Fractal Audio Axe Fx IV Product Imminent??

[laxu]

Yes. The next set is ICONS Hanwell (Marshalls, etc.). Then ICONS Petaluma, ICONS Essex, ICONS Monterey, etc., etc., etc.

Is the plan to also include effects suited for each pack, or will they remain the same across the plugins?

I hope Fractal will quickly lean into the unique stuff in your lineup - the amps, cabs and effects not found anywhere else. I think for example a Mesa pack would be of interest to many where it's Rectifiers, Marks, Triaxis, Lonestar etc all in one.

Will there be a “We DM’d Wookiee, and these are his favorite amp models” Icons set?

As long as your favourite amp models are Atomica & JVM…

These don`t look like a Plugin form 2026. I don`t get it.

What’s a plugin form? Is there something I can fill out to make a request for a plugin?

Yes and you can use Star Wars ICONS

@Fractal M@ - not enough glassification!

I'm not a plugin guy, but even I can see how this will be much celebrated by a lot of players. Cool new product.

Confirmed: Fractal emulation of Line 6 Badonk is the next flagship product announcement.


ps. Congrats to team @FractalAudio for the new release =)

Cool! Pricing is hard because assuming each collection total is $300, you can potentially have all the mesas and all the marshalls in the fractal (but not all the effects and dynacabs, right?) for $600 or you could buy the AM4 for $700 and get everything.

I know different uses, but unless you are interested in just a few of the amps and are disciplined enough not to go crazy, I think it makes most sense financially to still go hardware.

I like this better than NDSP’s look.

Well done Fractal!

Leading off with the Fender stuff makes sense, it is the best modeling of Fender, by far, in my opinion.

If I can get accustomed to MIDI control of Logic I'll be selling the FM3 Turbo...well maybe...it's such a good device it will be tough to see it go. For portability purposes though an interface and laptop are all I really need since I'm not playing live.

I wonder though' "Behind the scenes, detailed component-level modeling recreates the preamp, tone stack, cathode follower, power supply, power amp, phase inverter, amp/speaker interaction, and more. In short, if you know how to dial in the amp, you know how to dial in the model!"
does that mean the deeper controls are no longer accessible?
OOOPS, never mind that last bit, The deeper menus are still there.

He needs to attach a cover sheet to his TPS reports.

Honestly, this is exactly what I envision a Fractal touchscreen device UI to be like right down to the new icons, tabbed UI and preset browser with tags.

And I wouldn't be surprised if these are their way of trialing that and working out the kinks in parallel as they finish up their next flagship hardware.

EDIT: @FractalAudio has basically already confirmed this in the other thread for this product. I likey! Will definitely be interested once it makes it way to a touchscreen hardware floorboard in a year or four.

This was my thought as well. Makes the AM4 look like a hell of a deal

Stoked there’s plugins out, it’s a step I’ve been desperate for and I think it’s a sensible concept and I think it’ll lead plugin users to buy hardware and hardware users to buy plugins.

I wonder, is this one of the lines of products that’ll be on the tail end of the “axefx III” generation, or will plugins be treated on par with the latest flagship updates?

Agree on the look of them, there’s so much potential to do more and take advantage of the platform. But it’ll do the job and the fact it even exists is enough of a buzz that it gets a pass.

Even if it’s locked at Gen3 I’m pumped. Can’t wait for the Mesa’s, Uberschall, Diezels, Marshalls (with ability to mod).
