What's with the Fractal countdown?

[kasperjensen]

But what on earth was the point of the Angry Birds picture on the display?

What? I must've missed something.

It was on one of them pictures on the countdown. Number 2 I believe...

People that are passionate about something are always trying to convince other there way is the best way ,
Have you ever observed "Apple Culture" .My wife works there and it is insane . They will stand out in the rain at 3 am when the store opens to launch Iphone at 9
I LMAO

That's very true. The AxeFX crowd is the tops of the gear world though. Their persecution complex is second to none.

They really do bring it all on themselves, and they can't help it...which I guess makes it irresistible.

Oh, I see. I don't know. All I know is it will be more perfecter than before. Perhaps it'll be easier to dial in perfecter tones? Or maybe you don't even have to dial it in anymore? You plug in and there it is...perfect tone.

That's pretty funny. Considering the majority of the posts I read that are screaming are the "must have tubes" crowd.

I would definitely argue that seeing as the majority of people have tube amps, the zealots tend to be just them.

Here's what i NEVER see.

Someone starts a thread entitled "what tube amp should I buy"

An axe owner jumps in and says "tubes suck, buy an axe"

Here's what i see ALL the time

Someone starts a thread entitled " Should I buy an axe?"

And the Cameron modded super tube throwback plexi panthers jump in with

"dont drink the kool aid homo, you need tubes to be bedroom authentic rock god".


Most axe owners I know, could give two shits what everone thinks.

We should take one of these threads you refer to and let's take a look at it. You can even pick the thread and forum its from, but I would assume it'd be from a mainstream forum and a serious discussion, since you see it ALL the time.

Uhhh, lets just start with this one.

The thread was in relation to the Axe countdown thing.

You morphed it into an axe fanboy kool-aid thread.

I can look for more, but I think you know the results.

Fail. I have an idea, let's start with one that.....

That's what you said. Let's start there. I haven't said anything regarding your claims.

I'm doing work in the bedroom and the wife has been sleeping downstairs all week so I haven't been able to play my amps and the last time i was on Ebay i was looking at used PODHD500 prices. Will Fractal give me something similiar to look at?

You might be able to pick up a used standard pretty cheap in a week.

My friend bought a standard on Ebay for $850 a month or so ago. When they release a new product you'll see the prices drop big time.

have you not learned that I know you are but what am I responses dont help either side
I called V on what I thought was MAYBE a little harsh posting .You may have just supported his claim

Using statements like "Throwback plexi" is a deragatory statement indicating that someone is not current or Hip
both sides are guilty of this but there are far less Axe fans that are tolerant of the tube users opnions .IMO

For the record I have yet to see someone call a member a HOMO for switch ing to the axe

 

[thiswaythatway]

Who gives a shit anymore, buy the thing if you like it and if you don't like it, why both reading into a thread where someone praises it.

 

[kasperjensen]

Seriously... Which processor are Fractal saying is more advanced than theirs?

 

[gtr31]

They appear to be launching a new one .but we will all know tomorrow
sound like a step forward for modelling whatever it is .curious to see

 

[Zer0th]

Due to people getting emotional over where it might be made, Cliff revealed:
"It is made in USA."

Good for him on that. *

Could be a bluff... algorithms made at his desk.

[*] that possibly rules out an Axe 'Lite'

 

[roadifier]

I'm really hoping a new processor will be released tomorrow so they used price of the axe fx standard or ultra drop down really low. I know it will be bad for people that just bought one, but for buyers like me it will be amazing! I would of sold my axe fx ultra before the new thing is released, so I don't lose money once the new thing is released, and if a new axe fx 2 is made, i can jut buy a used axe fx ultra agin.

Update:
Taken from the G66 website (Fractal's European distributor). Draw your own conclusions.

Kinda looks like to me hinting towards a whole new unit..... could be wrong though.

Unless it's a double bluff, it's a bluff... firmware
