Hi All,
This is my first post here on this forum . . . While I am new to the Fractal Forum, I am an active member of Rig-Talk, as well as the Randall MTS Forum (same handle).
I have my Axe-FX II and MFC-101 coming Thursday (two more days!). I'm a former G-System user (rackmount configuration, 4-cable method), which I just sold and shipped out yesterday. One thing I really did like about the G-System is that it served as an all-in-one solution as a multi-effects unit, MIDI foot controller, and 5-loop switcher; yet it only consumed a single 1U rack space . . . too bad it was really hard to configure to not be a tone sucker.
I still need to buy a switcher so I can still use my Egnater M4 preamp and my pedal drawer. I never liked the GCX . . . the RJM Rack Gizmo seems more in line with what I need. However, at $800 for the RJM, I'm planning to spend the extra $200-$300 and get a Sound Sculpture SwitchBlade 8B, which seems to me to be light years ahead of the RJM. The SwitchBlade GL is overkill for what I need (plus I really don't want to spend another $2K on a switcher - $1K is bad enough!). Anyone have any good/bad feedback on the Switch Blade 8B? Anyone have a used one they want to sell?
I've also got some expression pedal comments/ideas, which I'll be posting into an existing thread in the MFC-101 section. But since I'm a Fractal Noob, you'll probably be getting a lot of (hopefully not too stupid) questions from me in the coming weeks, so please bear with me!
