Fractal Talk

I know FAS gets crap because of their "lack of bass options"; but this video sounds killer to my ears

I honestly think they just need a couple of multi scene factory bass patches. There's just Leon's Djent Bass or whatever and that's pretty much it.

I often use The Tom Hamilton Gift of Tone one from a couple of years back, but you have to go find it.

Holy Crap... I think The Frac Boys over at the 'Forum that shall not be named" are more over zealous than the bunch here...

Same! It's

I also put the Darkglass OD in front and bring some added grind to the mix.

Don't be afraid to boost these Drive an Saturation knobs! It doesn't hurt until the VU peaks the red

Lemme guess..., Great playing makes up for any gear "shortcomings"?

All my amp models on my FM9 sound so much better after this update. I can even feel the latency on my FM3 has improved because of this firmware update for the AFXIII. How do they do it?!

So I got that loadbox a couple weeks back and I know I've sent a few PM's here saying, "Man, I might be done with modeling, there's just something an amp can do that I don't get from modeling" but I wanted to wait a bit before I said it in any threads and got that whole debate rolling. Glad I waited.

It's just more of what I've mentioned in the past; I'm so used to dialing in my presets to be record-ready that I'm chopping out shit that you hear with an amp the second you turn it on and turn the volume up. After spending time with some models again, and A/B'ing some tracks I had recorded previously, there's really no difference within the given context. The low end is the biggest thing I notice, I'm so careful about how much I dial in and when I first heard the Electra Dyne into some DynaCabs I was really floored with how big it sounded, but once I started tweaking it to record, it could have been any AxeFX model of a similar amp.

This was pretty much my experience. Once you take the real guitar cab and volume out, modelers sound very much like the tube amps they emulate, or even similar amps when compared to the right model that has been tweaked a bit.

If you want to run into a real cab, it gets more complicated with modelers. Things like "which poweramp works best" or "what speakers to use in the cab to get the most out of the models" become issues you don't think about with the limitations of a real amp.

The low end is the biggest thing I notice,

Same.
Most likely impedance curve differences.
In my experience real cabs have slightly narrower resonace Q than the afx curves, so that's where I compensate.

Not at my PC at the moment. Does the Axe /FM3 have a Fender Pro Reverb Amp in it (?)

Just listened to JNC's latest video and hit with a basic drive, it had an awesome Cruch tone.

no. The vibe-verb (which there are models of) was same circuit but different speaker configuration by my understanding

Thanks. Tried them all and landed on one that was perfect ! Much appreciated :)
