    I've been considering picking up an MFC, and I'm confident the current model will work just fine for me. Perhaps Fractal is just getting the AX8s pumped out, and will restock the MFCs once things settle down a bit., I just thought a new controller might be a cool surprise. Not a necessity. :)

    AX8 vs Helix: Amp Tone and Effects

    I agree that at the end of the day if someone likes what they have that's what it's all about. One of the challenges with digital modeling seems to be not adding additional harmonic content from rounding that sounds unnatural. People's perceptions of accuracy vary widely.... It's all real. :)

    It's all good. To me there's some discernible differences. Someone else's conclusions are obviously up to them. I do believe that the differences are more highlighted in actual usage. Have you had a chance to play a Helix, An Axe with Quantum, or an AX8 in person?

    AX8 vs Helix: Amp Tone and Effects

    I don't think that Line 6 can be compared to a powerhouse like Apple. To me the Helix has an interesting interface, but it's hardly a disruptive piece of technology like the iPhone or iPad. The Quantum firmware is deep. Line 6 has a way to go to catch up. Yet taste is subjective.
