Let me ask a heretical question - can anyone hear this aliasing difference?
Especially younger people with less battle damaged ears than mine?

Things that show up on a graph I only partly understand versus things I can actually hear are not a 1:1.

I'm not saying it's not worth doing, I'm saying I don't know if it matters at a show or a recording.
Maybe in the studio I should care but live no one will hear it? IDK.

My point, so many things people get hot about on the internet have been things I literally couldn't hear. This is also true with home audio gear, it's not just a musician thing.

Try splitting your single with 2 parallel drive blocks with identical settings besides the oversampling and adding a filter block after one of them to flip the phase. Then sum them back together and you’ll hear exactly what’s different.

I like the science of that, but I'll probably just be turning it on and off while recording a loop and seeing if I notice a difference, once it's out of beta that is.

No, but it's become a specmanship thing so we have no choice but to address it.

It's like latency. People compare latency of products and because they don't understand the subtleties simply assume that lower = better.

I’m still glad you guys considered this since I’m one of those peeps peeking at the latency. I don’t notice 2 vs 3 ms, but when I got the Axe I used a guitar wireless which got a latency of ~5 ms, our FOH had a digital mixing desk with another ~1 ms of latency and then another ~4 ms introduced by my IEM. With a borrowed Kemper I once had a ~15 ms latency in total using that setup and while you can get used to it, it is definitely noticeable and annoying to some guitar players.
 
I dont know if there's like this HUGE sonic difference but the drive pedals feel better when set to high for me. Like palm mutes feel more satisfactory. Unsure if anyone else is experiencing this.

I was enjoying running real ODs into the fractal, and kind of digging that more than using the ODs inside the box. But now I think that difference has lessened... maybe its a placebo who knows... haha

But I am enjoying it.

Back to what I stated earlier, use case matters.

Imo, the accumulation of successive less audible or inaudible tweaks over time, contributes to the ultimate high level of quality, accuracy, and feel, clearly audible within Fractal products. Just because I can't hear / feel a given specific adjustment, doesn't mean I won't be able to hear / feel the cumulative effect of several such small adjustments combined.

My analogy is that the average person can hear the GPA, but not all the individual tests, quizzes, papers, etc.
