Fractal Audio Systems AM4 - Amp Modeler

[RGB]

I've struggled with most of the AM4 and VP4 videos I've watched. I haven't really liked most of the sounds. I think the units probably sound great and I just don't really like the tones dialed in by the people demoing them.

Yeah, I'm not too interested in the chugging tones either, (if that's what you're referring to). Seems to be the most popular demo tones used, but it does very well at the stuff I play as well.

I tried LT's presets on the unit and, while they sound great when he plays them, they sound not so good when I do.

For the more vintage stuff
I would say Paul from Studio Rats
Or Marco Fanton

The problem with Paul from the studio rats is he seems to make everything sound the same, IMO. Probably not helped by always playing the same riffs. I used to be a subscriber but got bored really quickly.

It’s hard to hear the pure tone through all the blatant whammy bar overuse. Nothing against the guy but just because the bar is there doesn’t mean we want to hear it on every damn chord.

I completely agree... and also feel seen.
