Fractal Talk

[GTR37]

I'm not buying it really. When you compare a real amplifier under load to any of these platforms, the amp modellers are nearly always too polite, not snarly enough, not offensive enough, and not aggressive enough. They are very good, and Fractal is certainly at the top of the pack, but they're still not as good as a real amplifier.

I agree w you
Remember that clip I posted a few pages back the 2203 from Blake
I can use the exact setting similar guitar on the Fractal and I can’t get there

Maxon into 2203 hi
Suhr reactive load curve
York Bogner cab V30 mix
I can even see the settings he is using on the amp .

Now to compare this watching vids of the Synergy syn20 w the Marshall JMP or other Marshall flavours boosted it gets very close

So if all 3 use same
Drive box . Same model amp , same load impedance curve , same or similar Ir
What’s accounts for the differences ?

Updated various default values (and hidden parameters) in Amp block based on new analysis methods. For many amps this improves the feel and makes the amp sound more “open”. Existing presets are automatically updated.

I wonder if this helps with what @MirrorProfiles was describing in the low mids & overall darker tonality than the amps they model. FWIW, that was also my take on the Fractal vs amps back when I had my last unit.

Certainly interesting timing. Curious to check it out

hey psa you can change the knobs on AFX3, not the data knob it's pRoRiEtArY shaft but the others are standard size. these are SP404mk2 knobs from xpowersdesign and midifighter twister knobs from DJTechTool, they are GRIPPY, you can roll them with the edge of your finger from below. went a little crazy last night
