Whether it's here on on social, we live in the age of contextless posts. 'Tis a hell made up of follow-up questions.

Cliff said he got a surprise, I guess it`s a IV ?

Oh, you mean the post from this very forum that's already been discussed a ton from seven days ago?

I really don’t think it the 4th gen
Another smaller pedal like delay maybe
And FM0 maybe

An engine change from Cygnus to something else

Wasn’t this already a thread?

It's a class A, single ended, single channel pedal platform tube amp.

Using el84s

That's quite a leap of faith.

Been 8 years, so why not?
New UI, to hang with the rest.. maybe

Just my personal intuition. Axe FX III amp tones and FX are already top tier, and I haven't gotten the impression that FAS is tooled up for the kind of UI overhaul that would make an Axe FX IV relevant or significantly more profitable. But who knows? Maybe they'll do another iterative release and rake in some cash from the (oh that word again) faithful. :)

Don't know what to think, considering the AM4 just came out. Maybe it's equiped to handle future updates in a way current units -- like fm3 -- cannot?

But I had gotten the impression from what has been talked publically that a legit new gen isn't that near.

Folks don`t think that 8 years is a long time, the Helix did hang on too long I think.. but thats just me

When I buy new stuff, I like to see what is new out there. I remember I just got my Axe Fx Ultra, and 5 months later the Axe Fx II came out.. not doing that again! haha

No one in this thread has suggested that 8 years isn't a long time.

It is fairly long stretch. The AM4 was a great pivot that will keep the current fires burning, I'd think?

A long time to build up some muscle memory for all dem buttons we gotta push to move a block!
