Guess this belongs here - UAFX Lion and Ruby

Yes, it would be an over reaction. Based on some need to demand exactly what I want rather than on reality and failing to consider not all things meet all needs.

I appreciate your measured response. It was informative as well.

If you are implying ‘I declared some demands’ you got the wrong guy. I shared my perspective as to why they missed an opportunity.

All good man.

Thanks for the historical context’

Yes. Thank you. I feel it is my calling in life to educate people as to what they should want not what they actually want

I pride myself on providing this service both free of charge as well as when it is not even requested

Oh man there's some good discussions here!

I've also gone on the rabbit hunt for the Goldilox (SWITD) solution. Fractal sounded great but wasn't fun to use. Tried a bunch of menu free amp modeling pedals (Simplifier, Iridium, IR-X). Integrated with other effects or multi-effects. Got annoyed by lack of modularity and programmability. Reverted back to all in one modelers (Axe FX 3, Quad Cortex).

I think in my mind I want a single channel amp that can go from clean-ish to crunchy, then add in a few pedals for heavier stuff and effects. In reality, I seem to like a more complex setup that has usually two different amps, then some post-amp effects to really expand the sound. That lends itself to an all-in-one unit like the Fractal or QC.

I consider it "trying too hard to make a digital version that behaves exactly like the original". There is nothing good about the Ruby EQ working only in the Brilliant channel mode for example.

As someone who spent years and years gigging AC30s that’s exactly how I would expect the Ruby to behave, and how I would want it to work.

If I’m on the normal channel of an AC30 I don’t want to mess with anything but a Volume knob, I don’t want the additional work of making sure all the other irrelevant knobs are at the right positions to sound the way it should.

Different strokes…

I appreciate your perspective based on experience and use of the actual amp.
