Playong in a band again and I want to use the Amplifi 75 on stage. With the remote app, I modified a number of the standard presets according to my Needs and in such a way that e.g. the 4 presets of one specific bank contain all the 4 different “sounds” I want to use in one specific song.
on stage, with the remote app, I could switch to a different preset by touching it on the screen of my Ipad. But, in reality that means that in order to switch I need to stop playing everytime and use my finger to touch the required preset. This is not practical and absolutelly not fool proof.
the switch pedal would be a much better tool for this but it can only switch between the 4 presets that are currently “stored” on the amplifier (bank A). A solution here is, with the app at the beginning of a song, send the the needed presets, ONE by ONE, from the app to the 4 available preset locations on the amplifier. Then I can do the needed switches with my foot while performing.
But doing so is time consuming and absolutelly not practical. It would be already much better if I could, at the start of a song, save the 4 presets of one specific bank into the amplifier (being bank 1) IN ONE GO. But this option is, as far as I can see, not available in the remote app.Cannot be that difficult to implement that? It is just software. Line 6 devlopers, why don’t you go for it and make our stage life so much more comfortable.
The MKII Shortboard allows you to switch banks but in case you need to switch from bank 2 to bank 25 ( to give an extreme example) you need to be a trained tapdancer AND expert mathematician in order to fix that during a live performance.
I lke my Amplifi 75 very much but this shortcoming is a nuisance and very annoying!!!!!!!!
