Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

So it would be really super duper badass if this thing had a touchscreen.

It's a product launch version of go fish.

FAS HATS. THATS THE NEWS I NEEDED

I’m just curious to see what the onboard controls look like. Thats where this can go from cool to great. If it’s intuitive to tweak on-device, then I think this is badass for those of us that have been wanting a FAS Timeline/BigSky/Mobius/H90 to slap on our amp rigs. If it’s a flavor of the current faceplate controls, then… yeah… ok… I guess.

If this effects-only device hits $999 or so, it's going to be a massive punch in the nuts to Eventide and Strymon. The H90 does two "algorithms" at once, and a Timeline/Big Sky MX combo is almost a grand for just reverb and delay.

It's going to be $199, and Fractal have licensed effects from Zoom.

FAS ain't gonna hit those price points with a wait list (aka back-ordered)
They'll need to move some healthy production numbers right out of the gate,
preferably with some of the mega-dealers like Sweetwater and Andertons.

Or, I'm entirely wrong and they got something else up their sleeves.....

There's a box of Frankincence on the shelf behind him.

I thought they have some limitations in terms of producing really large number of units. And their model was a direct sale so I don't think we can expect the rollout through any 3d party vendors.

It's pronounced "Beeta"

Hoping a smaller, less costly (for them) unit might allow them to go the other business model route,
which you'd hope would get it into more hands quicker.

Although Sweetwater ran out of the Nanocortex in about 24 hours and are now back-ordered.

3 for 3 so far. Let’s try another….

Definitely pushing it now. lol

I can't wait for the mental gymnastics from the FAS die-hards who absolutely despise "new, streamlined UIs"... until 5ms after FAS releases one.

Now that Finland has joined NATO, @laxu is obligated to like it.

This is on my radar for a board build but someone had to convince me to buy some Boss pedals and I’m going to put that board together first Need to track down an RV-6 and SD-1…

Gotta list my HX Stomp and I could see this unit replacing it down the road, or maybe end up with a Stomp XL again.

I have an SD-1 if you're interested.

@laxu liking it will be a pretty good indicator as to whether it makes sense, actually.
