i got my AX8 Saturday morning. Excitement!!! Spent a few hours getting to know it and then made 2. Presets and went straight to Room 5 in LA and played a sideman gig with singer Randi Driscoll. It worked great and sounded like my normal rig. Only the percussionist did a double take when he realized I didn't have my normal anoint of gear with me.
Sunday I had time to work on some more presets. This time with the help of the AX8 Edit program. Hmm very helpful indeed. I ended up with 11 presets. My unit came with zero presets. They are working on them now.
Monday night my friend Denise Kaufman (Ace of Cups band) asked me if I would like to come play her Yon (yoga -stretch class) I brought the AX8 and it was easy to move my rig!! Great to walk in with the ax8 and my nylon string guitar. It sounded great! Lots of " wow, what is that!
Tuesday night I performed at the Temecula music awards I came prepared to play Two songs, one as a side man and one doing my stuff. I brought my Ax8 and I had my axe fx with me just in case. Good thing too as they asked me to do another some and it was one I did not have programmed in the AX8 so both axe fx XL and AX8 got used . Then we all headed to the after party and I brought just my AX8 very easy to set up quickly way easy to carry around. (Normally when I'm on the road, when I go to a jam party after the show I usually leave the axe fx in my hotel room and just use pedals since its last minute hookups for the sound guys. But tonight was all AX8. And it rocked! Just left it on one patch and turned on and off different effects with the 8 IA switches. It was a great night of fun and music and the AX8 rocked.
