Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[GTR37]

No worries, I appreciate the help.

While I was initially fixated on the 4 head setup from an accuracy/reproduction standpoint, after looking at my Helix and re-202, the majority of my space echo usage is using 2 heads and should be doable in the AM4. So perhaps I’m sliding into the “tweaking incompetence” camp.

I did work with the worn tape and mono tape delay options last night and started to get a little closer. I found making the echos bandpass from 120hz - 2khz and adding some modulation and drive helped but was still pretty meh. I couldn’t find the delay compander on the AM4 to check those changes out, and ran out of time.

I have an RMA set up as of this morning but am planning to sit down with AM4 edit later tonight to take one final pass. I’m thinking the compander and connecting an LFO to the motors will help get me there.

I swear I’m not an idiot lol, just stumbling through learning the fractal way of doing things.

Someone did a Volante patch it tied motor speed tone to expression pedal I think
It on the fractal forum if you search it , problem is yoy would need someone to post screen shots as block is not directly compatible with AM4

That was Leon Todd, years ago,

Then probably in his AM4 blocks library , he posted on his gumtree it like $6 for likely a ton of stuff

@EOengineer Leon is a master at this stuff many of his blocks are direct matches to the real pedals and racks that he has owned and compared

Well, it uses the MTD, so ...

I set out to recreate my favourite settings on the Strymon Volante using the Multitap Delay and Spring Reverb. I've mapped as many parameters to the perform page as possible to keep it easy to tweak the preset. The "mechanics" depth and rate are set quite conservatively to start so don't be...

Yeah I did see that as I was digging. It uses multi delay, unfortunately.

Yes that does pose a bit of a problem

Is there a list of what in there ?
Obviously no MTD , Plex or Pitch

Spoiler

If the AM4 has as much power as an FM9 and only 4 blocks, shouldn’t it have no problem with multi delay and pitch and any anything else that is missing?

Unless you want a specific folder list? Let me know?
