Fractal ICONS Plugin

I'm still confused - Is that saying that while it isn't a "true" graphical representation of an amp, it has knobs you can tweak?

Yep.

You get a thumbnail of what the amp or whatever looks like, then a "magnified view" of the knobs/switches you would tweak. And if you suck using a mouse to turn those precisely, you just click on the numerical value underneath each knob and manually type in whatever you want it to be.

Wow, didn’t see this coming at all. Anxiously awaiting the FAS models, Mesa’s and it’d be SICK if in the Marshall grouping there’s like a virtual ‘mod bench’ where you can tweak your own Marshall circuits. Maybe have some popular Jose mods via drop down menu and once they’re loaded you can tweak the values, putting all the mod-areas in one menu page.
 
There's an actual, clickable value underneath each of the knobs?!?!
For interface input calibration.

For example, Neural’s plugins are designed for 0dBFS=12.2dBu my RME interface has 13dBu of headroom. I leave it at zero and dial in 0.8 db of gain in the plugin (or I could do it on the interface) and Im done, never have to worry about it again and all the amp models respond exactly as the manufacturer intended it to be. Theres no need for me to strum along with a reference track if I know the value, which Im sure its helpful for people who arent in the weeds and/or dont know their interface values or want to get into it, but Id rather just enter the value.
 
Looks great. Fits right in line with the other offerings, and it's awesome that it can run as a standalone app. Well done and congrats!

Love this bit!

Uh, Fractal Audio Interface?

Oh fuck. an Icon pack with just the FAS stuff would kick ass.
 
@2112 just made it into an echelon no other guitarist has as of yet, not even Petrucci; shredding over a Floyd track is usually an automatic NEXT for me, but I was happy with the end of the Icons vid. :rofl
 
Do Fractal hardware owners get a discount, like Line 6 did for the Helix Native? I bought it for $99 and this was probably the best plugin deal ever.

It would be a great option... not to feel having to pay "twice". Re-amping does exist, so I wonder how many Fractal owners will buy these products ?

You missed out, Native was free to Helix hardware owners for quite a while.

I’ll be getting some of the packs, and I’m still ordering the AM4 this week, since Cliff personally promised me they’d be in stock soon ;)
