    Rick Beato interviews Ian Thornley from Big Wreck

    TP&TG is my fav album from them.... I think the unknown wait was one of the big reasons. It isn’t as immediate as ILMO. That album is probably their peak with layers, alt tunings & style. Inhale (one of their heaviest songs) Undersold (zed lep with actual balls!) No fault West Virgina...

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

    You seem to be ignoring that people can download/buy profiles if they choose as well. I’ve used some myself and they are fantastic. No one pays for presets though or uses artists patches on modellers though right? That could never work for a different player.. Shame if you take any profile...

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

    I have a few amps, I make profiles of the settings I like. I don’t need to tweak them because I picked the sounds I like. If that particular model has been liquid profiled according to Kemper they should respond the same (I take nothing at face value unless is test it myself because I’ve heard...

    Dino Cazares playing Fractal now?

    Because his best tone ever was his modded Marshall. It was once stolen. He now has a similar amp if not the same (metalhead) . He made a profile of it which generally comes pretty close to the real thing and if the kemper gets stolen he will be ok. If I had that sound which was pretty much...

    I mentioned myself doing the profiling (ie you doing the profile) and if that model has a liquid profile then the controls should respond the same way... I say should respond as a certain modeller with an “official” model didn’t compare as close to the real thing. I say that for any device...

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

    That makes absolutely zero sense, the source is an amplifier. You set it how you like it and press profile. If you are lucky that amp may have been liquid profiled which at least according to kemper says was copied from the real amps controls. If this isn’t satisfactory how many people start...
