Ok, so I am new to the AxeFX and still finding my bearings with it.
I've set my self up with 3 banks of 5 patches, but I find that at a gig, I keep going back to the same 5 or 6 patches. I think it's more of a comfort thing at this stage (and plus I really like the same 6 that I keep going to).
Anyway, I'm going to have to sit down and play with the thing in a bit more depth, but I still can't see myself using more than 15 or so patches. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing - to be honest, that's probably 14-15 better sounds than I was playing with before.
I know the Axe and the MFC are capable of holding hundreds of presets, accessing things in banks of songs etc, but I wonder how many people have actually gone to the trouble to set all of that stuff up?
So I thought I would throw the question out there - how many presets to you really use live?
NB "Presets" means presets - don't count every change you make by adding or subtracting effects using IA switches on a foot controller.
Also, I'm talking about playing live here - I appreciate that in the studio you might be free to play around with a few more patches
