I have a GP3 preamp that could be modeled. Need an accurate schematic though.That’s the one amp I’m really hoping for

No. just 5 minutesSomeone has way too much free time on their hands, and clearly no real direction in life.
I doubt we’ve seen the end, but it’s always based on something catching Cliff’s ear, and requires time, because he wants to have the actual amp and its real schematic. And he doesn’t want a generic version of that amp, it needs to sound like the perfect version of it because that’s what he’s going to try to replicate with the modeler.Not a criticism by the way; obviously I'm aware of the massive challenge that goes into modeling a new amp, so not trying to make it seem like anyone is slacking off.
The Axe has way more amp models than anyone else, and they all sound amazing. But I have noticed that it's been some time since we've had a flush of new models (not just expansions of existing models) and I'm wondering if this is it, or if Cliff has some super secret amp models up his sleeve.
If this is it, so be it--I am quite happy with the models that are already here. I'm just curious.

Oh, the MS-2 is that tiny thing? Maybe I should put in a request to model my old Crate GT-15. A Roland Cube sim would be nice too.I just captured my MS-2 today, yeah..yeah QC
As i have said before, i hope the Axe FX gets 'profiling, capture' technology in the near futureView attachment 102624
I think if the schematic revealed something that's patented then there'd be cause for concern, but the tweaks and mods have been out for years, so they'd be prior-art, and not available to a patent. It has to be a new, unique, and non-intuitive improvement if I remember right, something that shows a whole new way of doing whatever it is. For instance, Mesa's Randall Smith has a number of them for things he came up with. Implementing algorithms to model those things in their schematics might have to wait 20 years until the patent expires as they're quite protective of them.Even if someone offers an amp to be modelled and has a schematic for it which does not appear to be generally publicly available, I'd bet fractal would be cautious about modelling that amp without specific permission from the amp builder. I get the impression older amp circuits are openly available, or maybe knowable" via examination, where as it seems more modern amps (Revv) have more going on under the covers which may be guarded info. Lots of schematics to a lot of stuff gets "published" on the internet but that does not mean it's available to use.
Not until the long overdue Death Monger Seal Clubber 3000X gets done.
If Keith Richards had one of these back in the day…We have not reached the end of firmware updates... the Axe is powerful, and they have engineering talent that is STELLAR. People say well there will be a next best thing.... but it will never go out of style and good luck getting every possible tone out of the unit with every signal chain possibility and setting. That is the beauty of owning a Fractal. If the internet died tomorrow and there was no more updates, I would still be making presets in 10 years with it and finding satisfaction.
would've been a waste - always running on a dryish Fender Twin patch - set up for a 5 string'd tele - all he needsIf Keith Richards had one of these back in the day…
and many, MANY others.the ADA preamp (Personally... I don't get it. Maybe it's nostalgia)
