Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Orvillain]

All that gapless switching and spillover stuff makes total sense now doesn't it!

Since it’s not been said yet: GAME CHANGER.

Dude seems likable. Just cite your sources correctly!

Also maybe log in and join the chat @SteveNeedsToMakeAnAccountSterlacci
We're pretty welcoming around these here parts.

Leave any youtube drama at the door on the way in though.

I dropped a link to this thread in the comments and corrected who had the scoop first!

Edit- Only for it to be deleted. Interesting.

Whoever was asking about Fractal Drive quality, when I would A/B my TS9 & BBPre pedals with the FX8's equivalent drive blocks I could not tell a difference.

Cool to see my guesses were largely correct!

Interested to see the price and how it fits into people's boards.

Four blocks is definitely less than expected, but likely workable with analog drive pedals.

I'm in the mindset of this replacing a tuner (to conserve board space), and then all modulation, delay and verb pedals in one form factor. Of course, it could serve other purposes.

I wouldn't use more than four at once and having gapless spillover to other presets means for my use case it should be definitely doable. It could in theory reduce my pedalboard down to a wah, one or two fuzzes and the VP4.

So, who exactly is this for? I'm thinking on a board with a capture pedal or IR-X and the like?

Also people like me using a valve amp and traditional pedalboard.

Without Analog Dry Through, how could you incorporate the VP4 with a Parallel Mixer to avoid Phasing in a W/D/W rig where Center Dry is 100% analog?

Lots of use cases. People with real amps with effects loops, people who like analog drive pedals but need digital effects, people with Tonex or IR-X or Nano, etc.

People like me. Look at this cluster F. I could theoretically replace the 2290P, SDE-3000, UAFX Golden and MicroPitch.

Is TB3 actually Steve Sterlacci?????

Yes, but aren't there (probably cheaper, and more flexible), multi effects units already on the market for that? You would still need to add a dedicated wah pedal, a compressor if you use one, and a tuner, with this piece.

Sterlacci getting the launch location wrong

You gonna start an official VP4 thread now so we can retire this one, JT?

Could add this stuff as it comes in as well as a summary of what we know already.

Or perhaps I should... but we know how that turned out last time
