We need a contest. With prizes
A guitar lead contest would be cool, or a guitar tone contest. Someone could post a direct track for use in a mix for a reamp contest.
IMO, things like lead playing and tones are too subjective to be part of a contest. Music (or any other art) is not a competition.
Things like this on a forum tend to become popularity contests, and there's usually a fair amount of butthurt involved by the time it's over. (I based this on having run a woodworking forum for a dozen or so years.)
I thought of doing something like this if I win the lottery! Win an Axe III with all the trimmings once a week type of thing.
I dunno, music contests seem to work fine on TV for things like The Voice and 'Insert your own country here' Got Talent. And fans bickering that their favs did not won or were cheated is as old as the dinosaurs. That in itself is highly entertaining to watch.
Dare I say that this would only be for Americans only as Fractal refuses to sell directly to Europeans and people in other places?
Yes I did.
So G66 cant deliver?

So far G66 has never participated in anything Fractal has done. Any sale that Fractal did as far back as I can remember G66 was basically all crickets and tumbleweeds. One big silence. They sell and service Fractal stuff, other then that they seem to be fully independent. This is what makes it so frustrating. You pay on average $1000+ more and you miss out on all the fun stuff.
But you at least get tasty chocolates.
