im the 23rd and I too totally underestimated the shipping announcements and impact on waitlist groups...
Agreed. I definitely didn't expect this much of a stall.

Fellow Torontonian here, also Feb 22nd on the waitlist! I have become completely obsessed with checking my email and this waitlist thread, here's hoping the invite happens soon, I can't take anymore of this!I'm February 22nd. I'll be sure to post here as soon as I get my invite. Hopefully that'll give you a better idea of when to expect yours! I was also hoping for last week, then this week, but I guess we underestimated the shipping announcement's impact on waitlist signups...
they already have a mark ii on the 3, so what--we get the fm3 and 3 months later there's an fm3 plus (and it's made in america too)?
Do you mean 3 years later? The FX III has been out for quite a while.
Have tried it, not worth it. The wait will be worth it for sure.I am seriously contemplating the Helix. This waiting is stupid.
Totally evaluate your options for the tones and use cases you want. My ~2005 Line 6 modeling amp had a ton of sizzle on the high-gain models, and Youtube seems to convey that they're still pretty sizzly. I'm glad I waited because Fractal's high-gain models sound incredible, but it's easy to say that on the other side of the wait. You could distract yourself in the meantime by shooting out some plugin options and weighing those against a Fractal investment (if you haven't already) - that helped pass the time semi-constructively for me.I am seriously contemplating the Helix.

I was happy, at least we were getting regular updates as to where they are on the waitlist. We have been stuck here forever it seems. I am April 13 2020. Was looking good for a while. Now, not so much..........Have tried it, not worth it. The wait will be worth it for sure.
if we can get an update from M@ that will be awesome!
Thanks Cangus! Ill wait, in the meantime I am using a version of Amplitube 4.........How sad am I?Totally evaluate your options for the tones and use cases you want.

You have to hate L&M for that... there is a nice tele I am eyeing but I am going to hold outI got on the list August 8th. I was hoping they would keep the pace of 2 months of waitlist/week we had recently seen. I know there was likely to be a little bit of a spike in February when they announced shipping, but I didn't think it would be this much.
Now my problem is that Long & Mcquade is having their annual "jack's bargain attic sale" and there's a couple things I have my eye on that may use up my FM3 money that I have put aside if the price is good enough. At this rate though, I may have another 6+ months to save up again for an FM3 fund.
Sorry...been out of pocket.What Firmware did you notice was on it ?
1.05...new to this.What Firmware did you notice was on it ?

I need to update...does the update help with audio lag when switching settings with footswitch?Mine also arrived yesterday with firmware version 1.05, so I updated it first thing. I'm new to the Fractal party, but this thing sounds incredible to me.
Define "audio lag." If you're changing presets using footswitches that have a hold function, the switch won't engage until you release it.I am concerned...there is an audio lag between the presets...I’m hoping a firmware update fixes this delay. Sounds great through my studio monitors
