As I learn more about how to set up the global functions for the 1-8 and F footswitches, I'm trying to figure out the best layout for me...I'm used to having switches 1-4 on my old Ground Control Pro set for individual presets for songs and then using the other four switches for adding drive, delay, mod, etc.
I play in an all 80's over band, and don't need many effects or a whole scene with 8 individual sounds for many of the songs. For most tunes it's just the amp, cab, a little reverb, and a clean boost or adding some mod here and there for a part - that's it.
I could set up my AX8 this way, but now that I have some of the great custom artist/song presets that use scenes from a few members of the community, I can't have it both ways with the switching - though I tried. I set up switches 1-4 for individual presets, and switches 5-8 to access scenes and was not able to get the full access to some of the custom scenes that I have - but I had to try.
For people in cover bands that play a wide range of songs, what do you find works better where you don't have to tap dance as much - individual presets for songs, one per 1-8 switch, or using scenes for songs?
When I don't use full scenes and just assign one preset/song to each 1-8 switch, I feel like I'm not using the full potential of the unit - funny the things I never knew I would want from what seemed to work so well with my old GCP : )
I hope I'm making sense - I still doubt how much of a grasp I have on the AX8. The wiki and owner's manual, and simple trial and error are helping a lot.
Any feedback or advice would be great - thank you!
