I am a new ultra owner and have yet to get a controller. I have the AXE-FX + 2 atomic cabs.
I notice that like line6, and all my rackmount effects units, the AXE-FX has about 3 weird sounding patches for every "useful patch". (movie sound effects patches) Is this becase these companies always want to show off all the effects, or is it becase with a controller, you can toggel off each of the effects individually, and the preset begins with them all turned on (and thats all i can hear without a good midi controller) ?
In my previous programable rig (ADA-MP1 + Quadraverb) i would make patches and copy those patchcs to get variations on volume and effects, therby only needing to switch to anohter patch to get to the next volume level or whatever. It soulds like this is a whole new ball game, where you have a base sound that you like, and then add/subtract effects in real time with your contoller, and perhaps need less patches. It sounds like most of you prefer volume pedel to just punching up anohter patch which is quieter/louder.
I think I am going to need a controller (hopefully with BIG tuner) + pedles for vloume and wah.
