POLL: What should the next NEW AustinBuddy TonePack be, before 2023 hits?

[austinbuddy]

Hi Everyone!

Quick poll: what new possible AustinBuddy TonePack additions would be best to help you get the most out of your Fractal Audio unit and existing presets/collections?

Possible TonePack ideas are listed in the poll to select from... you just get to pick one on the list though. If you have other ideas, let me know!

Why do I ask? I've got limited time for the coming five months -- and always doing product updates to new firmwares on top of that( which takes priority)! -- so, want to focus my time/bandwidth on developing whatever quality tool my fellow Fractal Forumites think would be the BEST addition to your arsenal before the year ends!

(Full disclosure: poll results will inform me, but not bind me, to a particular course. I'm just collecting info to know what you NEED the most. Also, this poll closes in 14 days).

Thanks for your input! - AB

Thank you for listening to the crew!

Something else: Mixed Artists Package. We've had enough Zeppelin! Lets fill a collection of great tones. From Blackmore to Gilmour, from Andrew Latimer to Steve Rothery

FX Warehouse! Part pedalboard, part stereo post effects.

 

[Sean Ashe]

I think combined pre+post effects mega library would be amazing. It would be super valuable for naked and live gold as one could replace different blocks with ones from this library.

 

[ProfEmerald]

I went with the post FX block library, but the pedal board FX block library would be just as cool.

I own both Naked Amps and Live Gold and would actually pay an incremental amount to get the block libraries used in those patches. I like to mix and match!

Thanks.

Pre + post effects mega library !!

I love my Strats, especially when they're in a blues/rock idiom. Yeah, humbuckers/Les Pauls/ES-335 are great, but a Strat into a Marshall, Dumble or Fender that's dimed has an amazing sound. Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, early Clapton through Derek and the Dominos, Robin Trower, the list goes on and on.

When my amp is turned up to the point that the guitar strings begin to ring, and I turn up the volume and the power-amp saturates and it's that fine line between heaven and all hell breaking loose….

So what you're saying is you don't need no stinkin Tone Pack, you're a happy camper?

I don't, but I do love stealing AustinBuddy's tricks.

+1 - we need a "tricks pack"

After “Live” Gold some kind of “Studio” Gold. A selection of presets ready for recording and studio use.

 

[trancegodz]

All of them are great ideas. I am guessing you'll get around to all of them eventually.

Having the rest of the Led Zeppelin albums presets would be great.
As mainly a Strat player, "Single Coil Heaven" would be great.
"Nothing But Cleans" sounds like a good idea also.

Stereo FX after Amp:

Besides for the Pitch block, the Delay and Reverb blocks can be the most complex to dial in due to the sheer number of parameters. I think it would be most helpful to gain some guidance on what parameters mater most with these blocks.

I voted ‘something else’ because I like the idea of an FX warehouse, but I don’t think I would be tempted if it were split between pre and post.

 

[yek]

As tempting as "FX Warehouse" might be, I'm a little afraid it will be shaky ground. Also difficult to maintain with Fractal Audio's frequent update cycle.

 

[grandinq]

Thanks for asking. I would probably by anything, but the single coil one would be my preference. My PRS fits like a glove with LiveGold and takes a lot more tweaking with my Strat and Tele.

A single coil pack would really allow for some Klon love.

 

[Scented Meat]

I love several of the ideas, but the Zeppelin project is simply incomplete....

 

[normanaj]

Any of the following .

• FX Warehouse: Stereo Effects After Amp (Wet Stereo Effects) - (effects blocks library only!)
• Single Coil Heaven: Presets designed JUST for Strats, Teles, and other single coils guitars
• Nothing But Cleans: A Curation of Best Clean Tones

Headphone friendly please - live gold not so good on headphones out of the box so never used it after buying - was thinking naked amps but would be same issue thanks Austin
