My Top 5 - Fractal Audio Systems Wishlist Features & Gear 

i really dont get why the digital modeling sleeps on the doom sludge comunity

The 8100 always puts a smile on my face. I occasionaly have the chance to play one, like twice in a decade, and it's always fun.

The fact that line 6 has a model t model and an hm2 now makes me want the helix more when I eventually get an amp modeling unit. I hope fractal ads those Kurt Ballou favorite amps and effects like the ampeg v4 and such. And yeah the bass amp selection is so bad. I hope they model a human gear animato or something one day so us bass players can get our distortion on

It’s crazy too that the helix nukes out in number the amount of bass related things in it vs fractal such as the bass driver DI or various amps such as the acoustic

I also agree that solid state amps can give something another. That`s why I did VH140C preamp model for Amperium Live :) It`s fun to have instant brutal death metal tone at your disposal.

2:03 without a doubt, that's why i've been screaming for an ADA MP-1 model, to basically archive into eternity. I'll absolutely agree Cliff and the fractal team continue to do great work on updating the ecosystem.

I hadn’t thought of #2… that’s a great idea!

Wish#3 - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I got the hardware, but would love to have everything inside the Axe-Fx.

Hope you're doing well man, looking forward to the next gear curiosity or tone hunt

Great takes! One thing i would really like to have in the fractal is an equivalent of the digitech Freqout!

I just hope sludge and stoner embrace amp modeling😂..oh man thats gonna be a a battle Whats weird is helix has cathered to the stoner crowd. Sunn model t, op amp rat pedal, swedish pedal, russian fuzz, triangle fuzz(my fav) thats alll in helix. Imagine how good axe fx could do it though?! They would have to make it sound better than the helix models, which sound goood believe me. Most of it is recent update stuff. Anyway im excited for dual amping sunn model T, and thunderverb orange together in the fm9 ...someday

I heard that they never added the HM-2 fuzz because the owner bias decided it juts sounded bad which I gotta admit is the most terrible reasoning imaginable for not adding another basic iconic drive pedal

Doubler: Fractal audio preset #82 Petrucci Rig, Cooper Carter is using the pitch block (dual Detune) and some modifiers to get a nice doubling effect.

Welcome back Ryan.

Honestly: my sole wish would be a smaller unit (provided they will implement some profiling/modeling as they seem to be practically forced by the market to do so). I consider 1U unrealistic, but 2U should be doable.

The wireless thing with embedded variable impedance is something I've already thought myself, with the addition of a digital audio output though (spdif, aes or a proprietary connection) to cut down on A/D/A conversions and latency

Univibes. You can tweak the phaser or the rotary to work but I find it easier to just plug in an actual vibe pedal

+1 on the request for solid state amp models. They already have the JC120, so we know that it is possible. It would be awesome to have a Gibson Lab Series L5 for those early Ty Tabor tones.

Considering Line 6 sell the Pod Go with a wireless kit, albeit not as sophisticated as the one you suggest, it's honestly a little embarrassing that Fractal (and Kemper, to be fair) don't offer something similar, even if it was only offered with the top of the range units. YES PLEASE SOLID STATE AMPS. I don't care how cork sniffery people can be about all toob everything, some of the best guitar tones have come from solid state amps, and those deserve to be modeled even if it means not modeling all 464 trillion variations of the 2203 circuit. BB King used a solid state amp near exclusively (Lab Series L5), The Beatles used solid state amps live once fans were screaming louder than AC30s (Vox Conqueror), Def Leopard recorded Hysteria with a solid state headphone amp (Rockman), and of course, there's Dimebag and his Randalls, just to name a few. Paying no mind to these tones because of the way they were achieved is a dick move at this point

Cooper Carter put toghether a clone of the TC Mimiq using the pitch block and modifying the parameters in real time with the internal modifiers. I believe it is in his most recent iterations of the Petrucci presets if you want to check it out.

Does the Axe FX not have amy solid state amps? I guess I never went and looked. A lot of great bass heads are a valve pre into a solid state power section and I'd love to have those options in such a high featured rack unit

Why not just plug in a blank canvas guitar tone and model different pickups? Easy way to link pickup to tone selection

My #1 wish would be a plugin version.

I just wish the UI on the panel was as easy to use and navigate as the Helix.

#1 kinda exists, seymour duncan makes a smart 5 way switch...

Nam captures player block

I'd like to see one of these, but on helix. See what you think it needs
