No idea what it was like in person but I imagine it would have sounded a little more natural if you mic'ed it instead as dry patches are made to incorporate room noise but you would probably emulate that on direct patches for recording otherwise it sounds a little ... unnatural.

      Well stated Doc. To choose one or the other would limit creativity.
      Myself, for the last 46 years of playing I've been a analog-guy, that said, I'm totally open to these newer digital rigs.
      My only complaint, I've been playing through the same Fender Twin Reverb I purchased new back in 1976, I just can't imagine these modern processors lasting that long without totally failing. Again, that just goes to my age and mind-set, newer products are not designed to last very long as regular updating of equipment is now the norm. Phones, computers and even vehicles are no longer designed to last very long as they'll be left behind due to technology advancements.
      And that is my crux, I have a difficult time spending what some would consider a significant investment for a product designed to be replaced within 5 to 10 years.
      All that being said, the flexibility and creative possibilities are amazing, not to mention that Twin Reverb of mine isn't getting any lighter to carry!

    I played a modeler straight to PA with a symphony in Puerto Rico
    ... and what Guthrie says about the sound guys and stage volume is bang on. You just have to remember to use the high and low cuts otherwise you're going to get a lot of foul looks from the sound police. The hardest part of the gig was knowing full well that what I was hearing through my in ears was NOT what the audience was hearing. That was a little alienating, but if you're a "pro", you'll ride it out and concentrate on playing the right notes with the right picking dynamics. That's what really matters.

That being said, digital is so versatile and simple, it really makes sense for any situation where you’re playing through a decent sound system.

    Time to step up the game for Rig Rundowns when modelers are involved.
    For example, an AxeFx can be (and often is) the whole artist's rig, similarly to this case.
    Even though it is contained in a single unit, conceptually it is still a signal out of a guitar and into a rig made of pedals, amps, cabs, microphones, just like a real one.
    Artist : "I'm using an AxeFx (or any other modeler)"
    PG:
    Q1 "what amps/models are you using, what for?"
    Q2 "Are you trying to reproduce the rigs/tones used on X album or do you have a different approach?"
    Q3 "Stock IR cabs, Third party, custom made by yourself, what cabs and speakers?"
    Q4 "For rhythm/lead/clean work, do you switch patches/amps or keep the same one but turn on/off pedals, boosters etc, or do you use mainly your guitar volume to control saturation?"
    Pretty much the same as a physical rig.
    Considering how much time Guthrie spent toying with this unit during lockdown, his unique and varied experience, the way he plays, and how articulate he is when explaining what he does, this could have been a goldmine of information (and also huge advertisement for Fractal Audio :D ).

      Well to be fair, Fractal already is used in countless Arena and Stadium rigs around the world (Metallica, Deff Leppard, Journey). It's hard to beat honestly. Every amp and effect in the world at your disposal, and they are 100% consistent in sound nightly with zero maintenance. And for small tours like the Aristocrats, you can't top the convenience of being able to carry your whole guitar rig around in a backpack. Especially when most of their gigs are fly-in one nighter's or single bus tours that are hitting smaller venues.

    • @brianjones8432
      @brianjones8432 2 роки тому

      It has nothing to do with how busy or technical the music is. It's all just a matter of how good the Amp modeling is now. And Fractal has nailed it. Guys like Neil schon from Journey, Phil Collin and Viv from Deff Leppard are all using essentially this same rig in arenas and stadiums as well. You can't beat being able to carry around this kind of versatility in tone, and you can't match the consistency with tube amps.

      The fact it's Guthrie - that, and his work with Mr Zimmer (no less) would be more than enough to put him to the top of the queue. Think of the publicity fractal can now use. As he said, he's doing this purely because this was his setup on the Zimmer tour - it worked there so he's happy to test it here (some fans will object). Mark Knopfler has also just gone digital too (uses Kemper - so not true digital...uses real amp 'snapshots'). Me? - I'm old school, and there's still too much of a difference - you can't beat standing on stage in front of a good tube amp cranked....food for the soul. That Guthrie will use real amps for his next album tells you where his preferences lie.

      @JavyonVISION 2 роки тому +1

      @@ChrisM541👍 I fully agree... and of course was kidding about the waiting list as any company would want Guthrie using their stuff if he would choose to. Real amps are awesome. They are what all these digital amps are mimicking after all, but the convenience and versatility and minimal tradeoff for "feel" is what we each have to weigh for our own applications. I love my real amps but my modelers make more sense a lot of the time.

      @@ChrisM541 I'd guess another factor here is that when you are a professional touring musician, but not a big enough act to have a road crew that moves all your stuff around for you, then getting your entire rig shrunk down to the point where you can carry all of it onto a flight without checking any luggage is a huge deal. He can literally carry his entire rig around in a double gig bag for his guitars that he carries like a backpack and a separate little hand bag for his FM9 and expression pedal. That's hugely useful for someone like him.

    I’ve owned a high end modeler for many years but keep it in my studio. I switched to a Headrush Gigboard for gigs and it makes everything much easier. The sounds are more than good enough and setup is easy. I was spending too much time switching programs while performing. The audience doesn’t care about the gear. If you’re playing blues then a tube amp is perfect but if you’re playing a variety of styles a modeler will open up new sonic opportunities.
