NAMM 2026

A Fractal touque, so customers from the great white north can keep nogins warm in stylish Fractal fashion while taking break from mindless noodling to shovel laneway for better half to exit the garage smoothly paving the way for extreme volume increase and mad solitary riffage.
Heck , I am in the great white north and it’s still snowing I will gladly take a stylish toque w Sherpa
 
I was going for the AM4, and this QC Mini comes out.. I know Fractal's tone, but it has a fixed number of blocks and signal-chain, no pitch block, still needs a computer. QC mini is 400€ more here, not that much more considering the size, touchscreen, connectivity, power, capture, plugin integration etc. Hell, even the FM3 is out of the party.

I would buy a Fractal like this in a heartbeat, SEND HELP

After trying Fractal I could never get back to QC, unless they really stepped up their amp models. For my use case I need modelling, not captures.

Im not totally familar with QC but dont they also have regular Amp models too that are adjustible or are they only just captures for Amps even the factory ones?
 
I’m beginning to think they are messing with us…
I feel like if there was a new product coming it would’ve been today.

Technically no one said that anything was really coming lol.

All that Cliff said was "Don't know about Line 6 but be prepared for a surprise..."
 
Just a speculation…

I can imagine a behemoth crowd of very unhappy people if an AX4 comes out anytime soon with a new firmware/algorithm that doesn’t support this new release of products (AM4,VP4) and if it can support those , of course it’s more powerful bros (ax3,fm3/9 ) “ “should” be able to aswell.

It kind doesn’t make sense to release a new gen of product anytime soon from that perspective.

But then what’s the value proposition of a new gen product if it’s older gen can make the same sound? (Apart from the maybe NAM inclusion and I/O etc)

I’ll assume also whatver the AX4 is going to be in the 2.5-3k range

Not that new gen firmware “should” have to be backwards compatible of course

Happy to be proven wrong.
