I do too man, please don't take any of my posts the wrong way.
It depends who you are, how you use your AXE and what the conditions may be. I don't know about you, but I own a business, play shows all the time that rely heavily on my axe and am recording an album that will be released worldwide with two reputable labels. (not bragging, just enforcing my point, honest) If I tweak a tone for over a week or more, it's a HUGE inconvenience for me. I feel that should be accepted and respected by anyone and everyone whether they be in my position or not. That's just human compassion and consideration for another Axe brother.
"Then don't update" comes out, yet there are new things that are welcomed and needed in the update that I can't use. See my point? Playing a series of shows....new update comes along that alters my tone pretty drastic, yet the update fixes other things as well as gives me faster patch changes and better cpu use. I'm screwed if I want to keep my tone. LOL!
You also have to remember, just because something may be easier for a select few doesn't mean it's that way for others, ya know what I mean? There are quite a few bedroom guitar wizards on this site that aren't as concerned with pin-point accuracy tones nor do they rely on certain sounds live or in the studio because they may not be faced with clients, deadlines or just in search of a specific sound due to releasing an album on a legit label like myself. If you're ever in that position, you'll understand. If you ARE in that position, you are gifted...and I mean that respectfully, not sarcastically.
When something ain't right with my axe, I know about it and at times it's been a ferocious up-hill battle. There may only be 10 of us on this site that share my view...but we do exist. LOL!
Agreed.....but some complaints are justified. He wouldn't be the great company leader he is if he just told the minority to "get over it...this is how it is" while always listening to the masses that may be content. Granted, sometimes you have to do that...but as a boss/leader myself, I'm always listening and I'm always learning what I can do to try to keep everyone as happy as possible. That's what owning a business is all about. You know the difference between the whiners that feel the need to speak for the sake of a voice vs. the people that know how to deliver a message in a professional manner that just *MAY* make the people reading, totally understand.
So though I understand where you are coming from, I guess we'll have to respectfully agree to disagree.
I hope that any updates we get for our Axe's continue to be easy and painless for you and that you're never in some of the situations I've been in with mine. In that same breath, I also hope they are that way for me too! Hahaha! *fist bump*
