AX8 (w) Qauntum ....... are /will all the amps be " G3 " ?

[ben ifin]

Hey all

Pardon my newby'nes again [ Im on the AX8 w/list but not a current Fractal user yet ] ..... and I realize that this is not [probably] just an AX8-specific question.

I understand that AX8 users will be able to run Quantum when they/we get our units.

So ...... with Quantum .....

=> have all the Axe FX Amps already had the " G3 " makeover (?) or is the " G3'ing " of the amps an ongoing and as yet unfinished job (?)

Really hope this question makes sense.

all the amps sound good i'm sure.

I think Quantum negates the need for the G3 thing, that could be the reason why the G3 note on the amps was removed IMO.

It's the same amp models as the AxeII. That's enough for me.

OK .... so maybe Quantum is really just the global-name for the the " G3'ing " of the amps .... (?)

No biggie - Im just curious - " G3 " was the big thing and now its " Quantum " .... still as long as they sound "real" they could be " H4 " for all I care

as Cliff put it, "does it matter?" they sound great

Well, he was the one who touted the G3 thing, so he's the one who is to blame if people are still obsessing over it now. Can't have it both ways

I feel Quantum fw sounds a bit clearer and has has more depth than G3 ones, but it's not a big difference by any means.

The "water divider" (as we say in Brazil) was the G3 introduction in FW18. IMHO. That was the real "quantum leap". :mrgreen

It's called marketing........the word Quantum sounds more substantial than just continuing along the same G2/G3 path.....

I agree. Could be simply FW21, but the "now it's perfect", "now it's revolutionary" thing is contradictory with dozens of new firmwares.

As I said. major recent update was G3 in FW18. That's really something clearly superior. Even if the Quantum motor is different, more efficient, a bit clearer, etc. it's not such a big deal in tone for a completely new "nickname".

In 'your' opinion!

All I care about is whether or not the amp models sound good........yep, they are fantastic.
