I mean we definitely favor FAS over other manufacturers here. Which is fine. But we definitely do![]()

Okay this is a legitimate question. I think am just realizing something I think maybe should have been obvious before now but I’m not really sure if this is correct.
Is this forum being created directly related to the fact that at TOP people were getting banned for ripping on NDSP? So this forum was basically started with a primary motivation being the freedom to rip on NDSP without consequence?
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.Okay this is a legitimate question.

For the most part, yes it is that simple.But is it that simple? I don't know. Sure, making the effect should be easy enough, making it sound good on the other hand doesn't look as simple. I have zero knowledge on the technical aspect, but playing through a few of these effects on different units, even EQ, just aren't as close as I'd expect them to be.
Depends on the goal. If it's emulating a specific pedal or just "a multitap delay" which would be a digital delay with multiple delay lines and maybe some basic ass modulation. Versus emulating say multiple tape decks etc.
It's still pretty weird that they have basically abandoned that roadmap of announced devices.

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.![]()

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.
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.![]()



Honestly I think the 515x were my favorite amp models (non-capture) on the QC. They were awesome for sure.PV-505
The Rectifier on the QC gets some flack iirc? Am I wrong on that?Honestly I think the 515x were my favorite amp models (non-capture) on the QC. They were awesome for sure.
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.The Rectifier on the QC gets some flack iirc? Am I wrong on that?
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.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.
