If you guys get/have an FC foot controller now, then you can create a custom layout page for just AMP BLOCK.
You get up to six CS controls you can use for it (plus more options if you use the four external switches). So you can setup tap/hold FC footswitches to change several amp block parameters across any A to D channel (like many real amp foot controllers allow, like a Bogner Ecstasy, or amp front panels) -- only limit is you can only use six CS switches for now (and maybe 4 external switches if you add those):
-Boost Amp Input Trim (such as preset amount for single coils to compensate),
-Fat Switch on/off, useful on lots of amps like Mesa Boogies and Freidmans
-Saturate on/off (use Ideal one, so no volume loss),
+db Amp Boost of/off (you pick the type), like Bogners and some Diezels I think
-turn Amp GEQ On/off,
- turn on/off a boost on the ARES Input EQ, -- the Cooper Carter trick of boosting at 1K 2-3db going into the amp
-turn bright switch on/off, (often useful for Fenders and other amps)
-turn compression on/off (preset your desired amount/values)
-Turn true Amp Tremolo (depth) on/off
You can also set up foot switches dedicated to raise or lower Amp1 (or Amp2) Level by +1/-1 or +2/-2 db and save -- so you can level while playing at stage volume with your feet, watching the VU meters on the unit.
This, combined with the front unit knobs you can turn for BMT/P and drive, means you can do a lot of tweaking or shaping without using Axe-III Edit now...
I'm super excited about integrating this kind of control/flexibility into future naked amp presets and trying options out for tonal impacts...this latest firmware is killer, and I love that the FC stuff is based in the Axe-Fx III itself and fully programmable directly from Axe-III editor or Axe-Fx III rather than floor hardware -- it really is a dream come true!
