I wonder how bad the latency would be if I put a stomp and AM4 in series, using no amp models or effects loop on the stomp
Probably a non issue. I’ve used an HXFX & Tonex setup with similar latency and it was fine.I wonder how bad the latency would be if I put a stomp and AM4 in series, using no amp models or effects loop on the stomp
Trying to remember..., were you non-modeler prior to this?The tones are really good so far. I've not dove too deep in functionality parameters and such.
I've just been having fun, have only played 3 or 4 models and getting lost in playing. That's a very good sign. Loving the Face Fuzz > 65 Bassguy > 4x12 Friedman GB > medium chamber verb. The FF responds as it should with guitar volume.
Not really, but you can't know until you actually feel it and how it responds. I got a taste with the VP4, but now with having amp models/cabs I understand.
I absolutely love the editor it’s so well laid out a aesthetically appealing IMO because it’s not all crammed in one screenFirst amp I pulled up was 5153 50watt Blue. Sold.
Now just jammin' on a tweed. Sold-er.

No, but compared to a lot of you guys I started a bit later. I've been using a Stomp XL and Native for about 2 yrs now. I mean, I've dabbled in plugin modeling for 20 yrs, mainly with a Sansamp plugin, but only moderate use.
Pretty similar experience here. This is your first fractal device? (I should say fractal amp modeler, I just saw you have a VP4 and already answered this question) What do you think, is the amp modeling a major upgrade over helix/stomp? Not really? Too soon to say?
First impressions I would say, yes. But, I was pretty impressed with Helix when I first got it too. It feels like the Fractal is smoother and less harsh in the high end, maybe a bit more present and responsive overall. Transparent? Can't say about the new HX Agoura amps though, maybe those things have been vastly improved? Either way, having both right now is a great thing, I don't plan on getting rid of my Stomp anytime soon.
I understand why you're a fractal ho now, Stone.
Awesome congrats, but as you know were at a point now they all sound really good, difference will be how you like your workflow and if it works for you, I really think that your technique is more important, but thats my 2 cents
Thanks! Yeah, I agree with you on technique/individuality - that is the most important thing. But it's pretty cool when you can quickly dial up some killer tones with not much effort. It helps focus on playing more.Awesome congrats, but as you know were at a point now they all sound really good, difference will be how you like your workflow and if it works for you, I really think that your technique is more important, but thats my 2 cents
BTW @2112 has put out blocks form the AM4, i use his blocks quite often makes dialing in even faster, ask @Blockstar lolThanks!
