I just received the AX8 in the mail.... Super stoked about all the tones but I'm struggling with getting multiple gain stages with one step at a time. I purchased the unit to be the new solution for my four channel Mesa boogie amp (i have a roadster).The four channels on my amp allow me to go from very clean to supersaturated with one step...With everything in-between . Struggling because it seems that the ax8 scenes and their flexibility don't allow for such flexibility. It seems that this scene function only works with no more than 2 Amps the X and Y.
I play an 80s band and I require that super jangly strat sound as well as heavy saturation tone for solos in one assortment. I'm accustomed to using multiple gain stages to color the way i play the songs. (I know some would say I should use my volume knob but I don't... Focused on too many other things went performing live.)
Not sure how to get switch 1 to be super clean... switch 2 to be little more dirty...switch 3 a little bit more and to have full boogie saturation on channel 4.
kinda freakin out....
When I made the purchase I assumed that I could turn presets into scenes and have eight of them sitting in front of me. Never imagined I would be locked in to using only 2 amps X and Y.
