Fractal Fanatic
I'm not starting this thread to bash FAS or G66 but because I want to understand, there's something I really don't get.
First a few examples:
Strymon timeline: US list price 449$ - EU 449€
Eventide timefactor: US 499$ - EU 475€
Line 6 helix: US 1499$ - EU 1469€
Fractal FX8: US 1349$ - EU 1600€
As you can see other brands offer here in europe a price that's roughly based on the USD-EUR exchange rate, while fractal's prices are charged by customs and VAT taxes that normally apply when you import from overseas. What I don't get is why those other companies seem to be immune from those taxes? Did they find a way to not pay them? Or do they effectively sell their products at a lower price over here?
