I am personally ok if there will be no updates in the future, but what is that really being sacrificed?
"few XL+ user's convenient" vs. "All I/II".
Just asking, not trying to be cheeky.
This!
@5150 I just needed to state my opinion due to one of your previous posts. NO, Fractal doesn't suck anyway, whatever direction they decide to head. I remember my Digitech times, and how seldom I got an update. I got none dude, none!
And Line 6 times, I don't remember how many days passed between the day I bought and sold that Line 6 unit
@FractalAudio , I'd totally understand and respect if Axe3 was coming out, and some or all of the existing units would be obsolete. But this is not the case. The case is that we Mark I/II owners will not be able to get the updates because some people want the older modeling version together with the new one. There are two choices here. The first is that many users will not be able to get updates, or some others will not update, and this will be their choice. Which is more fair? The strongest argument against my thought would be that the ones that don't choose to get the upgrades will not get the new amp models. I choose the path of empathy here, and as a high gain guy, I'm creating my own scenario. Let's say, that the 5153 model does not exist, but it will come in Q5. And I'm using the 6505+ model. My logic would choose the upgraded and more authentic 6505+ over the 5153. I can get close enough anyway!
I respect all of you my friends, regardless of your opinions, these are mine, and I need to state them.
What people need to understand is that if the older modeling versions are removed they are removed for all versions including the XL and XL+. It's a shared code base and it's too much work to be putting in a zillion #ifdefs to handle the Mark I/II case.
edit:
@FractalAudio , Neither I can, nor I would, if I could, never judge you whatever path you choose while seeking simpler code. I know how important it is.
