Listening to this right now. Digging the POG stuff in the latter half of the video.

octaver effects aren’t something I think to use often, but whenever I do, it’s fun to just riff with a droning low note and some tweedly notes thrown into the mix.
I can’t remember if it’s a factory preset or one of your presets, but I’ve had some fun with the octaver distortion as well.
It would only be fair to model the SSV2 now.
Yeah, I'm sure @FractalAudio is over it to some extent given the number of Friedmans in there already, but that does seem like a ridiculously natural fit. I can live without the JEL, JJ100 or Butterslax. All cool amps, I'm sure, but I've yet to hear a uniquely singular tone demoed from any of them or recorded onto an Alice in Chains, Red Dragon Cartel or Mastodon record.

Leon's Ring Mod octaver hack is super cool for some wobbly faux bass stuff. Lots of fun stuff after you slap a metric ton of verb and delay and modulation on it. \m/

It's totally inconsequential and doesn't matter at all, but the fact that SS is seemingly only using the top row in Axe-Edit is triggering me.

I saw the name of the OP on that thread:Somebody recently posted a thread on the Fractal Forums you might want to check out:
Dominic Miller MESA Lonestar Rig - My Songs Tour 2023 - Fractal FM9 Patch
Hello everyone, I recently saw Sting live and could not get over how good Dominic Miller's rig sounded. He played a telecaster pretty much the entire set through two Mesa Lonestars and 2x12 rectifier cabs (in stereo). His main tone was pretty clean and compressed--yet it still sounded full and...forum.fractalaudio.com
and immediately thought of this! :)

You are very much mis-characterizing that.
They were just lifting the content and moving it to their own server.
New Community Tool/Resource
Hi everyone! Over the past couple weeks I have been working on what could be the successor to Yek's Guide to the Fractal Audio Amplifier Models. I found myself playing around in a certain framework again and needed a project to work on. After some thought, I had an idea for a companion site of...
It wasn't the wiki. They took literally @yek's amp guide and put it on a website they owned. Verbatim.
For everyone who shit's on the wiki I say to you: put up then. It's a community resource and, honestly, it exists through the hard efforts of @yek alone.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Well their website is dead, so I can’t argue one way or another. I still don’t understand the hubbub. It was a free, public repackaging of a free, public repackaging of a bunch of free, public posts.You are very much mis-characterizing that.

If I remember rightly, this was what caused me to start my piss take thread called "Is there anything in the QC that wasn't stolen from something else?" thread, and got me banned for "provocative" posting.

It's what I always say about you. That provocative British gentleman, always stirring the pot and making people think and question their preconceived notions in this world.

Video made me want to unpack the FM3 waiting for the Axe.
Such a great video, because a lot of your blocks I just sort of use, but never really dug too deep in to the settings. Awesome hearing you walk through the how and why for each of them. Those Dual Detunes and Detune Delays are epic, but I think I’ve overlooked the Quad Detune, that was tasty.
The POG sounded great. I think my problem was likely shoving the Pitch block after the cab, and not moving it before the amp when specifically wanting to do the Pog thing. Having two pitch blocks with the Axe will make this seamless. Those filter block settings I’ll have to revisit. That’s some doctorate level shit I would not have thought to try. Sounded awesome, and it makes a lot more sense after watching/hearing someone running through it.

Orvillain Thundercunt sounds like a villain in a rated R reboot of Harry Potter.

That’s not how it works.
The original content was not a "repackaging of a bunch of free posts" -- the author was the same in both cases. It was their IP and it was stolen. The website creator didn't even credit the source of any of the information until they got blasted for ripping it all off.
Edit: correction, the author @yek, gave permission for the content to be repackaged as a PDF.

The preface of the amp guide, written by simviz, very clearly states the guide is a collection of yek’s various forum posts on dedicated amp models.
