When I bought an early M13 , therewas a huge upgrade that added a lot of new effects. It was free. We could be back there again based on the price point.

I have still never been able to get Lincoln Brewster's Line 6 tone from the Axe or a real amp.
that Glen Dulane vid of the tones for the HD is awful....those tones aren't anywhere near any iteration of the Axe.
Digital gear, accessories (e.g., expression pedals), FRFR, etc. I also have had an uptick in guitar GAS.GAS is alive and well I see! It seems to have transferred over to digital gear than boutique for us Axe users though.
The thing is that they have a new way to model the amps that will make the amps behave in the same matter as the amps from the Axe FX
This remains to be seen.. I am curious and I think this product is exciting, but to think that line 6 makes the leap all the way from where they were at HD line to where the AXEfx is currently is not likely.
Time will tell.. but you can't assume it has the same amp behavior just from a couple videos and the list of buzzwords on the tech specs...

I've been reading threads where Line6 is claiming that their 20 years of modeling experience will allow them to squeeze the maximum out of the SHARC 21469, but I doubt it will be on the same level as the Axe or Kemper when all is said and done. If they had that level of brilliance, they would have been able to squeeze significantly better performance out of the SHARCs in the HD series. What's most interesting is I believe that's the exact same processor as the HD series ($30); where are they getting a $1499 price tag with such an inexpensive processor?
An interesting rig would be an Axe-II, Helix, and Boss SY-300. Use the Helix as the MIDI controller. This would give you crazy amounts of modeled effects and amps, synths, and external pedals that could be integrated into the Helix loops.
Imagine all the lights and blinking shit you could have with that setup!
Huh? How can Fractal charge the price they are for MFC as controller for Axe since the Helix controller does so much more for less money? Foot controllers with separate LCDs are expensive. Helix has one built in. I am sure AX8 from Fractal with 2 similar DSP will be similarly priced as well. I don't but a product based on how much the DSP cost. If Fractal could do a product that sounds way better than AX II, which is no easy feat, and it used a used xbox as DSP, I'd still pay 2600 bucks for it. I pay for sound quality and feature set. I could care less what hardware is used.
Thats because it's in his fingers :lol
I think this unit is a big risk for Line6. The company's primary market isn't used to spending $1500 on a unit. Additionally, folks with $1500 to drop on a modeller/fx units are likely to do some research and stumble across other options.
