All I'm saying is that for an intro price of around $40, and a presumable standard price of $50, Behringer (among others) makes some pedals that will save me a buck and work the same way with everything else that I have. In fact, Zoom makes some very affordable multi-effects that will get me , and do a hell of a lot more besides.
To put it another way, I think that this price point is off the mark. They're misreading their competition, especially when the concept of a studio master comes into play. More valuable for a Live user, or possibly a One, more than an X or Force or SE X user.
Yes you can find better & more affordable external gear but then which ones because once you go down that path let's be honest you're not gonna just buy 1. Then, do you have the time or motivation to do all the necessary research & product testing (buying/returning stuff) ? Will you have the space? & after you find a set you like, can you resist the urge to not...umm, reconsider your current setup when something new or vintage shows up?
Quality built in FXs helps to avoid GAS for external gear to some extent. Like just last night I ended up make the crazy track using Odyssey & messing with its Echo delay parameters in real-time & got cool some what similar results. The only problem is you can't use Echo by itself. This new FX give us that option built in.
This is a dope model, give us the basic version for free & make Pro paid versions of all or the most requested plugins. Give us what we need & let us pay for the luxury that we want. Better than nothing & them doing us like pre-2017 Akai products which didn't get all these new updates
This board is dead so I just be trying to keep it active.
