FRACTAL AUDIO QUOTES


[1] It's not a replacement for any of our current products.

[2] (Does it come with a power supply included?) Yes

[3] One to the right is a power button.

[4] (Can it run a Dual Detune, Reverb, Delay and a Plex Delay simultaneously, in a non-economy algo mode?)
Yes

[5] In L = Guitar
Out L = Preamp In
In R = Preamp Out
Out R = Power amp In

[6] It uses a new, streamlined UI.

[7] 254mm x 160.3mm

[8] It does have channels and scenes and presets, etc. but in a simplified approach. Its primary application is live performance and the UI was designed with that in mind.
It sounds very good. It has the analog path from the Axe-Fx III (which evolved from the FX-8). Beta testers report that it "plays nicely" with difficult fx loops.
