I have to put my own 2 cents in on the Guitar Center thing. I hope Fractal NEVER puts its products in their stores. The product knowledge of MOST of the employees at Guitar Center is nil to none.It would be a disaster and misrepresentation if someone at GC had to show the product to their customer, more than just turning it on and letting them play, especially at that price point. I feel it would hurt Fractal reputation to first time purchasers if it wasn't shown correctly. I have been to Guitar Centers Pensacola, Orlando, Atlanta, New Orleans and Mobile and for the most part ended up not buying from them and going to locally owned music stores. The service is a disgrace.
After having such bad service at GC New Orleans I went directly to the store manager to order a Boss FV500 expression/ vol pedal. I was right there with him, he wrote it down on his sheet, had him repeat the model to me because the cheap non expression version is the FV50, anyways, sure enough when it came in FV 50 not FV500. That was my last straw, I will never purchase from GC again. Such a shame because they are wonderful stores.
One other note, before that FV500 thing my Line 6 Wireless cable went out. I like having a backup to everything so knowing you had to order that cable online I called GC to see if they had another Line 6 g55 relay guitar wireless. The guy that answered the phone actually told me Line 6 doesn't make wireless units............................................................
err, is it only me? I don't want AX-8 be cheap enough so everyone on the market can buy it, cause I kinda like the "exclusivity" of FAS Products
It's just you.. It's about the musician, not the gear. These are just tools.. If your playing sucks, it does not matter what kind of "exclusive" you own.
BTW,$10 for Axe FX Amps is not a bad deal at all if you consider they are the best modeling on the markek.
Maybe $9.95 sounds a bit better!
It lowers the sell cost because there is a certain guaranteed secondary income stream. It's a common business model nowadays: sell the product for less than you normally would and make up the difference in software downloads or monthly fees. The lower the entry cost the more people will buy one. The ultimate example of this is printers. They practically give them away. They make the money back on the ink or toner cartridges.
I don't think that price range is realistic, Fractal have never made any noise about even desiring to make something that cheap. They're about quality components and not cutting corners, I think that much we can all agree on, so I think right there... fantasy shattered!
Hell... even that price range is out of a lot of people's budgets!
Damn Craig, You are creating one hell of a big carbon foot print. LOLSo true. I haven't purchased ink in over 4 years. I have though owned 6 printers over that time period. When the ink dries up on the latest I look for the next rebated promotion/deal. My latest Cannon (xxxxx) ended up costing $9.99.
We've been contemplating that. This would lower the initial cost. Then sell amp models at $10 each or something.

Love it. I want one. Time to start saving.
