That bandit had amazing gain sounds though....if you plugged into a better cab.... especially for back then. IMO

I sorta kid, there were some quite usable tones. And yes, cab makes a big difference. The RG100 sounded particularly great through an old 4x12 Marshall 1960 basketweave.

I had a Valvestate (hybrid), Bandit and the RG100.. are you sure we want to model those?

Yes, if anyone can 'archive' an accurate fully functional digital replica of these amps is Fractal, it's more than about having another model to play with. Maybe Line 6 can too but their current gen format is limiting them.

I suppose if enough people request them it could happen. I'm not sure the technical process of modeling would be anymore difficult, but you certainly would know more about this than I would.

My guess is they just don't have a ton of interest in procuring the amps and modeling them to satisfy a very small niche of people who want them. Most buy the Fractal for tube amp simulation.

How many people have been begging for a GK 800RB for years and years? It hasn’t been such a small niche when it comes to bass players, but bass is always ignored by Fractal

BTW - I think the xxxxxxxx issue is massively overstated. I never had a problem with it personally.

xxxxxxxxx:

1. Footswitch gap, or...
2. Touchscreen sensitivity, or...
3. Power supply robustness, or....
4. Power supply noise, or.....

a lot of those iconic solid state amps are on far more big selling albums than most of the boutique stuff on amp model lists. I’d definitely appreciate having some accurate models of Randall’s and 8100. Isn’t the JMP-1 and JC120 in there already?

I don't want anymore amps.

Speaking of using the III and amp together. 5153 with AXE for effects and cab. Happy with it came out!

I don't want anymore amps.

Except the 5153.

It's when you want to change up your routing

Because that's easier with pedals?

Hard disagree there...

I notice you didn't quote the foitswitching part

 

[aivoryuk]

Agree. The Bogner tones are already there in spades on the Synergy. Absolutely choice.

Really like the Synergy Bogner Ecstasy module - a more complex sound and very rewarding once dialled in.

Well, I don't have any problem with that although some people do...

I've been thinking, maybe the lack of much requested solid state amp models is because Fractal doesn't have accurate enough algorithms for solid state components and complex circuits yet?
There are some solid state amps from the 80s and 90s that are as iconic in metal music as some of the most iconic tube amps.

I'm going to accept that personal conclusion until I'm proven wrong by playing a kick ass Fractal amp model of a Valvestate 8100, Peavey Bandit and a Randall RG100.

I see what you’re up to. Cliff gets hundreds of requests for new amp models. Reframing your desired amp model request as a challenge might get his attention.

Can’t let you say that until they bring back the Cornford RK100 into a future update

 

[pipelineaudio]

If you don't model the Gorrilla G10 I'm not buying

but but but blasphemy!

People would croak if they realized how many of these "iconic guitar tones" are guitars right into the mixing console, sometimes without even a DI....Even some distorted ones!

 

[TubeStack]

Except the 5153.

And the Electra Dyne.

Cliff can't do it because he doesn't have the technology yet.
To captures every harmonic nuance in a complex arrangement of so many crystal lettuces working together to any degree of accuracy is humanly impossible.
I'm afraid the majestic tones of these records is out of reach for us forever.

Joking aside, I would like to save custom impedance curves because they a huge part of the final tone.
