Just curious what you think of the Marco Fanton presets?   He always sounds good but I suspect that’s the playing.

Interesting you asked. I got the bogner/shiva one and I thought it was very good. Not really trying to nailing down the real one but a good “working man” preset. 2 things that I noticed:
1. He’s not following “best practices” like using scene controllers to automate gains or avoiding a v-shaped eq etc..
2. His preset is a bit all over the place.. so we on the amp block, some more on a 5-way boogie style, etc

Hes definitely getting there sound wise but it feels to me he doesn’t spend too much time reading the theory and has good ears

Where did you get the red sleeves/covers(?) for the sockets on the back?

It helps a lot when you're in a rush to setup in the dark!

Yes that's what I was thinking!
Hooked my AX8 up last night for the first time in almost 2 months and was a bit of a head scratcher at first.
Thanks for the link
