Fractal Audio Systems VP4 - Virtual Pedalboard

Damn I didn’t know that existed… Storing that away for future shenanigans planning…

Hit me up if you end up needing one. I have three lol.

I know a few folks swear by these. Ever considered something similar?

https://www.suhr.com/product/micro-midi-control/

I took note of those a while ago and saved the link for future consideration.

The only reason I haven't gotten one is that one of the reasons I went with Fractal is that I wanted to have everything in one box without any additional interconnecting cables and the Suhr MIDI control would be yet another thing to bring,

Sadly, these days I don't spend enough time playing through my 100 watt heads to remind me of considering that option. I'm pretty much exclusively playing through my FM9 and Archangel V3 Fender FR monitors.

It’s difficult to make sense of the various electronic notices. They’ve all said something different. I’m waiting to go and ask in person, once it arrives back. So frustrating and annoying.

Also imagine I’m going to have to pay another $50+ to try and ship it again…

Should maybe save this for a “FedEx sucks thread”, however, it’s useful for potential buyers to know some of the ramifications of not having an international dealer/repair network.

Latest update: I brought the returned VP4 package to the FedEx location where I had shipped it from. They said it was a problem with Customs but were not able to determine why there was a problem, and referred me to their 1-800 customer service number. I called that number, and the department that answered referred me to a department that only communicates via email. So, I've sent an email and am waiting for a response.

This is now over a month from when I first shipped it.

Sweet.

I just spent a few days deep diving some new sounds and ideas that had been kicking around. Took it to a rehearsal last night and it worked out great.

Looking forward to checking out the new stuff when it makes it to FM9.

VP8 in 2U rack format with analog dry through and I can die happy.

I keep thinking about if a VP4 and mixer would be worth the trouble for my uses.

That's what I'm doing and it works and sounds great but it's added complexity, cables and headache.

Yeah, I have a rack with a mixer and all that. My hope with pedals would be simpler, lol!
