NAD: Friedman JJ Junior Head

[Jarick]

But those amp models in the Fractalverse are not one-to-one models of the amp you are comparing it to.

No, but seems like they should be closer than they are.

I think I’m fighting this as well even with a Suhr RL

I wouldn't say I'm fighting it, if I do a simple high cut at like 8k it pulls out the fizz. The Suhr RL may be a little more accurate in the highs but I wouldn't call it overly fizzy.

As far as being loud is concerned, my AC10C could blow my windows out and have the neighbours calling the cops if I crank it, let alone the Terrors. The Fireball 25?!? Master never goes above 8 o’clock. Tube amps are loud.

50w is about the same. I have to be careful with the Master Volume on the Crunch channel.

Someone on TOP a long time ago told me (or someone in the thread I read) that I would never be satisfied with tone until I had big iron, lots of glass and a 4x12, even if the Master Volume is at whisper levels.

A 3 channel 100w head and a 4x12 with greenbacks is now my next gear goal, depending on availability in Oz and my savings.

Sick as a dog but decided to make one of my old comparison tracks today if you're into that kind of thing. Friedman JJ Junior vs IR-X vs Axe FX 3 vs NDSP Plugin?

Sure why not! If it distracts you from the illness

Alright everything's recorded and roughly mixed, break for breakfast and then figure out how to put it into a video.

 

[Jarick]

Blind shootout or no?

 

[Badonkey Kong]

Blind shootout or no?

I vote no. lol

 

[Mongillo19]

Probably don't even need to make a video. You could just post the clips

 

[Jarick]

Decided on a video because Soundcloud is being a pain in the ass. May upload there later as the video isn't quite as high resolution for audio possibly? But curious what people think.

I liked the amp the most but in the mix it was hard to tell.

I absolutely did not like the IRX and the NDSP was just okay. I thought fractal did a good job although a little darker/looser

One thing I noticed was the wave forms were really clipped with the load box. I think that's something that maybe the Suhr Reactive Load could be a big improvement on, which would help the dynamics. But the amp has a nice presence to it.

God help me, the matching cab is for sale five minutes from my house.

I will stay strong...

Go get her, it's only money.

Great amp! I've had a couple of them over the years since they were out.

You know what would make that even better.....

The matching cab!
