I know this is a looong shot; but I wonder if there is any chance that a future version of the Axe-FX might include a 13 pin midi in and a soundcard.
For years, I've been interested in the prospect of a decent sounding/tracking guitar synth; but the technology hasn't advanced in 20 years. Both the Roland and the Axon use sound cards from the mid eighties and produce sour ghost notes unless you fret with the precision of Holdsworth. The pick-ups both companies make are crap; and now it looks like the Brian Moore I guitars with 13 pin connectors have become more rare than sperm whales.
Cliff has done such a remarkable job in the area of modelling, maybe he can "clean up" the whole guitar synth debacle. Maybe a system could be developed that doesn't even require the 13 pin interface....I'm kinda talking out of my butt here; but i just don't understand why a good sounding/ easy to use guitar synth can't be done. I'm pretty sure that if it was done right, there'd be a market for it.
