I'm "between" modelers as some of you might recall from previous posts.
I started the journey with an Helix LT but, in the end, I ended up using it in 4 CM with my AC30 so it was overkill for what I wanted - a piece of gear that can let me leave the amp at home!
After that I went with the QC and did half tour with it (from February to July) - I found a capture that kinda worked although it didn't clean'd up well on volume roll and lost lots of FOH volume when I did that (techs had to mess around with my volumes when I tried "clean"). I couldn't get the Treble Booster + AC30 block to sound even decent on the QC. That's my base tone and I want it to work as it should - creamy saturated on guitar full volume, sparkly glass cleans on roll back without losing volume (as it works on real TB + real AC30). I know we need to have some compromisses on modelling but, at least, get as close as I can.
I also had a Fender Tone Master Pro for some days and although the base tone above was almost there, it lack several essential "Brian May features" such as delays above 1500 ms and a proper pitch shifter. On a 1500+ EUR unit I cannot concede that it doesn't have this - a specialized effect of course, something peculiar, but a simple delay above 1500 ms? No way I would had another pedal on the board and spend more money on this.
I'm modeler-less at the moment and still weighting pros and cons to get one or another. Really keen on hearing your stories on why you moved to Fractal, difficulties and achievements.
Many thanks in advance!
