I'm assuming you'll want an expensive dinner before we can get any further? lol

I just see main outs and fx send ? I do not see output two, only main out and fx send , any ideas about no output two being there ?
I just want to know if I should wait to buy the MFC?!?
Allright Heat up speculations with a backshot of the connecting panel!?
Let`s begin the fun part:
My Speculations:
This is the advanced FX8 including Amp modeling. Driven by one Tigersharc or two lower cost Sharc-processors. Instead of stereo IN, it`s just Mono (like the Mono Left front input on the Axe-II) - only three (instead of 4 at Axe-Fx) Input Leds for IN1 Mono and FX return Stereo. Routing possibilites are (in comparison to the more flexbility of the Axe-Fx) similiar to the FX8. Amp-Sim & FX identical to Axe-Fx, but w/o IR capture tool and TMA. Also just one Amp-Block instead of two in the Axe-Fx (because of lower CPU capabilities). FX-Loop sent/returns in stereo. No FASlink or Ethercon, but MIDI IN & OUT/THRU. No DIGI connections, like FX8. USB for update / editing / backup, but no Sound Interface capabilities.
Harware bypass guarantee to put out the FX8 completely from existing "analog rig". So you can combine AX8 with existing Tube Amp and effect periphery or exclude the AX8 completely from existing rig. Also: FX Loop can "include" existing Tube Amp as second Amp beside AMP-block for Dual Amp setups ...
Like the FX8: Connections for two Expression Pedals. Scenes / Switching capabilities same as FX8...
price: US $1999 - 2199

By the way: I like the "black burst Aluminium" finish a lot over the silver from the FX8 & MFC101! Looks to me more pro and understatement.
