Bold. I like it.
And that kind of cross-pollination might sell more packs down the road.
Come on out from cover there, fella.

For recall of an amp when using a Fractal hardware, just create a midi track for every project.that transmits the require midi PC/CC to the Axe FXIII.
If the plugin aas cheaper, it might have been a good choice for even Axe FX bardware owners, but $500 is really pushing it for a plugin that you ha e to keep adding to.
But that's just my point of view.

Take a Deluxe Reverb. Gain on 10, Treble on 10, Bass at 0. Nasty.

That works on most Fender amps! The tweeds and browns may need the presence turned up a but too if available.

So far they're all sounding great, but the Tweed and BF Bassmans will get extra love from me. TW bassman cleans are always 
, the BF overdriven is 
. Even in Helix, the Dripman is my favorite amp for lead tones. I do wish we had a bit more cabinet selection in ICONS, I really think that portion should be decked out. In the AM4, I have an EC champ maxed out with a Solo100 cab and some graphic eq that sounds huge.

Didn't Gibbons use one of those back in the day?
I've always liked an old tweed Super cranked too.

Yes, supposedly the early ZZ Top albums use a Brown Deluxe a lot.

Cool, thought I had read that before. I love those old wholly tones.

After having a more recent DRRI that stabbed my ears with piercing high end, my knee-jerk is to cover my ears and brace for impact, but I'll give this a shot at 50dB through studio monitors later.

I didn't realize he'd been a slapper for so long?!

Fender treble can be spikey...if the volume is too low. The key is the crank the treble and the volume to both be in the 6-10 range.

As it stands, the Fullerton plugin has analog mono/stereo, and digital mono/stereo. From these options, I’m curious what existing Fractal algos people prefer to use with Fender style amps?
I didn’t even buy UA Paradise because I didn’t feel like it offered me much that I don’t already have, but I think their included FX offering is a bit better rounded - you get essentially a full Lexicon 224, EMT 140 plate, Fender style springs and another digital reverb on top. The delays have an EP3, memory man, digital delay and pitch delay.
The offerings in ICON are a bit too thin for me to even really think of using them - I’m just instantly going to go to another plugin that covers more territory, or straight to a specific effect. I think rather than the two most “generic” options, I’d have preferred things leaned towards emulating specific HW models, like the rest of the plugin does.
From the list of delays, I guess I’d like DM-2/DMM, one of the tape delays (something with multiple heads and deeper options would be better), and maybe vintage digital/2290/reverse, or something a bit curveball.

Not having a tape delay is a big omission imo. Works with the amps in questions and is a primary delay type. And the FAS one is so good, particularly when you have access to all the modulation and deep settings.
After that, a DMM would be sweet as a character delay. (Which is what the delay/reverb offerings are missing, a couple things that are quirky/unique/ambient etc)
