I have not been on the forum as much lately so I may have missed future project ideas. For what it might be worth, I wanted to throw out feelers. I have loved my AX8 immensely. I started with Fractal with the Ultra, loved it, but loved the simplicity and portability and improvements of the AX8 even more and have been using it since it came out. I need one simple floor device with several buttons. When I saw the AX8 was being abandoned and the FM3 was the new thing, I was not too tempted as I like the simplicity of easy access to 8 buttons to control effects. I am not smart or talented enough to dance and navigate the FM3 in a live situation.
After I saw the AX8 abandoned I bought a Helix for a short time. I returned it because It did not have as good of tone as my AX8. I considered the Quad Cortex but the build looks less rugged as the AX8. But now I see Fractal is still improving tones for their newer models with better software upgrades, and I am feeling I am missing out. However, I am not willing to add on an FC-12 or FC-6 making moving around and set up more complicated.
All that to say, I think you are a genius, I have loved the products I have purchased, have loved the forum, and wondering if a powerful all-in-one floor model with more footswitches than the FM3 is in the works? I would buy one in a heartbeat. I loved the layout of the HELIX with the expression pedal all-in-one. Maybe others don't, that is fine. So, for what it is worth, I am a happy customer hoping you may be working on something like this in the future - a powerful all-in-one floor unit with an expression pedal and with at least as many foot switches as the AX8. For the record, I have never had one issue with my AX8 - built like a tank! I just want the newer firmware updates which my AX8 cannot contain .........
cheers!
