Fractal Fanatic
What are your needs and how do you wish to use it?

Seems about the same.Except probably more buyers this time?
Thanks for the question! Apologies in advance if this is the wrong thread for this conversation, I know people here are primarily interested in the waitlist times. I'm the lead guitar in a band that plays a reasonably wide variety of rock covers from various decades, as well as a few originals. We play out probably once or twice a month, with a good number of acoustic duo gigs thrown in for good measure, probably more of those than with the full band actually. Currently I'm running a Strat into an Egnater Renegade 2x12, with a pedalboard that has a few things before the amp, and a few things in the FX loop. I take the pedalboard to both acoustic and full band gigs, but the Egnater only comes out when the band is playing. On acoustic gigs I play a Taylor into a ToneBone PZ-Pre, with the same pedals attached to the PZ-Pre before and in the FX loop, then the PZ-Pre direct into the Mixer.
The band practices in my basement with the guitar amps miked up at pretty low volumes, our drummer playing on an electric kit, and all of us listening through headphones on a 24.4.2 Presonus Mixer. A couple of kids under 5 asleep limits the volume levels ;-). At first the Axe FX would most likely be primarily used for these practices, as well as for new color palettes when writing/recording originals. I'm also kinda excited about the prospect of trying to get guitar tones really close to the original tones used on the songs we're covering. If I had some success there it would be pretty tough not to then take it out to gigs. I guess at that point I'd have to invest in a decent MIDI controller footswitch as well. Initially I'd probably run it in front of the Egnater (i.e. in the FX Loop Return), and then as my addiction to Fractal grew perhaps eventually I'd think about getting a full FRFR setup.
The pedal board is a relatively recent acquisition, and I suppose I started seriously thinking about the Fractal as my pedal collection started growing, since it would be much more versatile and would essentially replace it. I believe in buying the best that you can afford, hence jumping on the waitlist for the III.
I'd add a link to a gig we played over New Years but I haven't posted 10 times yet so I'm not allowed. If you're bored, you can search for Two Rocks Rye on You Tube. The playlist at Blueprint Brewing Co. is probably a good example of my/our sound
Thanks again!

Thanks again!
Still the deal of the year. Get em while they’re hot.
I'm two minutes away... Really hoping to get my invite today.
It will probably be 2020 before I get my invitation.
