Experienced
I had my first Fractal unit (AFX II MK2) in 2013. It was my dream unit and something I had dreamed and safed my money forever.
Somewhere in 2017 I sold my AFXII and bought Fractal AX8. Loved the formfactor!
In 2018 I switched to Helix LT to see if I was missing something after using only Fractal gear so long. Well, Helix had a very nice userinterface, but I prefered Fractal amp modeling and effects more. So I went back to using Fractal AX8. I tried Kemper as well, but that didn’t last too long and I had my AX8 all that time anyway.
When FM3 got announced I sold my AX8 and thought I’d get my FM3 in 2-3 months after that. Well, we all know how the FM3 release went and I decided to try other platforms again while waiting.
I had almost two years time to use other platforms (Helix and Kemper) and was pretty happy how they worked. HX Stomp actually end up beeing my favorite and I was close to let FM3 go after all this time.
Now, I finally got the Fractal FM3 and have had it for two days... Let me tell you this. I thought, that I wouldn’t have any mind blowing experiences with it, because Neural DSP, Kemper and Helix have their modeling/profiling platforms pretty high level as well. But boy was I wrong! I had Beta FW4 and the new factory presets loaded in to the FM3 and when I started to play I was mind blown. Everything sounded just amazing! I admid: I didn’t know I missed fractal amp modeling this much!
It is good to be back!
