Fractal Talk

DrewJD82 said:
I dunno if delaying is the right word; Cliff develops on the III then hands it off to the FM9 and FM3 teams to sort it out, Cliff just steps in when they need assistance. That said, I can imagine there’ll be times Cliff is a couple steps ahead of each time and it might make more sense to hold off on a beta for the 9/3 until Cliff finishes something on the III so it all gets incorporated together instead of piecemeal‘ing updates out.

Basically what I was trying to say, but much better stated.

Harsh, bro. Like I said...it's the price I pay for demanding only convergence devices. Cliff can't put all of that muscle car power in any sort of feasible floor version, so I have to have the middle child (FM9).

You mean MORE Fractals. I also have an FM3 and Axe3 MkII. I started with the FM3, but soon realized that I wanted more. The FM9 was introduced about a month after I bought the FM3, but the waiting list for the first run was the typical fifteen year wait, so I went for the rack unit. I have been perfectly happy with it, but about a year ago a friend put together a band just for having fun and playing stuff that we really like. I have been using the FM3 for that, but it’s lacking on a few features that I really like on the rack unit, so here I am…
 
Welp, I sent my faulty FM9 back to Fractal today. I hope I get it or the replacement back next week, but I think it'll more likely be the week after. I don't want to admit how much I already want it back...

I have been playing with the Helix again, and as much as I really don't want to say it (because I love my Helix and the team behind it)... Fractal's amp modeling is on another level. You dig into an amp like the Princeton, and on the Fractal, you hear all these lovely evolving interactions in the distortion that go long after your pick attack. It sounds so organic and realistic. With the Helix, it still sounds pretty good, but it seems like the realism in the models stops evolving much sooner in the sustain and decay. There's also a liveliness in the attack with Fractal that, again, feels really natural and realistic, whereas I have to fight the strings more with the Helix to get the same thing. If I recorded both I think most would have a hard time hearing these differences, but to the person playing it's apparent.
