Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[EOengineer]

Yep, expert mode in the amp block (page right a few times… should be after the output compressor page but before the speaker cabs page)

Of course, thank you.

Either the modeling is so much better than the one in the Ax2 or Ax8.

It IS way better than those. I wasn't really sold on modelers until the current gen, in like Cygna or whatever.

Hmmm. I’m gonna live with this for a bit longer but I might just ditch my UA pedals and get an Axe3 or maybe wait for next gen.

Yeah I'm doing one of these on my board, and then I'll get a next gen big boy when it comes out.

Damn... I see I'm back on the wrong side of the internet again.

Yeah, but your kids are going to love it.

Latency is the new aliasing

Don’t forget about device boot up times.

(BTW the AM4 is like 6 seconds )

Anyone else notice that in the advanced parameters, when you change an amp it doesn't always automatically link to the correct cab in the dynacab section? It defaults to a 1x8 5F1 Tweed curve. Bug or user error?

I'm on 1.02 beta 2

Do you have the dynamatch option turned on under expert edit and cabinet tab?

I do!

Example

Have MkIV Amp model loaded with Mesa Dynacab. Works great!

Switch to 2C+ and.....

Ok so I didn’t realize Cliff just fixes anything he reads us bitching about in here?

“This DAMN AM4 doesn’t dispense gold coins!!”

I'm not getting that behavior. Weird.

I might have figured it out. If the AM is still loading in cabs, I think this occurs.

Mine does. Yours must be defective. You should contact support.

Why the hell do I want an AM4 when I have the Axe3 ?!!

Because the AxeIII doesn't fit in your European Man Bag.
