    Constant Amp block settings?

    Hi Kid Midnite, The answer is yes and no.... I have an AX-8. Do you have an AX FX so you can see/use Axe Edit? All Amps don't have the exact same "Tone Stack" so an amp like a Fender Deluxe might appear slightly different than a Marhall Plexi Jumped. But that said, if you right click on the Amp...

    Played my AxeFX through a real cab for the first time yesterday...

    Hey Steve, I agree preference is subjective. You can setup the Preset one of two ways: 1. The the FX Loop does not see the Cab and therefore is not influenced by its sound.

    Sending In Ear signal through the Axe Fx

    It depends on your needs. For me, the RJM MMGT-16 is the perfect size and number of buttons. Based on the quality of the unit, the feature set, the software editor and the support I received from Ron, RJM is the better controller for me. Not sure, buy both and try them side by side.
