EV-1 paint job

I decided to re-paint my Silver EV-1, so here are a few pics. I'll take a close up of it, along with the decal that I had printed tonight... Most likely this voids the warranty, so I'm not liable if you try and follow what I've done. I've posted pics of it fully disassembled below. Enjoy!

I'm actually disappointed by the AX8... Nearly every preset I migrated from my Axe Fx II to the AX8 I am unable to add a Reverb. My presets can be around 61-65%, and even unplugging the USB does not allow them to fit. Also, it would have been nice to have a dedicated 'Reveal' such as the...

One second delay between scenes switching

It's funny, I actually talked to M@ yesterday about how awesomely seamless the scene switching is in the II/XL. After making some updates, and switching from Scene 1 (which is clean) to Scene 2 (distortion), I'm finding that there is a nearly 1 second delay! I haven't been 'live switching'...
