Have we reached the end of new amp models in the Axe 3?

[AngusV]

I cannot see that reaching the end of Amp models for the AXFXIII can ever be the case unless the AXFXIV comes out. I see it as a fluid thing - If Cliff aquires an amp, it would surely be for the purpose of modelling it out and providing a Firmware update. there are plenty of Amps out there to model. Untill there are no amps left to model left then there will be more to come IMO.
On the subject of Amp Profiling, im not a fan of the 'snapshot' idea, and that would be a different product to build and sell in my opinion. Also plenty of Profilers out there already.
I honestly never thought I would have so much Power under my fingers when it comes to Amps, Effects, Automation and adjustability of parameters often outside of real world Models, ever in my life! Thanks to Fractal.

Maybe a few classic solid state guitar amps?
Randall RG100, Marshall Valvestate 8100.
Pantera, Death, Meshuggah and more used the above.
Peavey Bandit is also a classic on its own.

No.

The amount of resistance to the guy asking about those jazz amps was surprising and (to me) a bit disappointing. More is more better, IMO!

Sometimes it’s not what you are asking for it’s how you go about asking , people were actually trying to help him up to a point

I think there won't be any more amps. I also thought this when this was first posted before the Revv's were released. I'll also think it after the next amp is released. I think Cliff is done and not planning to add anything more.

Reverse psychology. Nice!

I think maybe some of the more unique circuits are just too complicated to model. So long as amps fall under the Fender/Marshall/Vox topology, it likely makes Cliff’s job that much easier.

Oops! I seem to have dropped my schematics…

OR120...yes please!

Also, if no more amp models, then captures are the next frontier.

From now on amps will be taken away each release.

Interesting! Are the "taken away" amp models an updated version of the FAS models? Aka "taken away 100w", "taken away skull crusher" ?

All warp bubbled. It’ll be down to the pig nose cabinet only.

That's the amp jimmy page likes, helix has it and it's awesome.

There's nothing special about those schematics. It's simple preamp, cathodyne phase inverter, and vanilla power amp and power supply.

There are amp models in the Axe-Fx that are far more unique than that, Hook Captain for example.

The limiting factors are availability of schematics, availability of reference amps, time and consumer demand.

That Orange is really special.
Cathodyne PI, Baxandall Eq, Variable Coupling Caps, LC Presence Control... not so sure if Fractal can even do that.

Edit: Ninja Cliff.
I'm joking btw, you'll see that a lot.

It's not a Baxandall, it's a James.

There's some James tone stacks in there already.

 

[James Freeman]

Oops, yeah.

Jimmy played an OR120? First I've heard of it. Here's Jimmy Page with his Orange OR200 amp at Madison Square Garden, 1973.

Still hoping for the Peavey JSX someday...

Which AFIII tone stack is comparable?
