Video: Play-through of original tune + Axe-Edit Scenes

I found a bug with the preset I uploaded to Axe-Change (this is why we beta test Axe-Edit :)). So I've removed it for now and I'll get it back up tonight and I'll pass along the cab info then as well (I forget).
 
Yes I noticed that the preset didn't had the settings for scenes 2 and up, so I had to watch through the video to fix that. Waiting for the correct one :)

Oh no...
Hope this doesnt set the AE-status back from very-soon to soon ;)
 
Is there a way with scenes to use the X/Y in the amp block without dropout, but without the DAW automation? I'm curious because I'm trying to reduce my number of presets, but I need a patch with Clean, Crunch, and High Gain (3 different amp models) and I need to be able to switch freely between each of them with the MFC. It should be said that I haven't upgraded to v9 yet because I'm completely redesigning things, but need my unit for gigs until I get it all mapped out and ready to program.

Good question!

The short answer is no: There will always be some drop-out when either of the Amp blocks does an X/Y switch.

However, you can do a trick similar to what I do in my patch from the video. Set up Amp 1 as your Crunch and leave it like that. Amp 2 could X/Y switch between Clean/Hi-Gain.

Amp 1 is sort of "always on". I ALSO put a volume block in front of the amps that un-bypasses on some scenes to lower the input level to the amp and takes it from crunch to a slightly over-driven clean sound. So when you're in the "clean" scene most of your signal is coming from Amp 2 and Amp 1 just provides tiny bit of grit in the background.

Amp 2 you would use your X clean setting for all "clean" scenes and Y heavy setting for crunch and hi-gain scenes.

Because Amp 1 is always on, you'll never get a total drop-out when you swap scenes. There is obviously a reduction in volume because Amp 2 has a short drop-out for the X/Y swap but I found that it's not perceptible. See if you can hear any drop out in my video....I can't really.

The only time this method wouldn't work I guess would be if you need an absolutely pure and pristine clean tone. But I always like to hear at least a slight bit of breakup so it works for me.
 
Great song and beautiful guitar. I really like the idea of the DAW controlled switching. Now time to see if I can make it work :)
