How similar is the fuzz factory and hm2?
YES. This is where FAS sets itself apart. I use my guitar volume control a lot, and the Fractal response to signal nuance is amazing.Addendum: I dig that you test with a low energy pulse as well.
I love showing people how well the Fractal responds to volume changes on my guitar. More so: I love being able to ride the volume control on my guitars to change what I'm getting out of my Fractal tech and enjoying hearing it change the same way the IRL amps and pedals change when I do this. I've been running with my Telecaster exclusively for the past few months and doing more volume and tone knob manipulation on simpler presets to vary my gain and tone. It's truly wonderful.
Show off…Spent an hour or so comparing a couple drive pedals. The comparisons are done at two excitation levels: high and low with low being 40dB lower. All knobs at noon.
Here we have the Axe-Fx vs. a Klon:

Blue and orange are the Klon.
And here we have another modeler vs. the Klon:

Here we the Nobels ODR-1 vs. a preliminary model on the Axe-Fx:

And here we have the ODR1 vs. the other modeler:

Would it surprise you if he was going through all the drives again and making adjustmentsIs this existing drive algorithms or new and improved?
You hush, now!Do we want an ODR-1 over a model of the Vem Shanks?

I never had the problem of playing with too much gain like lots of young rock/metal players do. My first experience with a tube amp was my friend's stepdad's JCM2000 - I lived on the Green channel because of how responsive it was. For some reason, however, for the next 15 years or so I kept on using channel-switching setups until maybe a year ago. Maybe it has something to do with entering my 30s and "getting old" (ha!) but now I basically sit on the SLO Crunch channel and ride my volume knob for cleans.Addendum: I dig that you test with a low energy pulse as well.
