Honestly for $699 you should order this and see how you like it

This is tempting but I have no need any new FAS product for me will be the next gen

VP4 and some spdif cables are looking real good right now in my world

The list is trimmed down a bit but the essential stuff is in there. We removed things like "Viscous Homologater Diode Reverse Leakage Gamma Flux" and such.

Not the Viscous Homologater Diode Reverse Leakage Gamma Flux! That was the whole basis of my tone!

Other than the new UI paradigm, I have to wonder if this unit has *anything* that the AxeFX III doesn't already have. I don't need one but I'm GASing already anyway.

A couple of things: consolidated Amp/Cab block, consolidated amp and drives models, split output mode.

Fractal’s current-gen amp modeling under $1k.

This is primarily for all the people doing an amp pedal setup with a UA Dream/Ruby/Iridium/AC2 etc. This destroys all of those pedals on paper. (Especially considering you can bake in all of the FAS time based effects on the backend)

Probably aimed at people who need a minimum of effects and amp sounds at one time. Heck, I only ever use two amp sounds (one for clean, one for heavy) , maybe three or four effects and one IR. I'm sure that's also good enough for many thousands of people.

Damn. If I can make room for this where the hx stomp is on my pedalboard, I might have to try it.

 

[Stone]

So its like Fractals version of a HX stomp?

learned of this about 90 seconds ago.

Currently planning my new FM9+AM4+FC6 rig…

Does the AM4 have all of the same reverbs as FM3/9?

Wish - Chorus - the hunt for a great chorus.

The way I use chorus on my analog pedalboard is with a Boss Harmonist set to detune. It doesn't have the harsh warble that I find in the Fractal Choruses. The Fractal Pitch Detune block is very close and works great, but I only have access to one block, consequently I can't have an Octaver...

Yes
