Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[…] next to the QC on a new board.

…nothing besides remains.

If it has a midi block that you can setup, or otherwise send program changes to your JVM... annnnddd if it has the typical "two switches at once to bank up/down" then I can see it being an excellent rig!!!

I think BluGuitar's solution on the Amp X is pretty solid: mono out (since the amp is mono) - stereo TRS return fx loop. You can then probably run it as a wet fx stereo thing from the main line outs, or just pipe it in mono to the poweramp.

Yeah I think this mystery device I’ll just have to run in stereo into the stereo Fx loop in the JC and bypass any effects that would go into the front. Just treat it as a FAS BigSky/Timeline/Mobius and BYOB for anything that needs to go in front.

"Repent! The BluGuitar Amp X is near!"

Very curious about the workflow now, and pricing of course. We all know the sounds will be stonking. I'm sort of hoping that I don't have to dick around with the grid too much, and that I don't have to make shunts manually... ideally it'd be a simpler user experience, with the same expressivity.

If it is literally just the Axe3 workflow in an effects-only pedal, I can deal with that. Would prefer to see improvements though.

I'll take a hybrid. Give me touch screen and the grid lol. I love that damn Fractal grid.

I never waste an opportunity to promote this place and the recent threads in the Fractal FB user groups have been getting a bit of TGF spam from me.

Ohmgawd man… im already passively fractal damaged by tgf… and now you like… go and fetch “real” fractalists!

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

Due to even more recent events I've officially changed my vote in the poll to: "JiveTurkey's resolve to "innovate" with audio signal routing" for reasons that must seem obvious to everyone.

Buy two

In theory I don’t even need one. (Laughs in AxeFx)

A metro 16 will fit the unit and a exp pedal. I think.

In theory you don't need one.

In actuality you may as well buy two.

YOLO!!

If this has the ability to load IRs I could see justifying getting one for use with my acoustic guitar. I currently use my FM9 for acoustic sets but all I use are the reverb and cabinet block (for acoustic tone matches).

1/8" midi jacks is a uuuge plus

No 4CM seems like an over site tho. Unless it's set up like the HX one where the stereo jacks double as send/retrn if you so desire

Yes this is how it works. Cliff confirmed.

Sick. I just kind of skimmed the last dozen pages trying to find a pic

That sounds like something one of my closest friends would say. And he’s the biggest cheap ass I’ve ever met.

Some friend you are

DuhFrom the look of the images, there’s isn’t enough information so we can’t uncover what’s not been captured.
