Hi anyone here,
I have an AX8 and have loved it. I have not been on this forum lately mostly cuz my AX8 works fine and yet it is discontinued so the discussion has tapered and I have had it long enough to know how to get around to make it do what I need. I love the fact of everything on one unit and large enough and enough foot buttons to get the job done. While the FM3 may be great, I like the larger footprint with more foot switches - and I don't want to purchase a separate foot controller just to have more foot buttons. While the AXIII may be great, I hate loading a rack mount plus a floor controller for playing out. I need simple and easy. So, I am kinda holding out and hoping for a more powerful AX8 type in the future. I did purchase a Helix and played around on it a couple weeks. I loved the interface but hated the tones compared to my AX8, so I returned it. I have been a satisfied Fractal user since my Ultra purchase many years ago; and Cliff is a genius.
So, all that to say, I see more and more options out there being developed by competition. I am wondering if Fractal has revealed any plans for a more robust AX-8 type of rig? More of the power of the III but in a simple one floor device. Any thoughts or links to where this discussion has been had would be appreciated.
Thanks!
