Does anyone else find it interesting they're even doing a product specifically meant for guys who don't use amp modelling? I mean, from a brand positioning POV?
Maybe it's just me, but I've always mentally equated Fractal to Amp Modelling. The FX are great, but the REAL story has always been the Amp block. The first legit, no-compromise digital box that can 'really' replace tube amps, even for top pros, producers and the most demanding amp-tone cork-sniffers of the world. It seems like Fractal has been on a mission to win over the anti-digital tube superiority mindset from day one, and they have succeeded - big time. It's even being called 'historic'.
Now they turn around and release the FX8, a product that says " Hey, we know that amp modelling is still not good enough for a lot of you, so here's an FX-only product we hope you'll like."
I know this unit has it's place and will sell tons, but I find it interesting. Just discussion fodder really. Maybe I shoulda been a marketing guy...
pretty ridiculous notion there, dude. opening up your business to another market segment is just smart business, period. it's not an admission of inadequacy of the modeling.
