Plus, the threads lose any continuity that would've been part of other posters' replies to his posts.
It's hard to make sense of a thread that's had posts removed.

He got on the waitlist back in January so he should have it by now....
I got on the waitlist also, but never got an invite to purchase it. I just bought one off the website last weekend, didn’t even know that was an option until I went on fractal forum and asked if there was a reason why people who got on the list after me were getting invites before me.
So he may never have gotten his invite.

I’m gonna try it without, we’ll see how it goes I can always add one later. I’d really like for my footprint to not be as wide as what it currently is with the helix plus a small additional pedalboard. Now, if you can figure out a convenient way to do that riser setup I might be able to get the best of both worlds. I tried to figure out a simple way to do a riser without making something big and custom last week but couldn’t figure anything out.

I wrote a post that didn't make sense, and couldn't figure out how to delete it.
Nothing to see here....keep moving...

Yea, that's where my idea has stalled out as well.

I'm struggling with low tunings (7 string ) and gain. Everything is just flubby even boosted and using the 6505 model. How do bands with excessively low tunning get such a focused and crushing sound?
Is there more post production than "traditional" tunings? Is it just my weak technique? Thoughts?

Can you share more specifics? String gauge? Tuning?
Using an Lo Cuts or High Pass in the Amp or Cab Block?
Probably dial back the gain. Every 7-string or downtuned guy whose patches I've been able to examine on either Fractal, Helix or QC (e.g. Wes Hauch, Justin McKinney, Misha Mansoor) have only moderate gain on their rhythm sounds.

Gain is around noon on the Peavey block letter so I think it's at a good level but I'll try and see about double tracking!

Go to the Input EQ tab on the amp and turn up the Low Cut parameter. Turn it up quite a bit. Should more than tame it.

I'll have to check the string gauge, 80 9000 cut/pass!
I need to try it in a mix so all my complaints could be for nothing
And I'm trying to go for that knocked loose tone and to me it's just so

To a degree, there’s some ‘playing the sound’ involved with those lower tunings. Add in a pinch of smoke and mirrors of the kick drum being louder than anything else, imposing the sound of everything being super tight into the music. The playing is definitely super tight, but the tones aren’t always.
And not even using something modern as an example, I thought this guitar tone-
…would be tighter sounding than what they actually are
I know he used a Mark IIC+ on this album, but that sounds like a whole lotta sloppy Recto to me, just played by Petrucci. What I meant by ‘playing the sound’, the isolated track might be a good example; almost everywhere where it sounds like he’s doing a hard palm mute on the full recording, he’s really not muting all that much, but letting each thing he plays kinda hang there, especially right before the guitar solo. It sounds palm muted as hell in the full recording, but it’s clearly not. It’s not until it goes into the riff from “The Mirror” that he does the hard palm mutes in the whole song.
So just turn your kick drum up and play tight, you’ll be good to go!
