Do Line 6 and Fractal do component level modelling?
Yes, they do.

CheersYes, they do.
I wish this was more clear too. I’ve always assumed that modeling ideally captured each component and pot variation in the chain of tone. Captures captured a moment in time with X,Y and Z settings along with Cab.I need something clarified, but a profile is static right? It's a shot of an amp at particular settings? Now I realise there's a tone stack in the kemper etc, but those won't behave in the way the profiled amp will?
Do Line 6 and Fractal do component level modelling? I think I remember reading something years back about strymon not trying to ballpark the output of a given analogue unit, but the DSP actually modelled the circuitry at component level.
I think you know what you like when you hear it though. And sure, it’s a subjective thing.With so many of these companies, it seems to me that there is a "something" to their distortion itself, which is common across every amp they model. And a different company will have a different version of that "something"...REALLY different to the point that I cannot get them to sound or behave similar
Every time I start thinking about this stuff, I get into rabbit holes that terrify the rest of the company, especially those holding the purse strings.
Buy a Bias Amp. Done.I have a very specific for instance....
Putting asbestos suit on
I REALLY love the sound of the 5150 in Bias, I fully understand it sounds nothing like a 5150, that's not the point.
I have tried like hell using eq's, matching eq's, capturing eq's into IRs and everything else i could think of. i can't even get it close in Helix, and I'm not sure why.
I can immediately get this sound using revalver's (or whatever the next version is called) capture system, I can immediately get it using audio assault's capture. These two as far as I know are not a dynamic capture system which (I think) people claim about the kemper and neuralQC
I'd love to get this sound on the helix and I figure I should have been able by now after owning it for a year or so, but I still epic fail
Yeah, that will fit in my helix and work exactly the same functionally as the Helix does. You know Helix isn't just an amp right?Buy a Bias Amp. Done.
..or you could buy a car without a sun roof and then constantly complain about the lack of sunroof.So you just have Native, not HX hardware and you want "that" tone in the DAW environment? I mean; I guess I would always err towards what's readily available vs. betting on a wish to come true?
Bias amp has an effects loop. You can dream of the maker of your modeler "modeling" every device, digital or analog, out there to make your life optimally convenient, or you can use the tools at hand and recognize how terrible the world would be if a floor modeler became nothing more than a device that devours all the other gear in the world, including other digital devices.Yeah, that will fit in my helix and work exactly the same functionally as the Helix does. You know Helix isn't just an amp right?
The emotion is the fact behind Line6's decision.The appropriate analogy would be to force everyone else to walk when a car is available.
I see the emotion is creeping into what otherwise was a fact finding mission
