When I bought my AX8 (s/h) it came loaded with a lot of what I'm guessing are "aftermarket" preset amp's (if that's the correct terminology?).
All of them seemed to be configured to the last owner's sound preferences which didn't really do it for me if I'm honest. That's not a criticism of the last owner, just a comment on different sound tastes.
I was having a look on my laptop the other night and came across a download for all of the factory AX8 preset's so thought Id give some of them a try. I'm now enjoying playing my guitar again with things like the silver jubilee model, the tri-axis, and a few other rock styles amp models.
I'm in no way an expert but the factory presets sound more vibrant and more pleasing to my ears. I don't have any ideas as to why this is the case but for now, I'm sounding a lot better and enjoying my guitar again.
I've read numerous good reports on the aftermarket amp packages and I'm sure in the right hands they are superb, but I'm not that much of an amp/patch/preset twiddler, so for now I'm keeping it simple and enjoying my newly found factory presets.
I had been starting to watch a few other amp fx modelers being tested on Youtube with the thought of "maybe I should buy one of those", but for now my AX8 is a keeper!
My AX8 now rocks!!! (After all....)
