Fractal Fanatic
On a real Mesa JP2C, engaging the "Shred" mode is done via a mini toggle switch, and no amp settings change.
But in trying to emulate this behavior, we need to select a different model, e.g., switching from USA JP IIC+ Yellow, to USA JP IIC+ Yellow Shred, and in doing so, all the other settings revert to their defaults. It shouldn't be this way. The settings should simply remain as-is.
I'm not as familiar with how other amp models in the Fractal handle similar scenarios, but if there are separate, individual 'models' that need to be chosen to emulate simple changes that can be done on the real amp, then it would seem to follow that we should be able to do the same thing on these other amps, as I described above, in the USA JP IIC+.
Maybe the amp models could be re-worked, and do away with an entirely separate amp "model", just to be able to engage a switch. I mean, if we're talking modelling, seems to me the same real-life behavior somehow ought to be modeled. I would even go as far as to suggest this sort of thing take priority over adding new amp models, or effects, or tweaks to the same.
Thank you for considering this.
Edit: Maybe "default settings" is not correct, but when changing the Yellow to the Yellow Shred model, some settings did change. So even if they don't all go to default settings, it would nice if none of them changed.
