I mean we definitely favor FAS over other manufacturers here. Which is fine. But we definitely do

This very thing dawned on me yesterday as I was involved in a discussion thread here. Reading between the lines, the realization came to me that some people here have a background and context that is coloring their views on NDSP that I do not. I was confused about what was going on, but now I understand the reasons behind the tone of some of the discussions here a bit better.

Thank you @Lysander for providing a valuable public service. Neural may be behaving a bit better now, but some things should never be forgotten.
Speaking only for myself. I was never banned from TOP. I left out of disgust at their many layered hypocrisy. Even now, I occasionally surf by and find confirmation that I made the right call.

For the most part, yes it is that simple.

I came here because a lot of my favorite posters from TGP came here and it was a pretty fun and different experience. I would say over time it's gotten more heated but it's still a good hang. Personally I've started to use the ignore function more because I just don't want to engage with some people.
This isn't the first time we've had this kind of clash of opinions especially over NDSP. There was an attempt to split the discussion to a bashing thread vs an owners focused thread, but that ended terribly. Oddly enough I think people's opinions/roles were reversed.
One nice thing about TGF is that it's mostly focused on digital modeling. TGP would often have tube amp truthers crashing discussions on digital gear which was extremely annoying.
Oh, I do go back to TGP occasionally because I never had any troubles there and sometimes it's interesting to get some different opinions but very often it's a bit boring.

I know it's a QC thread, but leaving that part aside, I don't know if it's that simple to make great sounding effects, even if in paper they seem very simple.
If you say "most part" of a delay is create a delayed signal, I agree. But again, to make that sound good it looks like a bit more involved process. The digital delay on my Zoom ms50g would sound the same as the digital delay on a Eventide H9. "If it was that easy, it would be that easy".
This may be something to look forward to - https://www.reddit.com/r/NeuralDSP/s/sc1HTZNKJh
Just an FYI.

Are you playing with captures or models? Of your real amps?I was working on my QC yesterday and made a discovery for myself.
It is also a time-machine. Four hours disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Absolutely not a complaint.

Because I was considering buying another real 5150, I built a pretty simple PV-505 patch on the QC with just the amp block, a parametric EQ cutting 400Hz and 4000 HZ a few db with a narrow Q, and one of the Tone Factor Mesa XR IRs.
I sent that through the PXM-12MPs. I had the PXMs on Monitor 2 mode, +4db volume, treble -3, mid +3 @1000Hz, bass +6.
It was very, very loud and in my bedroom at that level I could imagine I was playing a real amp through my cab. The cab is actually in between the PXMs and has a Badlander 25 sitting on top of it and that visual may have helped but I felt like the tone and feel were there.
I’m pretty sure if I’d actually had the real amp sitting there I’d have felt a difference because those amps are just a special kind of kick in the gut but it’s been a while since I played one so no doubt that helped with the illusion. The point is that I was definitely getting the vibe I was going for and it was plenty satisfying.
Purchase avoided. For now. I’m still a tiiiiiny bit tempted.

OG 5150 is something special. I hadn't played through one in a LOOOOOOONG time. I jammed through one on the first wrestle metal jam back in late October and speakers I wasn't used to aside; that tone was GIRTHYBecause I was considering buying another real 5150, I built a pretty simple PV-505 patch on the QC with just the amp block, a parametric EQ cutting 400Hz and 4000 HZ a few db with a narrow Q, and one of the Tone Factor Mesa XR IRs.

Honestly I think the 515x were my favorite amp models (non-capture) on the QC. They were awesome for sure.

The Rectifier on the QC gets some flack iirc? Am I wrong on that?

Didn’t gel with it tbh, but might have been user error. Still think amp models were (are?) hit or miss, whereas good captures, though, always delivered.

If SW wasn't the only vendor who carries them in the States; I'd have the Mini and be taking it for a spin. I'm not pre-ordering anything.
