Fractal Fanatic
I know most of us are passionate about Fractal gear, and rightfully so, but there is no 'one size fits all'. I was reminded this past weekend that other modelers/profilers are more than capable of producing great tones as well. A friend of mine is part of a project called Carmen Jane that is gaining some traction and had a local show Saturday night.
He's using the Quad Cortex with a 7 string tuned to drop E and a short scale bass. All of his tones were incredible; cleans were clear, fat and cut through the mix and his high gain tones were simply massive! I knew what he was using before the show, we've talked gear quite a bit, and had a somewhat critical ear ready to say the Axe III could do better but I couldn't find any fault with any of his tones.
I will continue to tout the quality, tone and support of Fractal gear and encourage those I talk gear with to consider trying one of their products. I will also give kudos to and applaud those who use other products and get fantastic results. At the end of the day, they're all tools but we don't need to be one just because we think something else is 'better'.
