Thanks for the continued replies and advice, all of which have been helpful. Pretty comfortable with the amps and mics at this point, and have been adding various effects and EQs with good but not great results as of yet,
I have several patches that are quite useful already, but I continue to make minor tweaks to help the tones sit in mixes in a more professional sounding manner. Each day things sound better and better! Loving the HD500x so far.
Thanks again, all.
