To be honest I use the trem only a tiny bit, but certainly found it pretty quick to set something that worked well, and in some ways better - there's a slight throb I like!
Happy to share settings, moved flat on Friday and still have about 80 boxes unopened (we've downsized which hasn't helped) - once I find the AX8, I'll let you know!
More than relieved that I got my guitars - you can imagine my language when I found the removal van, back open, unattended and about 20k of guitars handily propped up by the door.
All in the middle of Soho!
It was like a lucky dip invitation

Never got to play cranked as the band's disintegrating, but I'm sure it's easily fixed with EQ.
Hope it goes well
Sounded so much more 'full' and the attack of the pick etc. translated so much better into the sound and dynamics. Very pleased with it! The JCM 800 #34 I had dialed in was a bit thin, but I switched it out with the HBE v2 I had on the X/Y switch and sounded immense.
Just one issue though - when I used tap tempo, there was a buzzing very audible in time with pressing the tap tempo button, and expression pedal 1 (a Moog EP-3) was very 'crackly' when I used it.
Anyone have any ideas what could cause these issues?
That's the beauty of so many options in the box!
What route did you go for amplification?
Would be interested to know
RE: the dynamics yes that's my experience comparing Native to my Axe FX 2. That's the biggest difference IMO, that and the the low end response of the higher gain amps.
Am rehearsing with my other band tomorrow night, so will be going through 2 DXR10's behind me. Fingers crossed that sounds great as well!
Found my headphones last night - so was able to try the Ax8 on headphone again.
Wow, definitely making me consider going FRFR instead of the front end of valve amp, although I'd be tempted by stereo which is mad.
Any recommendations for a small FRFR for home use?
And you're right, it's the most enjoyable headphone playing I've ever had, and that's the bottom end and dynamics, They just respond to the pick in a very natural way.
Tried the Recto models and liked them, SLO100 is great too (and more my taste, I'm basically an old school Marshall guy).
Also - Tiny Terror, gunned is great for the AC/DC type sound
live I use a Matrix GT1000FX power amp driving a pair of Marshall 4x12 cabs

Depends on what venues you're playing I guess.
I'd written off using mine with my regular 2x12 cab but should give it a go.
