Just pushed the button to pre-order an XL.
Nervously excited because it's a lot of cash but I'm pumped to get my hands on this baby.
ETA is mid Feb, can't wait.
Greatest invention for Guitar in my lifetime I am 53
Congratulations invest in really good flat response speakers
and do become familiar with Own hammer and FAS cab IR's.
Invest in great flat response speakers and cab packages
read through FAS OWNHAMMER REDWIRES even local members
have made some cab packs narrow down what you use most
buy those if you find the larger cab packs float your ship buy those..
I bought ownhammer and I wont ever have time to listen too them all
but you can set up audition loading in everyone if you liked and play a looped phrase
and swap cabs every time that went round and hear most all the cabs...
Thats a quick way to audition those cabs and speakers.
and you hear the same thing consistent same phrase
so you get used too that and know when something great hits you
you save that make note of those cabs...
same for all efx cabs amps mic's You will accumulate alot in a months time and over a year
if you constantly were learning tunes adding them too sets then you might fill 511 patches up
leaving 512 for test bed.
You force habit of saving into library and axe edit and you can save it every week backing it up.
Print it monthly for hard copy and for certain each year overall and backing it all up.
In a years time you would have quite a bit saved.
You would master the machine by hands on using it.
If you learn it on front of machine with and without axe edit
then you can do it without a screen or laptop.
Not a bad idea to know both. axe edit is great though and now in 17.4 you have more options.
tone power eq you can go in and choose tubes tone stacks speakers mics ect.
so utilize axe edit and save things to library and everything you do save anyway
save to library and name it accordingly there.
You will thank me later. back it all up weekly and print it.
have many ways of backing it up. printed copies are nice for 3 ring binders !
back axe and mfc up several places just in case.
You made the right choice celebrations are in order.....
