Fractal allowed me to have all of my amps and pedals and then some on stage. SIM1 allows me to have all of my different guitars and then some on stage. Once you use it enough, it’s not frustrating. The results are excellent.

Hey mate, starting to sample all of my guitars using the chromatic format you outlined and so far so good.
You can only select the TMA Input block as Local Channel. If you want to capture a source from your DAW you should do it at the Reference Source, and use your guitar at the Local Channel
Ok, I think the confusion comes from an earlier post by you in this thread:
I'm adding one to my new FM9 pedalboard setup.. If I can have all of the Amp & FX tones under my foot, then why not have all of my fav axes
You can't replicate it in the Axe.
Tone Matching the chromatic scale merely averages the frequency spectrum over time. It doesn't capture the spectrum for individual strings, which would be a prerequisite to replicating the SIM1. That said, you can reproduce the sound of a particular note/chord as long as the same note/chord was played during the matching process, but deviating from it will alter the accuracy of the match.
You keep mentioning "spectrum for individual strings"...where are you getting your info from? I quickly went through the website and I don't see this? How do you know it's any different than the Fractal tone matching? I'd just like to see documentation to back up your repeated statement of fact.
FAS's Tone Match feature is simply EQ matching, and while I don't know the methodology the SIM1 uses to produce its effect, it's undoubtedly not based on standard EQ matching, which merely averages the overall frequency spectrum of whatever is played. Given that you can accurately reproduce the sound of a particular note/chord as long as the same note/chord is played during the matching process, it stands to reason that if you could capture the frequency spectrum for the various pitches of each individual string, you could replicate the effect of the SIM1. If you watch the SIM1 tutorial videos, that's what appears to be happening, but whether the tech is using some form of EQ matching, I don't know. At the very least, however, it's empirically demonstrable that regular EQ matching will not reproduce that effect.
I'm sorry, but I'm still lost. Why is it "undoubtedly not based on standard EQ matching"? I hate to belabor a point, but your so adamant and I'm hoping to be educated.
Again, standard EQ matching averages the entire spectrum over time. What would be the point of playing the chromatic scale for each individual string when Tone Matching? Nevertheless, I'm fairly adamant because I've experimented with it extensively and it doesn't work.
In my opinion, the difference is that the SIM1 takes the pitch and frequency content of each individual string into account, which is something EQ matching doesn't do. Again, EQ matching simply averages the frequency spectrum of whatever is played.
How does it know what string is being played? It doesn't use a hex pickup approach.
I have no clue, but I would wager it's based on pitch detection.
I wouldn't. You can play the same pitch in multiple places on a guitar.
