Wish you could have 2 amps models, even if only one were active - but that's super picky and couldn't be happier with the whole thing.
Good luck on the gig!
agree on the edit ui. It’s surprisingly easy.
Just started experimenting with reverbs and delays in parallel rather than series. Works so well and is a different sort of sound.
And very easy to do.
would love a AX8+!

Anyone else had issues with clipping? Thought I’d cracked it
If you look on the Fractal AX8 forum everyone will tell you that the only way to dial it in for live use is at gig volume - and now that we are rehearsing loud at studio, I'm finding that to be true.
First time we played at volume (through the same PA top as I was at home, but much quieter) my tone was too thin, had too much gain and sounded harsh, but after reducing the gain, effect mix and the high & low cut in the cab block it sounds superb.
I'm still experimenting to find the best setup for me. Been using a PA speaker with cab IRs, but going to try using a 2x12 guitar cab and power amp this week. The beauty of the grid is that I can rig both up with the effect loop block and A/B them.
My thinking is if I can get to a place where I'm happy with both then I'm covered for all eventualities at gigs - great sounds going to the PA & great sounding backline.
EDIT: Er, just realised I've basically repeated my earlier post. Appears I'm going mad.
Anyway, here's the result - not too bad I don't think! Using the Friedman BE v2 amp, which was a last-minute choice instead of my usual JCM800 #34.
