Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

Annnnd, the Fractal site is down.

I'm guessing DL-4 width, QC depth. With a fat screen, control knobs, and 4 switches.

I'm at work, so it could have been some firewall weirdness.

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.

Andy Wood uses an expression for delay (possibly reverb) mix so wouldn't be surprised if that's a feature too.

Here's his old pedalboard:

It sounded like he had his Woodshed comp and Gearbox, maybe the Suhr boost as well, then the expression for wet effect mix, noted that users would get his chorus and delay, also mentioned he was an amp guy and he had a Friedman on the board, which I'm guessing was the IR-X or IR-D.

So yeah my guess is it's a Fractal effects unit.

How much of a meltdown would we have if Cliff charges to unlock tiers of effects or functionality?

I'd have to get off the internet for a few weeks.

 

[Lysander]

Aw man, I was really hoping for a small FM Stomp-like device

Agree with most here, looks like this is the successor to the FX8.

I would retroactively change my mind and declare that all companies can charge whatever they want for whatever tiers/tears they want!

Maybe just say fuck it all and go back to Boss pedals!
