I guess I'm a little slow. I didn't realize this was essentially a floor based Axe Fx.
He's not referring to models or types, he's just talking about the maximum number of the same block available per preset. This means that in a preset you can have for example two drives in chain (any model you wish) but just one reverb (again any type you wish)"Fractal rep says (at 1:07 in) that a lot of the effects have one type of the effect, although they doubled up on a few things like delays and drives (meaning just two drive models?)."
That is a question from a guy on TGP..........can we get an answer on this please.
I have noticed there hasn't been any recent talk of the amount of effects included in the AX8.....only that it has all amp models+cabs from the flagship.
Months ago Cliff said "all effects except for some of the more esoteric ones would be included".
Joe's comment in the vid suggests it may actually just have one or two types of each effect included.
there are 2 separate topics here."Fractal rep says (at 1:07 in) that a lot of the effects have one type of the effect, although they doubled up on a few things like delays and drives (meaning just two drive models?)."

in the video, i think Joe said "types" when he really meant block instances. so he was saying there is 1 Amp Block, 1 Cab block and mostly 1 of any other available block per preset. however certain blocks like Delay and Drive have 2 available per preset. he mentioned other "stuff that's common" so maybe other blocks will have more than 1 available per preset - perhaps Filter or GEQ/PEQ.
the other topic that wasn't discussed in the video is what TYPES of blocks there will be, like Delay vs MultiDelay. that's a separate issue, and at this point most people are guessing it's the same types available in the FX8 currently, but that hasn't been confirmed at all.
the word "type" can also be confused to mean the options within a block, like Hall, Plate, Cavern etc Reverb "types." i'm pretty sure that any block included in the AX8 will have the exact same options as the Axe-Fx II, so they don't have to make different blocks for each unit (axe vs fx8 vs ax8).
Wasn't it said that all blocks will have X/Y states?
I guess I'm a little slow. I didn't realize this was essentially a floor based Axe Fx. For whatever reason, I thought it was amp/cab sims only, and the FX8 was the effects side of it, so that if you wanted a floor based Axe FX, you'd need to buy both floor units.
I'm suddenly "more interested"!
