Lots of additions there, though - apart from the toggles on the front and the IRs, there's the stereo return on the loop, stereo outputs, loop level and XLR out level, phantom power support...it genuinely looks like they've put a lot of effort into listening to all the issues that people have had over the years.
Definitely like the idea of two drive channels, though!
If they come out priced to take advantage of the vintage X88R halo, it's a hard "nope".
I'm not optimistic, though.
I wonder how they'll differentiate it.
I'm sort of wondering...would I buy it, at around £2k? Maybe...in the absence of an ADA MP-1 re-issue, the X88R would basically be a holy grail piece of gear for me. In terms of a "last rig I'd ever buy" kind of thing, it strikes me as a distinct possibility.
As a home rig...X88IR, a stereo delay/reverb, Marshall 20/20, a pair of decent reactive loads...yeah, I'd happily work with that. Hell, even just the X88IR into Two Notes Torpedo and its power amp emulation, that'd be a pretty sweet recording setup.
Guess I'd better start saving.
