Thanks for your input…but Eventide has distortion presets in their 4.0 eclipse and other high end processors. I am not looking for the typical line 6, digitech, etc….I am looking for Eventide. Yeah, I can go spend 1k for an AVE FX, but it isn't practical for me $.. Plus I want stereo ins and outs with distortion. The AXE FX is the greatest, warmest distortion so far… but why pay the price when I like  Eventide better? Eventide has the ability to create some awesome distortion, cab sims, low bit, experimental sounds….They just need to do it…Otherwise, I will keep my 2 H9'S and buy an AXE FX….EVENTIDE, It is time someone gave Fractal some competition……anyone agree?
