Fractal Talk

Okay, riddle me this....

Guitar ----> RME UFXII Input 10 set to 'Instrument' mode. Minimum gain is 8dB.

That signal ----> Axe FX III via AES ----> Axe FX III Output 3 ----> RME UFXII Input 11 set to 'Instrument' mode. Minimum gain is 8dB.

Patch is just:

I have to apply 4dB of extra gain to the UFXII in order to get the same signal level as I'm sending out.

Everything panned centre in the DAW. Everything at unity gain in the Axe3 and DAW.
 
Do you have the OUT 3 knob cranked?

Why not keep the signal in the digital domain between AFX Out and RME Input 11?, using AES?

Because I'm testing whether the Axe3 is suitable as a reamp box, and I'm trying to ensure I get the right level out of it that I expect.
 
 
NEW BLOCK ALERT!

Here's one called PHAT for FM9, FM3, AXE-FX 3.

This one is a SYNTH block acting like a PITCH block.

So for those who keep asking for another PITCH block... Well the SYNTH block has you covered for some things!

This does some very cool octave / harmonizing with your original tone. Remember it's monophonic though, so NO CHORDS ALLOWED!

You have 3 voices to play with and 5 oscillators to change your tone with (not counting the 2 noise ones)

PHAT block is set up for voice 1 using SAWTOOTH at 100% and -12 SHIFT for a low end phat octave!

Add a sine or square or whatever to the other voice 2 and to voice 3 at like 75% and 50%

Adjust the SHIFT parameter to something like -5 for voice 2 and 7 for voice 3 and you're in EXTRA PHAT land!

The Mix parameter is set at 25%. Just enough to get a taste of the synth tone along with your guitar tone. Adjust to your taste!

Sounds best when you put the PHAT block before the amp.

ENJOY THE PHATNESS! :D

I have the Synergy itch but I'm wondering how much of a difference I would see between an FM3 amp (power amp modeling off) into a tube power amp vs a synergy module into the same tube power amp. For those who have experience comparing the Fractal models to a tube pre-amp on a scale of 1 - Boonta, how much difference could I expect?
