    small number of original FX8s for $1099

    You are not alone... I feel pretty miffed at this too, lost a wad of cash on this within a year due to this new version 2 and the extra kick in the balls with the US blowout deals. Every enquiry I get on mine the 1st question is always "which version is it?" and is purely a knock down tactic by...

    small number of original FX8s for $1099

    Gee, yeah, thanks Fractal..... Same here, mine is for sale for the incoming AX8 purchase, and this just makes it a whole lot harder to sell.... Only blessing for me is that I'm UK based and these are only available in US, but still.........

    Wish Control Switch Extra Features

    Can we have extra features on the Control Switches please: 1. Ability to assign a specific bank/scene to a control switch - this would allow a global "lead" preset to be selected (or clean, or whatever) - much like the old G system could do. 2. Ability to assign the Control Switch feature to...

    Does anybody know if the FX8 will switch the boost MV on a Shiva?

    Over the standard TRS footswitch on the back? Answer is Yes and very very simple to set up. I assume it's a later revision Shiva with the dual channel volumes on the 2nd channel?

    FX8 Freezes at gig

    I am still convinced that these freezes are caused by poor earth or dirty power. A hard one to prove as you would need all of the exact environmental at that time to replicate. What I will say though is that the FX8 seems to be the only unit that is so sensitive to this, mine has been good now...

    "All Right Now"

    BB should get you fairly close, low drive (1-2) through clean channel (that's what I'm using anyway) However, and the big however unfortunately is that a lot of that "tone" is down to the full chord inversions that Kossoff uses - I have played this song for years and years and it will only...

    How to get instantaneous switching

    I have no lag whatsoever and thats between, scenes and presets. Are you switching amp channels as well? - if so, are you 100% certain its not the amp lagging??

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    This is sadly EXACTLY what I said would happen, shocked it's happening already and this is where the MK2 designation (as much as I know why it is a MK2 now and it can't be changed and grudgingly accept the reasons why)will give buyers the opportunity to push the price down on the just as capable...

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    Thanks for the response. So, the million dollar question (which no doubt will give me something else to moan about) is... Will the firmware updates for the FX8 Mark I finally fizzle out and only the 2 with the upgrades will get updates or do you plan to roll out to both in parallel?

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    Don't care what they call it, in my eyes they need to do MORE to the new model before even calling a MK2 - have no issue with the MK2 name, just the minimal amount of new features that you would "expect" in a new MK designation. FX8 (Rev.B) could have been better, because thats all it is.....an...

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    yeah, whatever, I'm in the minority here and I get that, not going over my whole spiel all over again, its my opinion and thats that. Couldn't really give one about value, they devalue as soon as they leave the warehouse - normal retail rules - mines paid for itself already.. I'm just more...

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    and that just about sums it up... Sorry Chris, you're a really good guy on here and you have helped 1000's of us with things, but comments like that just leaves a bad taste. Like I say, I'm obviously in the minority here with not seeing things like everyone else and digging the new FX8, if it...

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    If there isn't that much difference I just can't see the justification for a MKII designation, that's all it does is make us original FX8 owners feel that we now have an outdated model and the price drop - well that makes me feel a whole lot better, gee thanks...

    FX8 Mark II looks sweeeet!

    Might be in the minority here but I prefer the MK1 looks wise and can't see the reason to "upgrade" purely for a 18db pad for the front end. An extra row of buttons or more CPU would be a different matter..the MK2 moniker makes it look like its new and improved where as it isn't and ultimately...
