All this pre-launch has really done for me is confirm that guitarists are fucking idiots.

Well I’m certainly not one that would be considered a guitarist

Was one degree from freezing here when I woke up, I hate this cold shit.

Good thing I'm going to Thailand next Saturday!

Send me a PM if you want to meet in BKK. I already met @Axelman8 and his missus last year. Here is our pic:

Here we go… could be my wife… this girl looks prettier though

It helps if the girl is pretty…. Because I can’t stand when she starts talking with animals in that way

That's awesome.

Think I found my new audience!

Feel like I should drop this video I did here:


So.... when I listen to these back to back clips, with just a simple pattern, the thing that really jumps out for me is how lush and full the Axe3 reverb sounds.

The delays are all fairly similar given it is just a bog standard digital delay. But the thing that sets these apart is how bright and centre-stage the reverb is capable of being with the Axe3.

I struggled to get the Helix and BigSky to have the same kind of effect. Not saying they can't do it. Just that I struggled.

I think the simplicity in the chosen effects is what is at work here.

The fractal example is straight up the best but not because its effects are better, it’s because how it’s dialed in. And so…

….its clear that it may be harder to tweak the other two examples to do the same.

One thought about the helix example is that it’s to much of everything. Frequencies are colliding and causing trouble there. Dynamic hall was not optimal maybe. Maybe a simple older legacy reverb would have been better? May be so with the Strymons also. The clarity and separation in all the nuances in the fractal segment is outstanding compared to the other two.

If something is not for me I don't make a sign and roll on down to the corner and start trying
to spread the word. Ok, maybe just that one time. But I learned my lesson from that experience. I swear.

I especially don't go into someone's backyard who is building and making the "not for me" thingies,
and tell him or her what it is about them I don't like, or how let down I am, or Wah, Wah, Wah, and
Blah, Blah, Blah that this or that is not up to my overly exceptional standards.

Manners are manners. Unless you don't have them, then you are just a douche used to literally douche an
actual douche.

It’s really damned if you do damned if you don’t
I am convinced that Cliff or any manufacturer for that matter could release the prefect compact , touchscreen , blue tooth , full featured product , some one would still bitch and start crappy threads

I think a lot of this stems from the YouTubers and podcasts we give their opions way to much weight on our decisions I feel sometimes

That why I made the parody
It’s not for me thread , it was inspired by a thread TOP and I thought it was funny .
Some guys I have never met are product bashing and telling the manufacture all the flaws and what they should have done and it’s hilarious

People think their opinions matter and they are more important than they really are
And unfortunately that’s the internet for ya

This is the thing.

With the Fractal, once I'm on a block and viewing the right things.... I never feel like it is fighting against me. Whereas the BigSky for example... yo dude... I want more brightness... *cranks the tone knob* .... er.... you got any more???

I know what you mean. I usually feel that there's more "air" in the FAS reverbs too.

Haha! It's why I want more synths and sticks----in the hopes of redeeming my soul.

That is it 100% - sometimes you aren’t in the mood to boil milk as JT would say.

" I wanna new Fractal......
I want it to do everything the Axe-Fx can do, only better......
I want it to control every other piece of my expert rig without me having to read anything......
I want it to have way more footswitches than I need.......
I want to have a touchscreen that works flawlessly every time I bother to caress it while playing to this crowd of ten......
I want it to be the size of a thimble...........
I want it now, for around tree fiddy, and if it can’t cover all that, how disappointing, I think it’s gonna be a hard-pass from me dawg……”

If you post a screenshot of Steve Sterlacci, and Steve Sterlacci gets his info from here and then posts what you posted of him posting, is it Sterlacci Inception?

If Eventide released this feature set with 4 simultaneous FX, people would be losing their minds with praise. Fractal is getting heat about it just because they have completely different products with amp modeling. I don’t get it.
