If anyone wants a (very) lightly used pair of Ollos, PM me. They didn't really fit my ears well enough to work comfortably.
Which model?

Yeah... somethin' like thatIs this fact checked? Lol
More than happy to be corrected by someone who knows better. I know I don’t like fizz, which I define as a kind of radio static sound, so I tried to dial it out and then struggled in the mix. I should find that quote from Cliff regard fizz, I may have misread/misunderstood, but I took it to mean it was counterproductive to obsess over your isolated tone if what you really need is to cut through. Perhaps I’m making a false conflation of ‘fizz’ with general high-end content (perhaps “sizzle )Fizz is a high-end issue that's been around for over 4 decades. An early example (c. 1982) would be Scorpions No One Like You.
Okay, but what's your point? I was responding to the claim that fizz is essential for cutting through a mix and that it's what well-mixed guitars sound like. There may be examples of well-mixed guitars with fizz, but there are plenty of examples without it, hence the list.

IDK, Diezel VH4 was my go-to from about 2005-2015, and I'd say the Fractal model is pretty close to how I remember it... maybe I missed it, what's the complaint?FWIW, I regard the legit case of Diesel owners, who know their amps, expressing concern regarding authentic Diesel tone vs. a Fractal facsimile as a separate issue. Their concern was a practical “A really doesn’t sound like B” issue.
My point was responding to @316ms. Otherwise, making comments on a forum, cos why not?Okay, but what's your point?

Okay, but what does that have to do with my post?My point was responding to @316ms
Whether it was a 'concern' is independent of whether it exists on older recordings.I disagree that fizz was a concern before the advent of massive gain and track pants. Rectifiers and Uberschalls o mai
Here's an old one...I should find that quote from Cliff regard fizz
I guess you must have had something to do with a post about fizz you think I attributed to you? I don't even remember you in context, I just made a forum post cos I felt like it.Okay, but what does that have to do with my post?
You specifically referenced Boston and Barracuda in this post, and I'm the only one who's mentioned them in this thread prior to that, thus you were obviously referencing that post with regard to fizz.I guess you must have had something to do with a post about fizz you think I attributed to you?
I will endeavor to not comment on your posts in the future, as it is more investment than it's worth.You specifically referenced Boston and Barracuda in this post, and I'm the only one who's mentioned them in this thread prior to that, thus you were obviously referencing that post with regard to fizz.
References to 'fizz' can be found on myriad forums(as well as YouTube), and guys like Andrew Scheps, Ross Hogarth, and Johnny K have mentioned it.That may be the case. But until this thread, I’d never — in over four decades as a musician and electric guitarist — never, ever heard the word “fizz” applied to amplified, overdriven electric guitar tone.
No idea what flame war you're referring to, but there's no dearth of references to it on the internet.So, I can be forgiven for still believing (even after all the debate in this thread) that this falls mostly into the “internet flame wars” category.
There are plenty of other threads about it on this and other forums. Have you tried a Google search?“Fizz” may be a real thing — a component of amplified overdriven guitar tone — but it has never been as important as it is here among we geeky guitarists in this one isolated thread.
How are you defining fizz? It's called 'fizz' because, in isolation, it sounds fizzy (like carbonation or hiss). The guitars in More Than A Feeling don't exhibit that. In terms of distortion, the top-end of the song is pretty darn smooth. Further, you can visibly see fizz using a spectrum analyzer.IMO More than a feeling is not only fizzy
