With amp match everyone should be able to "profile" power amp only...
Untrue. Fractal has stated that amp modeling is done at component level. Therefore, the preamp is always "active." The best one could hope to achieve, theoretically, would be "preamp in front of an amp." IOW, the outboard preamp is like a... pedal.With amp match everyone should be able to "profile" power amp only...
I still think it'd be nice to have a couple of modeled power amps in the FXII, maybe 2 Marshalls a 100w Plexi & 50w 800, a couple of 6L6 power sections like a 5150 & a Mesa, maybe the power section of the Bogner Shiva 20th anniversary w/the KT88s & maybe something with EL 84s. That'd cover 6 good options for reamping.
I don't know if I'd use it live but for studio use I'd be all over it!
Any rack power amp is: gain stage, splitter, power tubes. So you should choose any "2 stage preamp" (preamp is "recovery stage" in any head) like fender, or vox, or mesa, or dumble... and let the amp be matched (amp, no TONE match). I see no big problem using a dummy load or a voltage divider to stole a line signal when cab is in isolation box.Fractal has stated that amp modeling is done at component level.

STM113: Any standalone power amp modelers should be welcome, but if there was preamp bypass we could use any already modeled power amp.
I know Cliff do no want to unlock the beast (preamp bypass). Matching could be a cute solution, Torpedo another one.
Amp match is no tone match: it should match the amp dynamic as close as the model can (obviously if you use a powerball to nail vintage fender clean you should fail!).The problem of EQ Matching a tube power amp is that if you are driving it at it's sweet spot ... then it's response is non-linear and not reproducible by EQ Matching alone

Cliff told us he is workin on both amp match and tone match.
If only tone match will be released, than you're right!
I don't care, let Cliff do the hard work! In the meantime, I enjoy both axefx and real amp!The inherent issue is how an "Amp Match" would even work.
