Tacos, wings, brisket, ribs, steak, burgers

I'll probably get a single or dual recto here pretty soon.
 
To me there's only a couple of products that might get released this year. All the following is pure speculation.
  • Boss "GX-1000".
    • It seems like an obvious product. A further evolved GX-100 UI paired with upgraded GT-1000 capabilities.
  • Fractal "VA4" amp/cab sim.
    • The inclusion of SPDIF I/O on the VP4 and some comments from Fractal point to another product with that form factor. I can't think of what else it could be but an amp/cab sim.
  • Hotone "Ampero 3".
    • I feel like they've stretched the Ampero 2 platform as far as it goes, unless they can optimize and expand the capture capabilities to go against the Mooer GS-1000, and upgrade more amps and fx to "HQ" models.
    • For their business model new hardware seems more sensible.
  • BluGuitar Amp X.
    • Blug has said they'll show it off again later this year, at Guitar Summit held the end of September.
    • I think NAMM 2026 is a more likely release date though.

I think maybe something new from Line6 with an announcement before the summer or maybe June 11th 10th Anniversary of Helix
According to DI if there was a new product it would likely carry the HX tag but not helix 2 or double helix
 
My shot in the wind:
Ndsp..no hardware releases
Kemper: QC/Tmp format pedal, with a “liquid profile concept” for drive captures
Boss: QC/tmp format pedal that includes capturing, maybe nam
L6, same as Boss
Fractal: Small powerfull unit without screen, possibly paid tiers like Kemper did.
Hotone/Mooer/Nux/Others will release even cheaper stuff..and challenge the market on price.
