Reminds me of my experience with the Helix back in 2013 or so. To me, even before the many FAS firmware updates, there was a noticeable difference in tone between the two (I had an AxeFXII at the time). I just didn't gel with the Helix. Plus Helix was much less tweakable, had many fewer amps, and had many fewer firmware updates. I sold the Helix and didn't look back. Not meaning to dis the Helix at all. It works great for some folks and that's cool. It just wasn't best for me.I support your statement. The concept of the Axe Fx is really bulletproof and their demonstrated dedication to utmost quality is still the reason why I keep on using their products.
All their competitors rely on traditional distribution channels, who also have a strong interest in pushing sales. That leads to an overwhelming amount of financially dependent content creators advertising their products. And that’s a pretty flawed situation.
I did eventually order a competitor’s product due to the continuing online praising, but once I started working with it, I immediately knew why I initially ordered the Axe Fx II and III as my main device.
it was mentioned that there my not be a long wait list this time hopefully .but I don't think you can sign up for something not yet releasedCan we get on the waitlst for the new product?
Maybe we should make more music instead of talking about devices.
By the way, take a look. Larry Mitchell live with my good buddy Thomas Blug.
If time permits, I'll have breakfast with them tomorrow.
I know that everything FAS makes is good, but isn’t it a bit odd to get on a waitlist for a product that you don’t even know what it really is yet.Can we get on the waitlst for the new product?

Shows the track record they have for making amazing gear, methinks....I know that everything FAS makes is good, but isn’t it a bit odd to get on a waitlist for a product that you don’t even know what it really is yet.![]()

An easy button to add talent.I really hope for a "FM1"
I like chocolate coins! Hey maybe Fractal is going to start putting smart chocolate coins in all their deliveries. Smart chocolate coins all the latest firmware.
G66 (Europe) did that for many yearsI like chocolate coins! Hey maybe Fractalnis going to start putting smart chocolate coins in all their deliveries. Smart chocolate coins all the latest firmware.
. Buy a FAS product and get it delivered with chocolate. Not anymore though.Oh, you don't get the Merci chocolates anymore?G66 (Europe) did that for many years. Buy a FAS product and get it delivered with chocolate. Not anymore though.

I would add, rechargeable battery. If say PG can do it with the spark mini, why not fractal.I really hope for a "FM1".
Small pedal, one switch to change between two presets/amps, USB-C-Interface, Bluetooth, FX Loop and maybe enough power for 2-3 additional FX-Blocks on a small 4x6 grid.
Or finally a FAS USB Wireless Stick for the FM3 with smartphone app and/or desktop editor support.
