No worries man, not worked up at all Doesn't sound like you understood it. Most of this has been answered in previous threads. The OP was about being upset over a particular price point. There's nothing to get upset over! They are different products, FX8 has no amp modeling and more effects capability than the AX8 will, targeting different needs I don't expect it to be less, just wouldn't surprise me! I would expect it to be in the same price bracket.
You keep saying the AX8 will have fewer effects than the FX8. Based on what? Everthing Ive seen points to the effects being exactly the same.
