    September issue of Guitar world is chock full o' Fractal

    Hard words. Weird that in the last two months I haven't seen or heard anything in that area. In fact, the only time I've seen a company being trash talking the competition is actually when Cliff has showed how inferior the rest of the modelers are. Any links/pointers? I'm really curious.

    Axe-Fx II Firmware Version 5.07 Available

    Permission was given for sure, but the credit was none until I pointed it out. That was of course BII (before II), so I got a surprise when the IR was in the AxeFX2 but without credit (again). I do have better things to do than chasing Mr. Chase (*giggle*) every time there's a new revision of...

    While building my Fortin Natas patch, I discovered something...

    Well, I haven't tried your patch (yet), but I know that with some modding of the stock amps, it's possible to get really close, except that with a single turn on a Natas-knob, the sound completely changes which would take anothe 30 minutes to achieve. ;) I've been working with everything...

    Fractal Audio Welcomes Mikael Akerfeldt!....?

    Mikael use it direct and to his amps/4x12 for mnitor/extra oomph. Fredrik used to use it with his amps (four cable method) but due to the ohm mismatch, he's now using it as a preamp and his amps as power amps only. I don't blame him, it's only live anyway, and the control you get with the AxeFX...

    Congrats to Cliff et al. for having Opeth!

    Yeah, my bad in both cases. :) In Sweden it's a small metal world, and touring is pretty expensive, so when a solution appears in such an awesome way that it can't be disregarded as a toy, people are willing to give it a shot. Besides, both bands have saved enough money in shipping costs that...
