To OP, have you tried to Tone Match your Darkglass Alpha Omega? Also, perhaps you can tell us (or even better show us) what you like about it and maybe we can all help out to get you the tone you like using what is currently available within the Axe. This is a great community for that.
Are Fractal's effort well directed? I can't answer that because I'm not part of the company and do not and cannot know what happens within it. From the perspective of what we get in terms of firmware release content, I am quite satisfied with being given free updates and bug fixes. Are there things I wish were included? Yes, but I also like the challenge of finding my sound with what is available as well as allowing myself to be inspired by what I am unfamiliar with.
The tone part is a personal journey that I consider different than the functionality of the unit. I am enjoying the ride with regards to both points. Whatever comes next for Fractal, I will try to support because what I have received from my investment in them is greater than anything that may or may not be in either this unit or the next gen.
At the end of the day, I just want to be musically expressive and the Axe FX III allows me to do that, whether it is with my guitars, bass, or keyboard running through it. So in that way, Fractal's efforts are well directed for my needs, of which everyone may differ on.
