Yup. That's why I quietly backed out of the room when I first looked into fractal. It's stupid but it put me off them for quite a while.
I'm quite happy to admit I was completely wrong.

As much of a weapon as I can be, I've never really done the fanboi/ultra defensive thing. Ultimately when it comes to it, the listener of your music doesn't know or give a shit about what gear you've used. They just care about the final product.
I think there is probably a correllation between the people who get defensive about their gear choices, and the people whose music has very little to say.

The VP4 has already landed here in Bangkok. They only have one unit, but hopefully they will let me sniff it tomorrow morning. I bought my Fender FR-12 and other gear from them.
The price is 26,900 THB (around 808USD. Right now the Thai Baht is very high)
More fresh pictures at their site.

I was wondering the same thing last night. The stomp is listed as using a lot more power than it does so I'm hoping two 500ma outputs will cover it.

And this
I like that it’s “inverted” or how to say it… you place it where the outlet. What I don’t like about it is that when i cut the hedge… i managed to cut the cable a few times. A few times was enough to convert to battery hedge cutter….
I do my best to contribute to the thread

My wife did that with our hedge trimmer twice and lawn mower once. I kept coming home from work and she'd say "it was a nice day, I thought it'd be a nice surprise. I had an accident though but yay I'm not dead"

Fwiw, defenitely nothing for me. Lacks some features to suit as the backend of my (DI, FR) pedalboard, such as a dedicated balanced out with an assignable global EQ, 4 FX blocks are not enough at all (even if there's channels for each) and as there seems to be no gobal blocks functionality, patch switching also can't compensate for it.
Possibly a great device for folks needing high end modulation and spatial FX on their boards, though (personally, I don't need that, either, I'm fine with, say, HX or Boss quality for all things delay/reverb). For 4CM operation, I find this to be pretty limited (add to this there's no amp switching outs, which IMO may have added quite some value).
Completely irrelevant, but I'm actually a bit surprised about the look. At least the case looks pretty Boss-ish.

Yeah, maybe a tad less... FM3 is currently 1435€ with Italian 22% VAT, so should be around 850€/800£
I went through the 70+ Axe-Fx presets that I created for specific songs. Conclusion: 4 effects pretty much suffice, for most of them.
Exceptions fall in the ‘special’ category where multiple effects are being used, eg. to construct an organ simulation, for custom synth sounds, extensive parallel chains, special effects etc.
If the posted effects list is correct, the Multiplexer is not included. This means having to use other tricks to switch an expression pedal between multiple uses within a single preset.
