Thanks. With your help I found them without the non-manual. Yes maybe good starting points. Will report in a couple days.

Well, I really want to love this new 500X, and after initial run thru the 64 preset tones, finding 90 percent not fitting my band's style, but also crediting the excellent imaging, and also amazed at the synth and brass (ho'wd they DO THAT?) , I'm reminded that that lack of a full paper publication (like the X3L was supplied with) is annoying, and I have not yet read about the SETLIST feature.....WAAAH. I guess I'll wear out the printer churning out a usable quick-reference book. SNIVEL. Backing off, I'll keep printing, reading and working on it. I NEED the loveley acoustic tones i described above. Now...searching for SETLIST; which is probably exactly what I need. Hang with me djspleen (SPLEEN?).

You are correct Mr Guru. I'll begin to experiment with the Vintage Pre and EQs next couple days to build up the following acoustic tones: A=clean/warm; B=same with more shimmer; C=bright acoustic lead; D= A+some kinda light phase/flange. My Larrivee acoustic features the Fishman Prefix Plus pickup. Now here's the dumb question.....can I then assign to a user patch, say bank 17A-D? Thanks for your help, there will be more warcloudwells

Oh Oh; maybe buyers remourse for me. I made a snap decision today, and have just now run thru the 500X presets with disappointment regarding acoustic guitar tones that were reasonably supported on my X3Live. But the X3 has been glitching with a couple nuisance issues and I dropped the $500 at GC today thinking this unit would be snappier and brighter than the X3L. No doubt it is, but I suddenly feel that it will be much tougher to get my familiar loved tones. I play a Les Paul, and a good acoustic about 50/50 in my local not-pro R&B chick-led repertoir band. I'm gonna have to go back to school to build up the acoustics, while the electric side is pretty well served by plexi lead clean with Ibanex tube screamer sometimes thrown on top. Acoustically, I'm looking for that memorable bright "piezio rock strum" of the X3L, but with separate bright lead, and also a phase-verb effect...those were easyand pro-sounding to set up on the X3L. It's getting late, and I work on it the next couple days. Not quite sure where to start. warcloudwells
