Yes aftercare first impression is good. I bought a 4 months old fx8 from someone and the 3 year warranty period could be transferred without any problems. Just email them with the serialnr. Now after 13 months of using it the 5th footswitch broke of causing the unit to freeze so its unusable. So this is a good aftercare test
Hope I have it back in time before my gig 11 febr...
I just saw the option to purchase a b-stock FX-8 in the FA store. Has anyone here purchased one? Are the cosmetic blemishes serious? Are these units returned from a 14-day trial or warranty repair? Is there any risk in purchasing one?
Thats why we pay more in Europe ;-)Eh, to clarify, the warranty in the US as covered by FAS isn't transferable. When you buy a used unit in the US, it won't be warrantied. What international distributors cover is up to them.
To clarify further, B-Stock refers to new units direct from Fractal (or other distributors) that are blemished or otherwise something other than "pristine mint from the factory". But they are covered by full warranty as purchased new. It doesn't mean used.
All that said, Fractal Support is on point.
So Is it true that I can call and ask about the issues of the particular b-stock unit I'd like to buy?Typically the B-Stock units have nicks in the aluminum plates on the sides. Somewhere in the handling they get whacked and it takes a small chunk out of the aluminum. Other times it's usually a flaw in the powder coat or silkscreen.
Couldn't find a flaw on my B-stock FX-8 I ordered last week.
My FX8 is perfect! I'm trying figure out how to get it to communicate with my JP-2C via MIDI. I'm presently reading both manuals. Anybody know? Can I switch channels within the same Scene, or just for Presets? I need to learn the sequence to store a Preset/Scene. Thank you in advance for any help.
