Fractal Talk

It's like knowing your stomach is only so big and then you go to the most epic Buffet
in town and have to try and ration and pace yourself. Key word is "try."

Great analogy

I really love balsamic dressing, though!!!

I’m definitely putting on some pounds this week; I’ve never seen so much food get dropped off at our office. Each day there’s been cookies, charcuteries, fruit baskets, tenants are having lunches catered they invite us to and tomorrow I have 2 different company holiday parties that I’m looking forward to. FIrst one is a killer italian joint then a Brazillian steakhouse for dinner.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term vinegar strokes.

.... I'll see myself out.

Were it not for the weight, I'd be trying to make this work for my live rig, I think. Maybe with the FC12 on the bottom though. And the FM9 overhanging the FC12 because I wouldn't need it's display in this configuration.

Considering something similar for my FC6 board. Maybe a short "C table" that has a flat base I can slide under the FM9 board for extra stability....

Were there improvements to the drive block in general in this beta?

Yesterday I decided to give up on Fractal for doing the “pedal platform” thing because I just wasn’t liking the drive pedals as stand alone overdrive/distortion.

Today I’d swear the whole block sounds much better and more natural. Maybe my ears were just shot yesterday?

Correct, the whole drive block was updated.

Jesus H Christ on a basket, guys. At some point, you need to start asking yourselves how many footswitches is enough

At least one more, Ms. Swann....

 

[metropolis_4]

Very cool, I thought they sounded a lot better but I couldn’t tell if maybe I was just having one of those days yesterday when nothing sounds good

 

[metropolis_4]

The muffs are really good! They’re missing a little of that splatty gated thing, but they’ve got the vibe and they’re far better than most digital muffs.

Civil War was always my favorite flavor and I hear most of the right qualities in this one.

This is encouraging, looking forward to the official release!

Nope they redid it

It looka like a switch ?

The new dive block improvements and fuzzes are cool.
At last Cliff is experimenting with transistor devices, to me it says (edit: more) solid state amps will come soon.

This is probably the 3rd or 4th "Drive block overhaul", so it's not really a new thing... Although I suspect that (just like with tube amps) his knowledge and methods are expanding.

A lot of times these overhauls seem pretty subtle to me. I’m excited to check this out if you noticed it this strongly without knowing that the drive block was overhauled beforehand.
