Greetings everyone,
Let me begin by thanking everyone for their continued patience and support.
I was digging a bit deeper into the functionality of my AX8 and I realized: I mostly use factory Pre-sets ALWAYS on Scene 1. There are seven other available scenes I *could* be configuring.....assuming I can remember how to get into and out-of *sticky* scene mode, etc. I am just scratching the surface of this thing. I DID for a brief time use the Pre-set mode with the foot switches set to sticky, but I had some latency issues.
At any rate, I am trying to better grasp the configurations available to me with the foot switches. Here is what I have so far.....considering the methodology of the footswitch configurations:
1. Effect pedal-board configuration: Most similar to a traditional bunch of effect boxes in series on a pedal-board. Using a single Pre-set, tapping on the numbered Foot-switches to turn on and off various effects. Very minimal latency. (This is how I am mostly operating currently).
2. Scene configuration: Using a single Pre-set, the footswitches can be configured to each engage a different Scene of that Pre-set. Note that each Scene can be a different volume, gain-setting, EQ, etc., of the amp itself, along with a variety of effects at settings specific for the Scene. In this configuration, I would no longer be turning on/off individual effects with the foot switches. Latency is.......?
3. Pre-set configuration: Within a Bank, each numbered Footswitch (1-8) can be configured (in Pre-set mode) to align with a specific Pre-Set, such that each numbered switch calls up a distinct amp, speaker, and effects configuration. This approach seems to have some latency.
Additional: X/Y switching: This feature allows for a given Pre-set to actually contain two (2) amplifiers (e.g., one clean and one dirty).......I think. I not sure where the X/Y switching would fall in this hierarchy.
Any corrections or clarifications are appreciated.
