Thanks for the thoughtful update Matt.The challenge of semiconductor shortages is still very real. It's hard to believe, but these units shipping are still units from the first run of FM9 Turbo. Not only Australia, but all other countries outside of the USA/Canada and Europe are regrettably still waiting. We're doing our best but now the war has potentially worsened the situation originally brought on by COVID-19.
Too much metal? As in metal amps?Submitted my request in Nov, 2022 . . . just got my notification yesterday, Tue, 7 Feb 2023. I'm NOT going to spring for it. Moved to Helix line. Had Fm3 . . . too much M E T A L !!!
There's no metal in my presets, lots of blues and rock, a couple presets that could do for country, some jazz, but nothing metal. I don't turn my knobs that way.I'm NOT going to spring for it. Moved to Helix line. Had Fm3 . . . too much M E T A L !!!
What ever works for you as long as you're happy. On the bright side that moves me one unit up on the waitlist. Enjoy what you got and make music! Lots of happy Helix guys out there, we saw the Little River band a few years back and their guitar player was using one, sounded great!Submitted my request in Nov, 2022 . . . just got my notification yesterday, Tue, 7 Feb 2023.

I turn my knobs however it suits the music at hand...I don't turn my knobs that way.
They are all just tools after all, you decide what amp, cabinet and effects you want to use. BTW, most of my presets are clean and just on the edge of break up and it sounds fantastic. I am not sure what you mean by "too much metal". But you are the captain of your Fractal ship and ultimately decide the tone and choices.Submitted my request in Nov, 2022 . . . just got my notification yesterday, Tue, 7 Feb 2023.

Wow, they are flying through the list. I ordered about 8 weeks behind you.Just received the golden email and placed my order.
Waitlist date 11/3/2022. Today is a good day!
Yes. The number of people signing up for the list per day peaks then drops off which you can see in the charts I periodically post. The effect is that they’re covering more days in the list for each day they ship units.Wow, they are flying through the list. I ordered about 8 weeks behind you.
