I have an inherently lazy streak, so I have an eye out for easier or more efficient ways to do things. For the way I use the AX8, I need a nomenclature system that relies minimally on memory or an external reference.
For AX8 presets, what I find convenient: once I get a preset dialed in; I also save each block as a block preset. For amps, its the name appended by pickup or guitar, and a few letter mnemonic code for artist, style or song (example: TbW = T-Bone, ChB = Chicago Blues, FB = Free Bird, that sort of thing), and firmware iteration (ex: Twin5F8 Tele Swing v8b. For a pedal block; appending with the amp its going in front of: TS9 P90 AC15v7. For cabinet block: the amp it's matched with: F109 AD200B v7).
So, when there is an update, I can ignore effects that are unaffected, instantiate the amp block, compare X with Y until I'm happy; and save a new block version. Since I reuse the same blocks in multiple preset/scene arrangements, it's a matter of going through the presets and updating just the new block versions. Usually I can figure out what the heck I was doing even months later. I also have preset effects chains (Vintage; all effects in front of the amp, Classic; effects in front and between amp & cab, Modern: pre, between & post). These are useful as starting points, so that everything is up and running, and just those things that need to be experimented with can be set upon.
IME, It's manageable housekeeping that so far is keeping up: I spend vastly more time working on song arrangements and the music end of things than I do tweaking the unit, even in this banner year of firmware updates. Hopefully, there's a tip or two here to help keep up with the jonesing.
