Anyone else see the Fractal AX8's for sale on TGP?

I wonder how the Amplifire Compares

 

[Beandust]

So the only difference between the AX8 and FX8 is the AX8 does amp modeling too? That seems like a huge feature bump for only 50 dollars additional...

The AX8 was designed as a modeler and not to be used with an amp where the FX8 was designed to be used to add fx to your amp. No 4CM with the AX8 among other things. So the AX8 is not just the FX8 with modeling capabilities.

You can certainly do 4CM with the AX8...........the AX8 pretty much does everything the FX8 does, except it cannot change channels on a tube amp.

The FX8 has a global looper while (I believe) the AX has a looper block you have to assign to presets and allows half the looping time of the FX.

Don't be pissed with the guys making money on the units. Be pissed that Fractal can never build enough product.

I guess I should've asked more...

Something is worth whatever it can actually sell for.....

True story. I was happy to get exactly what I paid for it. It was a few days old but still, you rarely get a product you won't lose money on. If someone isn't willing to wait then they can overpay. I waited for my invite, got it and didn't gel with it. Sold it without a loss. Works for me.
