I hate the sliders 🤣, can’t get into it. Modulation stuff would be handy. I think that’s close to how fractal edit works you can right click on things

I doubt we’d ever truly know. I’d honestly say it’s 50/50. I’m sure they were given rough guides but who knows what their approval and checking policy is like. Haven’t heard anyone talk about the presets having gain issues but who knows At least when there’s hardware like the QC they can all stick to that spec and it’s easy to account for

It’s funny seeing how many people instantly dismiss the TMP. It honestly rips for punk and metal as good as anything else out there. If I was still gigging I’d be stoked to use the TMP…. Certainly a lot easier to carry around and tweak on the fly than my axefx2 I was using 🤣

Yeah I mix and match this stuff. Sometimes I want it all in one with nam universal and other times it’s just easier to load up nam standard and something like cabinetron. No silver bullet yet, just depends what I’m doing

Legend thanks 💪💪💪

Yeah it definitely works wonders on gaining up clean and medium gain things. I ran it here into a clean channel and it’s pretty damn convincing for a reasonably cheap pedal

Jump on my discord, should be able to get it going

​@ampspedalspickups my son just hooked up discord I typed your name and nothing comes up

@@ampspedalspickups my son got discord but how do i find you i cant find you ar all

Haven’t used one but only heard great things about it!

While watching samurai pizza cats 🤣

They’re balaguer pickups. They remind me of bareknuckles. Bright passive humbuckers, very cool stuff

BYO pizza and tony hawk pro skater moves

Haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would do the trick, it’s that kind of pedal

Up there with the best for live for sure! If we’re talking about gigging it’s one of, if not the best overall setup

Yeah ive been smashing 90s punk all weekend 🤣

Yeah it’s rad 🛹 🍕

Oh man congrats on all of it so rad! Great photos as well and those basses looked awesome

@@ampspedalspickupsthank you!

Oh man I had like 5-6 more that I ended up cutting for time cause it was just me going…. Woooow…. Woooow 🤣🤣🤣 I saw him there, super cool

For amp sims? Just need a midi pedal of some kind, not sure boss stuff does midi

I’ve got an rme interface. Used to have an audient, both do the trick. Output just to speakers/monitors (I’m using kali lp-6’s but anything works). I do have a separate output that can goto an amp/cab but 99% of the time the sound is just going to speakers for normal room levels

@ thank you for taking the time to respond.

Probably on par with neuraldsp, just different I guess. Has a savage amount of gain on tap which is the main thing, no shortage of chonks

It’s a pretty good sim. I was close to buying the pedal and I’m now happy I didn’t. Kind of cool for a more vintage Marshall sound but it’s not often I reach for it I don’t think the irs are that special. If it’s a quick playthrough I’ll leave them in there but if I was doing something a bit more serious I’d probably disable theirs and use some other ones. Not sure if there’s “mojo” behind them, also haven’t heard anything

Some nice setups there... and yeah I think everything shines in the right time and place. FM3/9 great for gigging, NDSP great as amp sims in Reaper etc, nice one.

I have the deepest respect for fractal and will inevitably grab an axe3 or axe4 if it comes out. But the blinders the fractal community have are pretty insane. It’s hard to deny how easy, fun and approachable a quad cortex or tonemaster pro is in comparison. Things might be lacking 1-5% in the realm of authenticity but it takes no time to build a rock solid patch with effects and dial in the tone you want. The usability of a quad cortex with the in depth modelling of a fractal would be my utopia, but I equally like what the others are doing out there

Would be handy!

I pay for envato for video assets and it’s one of their metal songs, I use it pretty often in videos (can’t remember the name). But yeah essentially stock music not a band… riffing tune

100% spot on Amp sims with an IR sound like amps captured with a mic I also reckon amp sims blasted through a power amp into a cab mostly sound like a real amp blasted through a cab, at least it’s a more even playfield when comparing them in the right scenarios.

Drop A

If you get the pedal and load it all on there then you don’t need to look at the software unless you change things around, so the pedal would be ok (they have their own quirks but are usable) I’d never gig with a laptop running this tonex software thougj

@@ampspedalspickups Thanks, I am looking for a solution that can do vocal and guitar in to a FRFR setup. I see the headrush prime seems like the only real option, but not sure the quality of patches. I like the tonex app sounds, but I agree its a bit buggy and something about the guitar going through an audio interface no matter what I do just doesnt sound right going to any amp or FRFR amp. Thoughts?

Not my wheelhouse but I have heard guys use them and like them, would have to dive into user videos and make sure it all works as expected. I know vocal units are pretty expensive on their own so an all in one is pretty cool. In theory you could do that stuff with an FM3 or Helix and be clever with routing things, but I'd imagine the headrush has a friendly layout for it all

Strive for something better I say. Digital is digital, a plugin should be an easy port and opens up the user base exponentially. The most modern version of ilok plugins don’t get cracked so they’ll be safe on that front. Recording DIs and using plugins or reamping is nothing new, been around for decades. Plugins have just come a long way in the last 5-6 years closing that gap of hardware digital vs plugin digital

​@@ampspedalspickups I don't think FAS is willing to compromise into making a plugin. Developing for their own specific hardware is much more efficient and yields more performance out of if and in the end better results. As for the reamping it used to be a solution to correct problems in the tracks or for someone who didn't have the equipment necessary or desired to send the DIs somewhere to be reamped. Nowadays with those plugins mixing engineers tweak the sound as they mix. IMO it's not a natural process and a mixing engineer worth his salt should be able to work with a proper amped gtr sound without having to trash it and run to the plugin. Great music has been made that way for decades. If you ask me reamping should only be reserved for problem solving. I wouldn't work with an engineer who's first words is "i just need di tracks"...the recording process matters just as much (if more) than the mixing one and the feedback a player gets from his tone affects the performance. you can't isolate one from the other and just slap some plugin that you can easily work into your mix on top. btw there isnt a single plugin that can hold a candle to FAS's modeling. I've been using them since the LePou ones and even before that with some elementary ones and have used almost everything when it comes to amp modeling. they will do in an emergency or if you lower your standard but whenever i try one (even the great neuraldsp ones) and then go back to my axe fx i immediately notice the difference and a more 3-dimensional sound

Who’s arguing? I’m offering my point of view on why a unit like this has less value when you have real amps on one side and plugins on the other side. If you have nothing else they are incredible, if you gig they are incredible. But if you’re in the studio and have a bunch of other things then it’s harder and harder to justify owning one

@@ampspedalspickups if you think paying 1000-1500 bucks per amp is more justified than owning the ones fractal has in the box (not to mention all the effects and drives and stuff) then you have a different idea of what is justified or not than me...

Excellent strawman response, no one ever said that. If you watched the video I praised the fm3 and still do, use whatever makes you happy mate

@@ampspedalspickups i already do mate. didnt need your permission for that. and you did just say that you couldnt justify owning one for the price of 1000 bucks. but you can justify to yourself i assume owning a couple of amps for more than that and only having these two amp sounds...no strawman argument. just the reality you dont like to hear...but you also can use whatever makes you happy. doesnt mean it's a cohesive reasonable argument as i said in the 1st comment it's about your own personal taste which you are entitled to have of course

No matter how you dice it digital amp units aren’t real amps so yes I would rather have a bunch of analog gear around here. For digital solutions I mostly have plugins which have their advantages over a hardware unit. The whole point of why I made this video was to give the perspective that digital units used to be the best way to get these sounds but the reality is plugins have massively caught up and are close enough for digital. If you’re not gigging and have a bunch of real amps as well as a bunch of plugins the fm3 starts to sit in the middle and has the inconvenience of real time recording without the benefit of it being an analog amp. If you can’t see the logic here then I dunno what to say. It’s fine if you don’t agree but it’s the reality of the landscape of plugins and modelling units now

If you're not afraid of the amp then its not real :)

I think you missed the point of the video offering my point of view on owning a bunch of studio equipment and the fm3. No problem with sound it’s great in that regard

Home of prom queen and day of contempt ooof, glad you digging it!

I just tried the ishort link and its working through to Google Drive. Make sure you grab the .wav file for the IR. If it's a complete dud then jump on discord and I can post it there no problem!

It’s the sound of overpriced lattes 🤣🤣🤣

@@ampspedalspickups bang on 😂😂😂 Both Sydney and Melbourne have disappeared up their own arses, for sure.

Legend, such a good combo

Not 100% sure what you mean but reverb is the first one yeah. If what you have is working then it’s all good!

Tonex is a hard one because different profiles can be done at different levels. With an amp sim it’s a lot more straight forward. Have a look at my recent ToneX video and profiles and if you’re into high gain stuff download them from ToneNet and see if they are similar to what I’m getting in the video, should be some kind of starting point But really with ToneX I think it’s just a matter of driving the input level to taste

Based on a Mesa™ Boogie Oversized 4x12 with rare original spec 70 watt Celestion™ V30 speakers. It’s the “Mega Oversize” cab inside of Mikko2 Free

@ampspedalspickups thank you
