Hi guys,
Got my AX8 a couple of days and spent the first few hours running through the factory presets.
It sounds awesome BUT.... I'm now trying to create my first patches, and I can't begin to fill the grid with effects (FX ONLY) before the CPU is full? Adding just a drive and a plate reverb takes up 50 (50!!)% of the CPU. Adding the other stuff I would need for a upcoming gig like chorus/trem and a stacked drive OR some multitap-delay settings is out of the question...I know you can save CPU by switching to a Spring reverb but come on?? Why do they call it AX8 if you can only use 4 FX blocks before you start compromising your own tone??
It sounds incredible as a studio unit though! But maybe I'm just missing a setting or something...
