Hi everyone,
As long as I’ve owned and used Fractal Products, it has hit me that I really don’t know sh*t about programming amp tones/IRs. I’m having a really hard time dialing it in. Bands I like/sound like/cover- Def Leppard, Ozzy, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Ratt, Steve Vai, etc... you get it. I like to have one “middle ground” tone to cover all of those. I’m sure you can hear it, or close, in your head.
Good lesson videos I should watch/buy? Is Cooper Carter’s masterclass worth it if I’m happy with effects, clean tones, and other things already? Best IRs to use (in your opinion)?
97% of days I love this unit, but lately I’m finding it so frustrating how easy it is to get lost in it or how complicated it can be. It’s hard to get it to sound “full” with clarity. It just seems to get mucky at some point. I thought I had it figured out but the more I play through it, the less I’m digging what I’ve got.
I run FOH and I like to set the unit up like I would a “real rig”. Amp and cabs on, then add effects(individually, like stomp boxes) in as I go using my RJM. Preset by preset usually. I do not use scenes.
