I have GAS and thinking about buying an AX8. I already own an Axe-Fx II Mark 1 and used to have a MFC-101 Mark I but replaced it with a FAMC Liquid Foot+ (LF+) Pro+. My Axe-Fx II rig is in my practice room, so I end up using my Line 6 Pod Studio UX2 with Pod Farm 2.5 most of the time which really isn't very inspiring to play through.
I use my Pro+ in Song mode and have a foot switch set to select a song and another set to Preset Up, so I only have to step on 1 foot switch to go through all the presets in the song, so I never have to remember what foot switch or preset to select. I usually press the Preset Up foot switch for every section in the song, even if they use the same preset but have my Axe-Fx II set to ignore repeated Program Changes. I know it's kind of lazy but it helps to only have to focus on playing.
Can the AX8 do the same thing?
I'm trying to figure out if I could just leave my Axe-Fx II in my home studio and replace it with an AX8, so I could easily carry it around instead of my 4 space rack and huge Pro+ pedal.
