Dude, after our initial purchase, everything else we got was freebee!! Enjoy it! LOL
Cliff, what about adding an optical mode to the amp's output comp?
Roll back to 7! I'm sure the memory intensive multiple FW versions were a huge headache for Cliff & FAS to deal with and burned up a lot of time that could have been used for updating/adding other cool effects!
But is it worth 1000 bucks? I mean really $1000 more? Because I can find a MK II online for that difference and given the number of owners on these forums who screamed outrage when they lost out to the modeling ability of previous FW versions, it does make one wonder...
It was a nice add on being able to role back any preset 3 FW's but the XL(+) is also running out of memory to add things so as happened with the MK II loosing roll back if they want to update, this has to happen to the XL(+). I just didn't think it would happen so soon but as a gigging musician, I am happy I have a newer Axe with the added features. Those that decided to upgraded earlier lost less (only $500 for some).
Was it officially stated somewhere that the XL is running out of memory? My interpretation of the removal was simply that with everyone's reactions to how great 7 sounded Cliff just felt it was time. And a side effect of that is that it would also free up space for even more future advancements. But I didn't get the impression that the XL's were running critically low on memory.
Ah, so it's not just more capacity and features that we're talking about. It's also new vs. used. And current vs. discontinued.
Given the number of owners who screamed outrage, I'd say there wasn't much outrage at all. Some were disappointed, and they expressed their disappointment.
Either you can't read or you are intentionally setting up a straw dog. Previously, I agreed with an earlier complaint regarding the decision to eliminate the ability to utilize previous modeling versions. I, along with many other users, enjoyed this feature and found it extremely helpful in the recording process (i.e. time savings). You sir needn't act with such hostility simply because I am not fawning over this decision. I have purchased each and every version of the Axe-Fx that has been released (something that many of the MK II users can't state). Therefore, my support of this company is not in question. I respectfully reserve the right to disagree with ANY decision that the creator has made. This doesn't mean I am going to burn the hardware or engage in any other melodramatic act. Sadly, I am finding that any disagreement, or hint that things aren't perfect, automatically results in a deluge of hostile comments that border on bullying. Your sophomoric critique is further evidence that we are living in the world of Trump.
I said from the beginning that when cliff felt it was time then I would accept it. But just because it makes no sense to YOU, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense for someone else...
Yes, not specifically stated! I am hoping it is a case of too much hassle vs not enough memory. The reason Cliff did FW rollback in the first place was to appease the complainers and I'm guessing he wouldn't take the complaints again unless he had too.
