I think it'd be great to be able to buy a memory upgrade . . . Like an insertable card.
Probably a stupid question, but are you using the compressor in the amp block?

I haven't REALLY yet, but this is only my second week. I've talked to some who bemoan this. If you don't manage your blocks well I can see you can run out. I'd like a couple of Multi Delays PLUS a delay. I have presets like that on my Axe Fx II. Also I like high res cabs and reverb. I'm still working it though. My bad though. I guess I was talking CPU. Higher functioning Sharc? Another 450 mhz Sharc?Where have you found the memory to be a limitation? You've got 512 preset slots and 512 user cab slots (in addition to the 175+ factory cabs). You've got XY on some blocks that even the Axe-Fx XL+ doesn't have.
More memory won't mean more blocks per preset; that's a limitation of the CPU.

- The ability to turn effect on off via an external controller
Hello Henry ! I'm in the same boat. I really need to have the preset name a lot bigger on the FS page. We don't need to have such big icons for P & S, since they are already registered with the Footswiches Leds. Ideally I'd love to have names for scenes too... In fact what I'd love the most would be a window only for preset & scene big names, no row of P & S !Yeah. I need to see the names, especially of the preset I'm on.
After using the AX8 for a few weeks, here are a few things I find myself wishing for -
1) Global Blocks - no surprise here, lots of other people missing these too.
2) Scene Recall/Reload - so that on a preset when you click a scene it reloads its saved position. For example scene 1 is clean with no fx. I step on chorus and delay. Stepping on scene 1 again would return me to clean with no fx. Similar to preset reload on a midi controller.
3) VU meters for Output 2. If you use a power/amp cab and direct setup checking volume to both outputs is useful.
4) Different display options - ie choosing your home screen (preset names...etc.). Preset list shown when changing preset banks.
Feel free to add yours.
Wish: The option for scene switches to always reset the scene to its original state.
I not in front of my AX 8 but I think you can select this with "scene revert". Should be able to find it in the manual.
Turn on Scene Revert in your global settings.Wish: The option for scene switches to always reset the scene to its original state.
Example:
1) Press Scene 3 switch (Scene 3 has chorus and reverb blocks engaged)
2) Bypass chorus and reverb blocks
3) Press Scene 3 again and the chorus and reverb blocks are engaged again.
Currently, when you perform step 3, the chorus and reverb blocks remain bypassed. It would be nice to have the option of scene switch presses always producing the same result, that is, loading the scene in it's original state.
Turn on Scene Revert in your global settings.
This will be great! I ran into this last night at band practice, and it was quite a change from my axe+mfc rig. I am always switching effects in and out within a particular scene.I agree, this would be a nice enhancement to Scene Revert. I will put that on the list for the next release.
