...Basically for the ability to tweak on the fly.
Ah yes but then there's the counter argument that goes "being restricted to planning and presets kills spontaneity" I am sure there are plenty of pedal guys who tweak knobs during the gig maybe even during the song, as the mood strikes them. I say there is no one size fits all remedy. Different tools for different situations. Fortunately you can use pedals with the Axefx and have the best of several worlds.I suspect there are a lotta people who want pedals for just that reason. I know just in my circle of playing friends/family, the majority dislike the menu-driven drill-down paradigm of parameter adjustment. They want knobs they can nail instantly without much thought or anything to remember.
Of course, you could argue (and I do sometimes) that the requirement simply reflects poor prior planning. I mean, it's not like you constantly have to re-program your effects on stage. You don't see the pros doing that. They have a schedule and/or set list and everything is set up and adjusted up front before they start wanking and cranking. That's what presets and scenes are for, right?
i started to want pedals again. Basically for the ability to tweak on the fly.
I was thinking to get a delay and drive pedals as well. Anyone still use pedals with axe? What pedals you use?
