It's fun, it's dead simple to use and in no time I felt like I was getting to grips with it. Within 30 minutes I'd updated the firmware, cycled through the presets and created a few of my own. It really is a joy to use.
The FX8 is a fair bit more austere, the learning curve is steeper and it gives up the goods a lot less readily. Reading the FX8 manual was like watching 'Fight Club' the first time round, I got to the end and muttered "ey?".
Once you've got your head round it (and I'm still not sure I have really) it sounds very good. That initial learning curve might be a bit steep for some though.
1. Ease of use not quite as user friendly as was hoped
2. FX8 is effects, not amp modelling (do I have that right?), so folks might decide they now want both after all.
3. Bigger budget now available & the lure of 'GAS' to buy the latest new kid on the block eg Helix, Headrush FX, the full AxeFxII etc etc
4. Some might find it overkill for what they need, or band broken up, and now they're selling/down-sizing, or switching back to conventional pedals
