Here's a question. How long did it take for the FX8 to be released after it's first public announcement that it was being developed? And should we expect the same timetable for the ax8?

Soon?

Your question belongs in the future.........

Only one stomp label required.

I clear molded rubber slip cover would push sales OTT.

Shouldn't be much of a problem at church. Depending on how you roll.

I would love to see someone start producing clear silicon gel type covers for stuff like this. It's one thing to have tube screamer ruined but with the cost of some pedals and multi effects units these days it sure would be nice to have a simple way to protect your investment.

With a processor in there you have to worry about heat and air flow when putting a cover on it for performance.

I'll throw out a +1 to not liking the lower numbers being the second row.

Maybe, it seems unlikely that it's going to vent out the top and the back coul have an airway buffer built in to the cover. I'm not talking about something to protect against submersion, just the sloppy beer spray. I always have my MIDI controllers on a pedaltrain to keep them off the floor as well.

I notice there are no navigation buttons. It doesn't mean much by itself, but it makes you wonder whether the matrix routing is there.

Looks like there is a button named NAV. Maybe it behaves like a joystick.

Agree with that....I'm already designing a pedal board in my head that I will build.
There will be plexi glass over the controls. Plexi will be on a hinge for editing, but it will provide beer and drunk girl protection.
I did it 100 years ago with a pod xt and I will absolutely build one for the Ax8.
Can't wait for this.

Looks like a knob, and I imagine it replaces the arrow keys on the regular axe.

What about the Axe-Fx II? Won't the Ax8 take potential customers for it?

Product variety = more sales.

You can bet on that.

 

[Johan Allard]

Just realized I hit the 7K club...

Congratulations!

 

[jefferski]

And don't forget double customers. I don't have a need for two Axe-Fx's but I would definitely buy one of these floor models as a backup/home/grab-n-go unit where I don't need all the horsepower that I would for more demanding gigs.

This exactly. Load my main presets and ready to go.

(not that I wouldn't *like* to have two Axe-Fx, just don't have the need)

This is fx8 killer

good point lol. In a way, it answers my question. it might be 2016 before we see the ax8

 

[USMC_Trev]

Or it might be just in time for Christmas

I agree for most guitarists IMO .1234 are the main presets that are usually the most accessible usually bottom row

Agree also....
