I love the Input/Outputs being part of the grid, and the ability to have 4 of each. I also love the idea of being able to daisy chain the new foot controllers to expand what you can do with them. Thinking about that, and reading how some others use the current units, brought up a question. I didn't see this asked elsewhere, but I could have missed it. Just post the link if there is an answer elsewhere!
Scenario:
One guitar in input 1, 1 guitar in input two, routed entirely separate in the grid, to separate outputs... let's say guitar 1 going to out 1 and 2, the other to out 3 and 4 (stage monitor/mains). Now, connect two FC-6 or 12, daisy chained to the FAS-Link II connection.
Can you assign one FC6 to one guitar path, and the other to the second? If not now, is that kind of capability possible in future firmware?
I don't personally plan to use this live, but thought it could be cool for:
1. Downsizing necessary gear for rehearsals, by building a "rehearsal" preset
2. Functioning as a backup, even for bands with more than one FAS player
3. Cutting cost to bands that want to go FAS, but can't swing it.
I'm not advocating anything, saying the new unit lacks anything, saying something sucks if it isn't something else... please put away the flamethrowers! Just asking because it occurred to me that this would be a cool option for those of us that will probably incorporate more than one foot controller anyway and could make multiple uses of that.
