Does anyone remember the old days using a Roland GP-8. I had it set up with 8 patches for each of the three guitars I used. Just tap the bank up or down and you had another 8 patches available. Does anyone know why they stopped building multi-effects with more than 4 presets?

Hi Guys, I have one on hold at my local music store but after reading some of the posts here, I'm having second thoughts. I really want something that will work for live performance and this unit seems a little weak for that. Limited preset control and weak sound seem to be a consistent issue with many contributors to this forum. To really get the benefit it seems like you must get the pedal and an iPod so....more bucks to spend. Even then, it seems live performance is not a strong use even though the ads say it is. The tone matching feature really sounds interesting if it really works and the Blue Tooth sound cool too but there seems to be issues with those functions as well. Also, why not at least allow usb connection like previous Line 6 or Fender Mustang stuff? Has any one used this amp in an actual performance environment...Like in a bar standing next to a full grown drummer! Of course you can mic up to get to the audience but I wonder if there is even enough volume to be able to hear yourself? Any thought would be greatly appreciated. equ2me2
