i spent 2 days doing every single SM57 location/angle combination of HX recto cab when the new line 6 cabs came out

You need help.

i meant "get them off" to also use them somewhere else lol not just "delete dis" i spent 2 days doing every single SM57 location/angle combination of HX recto cab when the new line 6 cabs came out

You could export them using Fractal Bot, but you’ll only be able to use them with other Fractal devices in any case.

That I don't know.......I thought you meant they were locking up the unit.......at least that's what the pretty picture indicates......

AC-30 Brilliant and one of the Brit 800 models, pitch block, plex delays

Did a little programming this morning/last night..

I reverted back to using geek mode on this midi captain. It's not as cool as the super mode but at least I can program the thing right on the pedal itself. I was attempting to program super mode via text editor last night when I already had a headache, and I was chasing my tail. Beer may have been a factor.

So far I've got two pages:
Three external controller switches along the top and a tuner switch, with three presets along the bottom and tap switch. Page two has 8 switches for scenes.

The tweakability is awesome and although I haven't matched my Helix tones 1:1, after a while I didn't really try too hard anymore because what I was hearing was great. I might dig around into some more amp models to see if i can get that midrange compression of the HX Badonk. FAS Modern has a little of that but it isn't "out front" like the Badonk.

If you are able to get close but not quite there on the Fractal you might want to try the tone match feature.

Good shout but I've tried to tonematch this behavior with other software and it doesn't do the thing. NAM gets close. It's more of a feel thing rather than a sound.

Moot point anyway as the FAS Modern II gets me those compressed mids. I've actually gone overboard with the deep parameter tweaking and exaggerated the shit out of that sound, to the point that it made it unpleasant and I used the input EQ to dial it up/down.

I'm in love! No gaps between preset changes. I could live in these 3 presets using the channels for different variations of the same amp model without even touching controllers or modifiers.

My only hurdle at this point is my fuzz sound. It's about 80 to 90% there

I also found out that if I massage the Master Feedback and Motor Speed of some of the tape delays, I get the oscillating pitch variance I missed!

Only the fourth day of ownership and only one hurdle left........I'd call that a win!

There's a lot to Discover In the fractal Verse
For me there's nothing I can't recreate so far ...

So was watching Cooper Carters video on his Rosanna patch from Luke
and wow Is there that much difference in CPU HP from and AXE FXIII to a FM-9


Same patch and settings on my FM9
View attachment 42285

And Coop's patch on AXE FX III


View attachment 42288

thats almost Double
Is that Normal ??

Yes the FM9 is pretty much 50% of the A3

True, but the Reverb and Delay run on a dedicated core so that CPU doesn't count.

Just downloaded that preset......he must have a turbo.....it's at 50% on my Mark I.

Most likely...

That's one thing I miss using modelers versus pedals---especially analog. That creative and
instantly gratifying manipulation of sound. No ones bending over to tweak their modeler
on the floor, are they?

Heck, I have often thought about some kind of add-on that is not the FC-6 or 12 and instead
includes knobs for assigning modifiers to manipulate the sound more readily. The all knobber!

Yes.

That's what the knobs are for:

I may have asked you this before, but why run both units??

I can do more.

I run kitchen sink presets. So I'll stay on one preset all night and treat it more like a traditional rig. Bringing effects in and out on a whim as we play a gig. I use scenes for some quick access to a bunch of things on at once. The life of a musician playing in a band that's got a heavy bit of improvisaiton to what they do.

I offload all the drive block work to the VP4 and that frees up a bunch of CPU. I also use the VP4 for wild combinations of strange things. Like pulling up the Zapped preset on it...

Everything is programmed, assigned rest is all footwork I dont like to bend down

Rolling around on the floor is for the young and the drunk. And I am no longer either of those.

i can't bend down, if i do i'll need a life alert necklace to call someone and say "help i've fallen and can't get up".

You've also got the global and per-preset performance pages. That's 16 assignable knob-able paramater controls as well.

I spend half my day either crouched down to talk to children, bent over to serve them food, on the floor changing their diapers, or folded into one of those plastic Playskool picnic tables.

These kids keep me young!
