I'm a new AX8 user, totally love this rig!
I'm currently working on setting up my live sets, and was looking for feedback from folks who've had more time with the unit. From what I can see, for me, playing mainly Pink Floyd, the most practical way to take advantage of the flexible stomp buttons, is to either set up 16 different presets for various tones and effects, like Crunch, Flanger Solo, Clean, Mild Solo, Phaser Crunch, etc. And then hop around these 16 presets using the different tones I've created to play all my songs. Or, Alternatively, save one preset per song, and use scenes to play the different parts of the songs, ie Scene 1 Intro, Scene 2 Main Rhythm, Scene 3 Middle 8, Scene 4 Solo, Scene 5 Outro. Unfortunately, this choice has the drawback of getting limited CPU errors on complex songs. Anyway, any wisdom about how to best use the AX8 live would be really appreciated!
