So, I went in to this super excited and the frustration is getting the best of me. I am going to give it one more go at it and really spend time in the manual this week. I am spending all of this time learning to program when I really want to be playing. I don't have lots of spare time.
It's not that I'm tech illiterate. I own a high end studio running ProTools HD, hundreds of plugins, virtual instruments, etc. and I have no problems with using it. My hope is that, if i give up and sell it, instead of those at Fractal thinking, "screw him", they'll see there are those who need a more intuitive product, OR a good set of videos that go step by step to accomplish most goals. Similar to those at Learn Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live and more - Training and Tutorial Videos videos. That would be nice for the Axe.
Because Fractal has no phone support, I have been using this forum, which has been immensely helpful, but alas, all of the "IA's, modifiers, etc" have overwhelmed me. I took my Fender Princeton Reverb out the other night and it sure was liberating. I have invested so much to build the "perfect rig", i really hate to give up.
If I decide to sell, I'll post it here on the forum first. It's a couple of months old, newest firmware, MFC, 2 Mission pedals (1 week old-one with a switch and one without), brand new Trailertrash board with lightweight heavy duty bag, 4 space Gator hardshell case, Line 6 G90 digital wireless (2 months old bought to go with it), custom patch bay that puts all AxeFX I/O's on front of rack and 1 QSC k10 FRFR. For someone who didnt want to wait on the waiting list, its a great setup. I don't have a clue what to ask for it all.
Anyway, frustration is getting the best of me and if I don't feel differently in the next week or so, I may throw in the towel. I appreciate everyone's help here though. I almost wish I could hire someone to set it all so I can just plug and play, which is all I ever really wanted to do. I'm a player not a programmer.
Sunday at church when I couldn't get any sound out of it really pushed me over the edge. (I didn't bring the MFC because we were only doing basic songs requiring no tap dancing on pedals. I had set up a volume block for one of the expression pedals and no sound came out. Then I deleted the block but couldn't remember how to make a shunt or connecting wire.) I want to learn to use the Axefx, but it's taking me longer than I thought it would.
