That is a huge untapped market. I can’t even count how many times I’ve read of people who have been avoiding modelers due to their complexity and steep learning curve.I think Fender focused too much on newcomers to modelers
I’ll eat my shoe if not every major brand includes capturing in his devices within 2 years, L6, Fender,Fractal. The tech is there, probably easy to fit into existing architecture, zero reason not to. I wouldn’t be surprised if the brands that are too late to compete in the “best marketplace for captures”…choose to embrace an open source like NAM to get some collective counterweight against Kemper/tonex/QC.I keep going back and forth between picking up a QC or a TMP to play with basically, but at the end of the day they both have something I don’t like so I’m just sitting tight for now. I doubt Fender would put capture tech into the TMP, even if they could. Seems like they are totally going for a different market with it.
It doesn't have to be one and the other though. I think QC strikes a pretty good balance where it's above all fast to operate for most things.That is a huge untapped market.

I've still got a hat set aside for if TB3 actually buys an FM9. I have less of a chance of needing it than you do of needing a shoe.I’ll eat my shoe
I would not be surprised if those companies come with their own solution that can maybe leverage neural networks for e.g amp matching or some other way that could combine their existing modeling with the ease of "capture my favorite real amp at these settings". Just adding a "NAM block" is not interesting.Fractal and Line 6 put a lot into their modeling. I can't see them undercutting that willy nilly for a wild West format like NAM that they have little control over. It doesn't have the ubiquity and stability of say, WAV impulse responses yet.
So that leaves yet another proprietary standard to compete with Tonehub, Tonex, Kemper, QC, Headrush, etc.
Not that compelling to me.

Do you mark June 2026 in your calendar?I've still got a hat set aside for if TB3 actually buys an FM9. I have less of a chance of needing it than you do of needing a shoe.
And the quit cornflex?

Don’t worry my friend…you will see the light one day, and all the hip and happening peeps will welcome you with open arms!
