Fractal Audio Systems manufactures guitar processors for professionals.
The VP4 is a digital pedal system based on the top-of-the-line guitar processor Axe-Fx III.
It is useful for electric guitars and electric basses, as well as acoustic guitars.
In fact, I often hear that Fractal Audio products are highly valued by professionals for sound-making on acoustic guitars.
The VP4 allows you to freely assign over 400 types of effects to 104 presets.
Each of the four foot switches is assigned an effect, so it literally functions as a virtual pedal board.
In addition, this model is for BASS, and comes pre-installed with presets for bassists supervised by Teppei Kawasaki.
It's packed with professional sounds.
Multi-effects may not develop any further.
It is a product that has attracted so much attention, and its high level of perfection has already been recognized worldwide.
FEATURES
Uncompromising Sound Quality: True to Fractal Audio's reputation, the VP4 delivers pristine sound quality, making it suitable for use on the world's finest stages and in studios.
Four Footswitches: Classic ON/OFF switching makes using the VP4 as easy and intuitive as four traditional pedals. Meanwhile, the factory-default "Gig Mode" switching system puts presets, scenes, effects, channels, tuner and tap tempo at your feet.
104 Presets: Each preset is like a complete pedalboard with four effects to choose from. This flexibility allows one VP4 to replace your entire collection of other effects. Plus, each preset features its own noise gate, master EQ/level and more.
Expression Pedal Compatibility: Connect up to two expression pedals or switches to control effect settings in real time. The Fractal Audio EV-1 and EV-2 are great choices.
Accurate Tuner: VP4 features a convenient "mini tuner" that's always visible, in addition to a dedicated large display tuner mode. It uses the latest pitch detector from Axe-Fx III.
Flexible, high-quality connectivity: Mono/stereo analog I/O with unity gain and ultra-low noise floor, "4CM mode" allows splitting effects before the amp and in the loop. Plus, it features buffered analog bypass, SPDIF digital I/O, MIDI I/O, and USB audio/MIDI capabilities.
Get the most out of your modeler: VP4 is designed to work seamlessly with traditional amps, and also excels at providing pre- or post-effects with any modeler. You can choose every element of your rig and enjoy Fractal Audio's vast inventory of effects vetted by the world's greatest guitar heroes.
Beyond the basics: For those looking to go beyond a basic pedalboard, VP4 supports scenes, channels, modifiers, controllers, and more for a highly customizable experience.
VP4-Edit: Customize VP4 with VP4-Edit, our free companion software editor and librarian.
Upgradable Firmware: Like all Fractal Audio processors, VP4 features upgradeable firmware, allowing you to enjoy free updates with new features and improvements.
