Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

Nah I just meant if you had say Drive Chorus Amp Reverb, if you wanted to make it Chorus Drive Amp Reverb could you move the blocks around (and you can)

Yes. Hold ENTER, then turn the knob to move the block.

Why couldn't it work like generally in synthesizers? You set a baseline value with the parameter knob and then you assign a modulator to change that value. You can freely change the baseline value. Modulators will modulate around that value.

Works fine in synths, where you can often have by far more complex modulation than FAS products.

I'm not gonna lie, that would be really hard for me to wrap my head around.

Some woodworking to follow then?

awkward sequencing to get to the amp/FX list and back to edit mode.

Press Amp Mode* to get to the amp controls to edit.
Press Page Left to see all types, and select if desired.
Press Page Right to return to the amp controls.

* Amp Mode can recalled through a two-switch combo, or by holding a switch.

Or is this not what you mean?

I've decided against. The idea was fairly minimal, but current plan is to either just use the AM4 standalone with pedalboard alongside in my music room and then for outside the music room I can just take the AM4 on its own, or both the AM4 and the pedalboard

OR

Mount AM4 and a 2-button switch onto their own little board and use alongside pedalboard.

Despite all my FM0 fussing I'm honestly kinda over the whole "make my modeler a combo amp" thing

Ax8 shift button

Circling back to this. The AX8 was nightmare fuel to edit on. There is no other way you could frame that thing. Good lord.

To it's credit; it was pretty much perfect form factor. And it sounded great. But talk about a device you PRAYED didn't need adjusting on the live front. I'm getting PTSD thinking about it

I've got a gen1 Atomic Amplifirebox that I'm gonna stick on the "this area is for playing around" pedalboard for times when I wanna run dual amps in stereo.

Speaking of UI nightmare products. These "amps and a bit more" boxes have come a looooooooooong way.
