Ok here is the VP4 PARALLEL FREEZE block version just like the one above for the fm9/fm3/axefx3. I copied my block settings from fm9 turbo mkII over to vp4 and sounded pretty much the same! Enjoy! Same instructions apply when it comes to using expression pedal for it.

FIND IT - RIGHT HEREEEE

BLOCKS!

The thread on the Fractal forum about the Axe-FX III surviving a drone strike has disappeared. Anyone know anything more about that?

I noticed that too. Perhaps it got too political, which seems to be a no no there.

That bites! What a story!! I saved the pix if anyone wants them ;~)) I also wrote a song called "The Fractal Soldier" built around the story and sent it to the OP who claims to have very much enjoyed it. For those of you who were not hip to the story, Fractal forum member tomark1881 lives in Kyiv Ukraine. A few weeks back, his apartment was hit by a drone strike and an ensuing fire. He lost all of his guitars (I have those pix as well) but his Axe FXIII survived. It has some connectivity issues, but does work. G66 allowed him to send it in for repairs. Some did start making political comments, but I think those individuals should be sanctioned, not the whole thread! Oh well, I don't know what may have transpired that I did not see so I will hold my judgement but very much a compelling story from the OP and a great hoorah for Fractal ;~))

The mod responsible could've created an explanatory post and closed the thread, condemning the war and wishing the best for the member and for Ukraine, but they didn't do that, and that concerns me.

True but maybe the original person that made the post deleted it for some reason unknown?

You mean the first post of that thread? Hmm, I didn't think a user could delete an entire thread, even if they started it, but that's a hopeful idea.

I was wrong. I just went and looked at a thread that I made on that forum and you definitely can't delete the original post but you can delete post afterwards.

Thanks for looking.

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.

If you do things the right way, the Auto impedance will adjust for the specific pedal.

They aren't all the same... And I seem to think 32k is more common but I didn't really analyze, just casual observation.

You can delete your own thread if there have been no replies.

As soon as someone replies you can't.

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!

It was Meet the Cyrinthians or something related to that spelling. I spent a lot of time on the Eruption preset yesterday too.

Today was a clean fender funk day

Of course. But once the impedance is set, it's set.

The post I was replying to quoted Cliff stating "no digital device will do a fuzz properly because the input impedance is nonlinear". The guy then asked what the point of having variable input impedance is. I was using a specific value to show the difference between variable-but-static as compared to Cliff's point about analog fuzz pedals:

"The Fuzz Face has a very low input impedance that will change with the position of the RFUZZ potentiometer (between 5.2KΩ and 8.4KΩ". Without massive added expense, you're never going to get an input circuit on a digital modeler that has this kind of granularity of impedance setting especially that references the settings on the pedal model. But setting it to a value of 10k gets to a fuzz face model that works pretty darn close to a real fuzz face for all but the die hard "I've used this one pedal for ages and know how it responds to this guitar so would rather run my real fuzz" folks.

Tone is in the Impedance !!

Tone is in the Impedance !!

I mean, it DOES make a huge difference, especially with passive single coil pickups.
