Hybrid Rig Setups!

That's a strange looking organ. I can see it has sliders like a Hammond but never heard of those Boogie organs before.

It’s limited edish

I might be a little more sensitive to latency, than I've ever cared to measure or dig into.

Interestingly enough, when I play my HX devices, standalone, using only modeling, even with just headphones or IEMs, there's something in my fingers that just doesn't feel "right". I'm not sure that's latency though.

Conversely, if I use those same devices, either in 4cm or in front of an amp, (tube or analog/ss), I don't have that same feeling, and don't have to exert as much "effort" to play, than if I were just using modeling and nothing else.

Your background is the shot of my Mark III I took last year, awesome!

I knew I got it on this forum and I forgot where lol - awesome picture dude

I need to do some cable management but this is my hybrid system.
Analog Pedalboard ->synergy -> fryette power station -> fractal FM3

So realistically, what's better about the Synergy setup vs just using FM3 -> Fryette?

You cannot get "realer" than the real thing, but "better" is totally subjective.

The FM3 is a fantastic bit of kit - but when I’ve done a/b comparisons with the real setup - the fm3 doesn’t sound as open. Like some box mid frequencies etc.

The real setup works with all well captured IR’s - I don’t feel the need to notch anything out.
Psychologically there are no updates and that is a big hurdle.

Could I live with just the FM3? Absolutely

If I have enough latency, I will break strings.

Not with digital gear, but for the occasional, playing-outside-far-away-from-my-amps-using-a-wireless, (it's fucking awesome! I have these woods behind me, and the guitar reverberates through the trees!) I tend to dig in to compensate, knowing full well what the issue is.

The first time I played on a big stage and had less than stellar monitoring it ruined me. I
was utterly lost the whole gig. Late. Early. Overcompensating.

I learned then that placement of monitoring is MASSIVE when you have that much room.

And that you also need a more guitars in the Drummer's Monitor Mix than on a smaller/tighter
stage.

That show was brutal, and we were SO excited beforehand. Just green and unprepared for the reality
of it.

Oh, nice upgrade on the Pic.

Wow! I can imagine how that would mess with your playing!! I'd be constantly trying to play faster/harder.

Then I'd probably be like, "Where's my amp? I gotta go get close to my amp!"

Currently in my mancave, KPA profiles of the preamp of this amp: (captured via the fx loop)

Into the return of these 2:

Live I use the QC, running captures of the same preamp into (whatever) combos I bring…or in 4cm with the Dumble clone.
What is an interesting observation in 4cm: wether I use the capture or the actual preamp…don’t matter to me at all.

My usual mancave setup is this (with a cab not in the picture on the other side of the room)
Same preampcaptures into an Engl 2x50 el 84 powersection.

So I use digital preamps instead of full models into tube power/cab…I can’t imagine ever going back on that tbh.
If you have the gear to try it…highly recommended!
