Hello,
I just ordered my AX8 and should get it in a few days. This is my first time using an AXE and I'm really excited listening to all the stuff that's out there.
Primarily I want to use this live. A few years back, I had a POD HD500 and I found it very hard to dial in sounds that sounded good live. A lot of the times, the crunch / lead sounds would be muffled as compared to the clean. The highs and lows would be more accentuated and my guitar would be drowned by a drummer and bass player. I would have too much delay/reverb when played at gig volumes. All of these issues put me off modelers for a while and I just used tube amps. I want to try getting back into modelers with a high quality unit like the AX8.
How do you all usually tackle this ? Do you get a laptop with you and start deep editing while rehearsing ? I want to introduce new sounds in my music, so it would be awesome to be able to tinker at home. Maybe turn up loud with a backing track ?
Appreciate any pointers !
Thanks
