Crazy how little talk there is about these, but from everything I've seen, they're right up there with anything else.

I've just gone through 11 patches, and I found the bogner xtc amp models, and now I'm spent :D
Not been excited about new gear like this for a long time, ok I'm playing it through my PA but its fucking amazing!!!!

Stupid easy to use too you're right Troy. Jesus, touch screen FTW!

dude yeah, I've had three including the rack ;) and an x3, many xt's and a pod2 or 3 ;)

Fuck this does blow them out of the water, it has useable presets and shite! user defined IR's etc Closest was amplifire but that wasn't user friendly for me. This is just - easy! I don't know if there's an editor or anything, I can't see me needing it!

Woah, I literally have been playing this since I got it, quick break for fissionchups, nothings made me want to do that for awhile. I believe there is a manual, and some downloads. I've not had the need yet. I love my techygoodness but this is just Mr Intuitive!

I'm planning reading the manual later when the missus deems it a polite time to remove volume from the neighborhood.
Sadly, gear going - line 6 hd500x: fully stocked. Nova system: no longer needed. Maybe AC15C: grab and hernia amp, replaced by huge mofo headrush! expressions of interest by pm. all reasonable pricing.

fucking fuck, you can edit it while its on the floor...hold down the amp button and it goes into amp edit mode, so treble/mids/bass, gain, presence are lit up on the footswitches, the expression pedal changes the values :D

I'm pretty happy with this, can you tell?
