETERS The default modifier is perfectly linear and direct. You change the source, and the parameter follows precisely. But you can also tweak the relationship between source and target. Maybe you want to tune the taper of a wah.

  • Page 60: External Controllers

    “Help! My volume pedal is missing and my presets are all silent!!” When the FX8 is powered on, it checks all connected pedals to set the value for any assigned external controllers. But what if a pedal is missing? The default for each controller is zero (equivalent to heel down).

  • Page 61: Tempo

    TO SYNCHRONIZE A DELAY TO THE TEMPO... The time of every delay in the FX8 can synchronize to the tempo. The most typical setting is that where the echo matches the tempo 1:1. Use the musical value of “1/4” (one quarter-note) for this.

  • Page 62: Preset Tempo

    This allows you to set the tempo and engage your delay block(s) from a single footswitch. THE METRONOME The FX8 features a built-in metronome whose signal is mixed in at Output 1. – Turns the metronome on or off. METRONOME –...
