    The Greatest Recto Tone Ever?

    There’s a thread on tgp praising the original line6 pod, someone there claimed that they’d used a pod on hybrid theory 🤦‍♂️ Takes about 3 seconds to hear the tone and deduce that it’s not a pod Didn’t realise it was a modded Marshall but the sound is great on them

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    The difference is it’s your presets changing so you know the stuff better than random amps at a store. My analogy involves a spirited nephew getting into my music room and playing DJ with my pedals and amp knobs….. beat it kid!

    fx3 into 5150 iii 50w head return

    Any 5150iii being described as “not as full” just sounds like an eq or gain thing. I can’t think of a family of amps that sound any more similar. All the 5150iiis rule and I wouldn’t sweat what people say about the difference between the 50 and 100w versions, they are all basically the same

    Wish New device - desktop FX3 - FM9 - (small and portable interface)

    In my context breakout box = DSP unit like the UAD apollos. You can sprinkle the plugins all over the session to work in real time but the processing is done in the hardware unit not on your computer. It's also a good security measure seeing as the UAD plugins never got cracked.

    Wish New device - desktop FX3 - FM9 - (small and portable interface)

    +1 this would be amazing. SPDIF In/Out would make the workflow to other interfaces better than just the OUT on the FM3. I still dream of a day where we have Fractal Native so we can tweak things on the fly and aren't limited by hardware horsepower. Even if it was tied to a breakout box like this...

    Kemper Player is out, so pretty much all the competition now has a mini 3 button product… still no Fractal FM3 Lite???

    The recent wave of digital "amp only" boxes like ToneX, UAFX, Kemper now etc has made me realise that if I ever wanted some solution like this for a pedalboard then the FM3 is the way to go. Less cables, No need for other pedals (unless they do a specialised job) and just infinitely easier. I...

    My AxeFX III sounds bad, and I don't know why

    For the Axe3 preset just go IN --> Drive --> AMP --> Cab --> NoiseGate --> Out Drive use a 808, Level max, gain 0, tone at noon Amp - 5153 Red/Lead - Put presence at 7/8, leave the rest at default, will revisit NoiseGate - Set your source to the INPUT so its doing things the modern metal way...

    My AxeFX III sounds bad, and I don't know why

    From what I've heard from your Axefx3 sounds fine, it just sounds like an issue with dialing it in and expectations about tone/eq/how it sits. The DI had a bit of EMI but nothing egregious, the general tone of the pickup is good and the EMI can probably be mitigated if you record away from the...

    5150 Presence Knob

    Maybe FAS can sell some DLC to mimic real world Amp Decay... and then sell virtual Amp Tech Tune Up packs to remedy the problems. This would only be for the most hardcore of enthusiasts.

    5150 Presence Knob

    After this exhaustive thread it would seem like a cool option to do but if some random amp tech was like "trust me bro lets tweak the presence pot taper" I think a person would be more like... well, the 5150's are pretty damn well received as is... lets just leave it as stock, its not really a...

    I am sitting on the fence with my review. AX8 to FM3 (EDIT, I have climbed down from the fence now..)

    Dont - Trust anyone elses presets Do - Mostly trust the FAS presets (bonus points if you add your own IRs... I always found the factory ones too dark for my taste, easy switch) By far the highest hitrate of "good presets" comes from the stock FAS presets these days. They're not all winners but...

    Cab-Lab 4 Release 🔈🧪

    Is there any plan to allow a mix down into a standard IR (.WAV) where these can be used elsewhere? For a person without a Fractal unit it's some hard mileage to start buying packs and only ever having the option of using these inside the CabLab app. Maybe the sole intention of this is CabLab -->...

    Cab Lab 4 on deck?

    I grabbed CabLab4 but I can't see a way to access DynaCab packs. Should these be available for purchase on the Fractal store?

    FM3 Firmware Version 7.00 beta 4

    In the end I just went to the blank preset before the dud preset, copied over the blank and did it all on the unit and it worked! I did boot in safe mode to test it out but I didnt need it, just needed to do the overwriting on the actual unit. If it even took 1 second to load up it would have...
