How did they compare with the Fractal?
How did they compare with the Fractal?
They are spot on.. Obviously with the real amp i ve all its sounds.. With fractal i substitute the clean channel with Jtm45 but are essentially the same.
Heard no difference worth discussion with the be100 model vs the amp.
It’s weird how that happens right? The mesa boogie amps are usually my curse when it comes to this ideal. It’s like my ears and fingers don’t react the same way I’m used to playing when I use Marshall type amps. It’s like Marshall’s satisfy the sound I need to hear to play what I normally play, but mesas don’t. Some Marshall’s don’t, but on average most do
Well i speak only about feeling.. Friedman be100 sound great for me but i noticed that if i play flying in a blue dream for example.. It s more difficult.. And i ve found that the only amps that suits that style for me are Marshall ( the majority), the diezel Herbert ch 2, and the cornford.. To explain what i m saying if you watch on youtube the Mark Day video where he plays through the friedman with his suhr and motor city pickups, at about 2.35 when he plays legato something happen..
Yes I speak about feeling as well. When I play through the Petrucci factory preset or the Mark day recto preset, I can tell they both sound amazing, but when I go to play lead stuff with them, it just doesn’t react under my fingers the same way most Marshall or Marshall clones do
Maybe it depends on the style.. For me it seems mesa style is more suitable for alternate picking than legato for example
I'm no expert, but that sounds to me like the noise gate settings might be a little too aggressive for that light of an attack when doing legato runs and it's choking the notes a bit.
But i ve the same sensation playing with fractal..
With the gate completely off?
Not completely off but i d say standard setting.. The same than the jvm that in any case seems not chocking the notes as you said, in fast legato runs..
I agree 100%! I notice that when I switch between my own guitars. I have to create separate presets for each guitar. I also think one of the biggest challenges of modeling is consistency in the playback method. It’s hard to tell what sounds good when you are listening in an untreated room with resonances that you don’t know to account for. Some of the factory presets sound terrible on my QSC (very muddy, etc..), but I know that is just a byproduct of my listening environment. That makes me doubt my created presets, because I’m not sure what to reference. Might sound killer in my room after I account for how I’m hearing it and then you get on stage and it doesn’t translate. Very frustrating!
Great points. My main reason for buying preset packs is because I know theyre made at gig level volumes and all the scenes/presets are leveled volume wise. Then I can use those as a template, but stay in the ballpark. I have no way of playing at gig volume levels lol
