Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[jellodog]

So I know the input circuitry is supposed to be the same on the AM4 as the Axe-FX III, but I swear the AM4 sounds better somehow.

Is it just me?

It may simply be the significant firmware updates that happened during the 3 months between my selling the AF3 and buying the AM4, but that's what I keep experiencing. Obviously I've never done a live side-by-side comparison, so it's just a memory and we all know that audio memory can be completely wrong.

This is what I always wanted the FM3 to be.

And despite the complainers whining about the price in Europe (I'm in the UK), I still think this thing is fantastic value when compared to hardware like the X88-IR, which is considerably more expensive at 3 times the price!

I played the Soldano yesterday and then went back to the AM4 Plexis

Shhhhhhhh I have never owned III but very happy with AM4 at the moment, Cliff may quietly nerf it in the next update let's keep it hush hush

Seems the new Axe-Fx 3 delay dry diffusion didn't make it down the mountain, not even to the VP4.

It's always a bit of a bummer when the right form factor, but less powerful device does not get all the latest bells and whistles from the flagship.

Based on that, I guess there's also no chance the Pitch and Multitap blocks might make it to the AM4 later.
