I am pretty sure wireless doesn't matter as the impedance has to do with the input of fractal and what comes after it etc.. I use wireless too and it changes the tone when I mess with the impedance in my fm9 etc. Some settings not much of a difference and others more drastic but it does change for me. Maybe it doesn't react like a cable does completely but there is a change.

Impedance has to do with how the guitar interacts with the first thing it's plugged into. In my case, I'm plugged into a wireless transmitter that digitizes the signal and that's where the interaction stops.

Try to change input impedance settings with the Fuzz Face first after the input block. You'll hear the dropout due to the option change but no tonal difference. Placebo likely. Try that again with a quarter inch cable in place of the wireless system and the difference will be stark.

Anyway, on the subject of the drives - I've only begun to try things out. There are quite a few model names I'm unfamiliar with so I'm a little lost. I'll get to all of that after I finish Yek's amp guide

It depends on the output impedance of the wireless receiver, if it is very low you won't hear a difference, if it higher and comparable to the output impedance of a pickup you'll definitely hear a difference (but this difference is still different than that of the pickup connected with a cable)

As far as I know, when you use wireless, it acts as a buffer between your guitar and the Axe (or an amp), so you lose that interaction.

There is this https://www.sweetwater.com/store/de...one-dragster-1-channel-load-correction-device haven't tried it myself though.

The Wiki is so useful for reference, quick look ups and in certain cases tips and/or recommendations.

I don't think Fractal can model Fuzzes 100% (even with a hardwired cable) because they depend on the interaction between the guitar and the fuzz itself.

For wireless, IMHO none of them sound like an actual cable so I just look for something that sounds "good". I usually just add a 350pF capacitor to ground on the wireless transmitter cable plug and that gets me somewhere I can live with. The dragster can sort of help by altering the impedance relationship between the guitar and transmitter, but I've found that that is usually OK (around 1M Ohm) on most transmitters already.

Can someone help me get to the bottom of this because I seem to get conflicting information.

Does the variable input impedance on the FM9 and FXIII solve this problem or not? Or does it only partially solve it, in that it’s still not the same as the direct connection between guitar and pedal?

Is this just a totally insurmountable problem for all modelers because the input of a digital device is inherently buffered?
