Purchased, tested a few. Good work! Some remarks:
- too much focus on lead tones, as for me (I'm constantly turning off /shunting delays / reverbs /etc and tweaking towards the rhythm sounds)
- many presets too bright for my setup (Atomic active wedge, tweeter at noon, MM Axis stock, elixirs)
- great reverbs modulations, etc, although I think they are too pronounced for live use, will need to tweak, and I'm afraid I'll just mess those up completely...)
- unfortunately package is not very well tested (although I'm playing with alternate banks only, which means just free cabs, there are non-existing cabs used - for ex. many in preset bank 10).
- it's hard to live without a dedicated preset list for AX8; I downloaded via fractal bot 6-7 random banks and still didn't find 5153 5-scenes preset
(the list is not accurate, as it is based on Axe FX version of package)
- mesa rhythm sounds are very good. I didn't realize they could be tweaked to such a good shape. Now I wonder how they would sound with dedicated cabs from "normal" banks
(that cabs / presets buying frenzy never ends...)
Thanks!
