[FractalAudio]

People have been asking.
$1399
Waiting list opens this week.
Units should start shipping before end of month.
Let the wild speculation and armchair CEO stuff commence!!!

 

[Scented Meat]

Here's my 2 cents: I will buy one.

Now when can we get a peek at the manual?

 

[BK!]

Thank you Jesus! That's a great value Cliff! Can't wait to read all about it.

 

[pauliusmm]

When in Europe?

 

[djlynch]

Thats a very good price! Going to sell like Hotcakes!

 

[GibsonLesPaul]

Wow!
I don't need one since I own a Axe-FxII

But I love it that the name Fractal will be spread under guitarists because of this unit with that price.
Me thinks that every guitarist should have try it once. And it's sure in their league if someone wants a serious good sound.

(Cliff, pls make the form server Quantum also, he sure will need it after this

 

[jbis]

Oh my... I'll take two!

The forum server upgrade is already underway. We will be migrating to a Xenforo-based forum running on dual servers.

Unbelievable good price.

 

[john_p]

Great news - that's the right price for me. Now we just need them to arrive in Europe asap

 

[ElectricPhase]

Those are gonna sell like crazy. I'm gettin' one for sure!

 

[chucma]

That is a lot lower than I expected! Very good deal indeed! But I'm keeping my Axe-Fx XL the wife will be pleased to know!

 

[LoPaN]

Boom headshot Helix lol

 

[Fenderbendr]

Wow, thinking about canceling my Helix pre order and getting this.

How many effects can you run at a time?

 

[ZenRigs Man]

Fantastic price - I don't even need one but find myself wanting one! Congrats Cliff and Co - I have no doubt you have a monster hit on your hands

 

[wcfieldskx]

Interesting. So is the FX-8 going to remain at $1349?

 

[FractalAudio]

Wow, thinking about canceling my Helix pre order and getting this.

How many effects can you run at a time?

Depends on the effects but typically 8-10 in addition to amp and cab. The amp and cab block use very little of the main DSP. The amp runs in a dedicated DSP and the cab processing runs in an accelerator. Therefore most of the main DSP is available for effects.

 

[Slammin Mofo]

I'm sorry, but this is just a brutal price point - 100 $ less than the Line 6 Helix, with the same quality effects and amps as the Axe FX 2? I guess Fractal is in for the kill!

 

[yek]

What's an accelerator?

 

[pauliusmm]

So this accelerator thing is different from AXE FX II? New technology?
