Akstrat
Experienced
Yep, I play in a cover band...and I like it! The AX8 has opened a ton of tones to me, that before I struggled with. Before my Axe, I played a LP into a vintage BF Vibrolux. I had a pedal board that had a host of effects, two dist/OD's, delays, wah, comp, chorus.... you get the idea. My band is a 12 piece rock/horn band that plays Motown, funk, Chicago, 80's rock, to Bruno Mars.
My current rig is a LP Skinner or a vintage Strat, RCF NX12 monitor, AX8, Shure Glxd-16 and an EV-1
I'm wondering how others set their AX8's up. I am not into programming a preset for every song, don't want to take that time. Sorry. We change songs/sets too often. But I am into learning how others handle their setups. General broad presets/scenes that cover a lot of ground. Maybe having 8 presets that I have at my disposal. Here is kind of what I have going now.
Preset 1: Fender based clean amp, effects include OD, Comp, Chorus, Delays
Preset 2: Marshall based 80's rock thing, usual effects
Preset 3: Prince type tones
Preset 4: Double Delay, U2, Walk the Moon.... Dist, delay based
I can cover a lot of ground with these basic four presets and a number of programmed scenes. I am hoping some people can exchange some ideas and maybe some presets. Thanks in advance and I have learned a ton from the veterans here and hope to learn more. The AX8 has made me a better player! Please feel free to attach presets!!!
