Ever since I owned the Ultra I've been managing effects changes within a single preset just fine using modifiers attached to expression pedals. Whether I'm panning between two different amps, bypassing effects blocks or altering parameters within an effect using a pedal, this method works for me. I don't have to worry about hitting the wrong switch with my clumsy feet, changes are smooth instead of abrupt and therefore a mistimed kick of the toe is less noticeable than if I were using the latching switches to dis/engage effects.
I like the idea of scenes but even if I were to use them to achieve the same result, there would still things be things I could only achieve using modifiers, so what's the benefit of scenes? Impressed as I was by Cooper Carter's recent in-depth class on using the Axe-FX on CreativeLive, I still don't see what I can do with scenes that I can't manage without them. What am I missing?
