I am now going to give this mixer just one more chance. I ordered both defective StageScapes from Musician's Friend and they have an excellent return policy. They are getting a NEW shipment of these mixers in Mid to Late January 2016. They assured me that this is a NEW batch from Line 6... Hopefully Line 6 is smart enough to have this issue at the TOP of their priorities before they send any additional StageScape units that will flood the market.
I truly love the sound and all the amazing options of this digital mixer and I'm willing to give Line 6 just one more try, one more strike before they are out of my game forever.... Hoping Line 6 is monitoring and reading all of our concerns on this forum.
On a positive note: One of the reasons I am giving them one more honest try is "PETE" at Line 6 customer support. I have yet to have any problems getting my concerns answered by a real live human with knowledge, thank you Pete. For those worried about customer support, don't be; and for those who complain about Line 6 support I would say you have not made an honest attempt.
I am so hoping the NEW 2016 version, and my third try, is FLAWLESS !!!!!! I will issue another post when my 3rd board has been delivered and put through the paces...
Hoping Line 6 gets it right this time
