My guess is Fractal's version of Iridium, which would be really cool.
Not sure anything else suggested would be as interesting.

The answer is the reason why I stick with modelling instead of captures.Now that I have heard the difference, what would be the difference in having 300 Fractal amp models at your disposal or having 300 amps that were captured at your disposal?

I have used and bought both tech. Out of the 300 captures, I will only like 3 (maybe). All the other captures will be disregarded because I won't like how they have been captured, and their fundamental sound cannot be altered, even with EQ. It is rigid. Maybe you are lucky and will find captures that works for you. I rarely did.
My thought process on this was more serious than some of my tongue in cheek posts. I was thinking if there is a product that may also work in conjunction with one of the fractal products maybe both would need some firmware tweaks the current product and the new product. For instance if it were a desk top type of controller. It was just a thought.Zero
A peripheral controller to control Axe Edit which is still controlling the hardware Axe FX. This is funny, but I could actually see it’s use!I’m still hoping for some kind of knob/button controller for the desk top.
Small format is absolutely possible but waffles is not commonly used in the ML world and wasn’t Cliffs joke. You don’t need to build a capture product to make a slimmed down pedal board Fractal.That's what I thought but Waffles being a real thing, maybe not? It's not that I think Fractal needs to do amp capturing at all. I have never owned an amp ever so I don't really care about that because all I know is Modeling gear but not going to lie, After this last NAMM Show and playing both the Kemper Player and the Tonex I can totally see the reason for it. I loved the Tonex so much I bought one! I have tried Tonex amp captures with same Fractal amp model version and I always like the Tonex version more?? I never thought I would say anything like that but for me it sounds more natural and raw? I started with an Ultra and now using FM9 but again there really is a difference when playing through a captured amp? I know it's subjective but I notice the difference more than I thought I would. Now that I have heard the difference, what would be the difference in having 300 Fractal amp models at your disposal or having 300 amps that were captured at your disposal? Now that I have heard difference, I would rather have captured amps more than modeled amps? Just an observation? And I'm not bashing on Fractal at all I've using Fractal for years. Here in my City I have only seen 4 guitar players including me using a fractal product live? Every body else playing is using Tonex, Kemper Player, or the Fiedman IRX-IRD. Im always asking what they think and why and hands down number one reason is they don't have to go through deep menu dives or pages of things to make small changes and just reach down turn a knob and your done and number 2 they are smaller and can use a smaller pedalboard? I am most likely wrong but if this ever happens I will jump at getting a Fractal pedal that you can download amp captures without hesitation?
Personally, the amp+cab stomp box option's appeal is that I love my pedalboard already and would love to simply incorporate Fractal's amp modeling in there without the size of an FM3. That lets you play silently with headphones (assuming a headphone jack is in the unit or you already have another headphone solution like an audio interface), run through an FRFR, or turn off the cab/power amp modeling and plug into the FX Return of an amp to get the preamp modeling.I don't understand why a pedal format with amp and cab block would be desirable? Presumably you'd be using such a product with a combo or a cab and head.
Wouldn't the inherent cab and amp color the tone enough to defeat the purpose of the modeling FAS has developed?
Asking out of living room Axe Fx-III + FRFR player ignorance.
Why? Guitar is no different than any other mic'd or recorded instrument i.e. it can be monitored with studio monitors or headphones.Presumably you'd be using such a product with a combo or a cab and head.
A lot of people still like their pedals and have incorporated pedalboard-friendly amp sims like the UA units, Iridium, etc, so they can run direct with their pedalboard without lugging around a separate amp or large amp modeler.I don't understand why a pedal format with amp and cab block would be desirable?
Given the ire that a different manufacturer recently drew for releasing a product without a screen, I’m not sure we’ll see that.FM6 same size as the FM3 without the screen and as powerful as an FM9.
