It does have channels and scenes and presets, etc. but in a simplified approach. Its primary application is live performance and the UI was designed with that in mind.<BR>
It sounds very good. It has the analog path from the Axe-Fx III (which evolved from the FX-8). Beta testers report that it "plays nicely" with difficult fx loops.
