    How Good is the Fractal VH4 Model?

    I'm borrowing a Diezel VH4 at the moment (2009 model) so naturally the first thing I did was dial up the Fractal model with the knobs in the same position and take a look at how close the TMA reads between them. I zero'd out speaker drive/comp/compliance and used the relevant X-Load impedance...

    Wish "FAS Thrash" Model

    Request - an idealized Mark IV Lead Mid Gain model (or IIC+) with pot tapers such that the model default Bass/Middle/Treble values of 5/5/5 correspond to 1/2/9 on the real amp (a common starting point with these amps). Furthermore, bake in a typical "scooped" graphic EQ so that users can dial...

    AFIII Deluxe Reverb Comparison - Axe-Fx, QC, HX, TMP
