Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Los-D]

The XXL upgrade is $300. Level 69.

Finally!!!

I personally find it a cop out when a company can’t build a usable interface right on the unit and relies on a phone app. They are almost always problematic. Source Audio requires a headphone jack on your phone to work and has not updated their pedals to work with modern phones. TC’s Plethora has 3-5 screens depending on the device, but has a ton of features and settings that you can’t access unless you’re in the PC app or phone app, and the phone app constantly loses connection to the device.

IMO that nonsense is unacceptable. Make the device fully functional from the screen on the device and don’t cop out on connectivity.

Exactly why UAFX pedals are a complete fail

But I have no problem with a good mobile editor, as long as no features are locked away behind it and there is an equally good desktop editor.

Careful; those words are like catnip for some people here.

Why does the footswitch that's furthest away look so much larger than the others?
And why do the knobs look like there's 3 different sizes of them?

Because it's all AI-generated.

 

[mbenigni]

I dont know what the Value knob does anyway, so if it’s gone

It's primary purpose was to ensure you couldn't see the EDIT button. Or the ENTER button. I can never remember which. (That's how I know it's working LOL.)

It's 100% first Fractal Bass Modeler.
It won't be competing or replacing existing products.
It has 4 footswitches because = 4 strings duh.
Confirmed!

I thought it was 4 footswitches = 4 bass amp models.

ain’t they more into octaves and stuff? It’s an octave pedal! Fractal Bass Octaver

If it does have BT and an app, it'd be nice if it ported to the FM/Axe stuff, via a BT to MIDI adapter, or even a USB cable. Sometimes I don't feel like bringing my laptop, and an iPad would be easier (since my gigbags have pockets for it).

 

[Whizzinby]

I’ve been holding off on a couple gear items waiting for this mystery device to appear. (Which I probably won’t want day one anyway, but out of respect for Cliff I’m keeping my options open)

 

[FractalAudio]

Not much longer.

 

[JiveTurkey]

oh my god it's happening

 

[Aleksi]

Please be shit so I don't have to buy it

Wait. A couple of gear items? All the cool kids are buying QCs in pairs now.
