Effects only unit would be a confession that amp-cab blocks aren’t the best in market.
Can you explain your logic? I would imagine if they were to release an effects only unit, it would simply be recognition that not everyone wants to use amp and cab blocks.Effects only unit would be a confession that amp-cab blocks aren’t the best in market.
Yup. There are players still using their FX8s.Can you explain your logic? I would imagine if they were to release an effects only unit, it would simply be recognition that not everyone wants to use amp and cab blocks.
Agreed. Though, when this "debate" about whatever new thing Fractal might release started, I didn't think it would be a small limited feature pedal, I still think the idea is bang on.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.
Something the size of an HX Stomp or smaller would be an immediate purchase for me. I really like Fractal's effects, but the main draw of the FM3 for my rig was the amp modeling.
