Helix Stadium Desktop and AxeFx IV Desktop

Desktop only units are probably too niche. You need a separate controller for live use and it doesn't fit into a rack for studio use. You need a really good onboard UI which takes space and costs money. I just can't see it being nearly as profitable as either a pedalboard, floor board, or rack unit.
I feel like this is where everyone seem to miss the point. The idea is this could serve as a desktop, amp top and rack mounted solution if well designed. Mounted on a rack shelf it should only take 1 or 2 rack spaces, but it wouldn’t be limited to a tiny screen because the main screen and controls would be on the top and accessible with the shelf slid open. Add a foot controller like Fractal’s FC6 or FC12 and you have a unit that could be used anywhere while being more compact and flexible than standard rack gear.
