Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Jarick]

I am very intrigued.

FX4?

Size looks great.

Four footswitches is certainly better than two.

Looks like four knobs below a screen.

You see a screen there ?
I see no lights or glow indicating a screen unless it’s on the far right with would not be lining up w any of the knobs

There is a screen.

I'll be curious what they do to the UI if there are changes. Would LOVE to see the options stripped down a bit so they can be tweaked a little easier like an HX Stomp.

Also having the overall device smaller makes it easier to rationalize adding additional MIDI switching if necessary.

I stand corrected

There has to be a screen below the knobs IMO. Only question is touch screen or if there are buttons to the side. Angle isn't clear enough.

(leans to the left) - Axe 3 has 5 knobs below the screen, then rotary and other buttons to the side

(leans to the right) - HX Stomp has 3 knobs below the screen, then rotary and other buttons to the side

(leans to the right) - Quad Cortex has just the volume knob, touch screen, and rotary switches

There is a screen.

And it’s a Touch Screen!

 

[Badonkey Kong]

Yikes. Hard to tell from blur city but looks like IO not so great for 4CM?

 

[namathan_zirwir]

And it’s a Touch Screen!

it is? I thought Cliff always criticized touchscreens? Hmm

I don't think there is any credibility in the person saying it has a touchscreen

I wonder if the recent AF3 MIDI firmware updates were inspired by the needs of this new pedalboard-friendly device?

 

[Achilles]

You have a Doug shaped pillow. I have proof.

It's Huge!

 

[Orvillain]

So there you go. A Metro board of some kind.... and I reckon on a Metro24 the new FAS thing is gonna sit quite nicely next to a QC:

@Achilles - give me your glans, brother!

 

[GTR37]

It's Huge!

You might want to rethink this response

Just saying as a friend

 

[Baba]

So, we're all basically waiting for something in-between a Stomp and a Stomp XL?

Nah

Fractal F?? + NDSP Nano?

I've got myself worked up to thinking it's an FX4

I don't see enough effect loop jacks where it would be like the Boss MS3 which is a bit of a bummer because that would be fun

I just realized that's an expression pedal next to it in the pic. Depending on which it is, that should give a decent reference point for the size, maybe.

It’s bigger than a stomp for sure maybe a bit smaller than the FM3 but closer to that it would appear
