Why no "High End" Behringer Modeler ...... seriously ?

[pipelineaudio]

That's like saying that both the McLarin ultimate series hypercars and the Ford Escort have wheels and just adding an Hypercar engine to the Escort would make it a hyper car as well .

No it really isn't Behringer has several lines of products with DSP, some of it world leading, like TC Electronic

The FCB1010 has virtually NOTHING in common with a Kemper, AxeIII Fx, or any modern digital amp. They both have a PCB and foot switches.... that's about it.

Yes, a footswitch is a footswitch, not a modeler. You are correct.

I do believe they would go about it by buying a company first though. That is their MO.

They already have TC

Now, the FCB1010 enclosure was pretty decent. I actually ran over mine with my old 2000 TransAm. Only had to fix one switch that got sticky from the episode. Pretty tough pedal.

Using two FCB1010's as wheel chocks ?

I wish they would have acquired Atomic.

That'd actually be a cool idea. I mean, Atomic is worthless. Maybe even less than that. But some of their code is just great.

When Zoom went "high end" with the Zoom G11, everyone screamed that it was overpriced and underfeatured. They said, "get back to what you know, cheap nonsense pedals".

I can only imagine how a "high end" Behringer modeler would be received. Everyone would be on a crusade to prove how worthless it was.

I haven’t had anything from Zoom since my Zoom 2020 in the mid (?) nineties. I’d be surprised if I’ll ever have anything from Zoom again.

Defenitely not me. But as I can't imagine them to come up with something different, it'd likely not be for me anyway. Simply because I've got plenty of "not something different" units already.
They could however as well have the ressources to come up with, say, a NAM based modeler. That could save them all amp/dirt development efforts (the unit obviously had to be pre-loaded with very carefully selected captures to deliver instant gratification) and it'd be a very interesting thing for many people. Or even just an amp/dirt only NAM and IR loading pedal, kinda like the Boss IR-200. Make sure latency is very low, offer it for 200 and it'd sell like hot cakes.

If I was Uli Behringer, I would wait for the Helix2 to release, then I would copy the design and sell it at 2/3rds the price. That seems to be how they operate.

Get ready for the Felix Rack, Felix Floor, and Felix LT. To be followed next year by the FX Effects, FX Stomp, and FX Stomp XL.

Since this post, I suspect that if Line 6 were still a small independent company (that hadn't already won a "POD" trademark suit from Apple), they might just straight up call it "HELIX" and counter any dissent with threats from their army of bloodsucking lawyers.

Be honest. Your parent company is even bigger and has even more lawyers.

Which is why they might call it "Felix" instead, although their Felix would more likely be their name for a shameless "clone" of Grace's acoustic preamp.

You really think that'd be as trivial?

You've got a tiny company like Ampero who made an HX stomp copy but gave it a touchscreen. I think Behringer could manage.

Two minutes of brainstorming, the best I came up with was "DNA FX". Pays homage to L6 and Fractal.

Well, we can instantly stop this discussion if you really think the Ampero is a Stomp copy.

Yeah they’re shameless, with the Centaur and the fuzz pedal that ripped the Keeley name.

And if Behringer made a World Class Modeler unit, the butt hurt from gear snobs would be off the charts ..... kind of like running naked, backwards thru a corn field.

I could hear them turds a crying !!!!
