With that much horsepower, it would seem a shame if it couldn’t run an amp.

Meh… I think effects-only would be absolutely killer.

 

[GTR37]

we know it likely 99% just effects , but imagine if Cliff popped in a like he did with the 4cm,and said
"it has amps " I think the internet would implode

You guys get enough amps with your damn FM9s, FM3s, and AXEIIIs… just let us have this, please.

 

[dk_ace]

I don’t even know what it really is, and I’m already trying to decide if I should get this to go with my FM-9 instead of an FC-6…

Why not both?

What if it’s TWO new products? FX and Amps in separate units. Get the Fractal bits you want, or go all-in with an FM3/9…

FM4 Level Two upgrade adds amps for an extra $179....

Level 3 gives you a tuner, but you have to buy level 2 first.

Maybe that’s why it’s not out yet. Cliff saw the Kemper reaction…

THIS WILL HAVE AMP MODELING . There is no sense in an effects only unit. And I’m willing to die on this hill.

That latest picture which finally looks like it wasn’t shot on a potato -
Why does an FM4 have stereo inputs ? And no XLR out ? Is it… actually an efx unit ?

Where did you want your ashes scattered? Or do you prefer burial?

The unit is not intended for direct FOH, its a 4CM only for you amp, You do need to own a real tube amp in order to be able to use the unit!

You could just as easily use it with an amp modeler or profiler...

I actually hope they never release a plug-in version. I think it would undermine their hardware and open them up for piracy.

Helix Native does not seem to hurt Line 6.

 

[the swede]

I wonder, this must surely be using that “new” chip they were talking about before.

 

[the swede]

This doesn’t look like a serious product without those outs. It’s a $$ grab from cliff to fund the next gen fm/axe

It’s always “the next generation” with you. Its on repeat.
