Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Boudoir Guitar]

I bet no one here could figure it out and know how the fuck to run it.

Including @JiveTurkey !!!!

Have you seen what the BigSky MX goes for? I don't think this will be cheaper...

Direct competitors for this are the Hx Fx and Plethora X5 though, both of those are around 600$ iirc.

If we take the big sky mx as a price reference an axe fx should cost 187,000$ then!

Cliff, will this have identical foot switch programability as the FC’s? Will it have traditional effects blocks with channels, or singular effects on the grid?

I envision a smaller, lighter pedalboard with my IR-X (or the IR-J when that releases) and the VP4. Cliff, you sonofabitch, I'm in.

I already have a stomp XL, and only use like 4 or 5 effects, so, not for me, but I do wonder, what the block/DSP limit is, does it have EVERY effect they offer, footswitching options, etc.

And you think it'll be priced <= HX Effects? I just don't think so... but hey I hope you're right!

Definitely not the Plethora, since it has a plethora of bleh tones.

 

[Hapless]

I already have a stomp

Yeah, me too. But this is new and shiny.

Analog up front, digital in the loop

This is the way

Actually I'll defend the TC effects there. They're very good. Particularly the delays.

 

[the swede]

Its…. Sexy! For real… that metal texture there

 

[Orvillain]

Someone made this....

 

[JiveTurkey]

Doakes got the shaft!

All will be revealed next week.

It does have channels and scenes and presets, etc. but in a simplified approach. It's primary application is live performance and the UI was designed with that in mind.

It sounds very good. It has the analog path from the Axe-Fx III (which evolved from the FX-8). Beta testers report that it "plays nicely" with difficult fx loops.

I, personally, would release the manual but Matt would probably kill me.

Here's a teaser:
