Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Hapless]

Removable footswitch array? That'd be kind of cool. Like.. you can get it with or without footswitches... Gateway to FM0? FX0?

-Aaron

What if...hear me out...the footswitches aren't Fractal at all. Like he is using another standalone footswitch with the...again, hear me out...FM0.

A Pedaltrain metro is 8" depth for reference.

Another thought how this can be cheaper: less updates. Compared to their amp modeling, Fractal effects get far less updates, and their list of fx is massive already.

If we assume this can do a roughly FM3 level of effects, it can use a good chunk cheaper processor and maybe have some limitations to delays as they ran on the same core as the FM3 amp modeling.

If it's nice to operate, it's a buy from me too. I love my pedalboard, but it's really expensive and still has a lot of inconveniences that a multifx unit simplifies greatly.

4 > 3 every time, whether it's knobs or footswitches. 3 is the wrong number of knobs for anything that isn't a simple overdrive or similar.


I don't think it is. I think this is a bit of a mid-gen device that is meant to pack Fractal's great effects into something a bit more compact and cheaper than the FM3 without cannibalizing their existing products.

If it has all Fractal fx this could be a great unit for people who are fine with 1 amp + cab but want a bit more from fx than what the FM3 can do.

I know a lot of people don't care for the Fractal UI, but it's never bothered me. So if it's exactly like the 3, no issue here. If it comes with an Axe-Edit style program as well, bonus.

Agreed on 4>3.

4 Footswitches, a couple of "always on's", a volume pedal. Shred.

like the new product might be FM3-sized but slightly less deep and potentially lower height

QC territory?

So touchscreen, Bluetooth to Frac app, fm native, updated chips with power of fm9 in fm4 enclosure confirmed?

Insta-buy from me if I'm right.

I think you forgot FAS captures, Fractal's own capture tech. It can capture the souls of famous players and install them right into this new device, so you too can finally have the feel of those inspiring players!

That awesome local guy who rips at every blues jam? He too could reside in your new Fractal unit tomorrow!

Only visible to those in the group, you need to post a screenshot.

It's the same photo that's been posted here, and Nicolas Rivera is the poster so he probably got it from here or TOP.

If it's already being used out in the wild I'm really wishing they would atleast announce it

I love FAS. This is the Anti-NDSP, instead of announcing vaporware with “soon” and a bunch of anime-style BS (or god forbid a short film), they DONT announce it and and instead it’s not only real but people are touring it.

To be fair the short film saga lasted 3 days

Petrucci got one stuck in his flocks and he can't groom it out even with his concoction of smooth coconut scented beard oil.
Meanwhile you can drool over a few blurry pixels.
