Solid State amps, are they going to be here someday?

[fcoberrios]

Solid State amps, are they going to be here someday?, currently the only software solution for this is Nembrini with their SS amps but they are not customisable as the fractal amps. So, are they coming one day or we should just buy the amp we are looking for and just stop waiting for fractal to release their counterpart?

Delete, because I'm an idiot. Lol

They already have one the Jazz 120 is modeled on the Roland Jazz Chorus which is solid state. https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...odels-jazz-120-roland-jazz-chorus-120.113865/

I bought a AXE FX III Turbo some days before and I'm really missing the Lab Series L5 for a B.B. King sound and the Marshall Guv'nor Drive. For both Aion Electronics provides the schematics for the preamp: aionfx.com/project/l5-preamp/ and drive: aionfx.com/project/equinox-amp-overdrive/
Shouldn't be a big deal for Cliff. Thank you!

I'd look elsewhere. Fractal has given no indication of looking to add more solid-state amps and I would say a majority of users are not that interested in them either.

 

[Overcaster]

I don't even see a single reason why you would want that. I mean there are cool solid state amps out there, but the Axe can do all of those sounds already

I don't want an amp.

Surely just turn the sag down to 0 on any of the amps, so that the power amp is switched off?

The Axe Fx is a digital amp Gumby and can be twisted into sounding like practically anything.

Maybe we should have a contest to see who can come up with the "Worst Sounding Amp Tone" just for yuks.

Enjoy the good weather.

Listening to the reasoning that the axe can do any of these sounds already. Turn off the sag. Ok. Let’s ditch 250 of the current models since we could surely get those tones with the remaining 50 models.

There’s too many drives too.

That’s no longer available. From the Amp block documentation:

NOTE: As of firmware 16.02, Power Amp Modeling ON/OFF (p. 13) is a separate control not tied to Supply Sag.

It sounds like you need to update your firmware and/or your copy of the manual or the Blocks Guide. Firmware 16.02 came out in 2021.

It would be cool if it happens but dont hold your breath.

We are fully digital here but we like the scent of glowing tubes. We can surely manipulate some of the available amp models to make it sound like a solid state but adding a few Randall models would be like making several thousands of customers really happy and thankful.

The only solid state amp I would like to see in Fractal is Brian May's Deacy Amp.

 

[eddyrox]

i go AxeFx III direct into mixer and out to a pair of QSC K10's.... more than satisfying to my ears but YMMV of course...

 

[VegasGuitar]

Buy a Katana and ditch your Axe, if you have one.

LINE 6 METAL RED AHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I too vote for a worst tone competition.

 

[MackieFX]

Line 6 Spider III Please

Use a drive block directly into a cab block.

Projecting your own taste on others and mocking the big part of the customer base that would like to see some amps that many consider legendary and that are used by notable guitar players won't bring us anywhere and it isn't fair from your side. No interest? Skip the thread. Thank you very much.
