    Who knows.

    They've clearly been gearing up to this for a while, they bought a new warehouse in the past year or so.

    And nice they're starting out with 2 sizes.

    I never bought the MFC101 because it was too big yet cramped with too many rows (I'd prefer to stick to 2 because I'm clumsy and also don't need that many switches)

    It is a bit of a footer TBH. The whole things looks great. I look forward to picking up a second hand one in a couple of years :)

  • Woohoo!! :-) A new toy for us Fractal folk! The I/O looks awesome. The CPU looks like a wet dream. The chassis looks shite...haha. But that is some pretty awesome news!!! :-)

    Something tells me an AX8 isn't in my future anymore!

  • Looks like the UI, with Helix-esque knobs under the graphic, is a making real step up too!

    The 2 does have the quick controls off to the side, but I always forget to use them.  This is a better setup for sure.

    You'll probably need to sell a kidney as well!
    What do we reckon 3-4k?

    Won't be much cheaper than that.

    Yeah, me too. It's funny how much more intuitive it is having them below the screen (in my limited time with the Helix). Having 5 knobs instead of 4 will help too.

    Cliff has already said $2499

    RRP on the Axe FX 2 XL+ was $2149 (it is on sale in the US for $1799 currently), so it is a price increase.  However the capability increase is gigantic.

    $2499...? So that'll be £3000 for us then, excluding floor controller. Yikes.

    Would love one, but no way can I justify that.... think I'll be sticking to my AX8!

    you've got to love the reverse exchange rate Fractal have introduced...

    US prices are usually without sales tax though which makes prices look worse.  It isn't Fractal's fault we have to pay 20% VAT.
