    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.
