@Jipps0525 just a guess. honestly I play my real Slo30 and Bogner Helios all the time, so I'm not that worried about it.
Worth noting that on the Fractal site FM9 says Now Shipping to waitlist while the FM3 says out of stock until an estimated date@Jipps0525 just a guess. honestly I play my real Slo30 and Bogner Helios all the time, so I'm not that worried about it.
Im pretty sure the Fractal site also says FM3 available now without a wait lolWorth noting that on the Fractal site FM9 says Now Shipping to waitlist while the FM3 says out of stock until an estimated date
Check again. I paraphrased what the site saysIm pretty sure the Fractal site also says FM3 available now without a wait lol
And yet lol you are correct that it says waitlist when you click on it but not on the bannersCheck again. I paraphrased what the site says
FM3: "Out of Stock until Mid-September"
FM9: "Now shipping to customers on a waitlist in the USA/Canada. See below for information on how to be notified when an FM9 is available for you."
I keep seeing people say it won't be until next year for those within the 5 hour mark even. Not sure where they get there info but they seem convinced, hope they are wrong lolI got my waitlist reply email on 8/27 at 1:25 Eastern Standard time.... Am I reading correctly that it means I am around 25 mins after the official announcement went live?
Watching…… I’m an hour after youI got my waitlist reply email on 8/27 at 1:25 Eastern Standard time.... Am I reading correctly that it means I am around 25 mins after the official announcement went live?
The way it worked for the FM3 is the link was good until they ran out of stock. I'm not sure if they will follow that same practice. Here is a quote from the FM3 invitation email I received back in 2020.Hey guys, does anyone know how much time you got to make the purchase once you get the invite until you loose your right to purchase?
"Forced"? Uh, no, you might decide to but nobody is going to force you to. We're not heartless beasts who'd force anyone to do that.I'll be forced to get a QC
Premature actions often have dire repercussions.Now I can't even buy back the FM3 I prematurely sold 2 days ago.
That's what she said.Premature actions often have dire repercussions.

aren't there a million used ones in the classifieds? reverb..etc..Now I can't even buy back the FM3 I prematurely sold 2 days ago.
I think they are basing it on experience with wait times for the FM3. I joined the FM3 waitlist a week or so after it was announced and it took well over a year to ship. That was a long wait! But anything you hear from anyone at this point is pure speculation. Nobody except for Fractal Audio themselves know how long things are going to take. And even at that they can't predict component availability and shortages once they clear out their existing stock. All I can say is hopefully it doesn't take nearly as long as the FM3 did!I keep seeing people say it won't be until next year for those within the 5 hour mark even. Not sure where they get there info but they seem convinced, hope they are wrong lol
