Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[KFF]

AM4 is out for delivery. I didn’t expect it to even ship until next week.

Exactly how it caught me. Fractal. Fedex. Totally caught off guard in Awesome!

Im so pumped for this one. The only other digital 6G3 I’m aware of is the amalgam Tonex capture pack. The brown amps don’t get the love they deserve.

I wasn't even aware of that one.

Cliff's TG .01 drop was my first realization that I may FINALLY be able to experience that gem. Have a mate (Ronan) that has NEVER... zip-a-da lip over it!

Honestly SPDIF is a total no brainer. There seems to be a clear trend towards modular digital boxes - hopefully everyone gets on board because I love minimizing conversion stages and tightening up latency anywhere possible.

S/PDIF... damn straight... no doubt.

Please... sing a choir to Cliff/Fractal... ADAT on next gen. His verbs, delays, compressors... microphones, EQs... magic...

Lets go! Lets mix, too!

Delighted the beastie is enroute to you!

Yer gonna fall... HARD!

LOVE Ola!

Impossible to NOT dig the AM4. I LOVE cool shit... reflections on humanity, like. Fractal is a bit of a stand out when it comes to AMPS... in a box!

This Fractal device? Startling.

Miniaturization is one of the most impressive things I marvel at through time. Yardstick of humanity... through my mind/eyes.

Witnessing someone harness it...

(and I'm not talking half the size... or half the Fx III's power)...

No better man to put forth...

Cliff Chase!

...hahahhahahahaha sorry... forgot. Went off track.

Ola is a beaut!

Out of curiosity, is an email auto-generated when the unit ships?

Yes.

I believe so. Bottom up...

Third time I've ordered from Fractal directly.

As ALL systems (that we choose to interact with) improve...

...shit just gets better and better.

Fractal and Fedex did not F about!

(Purolator was a separate delivery)

The next person that says Pitch or NAM is getting poo in their stocking for Christmas

Make sure it's runny.

Ordering was easy and the fact that it’s FedEx and not UPS in Canada makes me happy. , also the fact that I could use pay pal was great as well , I don’t recall that option when I ordered my FM9

Thank you @EOengineer @KFF @GTR37 for confirming.

Ordered late Wednesday night and anxiously awaiting aforementioned email. Super excited to get/tweak/set up over the holidays.

EDIT: Woohoo! Elvis has left the building…

Yesss me too. Tbh these amps weren't on my radar until I saw the 62 Princeton reissue Fender put out a few years ago, the Chris Stapleton one (that thing sounds great)

First amp I pulled up was 5153 50watt Blue. Sold.
Now just jammin' on a tweed. Sold-er.

AM4 is in my possession. Haven’t had much time with it, but I spent a few moments navigating the unit, and that went well. It’s definitely streamlined.

I really like that the model list has been consolidated. I would love to see that come to the Axe and FM9 (though I’m not sure the latter is possible).

I need to peruse the manual more. I like the “tap active channel” control to add a boost, but I’d rather have that motion add a preamp boost rather than a volume boost.
