Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[holoholo]

There’s no way in hell this thing has a touchscreen. But…

I pray to Jobu it will happen, just to see the “Touchscreens are overrated” crowd flip like a switch.

The "we don't need another FX8" crew already flipped

I really wanted to like my HX Effects but there were a few issues:

Added noise to my signal path that couldn't be gated (which is weird by HX Stomp didn't)
8 switches but only 4 snapshots
Editing was a pain with only scribble strips and no screen

The power of the FM3 would be killer on a board, but the size of the FM3 and only 3 switches is more difficult to manage. So a more compact unit with more switches would be awesome.

So run analog drive pedals into say the Friedman IR-X (or an amp), then running the FX4 for post-effects after (or in the loop). Would be pretty sweet.

Maybe I'm missing something but all the pics seem to suggest it's in a FM3 housing, right?

On scale of 1 to blocked pipes, show me how full of shit you are.

Cool story, bro.

Did I touch a nerve there dude?

Nah, you’re just obnoxious, and it’s unfortunate you make it look like you’re actually in the know.

I don’t think so. Not with 4 switches spaced out that way.

kinda looks like? you would have to think they would try and use the same housing if they could (for cost reasons). I hope not, the FM3 is too big

So you Believe that nothing i said could be posible by Fractal?

 

[Mongillo19]

Oh it's possible.....you just state it like you have an inside source and that it's fact (which it's not).

 

[Mongillo19]

I don’t think so. Not with 4 switches spaced out that way.

I think it's the dimensions of a FM3 but different layout

 

[paisleywookiee]

So you Believe that nothing i said could be posible by Fractal?

Sure it’s possible. Just don’t state like it’s a fact. Because you don’t know yet. It’s misleading.

 

[TubeStack]

What would you expect to pay?

I really don’t know… I’m in Canada, so whatever it is, it’ll be more here.

 

[TubeStack]

I should add that I think Fractal prices are great for what you’re getting, so I’m not worried about the price too much.

 

[nicolasrivera]

Ok then, expect to be surprised!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

What if it's just all bass amp models?

 

[Mongillo19]

What if it's just all bass amp models?

What if it's not

 

[GTR37]

Ok then, expect to be surprised!

I want to make sure we have this so it does not get lost in this thread . so your predictions are as follows
1: it will have amp models and fx
2. it will have a touchscreen
3. it will have an IOS

Honestly if you are right on those I think a lot of people will be very happy.

So lets wait and see

Come on man, you know better. FAS doesn’t give two shits about bass players.
