Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Deleted member 490]

Why does the footswitch that's furthest away look so much larger than the others?
And why do the knobs look like there's 3 different sizes of them?

Because the power inlet is on that side.

$899 for effects only? For $200 more you get everything minus one footswtich.

We're better than this

Don't listen to the person who said $899

Have you tried adding an external, non-FAS footswitch to an FM wtever?
"Select the correct RING/SLEVVE/TIP/SLEEVE/TIP setting in I/O and custom offsets in per preset menu then hit enter 4 times to shunt the modifiers backspace three times and then connect TRS plus 4 adapters in reverse order while holding the exit button."

The value knob is likely the tall knob that sits seperately off to one side of the grouped knobs under the screen. They've probably slimmed it down for this smaller form factor.

I dont know what the Value knob does anyway, so if it’s gone

It doesn't have the grip handles that the FM3 has either.

THIS is an upgrade x 1000.

It adds VALUE !

Neither does my 2nd cousin Sally Mae. What's your point?

Maybe this one is a bit clearer

It adds _VALUE_

To what, we have no idea

I think those were there to add stiffness for the screen cutout, suggesting maybe it isn't the same screen?

Rough size estimation based on this pic: 20x16 cm

I see a small lit screen down by the footswitches but the larger reflective area on the upper section is dark.

At this point those Neural tease videos were a heck of a lot more fun that all this B.S. photo analytics...
