I hear a lot of guys complaining , they can't run 2 or more amps at the same time , and there's only X -amount of amps , blah blah.
To me , a floor unit is meant for a live situation.
A handful of sounds should satisfy most gigging musicians.
Each one containing :
1 amp and cab , a select number of quality effects , and some volume changes.
The VARIETY WAR amongst digital floor modeling pedals is a turnoff to me. Less is more sometimes. I've always loved a good single channel amp. A great sound in minutes , and use your guitar volume to do the rest.
I hope the AX8 has great amp sounds ready , out of the gate , so I don't HAVE to go into endless changes to a thousand variables , like the Line6 units. I get lost after a while. To me , most of these Ultra-realistic mic/cab/speaker/stompbox - changes , are merely EQ changes. Each one , stacked on top of the other. So , if I were to layer 5 or six different EQ curves over each other , where the heck are you , really ?
Tweakability is nice when it's an option , more than a necessity.
Looking forward to hearing it up close.
