I bought this last month and didn't really get to explore it much. Never really imported presets before so I tried to import everything and it took up my whole AX8. Last night I fired it up and read the instructions, then used the auto-audition function to quickly move through the patches. The ones I like I dragged over into the later banks. My plan is to kind of have these as my baseline of tones that I can use to build some patches around.
What I like about the naked pack is that I don't have to worry about finding the right impulse response or dialing it in or getting the tone stack right or whatever. Just scroll through and decide if I like the tone or not. And there's no additional impulses that I have to manage, so that's very cool.
I'm maybe halfway through the presets and found probably 30 good tones to use as a baseline. Some of them were pretty familiar, like the Friedmans and some Fenders. Some of them I wouldn't have expected. Some amps that I normally like I didn't. And that's fine. There's a wide variety of sounds in the presets and I'm only worried about finding ones that sound good rather than picking an amp and then finding the right cab and trying to dial it in. Just a good starting point.
I'll have to stop back when I've got more time under my belt with expanded thoughts. Hopefully I'll whittle it down to 8-16 presets that I really dig and then build up some effects around them.
