I'm here for the engineered toe stuffs....Is there still an electric sex pants option or are we done with that?

He said products (plural), so one could be it or maybe a smaller pedal that does just 1 or 2 blocks ala Hx One. Another one could be an amp/cab pedal since that seems to be the shit these days.
I dunno - they are smaller, but they aren’t built more cheaply. If they were going in the PODGo direction, or releasing smaller boxes with obviously compromised signal path (see HX one), I’d agree.I’m a huge Fractal fan. But, rehashing their products into smaller, cheaper, and dumber stuff isn’t the best thing IMHO. A premium brand should stay focused there. Will be interesting to watch where this all goes.

VP4’s soon was 9 weeksVP4 "soon" equaled about ~4 <-> ~6 weeks
More products "in the pipe" has got to be at least ~9 <-> ~12 months away
OMG, should i..... maybe @paisleywookiee can be more merciful this time!In the last few days I was feeling a void in my soul but couldn't explain why. Then I realized it was due to the departure of our dear old Fractal speculation thread.
It was a good friend that made our days better, but sadly it's not among us anymore.
But just like when your loved pet dies and you swear you'll never get another one, then some time passes and you fall in love again with a fuzzy animated ball...
Here's your new puppy babe!

At first it will look like a stranger, it won't be the same as the old one, but with time you'll learn to love it, just take care of it!
Speculate folks!
As long as people frame it as speculation/wants/desires, and not fact, I don't see a problem.OMG, should i..... maybe @paisleywookiee can be more merciful this time!
Not wanting Fractal to make products makes no sense. All of their products are premium. None of them are "dumber stuff". A simpler, pedal board friendly, FX box fills a pretty good niche in the market.I’m a huge Fractal fan.

NDSP's soon varies between several months, to several years, to never...VP4’s soon was 9 weeks
No one said they shouldn't make products. Some people would just prefer they concentrate on the big stuff...like an Axe I V.Not wanting Fractal to make products makes no sense.

Line6 is generally applauded for having numerous products and price points based off of the Helix.
Ok, so I will use the SWD acronym so we understand each other.As long as people frame it as speculation/wants/desires, and not fact, I don't see a problem.

But given that the Axe Fx III and FM9 are going to be as good as it gets from a hardware perspective for a long time coming, it makes sense for them to spread their wings into other applications while still making products uncompromised in build quality and signal path component/design…if for no other reason than to give them a chance to explore new UI approaches that might inform development of Axe IV.
I'm with you ... up until the blurb about "premium brand". I suspect it's more a matter of degree; I think they could go a little downmarket but not too far.
An amp/cab only device doesn't do it for me, just like an effects only device doesn't do it for me. I also think neither version exploits Fractal's competitive advantage in the combo of stellar amps and effects.
