Then we should at least have the ability to pin lock our units. That at the very least is a good idea which would bring it up to Microsoft level security.

+1 - Expectations are very highPlease post a sound sample so that we may bask in the glory of your top secret presets!
I think all the high gain stuff is in the box. But needs some deep diving into parameters.
It would be great to have a block library of these other non modeled amps, approved by some of the experts in this forum or by fractal.
For example, I’ve been trying to cop the sound of a mezzabarba Mzero after I saw it at NAMM, but don’t think I’m there yet with the feel and don’t really know what to modify to get there.
So I think there has been a severe misunderstanding here.RackAddict,
If you don't want to post a preset, that's alright. But have you tried the suggestions that were made in the thread? If not, then I'd definitely give it a go. If so, what worked and what didn't? I firmly believe that the tones you have said you wanted already exist within the Axe.
You mean a clip that sounds like it's recorded through some phone mic? Yeah, that's going to be hard to get for sure. I guess we need fullres IRs of cabs recorded with iPhones.But just listen to the first Hermansson clip I shared. That is a very tough sound to get out of amps. Whether real or modeled. That's why the guy has a 2-year wait list.

Even then I don't hear anything you could not get out of various Marshall-based high gain models and using the input or output EQ options in the amp block.
You're beating a dead horse trying to convince people you can't get ( insert amp) in the Axe. Seems everyone around here is an amp builder when you ask for a new amp model. To shorten my view. Your best option is to find a real amp that has the tone you want or comes close and have it modded out. You will NOT be happy until then. Even if Cliff gave you the amp of choice, it wont be the same. Trust me.Well I can get some tight tones but I can't get anything to sound quoite that percussive in the fractal. If you think it's possible then prove it.
And ya, even through the crappy phone Mic it sounds shocking. Shows how good the amp is. Imagine how good it would sound through a high end signal chain.
That Hermansson Fredrick Marshall sounds absolutely insane!
Hi. Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you aren't addressing me directly with some of your responses, but I'd like to address it anyhow.So I think there has been a severe misunderstanding here.
Yes I am happy with the unit and can get plenty of serious his gain sounds and chunkyness and whatever. And I am completely satisfied with the sound I'm getting for one of my projects and we'll as for all my practice and fun messing around.
But forget about the DAR, that was just for being able to modulate filters between gain stages and other fun. It's not that important.
But for a basic core just listen to the first Hermansson clip I shared. And hear it full range to understand the type of bottom end coming out of there whole remaining that tight. That is a very tough sound to get out of amps. Whether real or modeled. That's why the guy has a 2-year wait list. So this is not a dis on fractal. I already agree with the fact that fractal has great amp modeling. It's irrelevant. But Fractal has released a box that covers a wide variety of styles. It's not focused on one genre so I'm not blaming the company for anything. It's just a request to make some model insanely focused sounding like that.
If someone wants to try to get that type of ridiculously glassy and instant percussive rhythm sounds with that kind of dynamic character, I dare you to try. I bet you can't. Whether real or modeled.
I tried the Fractal Fredrick models and they are decent but a bit spongy compared to that.
But being a tube amp internal expert to play guitar is a bit much to ask for. But I'm trying.
Since you are saying you have an expertise in tube amps, then I know you'll eventually be able to get the tone you are looking for. The journey may require some roads that are outside of that expertise though. I think it'll be a good experience though and this thread you've started could be the start of it. I'd highly suggest checking out the Wiki's Amp block page if you haven't already, to see how the advanced parameters could serve you.
My Axe-Fx 3 is all packed up for a move or I might take you up on the challenge.Well I can get some tight tones but I can't get anything to sound quite that percussive in the fractal. If you think it's possible then prove it.
And ya, even through the crappy phone Mic it sounds shocking. Shows how good the amp is. Imagine how good it would sound through a high end signal chain.

"But being a tube amp internal expert to play guitar is a bit much to ask for. But I'm trying." This is the part that I misinterpreted. I see what you're saying now.I haven't claimed any expertise whatsoever in tube amp engineering. I've made this clear that its no different than food taster's possible ignorance of how the cuisine he is tasting is made.
With that being said I understand about maybe 60 percent of how all the stuff in the amp block works from a tweaking perspective for sound sculpting. I'm still going through the wiki and block guide.
If anyone can nail down the dynamics of the Hermansson style Marshall with the fractal, I will pay money for the preset. Because so far all we have had here among members claiming it is possible is just talk and no evidence.
In the input boost block, under the name "grinder".also need some of that proper 9-18v stuff like the fortin 33 pedal for the ultra glassy chunky sound.
