QUOTE (AK Rich @ Jan 30 2018, 05:20 PM)  I am not a big fan of Fractals business model of exclusiveness and waiting around to see how many are ordered before they actually start building anything That isn't quite accurate. They don't wait for orders to come in before building. And the exclusiveness isn't by choice. But they are a small outfit. With their production running at full speed, they build relatively few units, so that means the spike in demand that naturally accompanies the release of a new product will mean a wait. With the popularity Fractal enjoys among prominent guitarists, it's easy to get the mistaken impression that they are a large company. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

QUOTE (Darius Wave @ Jan 30 2018, 09:12 PM) Accidentaly though of this today when I saw somebody tryign to sell older AXE model - Ultra and how much did the price go off. This doesn't happen with used amps or guitars that much. I think you'd be surprised. An AxeFX Ultra is a ten-year old model, and sells used for around $700 to $1000 US. Some amps and guitars are especially prized and keep their value of course, but the Ultra has kept its value in the same way most 10-year old amps or guitars have. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I can see how many guitarists at my country are selling their Dual Rectifiers at low prices to go for a Fractal. For this reason the reselling price of a Mesa is low nowadays. I wonder what about Kemper... are there any news about the more direct Fractal competitor? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Jan 31 2018, 12:50 AM) I wonder what about Kemper... are there any news about the more direct Fractal competitor? As I mentioned in the NAMM thread, there was no news from Kemper this year. It's hard to say who Kemper's competition is these days. Years ago, Fractal and Kemper were competitors, but Kemper has stood still while Fractal has progressed with ever more capable products. In the US you can currently get an AxeFX XL+ for the same price as a Kemper! But if you look at the AxeFX III and the AX8, you can see the competition Fractal is worried about is Line6. That's good news for all of us. Fractal and Line6 will push each to be better. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jan 31 2018, 05:58 PM) It's about darn time IMHO they caught up with line 6 and offered a large color screen instead of of small green and black one. Not to mention only the later revisions even had a head phone jack and or usb recording. Basic bits that should have been a part of such a pricy unit since day one IMHO. Just mine thought, but yeah, they could have spared the 10 cents for a headphone jack and a way to record usb on the first rev. They know they have a huge hunk of the market cornered and a loyal fan base so they seem free to lag behind on features and let their fans defend them. Personally I think it's sorta pure crap to treat loyal users that way. Only the original Ultra/Std from 10 years ago lacked a headphone jack and USB. Starting with the AxeFX II, all AxeFX models have had a headphone jack and USB. That was several years before the Line6 Helix even existed. Lagging behind competition that doesn't even exist yet would require time travel skills that I'm quite certain are beyond the capabilities of Fractal Audio  . Kemper on the other hand, in 2018 still does not have USB output.Personally, I consider the large screen on a rackmount unit to be a waste. The interface I use on a rackmount unit is the editor app, not the device's front panel. And indeed, some people are complaining that the AxeFX III is 3 units high because of a display they consider unnecessarily large. I can see how the large display is important on a floor unit though. In any case, that's the nature of competition in technology. Competitors don't progress in lock step. Instead, they move forward in a series of leap frog maneuvers. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

It's curious to see that this is the first thing that appears when you go to Kemper amps site:
 Is this a bad or a good signal?

Slightly OT but I think its important to remember that a lot of if not all of these high tech music gear companies are started by a musician (not a business man) with an idea about how to fill a niche that has up to that point gone unfilled. They start small, maybe one or two folks building it and voila they have a 'hit'. Many (most) times the quick success gets away from them and then they have quickly figure out a 'real' business model and plan on the fly while they're still building stuff. It can be tough to say the least. Many just fold or sell.

QUOTE (Mertay @ Feb 1 2018, 06:55 PM) I curious how they'll use such power. The amp modeling only received slight modifications. Some effects, for example pitch shifting, were enhanced significantly to take advantage of the greater cpu power. The biggest change regarding the cpu is the number of processing modules you can have in a preset. Plus of course there are many changes unrelated to cpu power, for example the ability to name scenes or fading in/out to avoid a silence gap when switching amp channels. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

They will sell every single unit they build, can't say that for line 6.
