Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[James Freeman]

Only four... are they fantastic?

 

[the swede]

Are you picking one up?

Surely he doesn’t have 30 basses so he might yeah…

 

[Blix]

Only four... are they fantastic?

Yes, the Fantastic Four!

Grey day! Hedge is showing off though. Bragging with its autumn colors.

Vp4 vs.

Tim... Seriously!?

Strat + Fender Combo = Discardable opinion.

Strat + Fender Combo = Discardable opinion.

Strat + fuzz face + delay + Fender combo at righteous volume = connoisseur












Or dad blues. I often get confused with that one..... It's dad blues isn't it? Fuck

Its like when you try to be ”modern” and hang with the kids, then you realize that the effects and amp chain you just put together is dad rock/blues…. Damn….

I wonder how VP4 would compare to these:

Their rotary is far superior

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Their rotary is far superior

And it cleans up nicely!

It's quite possible we could add more blocks in future firmware. I can envision, say, four switchable blocks and two fixed blocks per preset. The fixed blocks are always on. The switchable blocks can be bypassed/engaged. Or four fixed blocks and four switchable blocks.

Maybe use a 'view' button to shift the focus between effects 1-4 and effects 2-6, to allow all to effects to be engaged/bypassed?

7 if they allow two adjacent switches at once (I think they could?).
They could sell a shoe addon for people with narrow feet

10 if you are Bigfoot or turn your feet (+2x 3 at once + 1x 4 at once)

VB10OMG Sasquatch mode.

“$50 more…” Don’t I wish LOL.

Yeah but don't forget its "sheet"

 

[paisleywookiee]

Don't. You. Fucking. Dare.

Citations issued? Closed for…..review?

At the end of the day I feel "bad" for Cliff and their team. To put work in on a product and just hear how bad it is before it's even announced must be rough.

Guess it can go for any new product these days to be honest. Not sure what people expect anymore

People are entitled little c@#$ these days. If it’s not exactly what THEY want, then it shouldn’t exist at all.

I’m imagining an Amp/Cab only box, similar in footprint to the VP-4 that could integrate with the VP-4 digitally using the S/PDIF, essentially expanding the VP-4 into an eight footswitch Amp Modeler/Effects Processor.

Why exactly would you go for that instead of an FM9?

 

[Sascha Franck]

Kids snail… Sheldon, saying hi.

You need to work on your posing-with-snails skills, though.

 

[norminal]

Why exactly would you go for that instead of an FM9?

Think about it though. If you just want amps and cabs, get that. If you decide later that you want effects and expanded functionality, add the VP-4, or vice versa.
