Posted this on TGF, too, but here’s my mockup of Andy Wood’s pedalboard based on my memory of what he described in the video with Lee Anderton. The image from earlier in the thread does make it look like the new thing is FM3-ish in size, probably slightly smaller. Also, more chances it’s an FX-only thing because if it isn’t, it’ll kinda render the FM3 redundant; or it could be the first of a new genereation of floor modelers which I feel is a bit unlikely.

It looks like a new smaller FX8 with 4 foot switches and a display plus knobs in the middle :(

Just compare:

That approach makes sense ... especially for foot switches ... and to a lesser extent for knobs and buttons. Display is always going to be separate (including scribble strips).

Ironically, the gut shot above of the FM3 shows the USB socket mounted directly on the main board unless I'm hugely mistaken.

Yeah, the USB B thing is on the FCs, now that I think about it.
 
Patience grasshoppers. Delivering new product is a huge undertaking.

Development, coding, testing, logistics, shipping, parts, inventory, supply chain, training support staff, QA and dropping a few from the roof, marketing, NDAs and reviews with artists, manuals, updating website and shop... etc... etc..

Have they hired new staff? If the product is very different it could take cycles away from development and support of the existing gear.

Quite happy to keep speculating and wait for the cake to be fully baked before they let us peek behind the curtain.

Possibly it has no display and just LEDs for quick settings, Clean, Vintage, Hardrock, Metal. Could also be a kind of
"Line6 Pod Express". An entry level FAS device.
 
It’s a secret until Halloween when they realize the pumpkin orange FxX pedal with spooky graphics because we all know those graphics are the most important and the presets will all be set up for spooky Halloween sounds! Bwahahahahha
 
whatever it is...if it is indeed a smaller form factor. I think that would widen the customer base to bring in new people over to Fractal...certainly a great way for new customers to get their feet wet in the Fractal eco system.
