Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Need to get him and Leo Gibson together: "Todaya we are talkinga abouta the new Fractal Audio AMa 4a ampa modeler".

My native language is not English either. I can write quite well and in my mind I can speak fluently, completely without an accent...until I open my mouth and can actually hear myself speaking. It's horrible.

That being said... I just love when Leo says 'fartermore'.

So, I'll concede to the "why aren't the rotary knobs push button" folks -- would be REALLY nice to just push the relevant encoder to jump straight to edit for the respective block. We're nitpicking now, but the little scroll wheel to move between blocks is the only really thing I find myself going "meh, they coulda done this a tad better" while using the device (on the floor at the moment). But that' ain't getting improved in a firmware update so I'll just carry on and try to forget about it.

I think the main reason is people would have stepped on them and kept opening menus.

G66 UK AM4 paid for now just the excitement waiting for the unit to arrive. Didn’t realise G66 UK is literally 5 miles from my home.

Ok thnx for info. I m gonna keep them than definitly.

And how do you like fractal drive/od running through amp as a preamp and guitar cab? Clean amp

Hey, I am a metal guy, so I am not the best one to answer that, lol!

In general, I dont like 4CM, and I mostly use units like this in the loop of amps for mod/delay/reverb type effects. When I use OD pedals to boost, I generally prefer to use analog pedals.

For a device like the FM3, I prefer it alone, so I would run it in front of a solid state flat poweramp into a guitar cab. Then you can tweak the total sound as your presets.

Maybe Euge Valvorita and Leo

Leo: I feel a that the 4 blocka is a limitation , and maybe the fractala could give the user a little more flexibility, farter more if we add another device we add latency

Euge" I don't think you need so much really , why I use bad boy . this best amp one preset . my preset , bad boy sd1, its good , nothing else except maybe delay on lead , its metal real rig use just amp and cabinet and Sd1 all you need , I think maybe you go practice be better
Farter more ? that not me, maybe other guy blonde Swedish he gas a lot

Take all the vowels out and you might be close!

For his sole amp block demo, Leo chooses the Vibrolux and then whacks the gain up to 10.

 

[BROCKSTAR]

Damn it, all of this is making me speaka like dis in real life to my cat!

I often use a BF bassman model run like this.
Hit it with a boost or overdrive...
