OK Fender says no, you say yes?

Hmm. Let me go back and look. I did also recently get a Fractal FM3. Maybe I'm confusing the two?

Typical guitarist:
- Line 6, LOL, digital crap!
- Ooooooo, Fender logo!
Guitarists are idiots.

Dude. You’re concerned the Fractal Marshall models might not be authentic enough for you, so you’re thinking about going with the TMP?
I can tell you from experience using one for a while, the Marshall models in the TMP are possibly the least authentic Marshalls in any modeler out there today. I’m pretty sure they just lifted those models from the old Mustang and stuck them straight into the TMP.
There’s a lot I loved about the TMP, but the Marshall and Vox models in it are abysmal

The non Fender models in the TMP (at launch) were the reason I wound up passing it up in favor of the FM9.

And the overarching reality is -- a real Marshall can sound bad depending on player and/or settings.

Ha. Fender booted me from Discord because I dare to mention its flaws...
I've never seen such an immature bunch of so called professionals. To be clear, I'm not out there saying 'it sucks, don't buy it blah blah'. I am though, accurately, stating my disappointment that, for example, scenes doesn't work properly, and that it generates huge audio gaps when switching...

So Fender’s official discussion board is Discord? What happened to their forum?

Surprised that thread is allowed to exist at TOP.

I'll get back to being good here in a sec!

"When you absolutely positively need to control public discussion of your device....accept no substitutes!".
In all seriousness, I'm gathering that these upstarts are seeing Discord as a more modern "customer interaction" channel than straight-up traditional discussion forums.
And I will give Fender's reps credit for sticking and publicly taking one-on-one questions here and elsewhere quite a while after launch....unlike some other company's product reps who basically went into the witness protection program.

People dig both pieces. And that's what's important at the end of the day; whether I like them or not. I've kinda dipped away from griping about them as I lost any sort of energy to care about it at this point.

Every time i’ve opened the TMP thread at TOP i see that dude bitching about something. Reminds me of the “just telling it like it is” type

I am banned from that thread-and I was careful to be positive and supportive of the unit and the reps every step of the way. Any semblance of nice disappeared at that point, though it was a TGP mod who chose to boot me along with the stalker who was trolling me hard for a few pages.
Fuck 'em. Fractal is the way.

The sad part is a couple of the guys were big on forums were very helpful and always gave honest opinions of gear and were welcoming to all
But it just goes to show when you have vested interest in the products , things can change

While I agree with that, everything I’ve seen from that particular poster was more along the lines of “I paid money so I demand answers right now and if it’s not happening at the speed I want it to I’m going to keep bitching”. I think he joined here early on and our kind didn’t take kindly to his kind.

Didn’t see his posts on the TMP discord but if he got banned he must’ve been an Ahole lol. Pretty low volume of convos there and plenty of criticisms of Fender stuff so if he got banned it sounds like a personality issue more than a “feedback issue”
In comparison the NDSP discord is 12x more troll and gaslight worthy if you even mention one remotely critical thing about anything theyve done ever…. “Sounds like a you problem”

It drives me crazy as well. Don't know exactly when it became fashionable to use IRC for customer support, but, alas.

+100. I've seen people, newcomers included, kicked there just for daring to ask when plugins were going to be ported to the QC.
