Soon

[Akstrat]

Release Candidate software has been released to the testers. Units are assembled and tested awaiting final firmware.

Just how many units are assembled or will there be enough for all those on the wait list?

Soon is so October. We need a new soon word. Maybe "Imminent".

I'm afraid that info is on a need to know basis!! We do know it will be "soon"!!

 

[Barmaleus]

Great news! Waiting in Europe =)

 

[3dognate]

Oh testers... run your test cases, test your defects that you reported... validate the release candidate and let cliff get this sucker into my hands.

I hope my ax8 email will come soon so I'll be able to take advantage of the free shipping code.

I'll bet it won't apply. Just like the 10% code didn't apply to the FX8.

Megatap delay will be in I can imagine, can't see why not, same dsp as FX8, and it has it.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[ethomas1013]

Yes, the discounts in the past have not applied to waiting list items. Only in-stock items.

Noooooo! No tone match? Dammit. So sad... no B7K action with the AX8 for me... gotta pull out the real pedal again, among several others. I have a sad.

tonematch blocks can be loaded as IR's, you just can't make a Tonematch, but User tonematchs I believe are just exported as IR's

 

[selta]

Ah. That makes a bit of sense, and I hope is true. Guess we'll find out "soon"

 

[ethomas1013]

Yes, Tone Matches can be exported as IR's. The list of FX and what is/is not included is still unofficial. For all we know Tone Match will be included... Probably not, but you never know.

I was going to cite to the Smiths and ask "How now is soon?" But here's one for us Prog rockers

(From Yes - Relayer: the Gates of Delirium)

Soon oh soon the (green) light
Pass within and soothe the endless night
And wait here for you
AX8 will soon be here

Soon oh soon the (delay) time
All we move to (increase) gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
AX8 will soon be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape (ADSR) for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
AX8 will soon be here
Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all (modulation) time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
AX8 will soon be here

 

[Adinfinitum]

According to The Smiths, "How Soon is Now"

Second best all-time Trem-based guitar tune next to Gimme Shelter (my all time coolest trem song). Something about trem that just gives a song such a cool, hypnotic vibe.

Great News!
