Well, I have to say this, and for those it offends(you all know who you are), oh well. I have been playing guitar for 35+ years, and own some very nice gear, stuff that requires time to save for. I own 60's telecasters, three 60's stratocasters, and many vintage guitar pedals, and high quality hiwatt amps, and cabs. All this stuff took time to acquire, and knowledge to achieve great sound. I have to say without hesitation, the axe-fx is a wonderful piece of gear, now I do not own one but the guitar player in my band does, and I will be buying one. I will buy this because of the power of this product, and what it can do, and it is amazing. Now my buddy Jeff and I also find something equaling amazing, how this product can take grown adults and turn them into spoiled children(and you know who you are), spitting on the company that offered such a great piece of equipment, maybe you should go back to your digitech pedals, and your line 6 stuff, at least you would have pedal. I have never met Cliff, but I have met Tom, and he is a stand up guy, a business man, and I'm sure both Tom and Cliff are working around the clock, so all you whiners can have your precious pedal. And to all of you who are patient, or have come up with your own pedal, KUDOS to you, you are adults, people I wound want in my band, or to know. Cliff I have never met you, but thanks you are a brilliant man, and good job and keep up the good work. And Cliff, if I were you(and I'm not), I would make a Santa's list and put all the naughty children on the bottom of the MFC 101 list.
Good luck :~)
