If there wasn’t differentiation in the market why would we need competing brands ?
If one product did anything and everything then we’d all just have that one product.
Why do we need Honda, Toyota, Ford etc, it requires a decision making process. Do we really want everyone driving the exact same car, in the exact same color ?
Why own a bunch of different guitars, if only we could have one model that can change scale, cool tap pickups, split coils, move positions, change bridge type etc. no more decision on what’s to buy.... well I for one thing owning as many different guitars as possible is a fun thing.
Choice is a good thing folks. Different brands each specializing in a given technolgy is a good thing. It lets us choose what best fits our needs and budgets.
People have gotten a little crazy with wish’s IMO. It’s like they want one unit to have every model of every amp ever made, along with every effect pedal etc. they want the exact algorithms Strymon uses, Eventide use, Digitech uses etc. They want the modeling technology and UI of the competition, throw in a KPA too while we are at it. Heck, the synth block isn’t a good as a stand alone keyboard, I think they should be improved too, don’t you? Virtual analog subtractive polyphonic synth stuff should be doable, the III has more cpu than most any keyboard on the market, why dont we have a better synth block?
Basically the III should do anything and everything better than anything else in the market, and while we are wishing, it should also be $1000 less expensive, and in more plentiful stock. Plus the foot controller should of come out 3 months ago, and should only be $299
