All,
After a new member shows up here, I often get a message like the one I just got:
"Serious gratitude, Fractal, for making this incredible piece of gear that changed my life as a 30+ year guitar player ... All I want to know is how can I help?"
While I personally answer these messages and emails, I thought I'd also post the answer to this most common question, since I am sure there are also many who have wondered but never asked.
The answer is simple. The way that you can help is to continue to SPREAD THE WORD. Word of mouth is the most valuable resource that we can create.
1. Post links, especially on other forums, pages, and sites. (Or re-tell Fractal Forum stories in your own words.) Spread the word about product improvements, new artists, or cool media posted here.
2. Create content. Banish stage-fright or modesty and get on YouTube, SoundCloud, or anywhere else. Then, post it far and wide.
3. Get out there. Talk to people at gigs, jams, music stores, classes, etc. Invite someone to plug their guitar into your rig. Because we don't sell in stores, this is a huge help. Post the story online.
And that's it... more simple than it seems maybe. Spreading the word drives new business, which means more new firmware, better software, new products, etc.
We all play a part. It begins with great products and a commitment to constant improvement, but it is energized by loyal customers who share in our vested interests. And because of that, my answer to the question "How can I help?" always begins with, "THANK YOU. You already have!"
