    Weird thing with amp plugins

    I’ve always found that with a lot of amp plugins, there seems to be this weird unpleasent thing in the midrange that cannot be dialed out. It’s almost kind of honky sounding. I’ve noticed it the most on Archtype Petrucci, Polychrome McRocklin and TH-U (especially the profiles). Some of the amps...

    How was the JMP-1 Modeled?

    I spoke to someone from another company who makes modeling devices and asked them if they could add the JMP-1 model. They replied and said that the JMP-1 isn’t really possible to model very accurately since it’s a “hybrid preamp” so to speak. I found that odd since Fractal and Nembrini have...

    FM3 Model Capacity

    Do we know how many more amp/effect models the FM3 and FM3 Turbo can handle in future updates? I guess my concern is the regular FM3 not being able to take future updates, but from what I’ve read, the additonal CPU on the Turbo is more for an additional block or two.

    Has Fractal Audio's amp algorithm ever been verified by "Null test"?

    I’m sure they do. It’s just good to be aware that what you are hearing is Cliff’s Plexi, which may sound a little different than EVH’s because it’s a known fact that Eddie’s Plexi had some odd stock values that changed the sound a little bit.

    Has Fractal Audio's amp algorithm ever been verified by "Null test"?

    IMO, comparing a Fractal unit to the amp it’s modeling, especially older handwired amps like Plexis and Bassmans is kind of useless. The main reason is because the model is based on Fractal’s reference amp and may sound a little different than other Plexis for example because Marshall never made...

    What do people mean when they say modelers "lack the amp feel"?

    You really need to use micro pitch in a WDW setup if you want it to sound right. EVH, Lukather etc. used it in that way.

  99. R

    Do I need a an Eventide H9 or can it be done with AXE-FX III

    Yeah the Axe can do all that stuff. H9 is one of the most annoying units because you have to have a phone to use the editor, has a funky power supply, and it doesn’t have an analog dry path, so in order to do stuff like the micro pitch right, you have to use a mixer or it will sound out of phase.
