Very generous, to say the least. It's always appreciated when a company proves its values with excellent products and putting customers first. Thank you!
Just FYI your shop page is gonna get F5 spammed. ;-)
Hmmm.... Line6 same quality as Fractal? Uhhh... I'm willing to bet not. However, I will agree Fractal is in for the kill!
It's a good price that gives food for thought, but adding Fractal's expression pedal would push the AX8 $40 beyond Helix's price... and I know I NEED an expression pedal. Having one not externally connected would make this choice a no-brainer.I'm sorry, but this is just a brutal price point - 100 $ less than the Line 6 Helix, with the same quality effects and amps as the Axe FX 2? I guess Fractal is in for the kill!
Depends on the effects but typically 8-10 in addition to amp and cab. The amp and cab block use very little of the main DSP. The amp runs in a dedicated DSP and the cab processing runs in an accelerator. Therefore most of the main DSP is available for effects.

Also, we'll see what happens with the price and availability when it arrives in Europe. I doubt it is this same month, and I seriously doubt the price will remain the same when converted to euros and shipping and importing is applied.
New launches are always good news, but I'm not yet decided, and won't be soon, I think.
P.S: Some info about availability and pricing for Europe would be much appreciated. Thanks!
What is the downsides of an AX-8 compared to an XL? What is the thing that it can't do? (I know that cpu won't be that big, but I was already around %70 with the Axe-II as well so.)
Will an Ernie ball VP jr work as an expression pedal? I only need it for volume swells and such.
So does this have 2 or 3 DSPs? Or, is it 2 DSPs and 1 accelerator(which sounds like it's a DSP)? I'm confused. It would be nice to have a table to compare and contrast the Axe-FX, the AX-8, and the FX-8.

If you didn't order your heavy duty FAS F5 key then you are at a serious disadvantage! :mrgreen
Or use it as a volume pedal in front of the AX8.Not unless you mod the pot from the audio taper to a linear one
People have been asking.
