Fractal Audio Systems VP4 - Virtual Pedalboard

Fractal doesn't get gritty or filtered enough really. I've experimented a lot, and my one observation with delays is that Fractal is nearly always far cleaner than Helix and others.

Yeah they excel more at pristine studio type effects.

I’d love for them to take interest in some of the glitch and grain type effects that are sort of popular. They’d probably come up with a far more usable take on it.

Thanks! Ah the ups and downs of the gear humpin' life... :rofl

Yeah, I didn't love that warranty interaction, to be honest, as it's kind of a known issue, what with a thread in their forum about it + pics that look the same as my busted jack. However, I get it and am thankful they're fixing it and shipping it back at no charge (though I'm still out the $50+ it cost to ship it there).

But overall it's mostly soured me on Fractal products, in that I now see what a pain it will be in the future if I have problems that require repairs/returns, vs the ease of just dropping something off at the store where I bought it in town. And being that I'm still an amp guy and don't use modeling anyway (and love L6 effects) maybe I'll just stick with stuff I can get (and return) in a local store.

The VP4 is still a killer product though, and I was hoping Fractal would release something like it for years, so I don't wanna be a downer in the thread here. I did really enjoy it while I had it.

So my VP4 needing the midi jack repaired has been stuck at FedEx/Customs for over two weeks now... some kind of clearance delay and I can't get any info from FedEx. :brick
