I finally got to use my AX8 yesterday at Church and boy was I a nervous wreck about how it was going to sound since we hadn't practiced until yesterday morning and even then it was a quick run through of the songs. Well it's a good thing that what I hear in my headphones at home translates pretty closely to sounding the same at church.
I had spent last week installing a piezo system in my strat and rewiring everything. Let me say that was an adventure and getting some of the grounding issues figured out whew. Also spent a couple nights working out my patch that I used Sunday. It was a dual input from AxeFxTutorials but I changed it some to fit my guitar. I also added a multidelay block from @simeon (excellent stuff man) that would work for my swell. I setup the bottom 4 footswitches as scenes. Clean, Crunch, Lead, Swell. Within each scene I could use my piezo which was handy. I also had a lot of X/Y switching from scene to scene and had no issues with lag, worked great for me.
I'll have to say, from coming from a Helix last time I was playing at church I thought I'd miss some of the bells and whistles it has but I sure didn't....AX8 all the way and it sounded great when I was rehearsing, even with my in-ears it sounded great.
Had a buddy who used to play guitar with us text me and say "I wanted to say you sounded great but I couldn't hear you!!"
*rant*.....Now that's a whole nother story, for you sound guys that know what you're doing, thank you but the ones we have...OMG they shouldn't be even allowed to touch the board and some of them have gone to training. It's the second week in a row that I've been told by multiple people that they can't even hear me. So why do I even get stressed about playing or even bother to practice. The sad thing is, the music minister just doesn't seem to really care any more or won't listen to what I have to say about all the sound issues.*rant over*
