Interesting, going for the high end.
That price though 
Funny thing the inbuilt power supply with kettle lead, genius, who would have thought 
That price though

Seems like a normal evolution for a company aware that the market is shifting.
Yeah...it's pricey. Not so much that I'd be totally off-put and pick something else. If its built like their pedals (as in - like tanks).....OK.
Touch screen - encoder knobs/footswitch (Quad Cortex)......small form factor, a mic-in (suggesting profile-ish possibilities). We know they have excellent effects with the pedal line they've built over the years. Sophisticated I/O.....yeah. Ain't gonna be cheap.
Just sayin':
He forgot to say "above the Kemper and not as good". 
Liquid Profiling blows them away by miles. I think Fender should stick to guitars and amps. I've never heard anyone consider their effects department as "high end" or above mediocre except for maybe their spring reverb. Prove me wrong.
I think Keller was first according to the time stamp.

No I won, I have so little, don’t take it away.
The Helix killer. Didn't some little box come out around the holidays last year that was going to be the Kemper killer? ToneX or something like that. HW and his game changers. Glad they come along about once a year to keep him busy. He is the quintessential social media influencer. Well, they all are. HW, Pete Thorn, Rabea. They never met a new product they didn't like.

I gigged with a Mustang 3 for a good while and regret nothing.
Fender’s modeling has never been anything to really sneeze at. Their effects pedals have flown under the radar, but are quite good.
Their hurdle will be getting people to stop thinking they only do amps and guitars. That hasn’t been true for a while, but no one really noticed.
Don't know about how it will be but yes, it's a logical step. How can anybody say it's pricey at this point? The fm9 is 2300 Euros. That is unjustifiably pricey as HELL, for me.

Between Modeling and Profiling I'm 100% for the latter (especially with LP). The Powered Cab could be something, though....
threads merged.
please be more careful not to create double posts - especially in the 'Other Gear' section, as this is by no means the focus of this forum.
This is not a news/press release site, there are plenty of dedicated websites for that sort of thing.
Sorry Don, I didn't meant to advert anything (I'm not linked anyhow with Fender). Just general knowledge, and the powered FR cab is for all digital devices.
Don't want to upset anyone here
It's all good, just two identical posts about the same thing, apparently right after the news hit was a bit much for my taste
What I meant was, that this is not a press release mirror site, we had the same issue in the past once or twice, so I thought it might be a good idea to re-state that.
Please don't just copy and paste press releases, this subforum is probably more about 'Other Gear' in context with the PROFILER (like DAW and audio interface issues), or at the very least about personal experiences with certain equipment worth sharing.
Thanks

let me guess... another "Kemper-Killer"?
What's the count up to now? 10? 15?

Nope, this time the trend goes more in the "Helix Killer" direction
