edit... More info from Cliff:
"It is not an Axe-Fx. It won't be able to do two amps or two cabs. It won't have things like the Vocoder and other esoteric blocks. It's a stripped down floor version at an aggressive price.
It will have G3 modeling and user IR slots. It has two dual-core DSPs, one for amp modeling the other for effects. These DSPs are slower than the ones in the Axe-Fx so it won't be able to do two instance of amps.
There will be block compatibility between the Axe-Fx and the AX-8 meaning you can copy blocks from your Axe-Fx presets into the AX-8.
It has USB, XLR outs for FOH, 1/4 outputs for local monitoring and an FX loop. Four expression pedal inputs. AC powered, no wall-wart."
Cool.....So it sounds like it will be a slightly stripped down AxeFx2 and will have the same awesome tones/effects but just not 2 amps at once which I never use anyway. Without a few of the more "out there" effects etc......... He said at an aggressive price, so since the effects only FX8 is going to be $1350 then I'm guessing this AX8 will be $1499-$1699???
I can't see it coming in any less, but stranger things have happened.......
