Fractal Talk

It helps "emulate" the actual impedance of a guitar.

It "emulates" the input impedance of the first device in the chain (in the virtual Fractal signal chain), the guitar has it's own output impedance...

I dunno......after seven years with the Axe-Fx III and the FC-12, I think I would really miss not having 12 switches available....even at home. View attachment 42884

i dont like having such a big device on the floor. I have a Helix already.

Some of these factory presets are cray-cray! I'm having trouble putting my guitar down.

Yes, you are correct... I was thinking backwards.

To be clear, it is the input impedance of the first active block after the Input 1 block and on the same grid row (or any row below) as the Input 1 block.

And not all blocks are evaluated, such as the Multiplexer.

That sounds like preset 184 scene 3 mystic arps

The stock presets are really good!

Don't forget you can save any block in any preset as well to your block library so you can have that sound for any other preset!

I did a Mystic Arps the other day, amazing preset!

I barely do any switching in my studio so the FC6 works, but after I initially got the FM9 and understood the layout links and everything I was certainly wishing I had an FC12 instead, I just haven't had a legit need to upgrade.

Blocks Huh

FM9-Edit 1.03.10 is now available via auto-update or from our website:
Includes many many more blocks

Weirdly enough, I'm for some reason liking the JCM Studio more than the other JCM's, atm. Sounds really good. Then again, I like the real amp too.

I will say that the FC12 is noticeably smaller than Helix (though still clunky to move around on the floor at home).

But then what’s the point of the variable input impedance?

Setting the input impedance to a static 10k makes fuzzes behave like fuzzes. The Fuzz Face may not “clean up just like the pedal” but it cleans up, and has the right amount of high end roll off to sound like a fuzz pedal.

To the extend a real fuzz pedal’s input impedance is non-linear, it is still in the general ballpark of 10k.
