That will be unavoidable, and it will be more severe with Fractal than any other company!

As to Andy’s comment:

I think he says he’s an amp guy because he’s only creating chorus and delay presets on the unit for customers..
and probably not using the modeling.

I may or may not be working on a waitlist spreadsheet already…

IMO a small say 15 amp model ,A few drives , mod fx . Delay / rev
And Dyna cabs at $650 (hx stomp prices) would sell like hot cakes or waffles

Man, if they have limited amps, I’ll even take FAS only.

The NanoCortex is such an amazing device. IF it didn't have the capture feature than I would have had no mercy on them, but it is the ONLY pedal that can capture in 5 minutes at that size and price range! It will have no competition for a long while.

I can't believe it seems likely that it will be less than 3 months old by the time the product is released. That's gotta be some kinda record.

Watched the Andy Wood video which was really good.

Only thing I could take away is that it has effects (chorus, delay, reverb).

Not sure what he referred to with Friedman, I was kind of thinking he was using something like an IR-X or IR-D?

Anyways if it's a Fractal effects unit that would be a lot of fun.

Absolutely. I have no idea how Fractal's platform would scale down though if you do e.g something with fixed routing and fx categories, maybe plastic case etc. Will those be enough to push it down to HX Stomp level prices without significant compromises to the sound?

The only reason you can't believe that is because you have the mental capacity of a 3 year old. The rest of us have nooooooo problem conceiving of this.

Plastic case would kill it in the water for some.

Bitch

Fractal would never do that to a pro unit.

 

[Orvillain]

FAS won't go plastic case. But I could see them doing something with a 2x8 grid, 4 footswitches, all the drives, mods, delays, verbs. Verbs locked to normal quality to save dsp. Utility stuff like eqs, comps, etc. sack the resonator type stuff off. Keep the Smyths. Looper block with pre or post positioning. Small screen. Stereo in and out. FX loop.

Basically their take on a plethora
