SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A FRACTAL FX8 MULTI-EFFECTS PEDALBOARD!
The new FX8 Multi-effects Pedalboard from Fractal Audio is one of their most hotly anticipated new innovative pieces of tech about to hit Australian shores and we're more than a little jealous that one lucky reader is going to be getting one of the first units off the boat. As our cover stars in Periphery will say, Fractal gear is top-shelf business.
The FX8 is an advanced multi-effects processor, perfect for guitar, bass, and other instruments with 128 presets that allows you to create 128 completely different pedal boards. You get up to eight simultaneous effects per 128 presets allowing you to create 128 completely different pedalboards. You can use up to eight simultaneous effects per preset, with state-of-the-art "Fractal-quality" algorithms. Just soak that up for a second. Valued at over $2,000 (exact pricing TBA) this is one serious piece of kit. If it sounds like this will be the perfect item to complement your playing, subscribe and let us know why you think Fractal gear is the best!
Here's everything we know so far:
Two fully independent FX chains: PRE (between guitar and amp) and POST (in the amp's FX loop)
Two onboard TRS RELAYS to control your amp's channel or effect switching.
"Stompbox Mode" provides traditional ON/OFF switching, plus XY switching (with press and hold).
"XY" gives many effects two different settings for more sounds from less real-estate.
Fully configurable layout lets you run effects in SERIES or PARALLEL making for great sonic flexibility.
Eight SCENES/presets allow you to load effect ON/OFF and X/Y "combos" (plus relays and MIDI).
"Modifiers" allow real-time control of many parameters via MIDI, pedals, or controllers.
Designed for UNITY GAIN (both PRE and POST) and featuring TRUE BYPASS.
High quality converters deliver ultra-low noise and pristine audio. No tone suck!
Humbuster outputs help defeat ground hum (when used with Humbuster Cables).
Built-in global IN and OUT VOLUME (pedal-assignable) and dual global 10-band Graphic EQ.
Every preset includes a built-in dedicated global 4-MINUTE LOOPER (8m in mono).
"Built Like a Tank" with a powder-coated steel chassis and aircraft aluminium end panels.
11 quiet, durable solid state footswitches with no mechanical contacts to fail.
Two onboard PEDAL jacks to connect footswitches or expression pedals.
FX8 can control or respond to other MIDI gear in your rig with MIDI IN and OUT/THRU ports.
Easy-to-use with a 160° - 80px display, six buttons, five knobs, and minimal menu diving.
Upgradeable firmware means the FX8 will get updates and new features.
USB for connection to a Mac or PC for firmware updates and FX8-Edit, which is a free editor/librarian.
Effects: (*indicates that two of the specified effect can be used simultaneously) Chorus*, Compressor*, Delay*, Drive*, Enhancer, Filter*, Flanger*, Formant, Gate, GEQ2, Megatap, Multidelay, PEQ*, Phaser*, Pitch, Reverb*, Ringmod, Rotary, Synth, Trem/Pan, Volume, and Wah*.
