What Amp Models would you like to see added?

I was curious on what the process was for new amp models so I thought I’d start a thread to see what everyone thought and what others would want to see. Personally I’d love to see an Omega ampworks model of the Obsidian or Granophyre, A Randall Satan, And possibly something like a Marshall...

Powerline network interference solution? Amp noise, modellers not affected

Hello, I've been using my amps with a loadbox for a while, and today when I was going to "dust off" my cabinet, I came across this noise. Tried with different amps and it doesn't make any difference. I'm pretty sure this is being caused by powerline network adapters I installed recently...

How many of you use also real amps and pedalboards and why?

Hi, I just got my invite for an FM3 HP and have some decisions to make. As a bedroom / home studio player I'm using an AX8 for occasional recording but in the last couple of weeks I somehow got into pedals, pedalboards and especially analog drive pedals (probably due to GAS). Finding myself...

Using an AX8 on a Yamaha THR10?

I’m planning on getting a Yamaha THR10 as an amp upgrade from my old practice amp. I was looking at the AX8 and fell in love with the sound of it. Question is, would the AX8 sound good if I use it on this amp? Or would is sounds awful?

Diezel Herbert vs Diezel VH4 shootout

There are couple videos on youtube comparing these two amps, I didn't like the way they sounded so I decided to record my own. Both amps recorded exactly the same way, with volume that I would typically use when playing with band.

Combat "too many amps" issue

A neat idea I had the other day when I was feeling overwhelmed by how many options are in the AX8.... Save, then delete ALL presets. This includes factory, purchased, user presets, etc. Then add 1-3 amps at a time. Amps that you know well will serve as a great starting point. I found that...

Your go-to high gain amp?

Tips for making the amps sound more raw??

All I love the Fractal, but my only gripe is that it tends to sound a bit too much like a recorded guitar tone. This is where I give Kemper a slight edge when it comes to guitar tone. I am looking for any tips on how I can get my amp models in the Fractal to sound a bit more like an amp that...

How do you sort/arrange your amp presets on your computer?

By that, I mean: say you're one of (presumably) many Fractal users who make presets/global blocks of each amp (and their most suited factory/user IR) so that they can be easily called up, ready to be smothered with effects (or not!) for recording/jamming at a moment's notice. Would you arrange...
