Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Achilles]

I love FAS. This is the Anti-NDSP.

A) FAS Owner, President, and CEO, leaks to the Fractal-Universe (this forum ) a spoiler about his company's new product.
Radio silence for 7 weeks, until a vague mention from an endorser and a couple of fuzzy pictures.
Still no official announcement, no waitlist, and no ways to spend your money.

B) A couple of SOONs, a few self indulgent and ridiculous - yet enjoyable for their production - videos, and then a couple
Youtubers start to spill with production units in hand then... BAM!

Sweetwater is taking orders the next day and I paid the extra $25 to expedite and had one plugged in a day later.

You forgot the in between change your profile pic step

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 would totally use this with something like an IR-D in front.

And 4 is the pefect number of footswitches for a compact unit IMO. I'm liking what little I know of it!

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

Plenty of artists get early access to devices 6 months or even a year in advance, no? This seems pretty normal to me.

You do realize I'd probably stick with the same one for weeks on end if I didn't know that changing it a lot gets stuck in your craw.

Or Cinemax.

Just like famous artists, we European Fractal fans can expect to wait at least that long until we can buy it!

I blinked and fell about 15 pages behind on reading this thread. :O

That's what you get for blinking.

I'll just have to console myself with the Axe-Fx, I suppose.

A very accurate simulation of what the waitlist feels like!

That's what you get for ordering a "Dog shaped pillow" from Wish.
