I see your point, but sometimes the little things count.artists and albums « we » love are done with old school rigs with tubes amps and pedals. I cannot mention a cult album done with a modeler .
A pedal is friendly and great sounding (or not) quick.
I don’t think that Kurt Cobain knows the resistor / component in his small clone, if it was this or that, he probably don’t give a fuck, like 95% of musicians.
You try pedals , you like the sound, you record with it.
Some pedals are mythic, so when you buy a modeler you want to have them perfectly reproduce in terms of sound and visual . Nothing strange . It’s not being dumb or whatever . Advanced tweaks are interesting , but when you want to eat something sometimes you don’t really care if this meat got 36,7654% protein you know ?
These are tools to play.
Dont know if every car owner knows how a motor work and really care .
Hadn’t seen that and it’s fun to see the degree of nerdiness that goes into these recreations. There is one part of this video I think has some bearing on what we are talking about here. The discussion is about the Astra modulation pedal, cued here to the relevant segment.After sitting through this video, I’d be down for some additional genuine effect models:
Will I be extinguished for asking this? Has it be been beaten to death before?
Maybe I am in the dark, but I wonder if there is an "Authentic" Tab in the Amp Block
that mimics and mirrors the acxtual controls on the face of the amp being modeled,
then why is there no such thing for any of the effects types?
Am I wrong for thinking there should be? For instance, I have an old MXR Script 90
Phase pedal that has one control. Couldn't there an an Authentic tab in the Phaser
Block that simply varies the Speed of the Phase, and then another Tab for those
who want to go deeper and tweak to their hearts content?
Maybe blocks like phaser and delay that are modeled can have a separate block with authentic tabs. Or maybe have authentic tabs for all blocks where the tab just copies ideal for things not modeled.The Drive block is already authentic on the main page...
You're probably thinking of the Darkglass B7K model.
I think the challenge is the authentic view is sort of an "all or nothing" for each block. So for something like the Phaser that has both "real" models and "general" types, it wouldn't apply.
Of course, that's really a question for Fractal. These are just my opinions based on past experience and related posts.
Love the flexibility. I love using things in different and creative ways. I also love tweaking different parameters. But isn't the point of modeling to model something? As in recreation.Years ago when I've got my axe fx standard I was confused by all this parameters and numbers and stuff... It was pretty hard to set up nice sounding presets for me. Almost frustrating experince.
Then I've read the manual (heh) and found something interesting. After this I just started treating the device as a tool for creating tone rather than recreating it and since then I really enjoy this level of control.
