More I use the 6, less I feel I need a 12. In fact, even though I got my invitation for the 12, I still haven’t gone for it. Just really like the 6 size, and it’s pretty quick to go between layouts to the point where I don’t know if a 12 would save me that much time as I’d probably still be using a second layout on it. If the external switches can someday offer more options I don’t think I’d even consider the 12 again.
The per preset switches are also really powerful, though they do take time to setup.
I don’t for example need a flanger and a chorus and a phaser per song, so I just setup my per preset layout to have the one I need, and then with the limited 6 I still can have enough switches for the mod I use. Different than the kitchen sink approach of having 12 switches and an option for each, but I don’t really find myself missing that.
More so, I can always set up another effects layout with more choices so should I want that option, it’s just a MLM press away.
never would I of imagined 6 switches could be so powerful, after 17 on my mfc felt limited, but FAS really thought out some clever design to let you easily do a ton of stuff with very little real estate
