Presonus Hardware??

I'm wondering whether they will also rebrand the higher end Presonus stuff, which has a decent reputation in pro circles.
 
From the Fender site, I did a search for Presonus and was taken to a PreSonus page with all of the hardware and software.

Could be that better integration will come in time.
 
Unfortunately, most of the links doesn't work actually, because there were redirected to the local pages which didn't exist, at least now.

But, the Speaker for example are still available, but i guess, if you want a "Presonus" Branded one you have to act soon.

 
I also did a search, but mainly among retailers - who have plenty of Quantum HD interfaces and Eris monitors. I don't believe for a minute that these will disappear (the Quantum range is only a year or so old), but they may get rebadged. But I may splash out for another Quantum interface just in case!

The Quantum range already HAS been rebadged. If you want another Presonus badged Quantum you'd better pull the trigger
NOW!!

I'd really like to see something tangible about the Series III ecosystem. After a (very) long wait we had the Milan upgrade last year, which opened the door to interfacing with (Milan certified) non-PreSonus AVB gear. I hope that gets a chance to become a success for all parties involved.
 
Well I'm not going to "upgrade" to any Fender branded DAW anytime soon. BUT for now....I'm headed
for the Fender Custom shop to score one of these beauties!!

At the time I wrote that post, only the brand-new LT range (as per your photo) was Fender-badged. Since then they've updated the website and now the HD2 and HD8 are also rebadged as Fender. The ES2 and ES4 have disappeared, which is a great shame.

Edit: that's per the Fender website, but the UK PreSonus website is still showing the whole range.

Just scored a PreSonus Quantum HD2 for £259 including 12 months of Studio One Pro (Fender Studio Pro) Plus, which is currently £160 to renew - so I reckon that's a good deal and I now have a Studio 26C for sale!!

Wouldn't say I burst into hysterics...but your artwork got a grin out of me :) Regarding the Custom Shop, there have never been more overpriced and less innovative instruments offered for sale in the history of music companies. I opted for the $699 Player II Strat over any $7000 custom shop variant with $2,000 worth of goofy racing stripe jacking up the price—and it wasn't just because the price was lower. "You get what you pay for" doesn't apply to Strats. No company has been luckier in the history of companies than Fender to keep selling the same guitars and amps that date back to the early 1950s with a few new paint colors and grill fabrics. Will that luck carry over to the DAW marketplace in 2026? Doubtful, but you never know.

My Player Series Strat is a dream to play. Of course the trem is decked and blocked :D
 
I'm new on this planet: what's decked and blocked? Removed? Mine works fine. You're just a hardtail guy?

Same experience here with the Player series being a dream to play (of course mine had the aforementioned super pro setup before I bought it)—a phrase I can't apply to a single custom shop one I played, so I don't care if the pickups were wound by the Dalai Lama himself or the relic-ing they'd like me to care about (and pay thousands more for). I'll struggle along with the sweet blueberry burst top that looks way too good for the relative pittance I paid.

Blocked in the rear cavity to effectively make it a hardtail. I've never liked any kind of trem/whammy.

In the early 90s I had an Am Deluxe, but I'm also allergic to gloss maple fretboards. At the time I considered a new neck with rosewood FB but it never happened.

I generally prefer a rosewood neck myself, but as I said earlier, I went with the maple neck because that particular neck just suited my fretting hand to a tee, and I believe good engineers can smooth out the differences between maple and rosewood, and if they can't, good mastering guys certainly can. I know machines make these necks and they're supposedly all the same...except in reality they're not. I even asked Warmoth if they could recreate the neck in rosewood and they confirmed that while all necks in a series are theoretically the same, in actuality they're not, so they couldn't help me. Which is fine, the supposedly inferior pickups sound fine, the supposedly inferior fretwire feels fine, the supposedly inferior tremolo block feels fine, and the supposedly worse tuners tune fine compared to the supposedly mythic custom shop examples.

My problem with slick maple isn't tone. It's getting my fingers to move smoothly for bending. At any rate, I'm quite happy with my Strat right now.
Also happy with my '99 LPB7 - a 10th anniversary gift from my bride. Yeah, they are both keepers :D

What was the topic again? ;)
