MULTI-EFFECTS- FRACTAL AUDIO VP-4___NEW___ released today, just effects, no amps

F R A C T A L  A U D I O |||VP4 
Fractal use true Modeling where it is done through 'Component Construction'. 
Think of it like Lego blocks where you build a sound like a house using 
blocks. The advantage is you can build the ideal sound. 
The other basic method is 'Profiling' where you in effect mic an amp 
and you get the snapshot of that amp arguably perfect or 
old and worn needing maintenance. 
It will be accurate but it represents a moment in time,
a single sample of that amp and a place.  
...Both are flawed methods.  
 
$650.00 USD
CONCLUSION ___ 
 The advantage to effects is if they sound good they are good. They are artificial in the first place. 
 So having then sonically near perfect suits Fractal's approach. They are simply putting a frame   around your guitar. A frame can be added to anything. A tube amp,other modelers etc, etc. 
 It is hard to argue that the Fractal effects are competitive to any. A Marshall should 
 arguably sound like a Marshall but what should reverb or echo be???
