I watched the video. Of course, you can’t discount the obvious… they’re selling the pedal in question, so let’s just say a level of bias is assumed. That considered, I liked what Pete said about the models, even though he was referring to focusing too much on amp type. If it sounds good to you, you’re golden. Quit digging and just play it. I think that’s really what defines this whole thing: If you can tell the difference, it matters. If not, it doesn’t. Fractal audio player: This is not the droid you’re looking for. <waves hand in Jedi-like manner>
For some people, this is a great fit. And it’s cool that there is something out there for them. Even a Fractal owner might find some utility for it, but not as a replacement.
It’s unfortunate everything is posed in a “this vs that” format these days. But that guarantees controversy, and controversy gets clicks/comments, and clicks/comments gets money. It’s embarassing that we’re going to be remembered as the people who thought Bridezilla, The Wives of (fill in the blank), Jerry Springer, and The View were good entertainment. So when I see Les Paul Killer, Axe Fx Killer, PRS Killer, or any other Killer in the title, I put on my respirator because something is about to put the BS-ometer into the red.
It’s a handy little box. Some people will buy it. Some won’t. It’s cool whichever side of that you end up on. If it’s useful, use it. If not, let it be useful to others. Your FAS gear is safe, and sounds as great as it did yesterday. All is well.
