My AX8 will be arriving tomorrow. I am new to Fractal but not entirely new to modelers. I am hoping for the AX8 to replace my Amplifire rig, which has been very nice to use. I plan on running the AX8 through my Line 6 L2M in reference mode.
Coming from the Atomic unit, I admit that I am quite nervous about the complexity of the Fractal. I've used all manners of "similar" devices mostly from Line 6 (PODs, POD HDs, Firehawk) and I only go "so" deep into editing to get my tones. The AX8 seems to be on an entirely different level which I sincerely hope doesn't prevent me from enjoying and using the unit as the main tone generator for live use.
Therefore, while I have been looking at the manual, various videos and perusing forums, is there anything that you veteran AX8 guys wish you had known, or had read/watched prior to first receiving your unit? Might there be a tutorial or into-type document that is better that others?
I'd certainly appreciate any wisdom, I already see things like "scenes" and "X/Y" and other intimidating terms which frighten me, lol.
Thanks in advance!!
