Thanks Larry!!

Although I have FX1, I'm wondering if FX2 is worth the upgrade?

With the current sale going on it's actually cheaper to by the Elite Combo
than to just buy the upgrade to FX 2 Elite!

FX 2 Elite Upgrade is $199
The Combo is $185, and with the 10% discount
makes it $166.50!  Code is LABORDAY10

I should've mentioned I do have the Bias Amp Elite too....will have to see what else I can do fit my situ...

Cheers Lar!

[Larry Shelby]

Yes, that's what I have, and I knew you had it too..so the price for you
and I would be the same!

Yes it is IMO. 

You mention you have BAmp Elite, so I assume it is BA2 as the original never had an 'Elite' tier, so youi'll be able to have all your BA2 amps in BFX2 with fx available etc. Sound is better than FX1, although I still use FX1 as well for certain things, as well as Amp (1), there is just something with some amps that is lost with the transfer to Amp2, not that it's worse, more of a 'different' thing. But all said and done the sound quality and some other aspects are just straight out better in Amp2 or FX2.

[Edit} Plus you get all the fixes of course, the preset management is better, but compared to other products, and IMO, is still woefully subpar, but it is better and it is what it is. Performance/Loading times are better (especially with latest update) New, updated DSP engine is an improvement, stuff like pitch shifting/octaving works better, it was pretty sad in BFX1, still has a lot of room for improvement compared to some others, but much more usable now.  The new harmonizer can be quite usable.  Re-sizeable GUI, well 3 choices, Standard 125% and 175% I think it is. There are still a lot of stuff missing that should be there, in all PG products, value readouts, being able to tell what value a dial or knob is at, being able to revert a setting to default by ex double click, etc, there are many more 'little' things that all PG products still lack which are standard in other packages, and these things would make life much better. It is what it is, I like the sound I can get from PG products more than any other (I Own most available) but it could be soooo much better in terms of usability, but  .  .  .

Personally I have no regrets with the upgrade, I feel it was well worth it to stay current

I got it recently and I also think BFX 2 is well worth the upgrade.

My FX2 upgrade to Elite  was $80 last week and $90 with the sale this week. Lol. 

[Mesh]

Done!!

Got the combo pack as that was the best deal. They really should've had a better pricing upgrade path from FX1 to FX2 (i.e. $99) which would've been more reasonable, but I'm happy with their products. 

Thanks all for chiming in.......Helix Native is next.
