Impressions of AX8

Picked it up at UPS on lunch. Ran home and downloaded AX8 Edit and plugged into my CLR. Love being able to assign IA switches to whatever per patch....wish my MFC101 had that(but without screen it would be tough to remember!). Very cool unit, but I think I like the power for more complex patches in the Axe Fx II. May sell to my singer though as it would be perfect for his use. Sounded great though(as to be expected), and most won't have issue with CPU. I just don't like having limits to ideas I can come up with.

BTW....didn't think gaps between switching were anything to be concerned about.
 
BUT with the TigerSHARCs now at EOL, my (uninformed) guess is that FAS's focus for the next full power gen will be on developing for a new platform.

I thought I would be limited because I have all switches on the MFC assigned, but since you can X/Y switch and dynamically assign the IAs I haven't had an issue.

Really like this feature and the AX8 as a package.
