What's Your Favorite Drive in the Fractal, and How Do You Use It?

[Boudoir Guitar]

All in front of black panel clean style amps:

Micro amp - use it to sound like an edge-of-breakup deluxe reverb when I want that sound without sag.

Nobles: same when I want a little smoother sound and/or if I want a smooth but fairly amp like lead sound.

AC Boost - when I want a pretty mid-forward, bass-slaughtered lead sound that sounds like a pedal and not an amp.

Mostly I just use amps for distortion, though. It’s just better.

Dude I have specifically gone out of my way to not run the AxeFX in 4CM with my amps specifically because I know it’s going to ruin the fun of buying pedals and screwing around with my pedal board builds. I haven’t even run it through a cab because I think that will probably extend to ruining my desire to keep buying amps. I don’t want to accept that all I probably need is an FC12 with the Axe and then to choose my own adventure from there (4CM w/amp or direct to PA and CAB)

That is bumming me out just thinking about it.

I did that about 6 years ago and look how I turned out.
