Fractal Fanatic
I would still be perfectly happy with my AX8 if it never got another update. It sounds great. But I’ve got the III for going forward.
Just curious if anyone here buys a product that doesn't need or receive updates anymore. It seems by reading a lot of comments here, as well as other threads in the forum, if a product can't be updated regularly it simply isn't worth buying or owning anymore.
To each their own I suppose. With that criteria for purchasing a piece of gear though, there's really not a whole lot out there. Relying on other users to provide fulfillment or enjoyment of a product though is just a bit peculiar.I know it's stupid but I wouldn't buy it if there aren't any updates anymore. Not because I need the updates but because I don't want to spend money on something that has a diminishing community to exchange patches and information with.
The Axe-Fx III is just getting more focus right now.
Fractal says the AX8 is still a current product. So it should get update priority over the legacy Axe II. However, Fractals tight lips on AX8 updates makes me think it will also be put down soon.So the question "will Q10 come to the AX8" is important. Q10 from what I can tell incorporates Ares modeling and could potentially delineate the old vs new product development. I wouldn't expect Fractal to continue developing an old product but if they can port aspects of the new product (i.e. new models) to the old devices, that would be great.
Nah....Fractals tight lips on AX8 updates makes me think it will also be put down soon.
I think he's in Hawaii, so consider the time zone.At 420am.....do you guys ever sleep?

Otherwise, we'd have to wait for the new AX8 with updated processors and capabilities to run the new Ares modeling and what not.
It's going to be a few weeks. I've got a few other things that take priority right now but then I'll get onto this.

Shut up, play your guitar and stop being ungrateful! We should all be thankful he has given us a update and looks like we will be getting a update to a already awesome unit soon!
Sweet! Hope you are recovering well Cliff.It's going to be a few weeks. I've got a few other things that take priority right now but then I'll get onto this.
