Nobels coming in the Axe

[fretworn]

I was having a "let's talk shit about how hard our lives are" coffee with a dad of another autistic kid in my son's class and he described his son as being "the scorekeeper for an intense multi-year, class-wide competition that nobody but him knows is going on" which made me laugh and also immediately think of D&M forums.

Pretty flippin’ insightful remark …

Hopefully at some point we all learned that regardless of the game, you still gotta do you

Ugh. I just lost The Game.

Well for certain, there is an end to Earth school for all of us … After that …

He did, but he was doing that on principal basically suggesting that you can roll your own in a Fractal easily.

No... There was much more to it than that.

Nice! I guess two competitors having one now pushed it over the cliff

I love the ODR! Especially with a Tele or a Strat into a Fender amp.

Last year I was using the ODR a ton with my /13 JRT and that was a great combination too!

The Game is my retirement fund.

Moreover, Fender's TMP contains a Nobels ODR-1BC. I suspect that may have been the one in Cliff's graphs.

Yeah, I’m really curious about that too, as well as the Klon model comparison. I’d be surprised if Helix were much off the mark, because a number of people have done A/B comparisons with both of the real pedals to the Helix models, and it’s near indistinguishable. I suspect both are the TMP.

I also enjoy the slight hint of amp-like compression.

It can very well be the QC. Cliff uploaded a number of aliasing and latency measurements for it a couple years ago... which weren't great.

Ooooh... Charts and Graphs Redux

Latest measurements. Purple is Axe-Fx III. Blue is a new thing. Aliasing is especially poor in the high frequencies. Usually the aliasing spectrum is sort of flat (like the Axe-Fx). With this product the aliasing increases with frequency which is odd. Model used was JCM800. All controls...

The world suddenly makes sense to me now somehow.

From what I can now realize Being a more experienced Fractal users, there is not much need of OD
Everything is in the amp and cab blocks

Wrong? Pedal clipping is way different than amp clipping.

Yes but I find I get what I need with those 2 blocks
And as always no right or wrong we all use what works for our individual needs

What the learned gentlemen said ^^^

Fuzz Face into a Plexi is and nothing like "just a Plexi".

I would love an accurate fuzz factory model

Hmmm, interesting. It definitely doesn't appear to be Helix Native, because this is Helix's Klon with "everything at noon," with a full sine sweep from 20 to 20kHz. Looks pretty clean.

(The shape is different than Cliff's plots because the freq scale here is logarithmic, while his was linear Whoops, no his isn’t. Didn’t look close enough. My bad! I had some wonky settings in SPAN for this—fixed here):
