I just got my XL+ yesterday and although I am an experienced player. gearhead and tweaker, I have to get my new Axe rig up and running faster than I thought I would due to the band moving the schedule around so I am not going to have as much time initially to mess around with it all until I got it right that I thought I would and I apologize if this is something simple that I have overlooked or missed in my searches. I will have more time after the upcoming practice to flesh more out but have to get my basic eight presets up and running pretty quickly.
I dialed in the basics of two of my main gain patches this afternoon fairly easily through headphones with Axe-Edit but when I was looking at something in another patch I noticed that some of the factory presets have modulation, reverb, delay and other effects after the cabs. This is counter-intuitive to me and although I will shut the cabs off when I hook up to my live rig tomorrow, need the cabs for headphones and some of what I'm going to try to do in the future. It was mentioned in one thread that the effects wouldn't be true stereo in a preset with them between amp and cab unless a stereo cab was selected but is that it? I want to understand the reasoning so I can have the base of my new rig correct as much as possible to save time right now.
Can someone tell me what the difference is with them after the cabs vs. between them and tell me which way is best? Or point me to the resource where I cna read up on it? I fully understand effect placement in the signal chain of a regular rig but need to figure this out on the Axe before I get too much farther into my dialing in so my base presets and templates will be good from the start and I can base my others off of them.
Thanks!
