Fractal Talk

Really excited by what I’m hearing from the amps! It’s still most apparent with bass, Fractal has never sounded so good on bass. There is a clarity and definition now that sounds amazing, especially on lower notes on a 5 string.

The other AC30 models have always sounded too dark to me. I chalked it up to the modeled amp being darker than the AC30s I’m used to playing. This new one is awesome! AC30s are my thing and this might be the best digital one I’ve found!

I’m really excited by what I hear in the /13 models too. The CJ11 sounds so much better. There was something about that model that didn’t sound right before, but it’s there now. This update seems to have enhanced the /13-ness qualities that I love
 
We tried to get the new reverbs in there but the CPU hit would cause much consternation, I reckon.

Those new spring and plate algorithms are resource hogs.
Small price to pay compared with what you and your team have accomplished with the FM3
I'm betting the other companies are scratching their heads saying how that frack did he do this?? again thank you Cliff and team for all the hard work
Fractal is the best consumer product company on the the face of the earth...bar none

Yeah, I’ve seen the gapless switching being brought up in other modeler discussions and it usually starts off with “There’s no way for a company to do it without restricting resources and presets taking a major hit just to speed up the switching”……and the inevitable “Fractal did it” following. Should be interesting to see those discussions now that it’s on the FM3.

One of the replies to Leon's video was something like "I can't believe people are excited about something that should've been there from the start". SMH.

That's a shame, how much of a hit are we talking about?

Would an option be to include them as their own models like "Hog Spring Medium" on the FM3, so they become a deliberate "Damn it, I'll sacrifice 50% of the CPU to have a killer reverb!" option for some "person, guitar and amp" type super simple presets?
 
Gapless switching and songs/setlists has me thinking it might be time to trade my FM9 for an FM3…
You said you love reverbs though and that the pre reverb update wasn't up to par 😀

Just keep an eye on the FAS forum and snag a used one. They go for crazy cheap sometimes. Saw one for $650

I thought about that or just use a separate preset but maybe the resources required are not just cpu or it can’t be implemented the same way
 
We’ll see. I was originally thinking about an FM3. The only reason I went FM9 at the time was because of the gapless switching. Otherwise the form factor of the FM3 is better for me
True, for you Met Form factor is important and well no Spring Reverb might be a small trade off, I use the golden plate but before i always used the London and it was amazing as was the north and south churches, think there are plenty of reverbs that will work really well

PS you could have both :pickle
