Fractal Audio Systems VP4 - Virtual Pedalboard

[yek]

The VP4 is an amazing pedal, tremendous quality and value for money.
Light and very portable and an enormous inventory of effects. I don't even know how to use four Stereo Enhancers in a row ...
The simplified workflow is snappy, works out well and probably continues to evolve.

Disclaimer: I'm a beta tester for Fractal Audio.

I almost ordered a VP4 during the sale but I threw in a shirt and the system wanted to charge me $25+ extra for shipping that additional shirt - yeah that left me so annoyed I didn't go through with the purchase.

So you balked on a VP4 over a T-shirt... Why not just skip the t-shirt?!

over the shipping fee for a t-shirt

Ok. But you wanted the VP4 more than the shirt I'm guessing.
You could have calmed down and just got the VP4. Sorry, just trying to play this scenario out in my head. It's all good.

 

[AlbertA]

Didn’t say it was rational haha

If it was the t-shirt with the alien, I'd say bullet dodged

You let a t-shirt shipping price win over an awesome piece of gear and sale!

Best hide your head in shame!

Nah fuck that. Get of the box and embrace the irrational. I'd have done the same tbh. $25 extra to ship a t-shirt on top of the $700 you were already spending is a bit rough.

You'll go back and order a VP4 when you're ready. No need for any shame.

It’s all in good fun. I’ll be back when next gen products get released.

Hmmm, it shouldn't do that. We've been having problems with our eCommerce platform. It's *supposed* to be smart enough to remove the shipping in cases like that.

This is one of these reasons we're moving to Shopify soon. There's another reason that I can't talk about but it's a pretty big deal.

I love when Fractal has something - anything - that is "a pretty big deal"!

Good to know!

are we sharing predictions? international shipping? does shopify make it easier to buy or sell digital content - maybe something new in that direction?

honestly if shopify can handle preorders / waitlists, then yeah, that probably would be a boon.

Yeah I imagine if Shopify could automatically handle a wait-list it would be much easier to use than what FAS currently uses (email us to get on the list)

Even if that isn't what the announcement (the IV) it may still be beneficial when it does come

Quick question about Gig Mode:

If I'm trying to switch to Scenes from Preset mode, when I press switches 1+2 together and get the screen that shows the flashing "Presets-Scenes-Effects-Tuner "options, it only shows those flashing options for a split second and then defaults back to the preset I am on, with no time to select anything. However, if I then press 1+2 a second time, the flashing options will keep flashing until I select one of the options.

Is this normal? It's barely enough time to select Scenes before it quickly goes back to the preset and is super annoying at gigs.

Thanks.
