🔥Introducing the new AM4 Amp Modeler

[OrganicZed]

Interesting. It looks like the cab block is incorporated directly into the amp block.

It's cool, but why not a larger headphone jack?

 

[SinglecutGuy]

So AM4 vs. FM3?

Is AM4 is limited to 4 blocks?
Does it have all the same amps as FM/AXE III?
Can you use a pedal board with this in a faux-4CM method?

Physical space is at a premium...

Also most headphones these days are 1/8" anyway and require an adapter

If anyone wants to stuff this in my stocking this year, I'll send you my address.

It has Input, send/return, Output so I imagine that should work.

Check the link which includes images and docs

Congrats to all involved to bring this to market! I have heard it and it sounds just like (as good as!) it's big brothers and sisters, even if the amp block "GUI" architecture is not the exactly same. Well done Fractal team!

That's a NO. The inserts are no effects send/return.

Welp, it's not the FM1 stompbox, but it's close enough!

Makes for a great christmas / thanksgiving gift !

Just read the manual on that. Thanks for clarifying.

Tell me more

 

[VegaBaby]

nice!
I would have even gone for a smaller footprint as in "Amp Block Pedal" only (as in UAD / Tone X etc. ) but there's always room for more products, right ?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Amp Architecture] ... Tell me more

The Cab is built right in to the amp block. There’s also a tap-on/tap-off solo boost without needing a separate block. The UI is very streamlined—similar to what we did on the VP4 with basic and expert edit modes. Quality-wise, the AM4 is straight-up Axe-Fx III level.

These days, people's heads are getting smaller and smaller. I think it has to do with how AI is making us dumb ;-)

That's all I wanted to hear (well... read)

This is great, a small on the fly rig, been searching so long for such a solution, but only crap on the market I resold within the next 12 months. Congrats. This is absolutely gonna make it. Will be my next FAS purchase next summer, hoping it will be available at G66 by then.
Love at first sight. You're the best ever.
