Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[sashimi]

Maybe a smarter move to launch after anyway. Steal the spotlight. The newest thing always gets the spotlight.

To be honest, I don't see fractal stealing the spotlight. NDSP has a higher presence among the average consumer.

Really? Man those big marketing bucks must have really paid off. I must be out of the loop because Fractal seems like a bigger name to me, going back over a decade. NDSP just seems like the hot new thing on the forums that over promised and under delivered.

Damn I missed the 100'th page.

Anyway, we have been memeing, speculating, electric sex pantsing and laughting at the launch of the NONOCORTEX - now it's FAS turn.

These Gen Z kids are all about the plug ins

You spend too much time on forums then. I love fractal but I'd argue in terms of sales and popularity among the general guitar community, NDSP is more well known simply for the fact you can go on SW and it's front and center.

Now that obviously doesn't matter to Cliff and he just wants to do his own thing. But I think it's silly to say the QC is not immensely popular

Yeah I forget a lot of these kids were still learning their pronouns before NDSP came out

I think I’m just old and reluctant to trust new brands entering the market, regardless of how available they are

You didn't need to clarify you were old given the first part of your reply

QC, Helix, Boss GT, Kemper, Tonex, maybe not Headrush - they're all more popular than Fractal because they appeal to the average guitar player with their easy to use, flashy and modern UI and features like bluetooth mumbo-jumbo and touchscreens.

Average zoomer would think the FM9 is from 1980 by only looking at it.

Sooo… now y’all kids are coming back here again ain’t ya… running for the latest sniff on whatever dogs ass is farting for the moment right. Except Cliff doesn’t seem to fart very often….

 

[metropolis_4]

Everyone now assuming Fractal has some Nano Cortex killer and Cliff has been waiting for them to release so he can one-up them… what is that assumption even based on?

I haven’t seen anything from Fractal that would indicate what kind of product they’re releasing. It could be a clip on tuner for all we know

Alright alright. You've had enough, wee sonny-me-lad.

STEP AWAY FROM THE SNUS.

Fast food versus a trimmed out porterhouse.

No idea. If Fractal goes nano I’ll eat my FM9.

It’s almost certainly going to be a load box with dynacab tech. If not, I’ll eat my FM3.

People might burn this forum down if it's a loadbox

If people think a capture only unit doesn't fit NDSP audience, I can't imagine a loadbox fits fractals

I am not guessing anything , I think the point I was a making was it would be very ironic if NDSP went the dumbed down knobs and Analog look , and Cliff went the opposite with New modern look and GUI

But realistically I don't think its a modelling box , Load Box w Dynacab integration maybe

 

[Whizzinby]

The funny thing is 80% of the people in this thread own FAS products, so you already own the hypothetical “XYZ killer”.

If Cliff wants to compete in the Micro Machine Pedal Board Arms RaceTM, cool. RIP the loss of income to the Sherpa community that has hauled y’all’s FM3’s around to gigs all these years.

My hope is it will be something pushing the platform in new and unique direction.
