Love the AX4 concept and looking at other offerings, there's room for improvement other than the amp models and all that discussion regarding amps, IRs, FX, tone. I'm a Fractal guy.
My AX8 is the best pedal I have ever owned and yeah, it would be great to have a small footprint "AX4" but with a large screen?
My thinking....It would be a nightmare for someone to have a Helix or Headrush or future AX4 stomp that works perfectly well but the screen is mucked up or touch doesn't work for some reason.
How about something the size of the Fly Rig 5? No screen and tiny footprint but packing the capability of Fractal amps & FX.
Toss in a wifi chip and run a simple HTML 5 interface so even a cheap Amazon tablet can run it. The remote connection can even update firmware. I see ridiculously powerful System on a Chip CPUs with 8 cores, GPU, ultra low power.
Add the I/O for expression and XLRs for good measure. I see myself using my FracPad software most of the time now and love having an iPad controlling my AX8 mounted chest level on my mic stand.
Pinch me.
