    Powering the AM4

    I've been using this current tripler cable at home with my Cioks SOL and AM4, it's been working fine... Cioks Current Tripler Cable – 2.1mm DC Pedal Power Cable. For gigs, though, I've been using the AM4’s OEM wall-wart power supply for simplicity, since I’m not currently running the unit on...

    Backup Rig for AM4

    VALETON GP-5 Don’t laugh until you’ve tried one… For the price, and as something you can keep in your gig bag in a pinch, it actually sounds surprisingly good. And you're probably gonna want an M-Vave Chocolate Plus to go with those fries... That said, I’ve been using Fractal gear for over...

    Wish: simple MOD block

    Why not... ? I don't think @Cooper Carter would agree with you...

    WISH : Input Wah

    Indeed — but that kind of misses the point of diversity. While running a preferred wah into the input is certainly the easy workaround, I’d much rather have a single expression pedal that doesn’t need to be permanently dedicated to wah duties. The whole appeal of the AM4 for me is its...

    WISH : Input Wah

    Yes.... The idea would be to have something like a dedicated wah block outside the main effects chain, placed at the input rather than consuming a full block — similar to how the noise gate lives in the input stage. It would also be great to see auto-swell migrate there as well. That alone...

    Wish Wish List: New Amps

    The ADA MP-1 has been requested for so long that, at this point, one can only suspect it’s being intentionally snubbed for reasons unknown. I assume its release is tied to some ancient prophecy. When it finally drops, half the user base will ascend, the other half will argue about bias...

    Effect loop

    An interesting aside, somewhat related... I tested my Source Audio Collider in stereo using the inserts with proper TRS cables. What’s interesting (and honestly pretty cool) is that when I use the new split feature instead of a conventional stereo effect, the signal actually pans back and...

    Wish MIDI Note messages

    I’m with you, brother… The disappointing part is that, for years, I assumed this was simply an oversight — that the feature hadn’t been included yet. Fair enough. However, it’s worth noting that adding this should be a relatively straightforward enhancement, especially given that much of the...

    AM4 feature requests

    I realize the AM4 firmware is still in its early stages, and this may already be on the roadmap, but I wanted to put in a request for Scene Revert. I found Scene Revert extremely useful on the FM3 and FM9, and I think it could be even more valuable on the AM4, especially given its streamlined...

    AM4 feature requests

    Couldn't agree more! This is easily one of Fractal’s finest achievements yet. I’ve been using their gear since 2010, and this unit is damn near perfect for what I need. There will always be (firmware) tweaks over time, but as fly-rigs go, this is the ultimate. I could comfortably gig with just...

    Using fractal rack as post-effects and “DI box” live

    ^^ This ^^ Had my Mesa Boogie Mark IIa re-tolexed and started using it as a straight power amp and cab. Like Leon said, I run from the Fractal straight into the Mesa FX return — cab sims off, amp block usually off too. I don’t touch the front controls at all, just the FX loop level on the...
