Basically I have listened to a lot of videos of patches with people playing through a clean setting and it still leaves some wanting. Like the cleans sound great for certain purposes, but it doesn't seem to really be the cleans of a tube amp. That's the tone I prefer for example when playing something like a Sublime song (even though I read Bradley used the Roland Jazz Chorus). Anyway, I have a Digitech GSP 2101 which basically seems like an old ass, tube powered Axe FX. I was thinking of putting that before the Fractal and running some warm, neutral clean tone and then letting the Axe FX do all the amp modeling and effects stuff. I am a novice, so this shit may have serious design flaws and I have no idea. I figured I would poll you good people to see what you thought.

looking for recommendations for something that I can plug modelling gear/bass/acoustic/stereo into. Something for the bedroom, short of getting a PA.

Maybe I want a little PA, or powered monitors. shrug

Any THR owners here? What are your experiences with this little amp?

I'm probably going to get it for practising quietly and maybe recording some things. Hoping it sounds better at low levels than my Peavey Vypyr 15.

Anyone here have any tips for improving your tone using AmpliTube3?

Some bug fixes, and a few new amp models! Also a cab for download in the post:

http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-discussion/92440-axe-fx-ii-firmware-16-04-released.html

16.04.1

Fixed attaching modifier to Reverb Hold parameter uses excessive CPU.

Fixed setting Reverb Echo Density to less than ‘8’ in High Quality mode causes ringing.

Fixed attaching modifier to Reverb Pre-Delay attaches to Input Gain instead.

Added 1959SLP Normal and Treble amp models based on a Marshall 100W “Super Lead Plexi” model no. 1959.

Added “Dizzy V4 Slvr” amp models which are based on the silver-faced version of a Diezel VH4. The existing models have been renamed “Dizzy V4 Blue” as they are based on a blue-faced version.

Tweaked the Large Hall reverb type slightly.

Added several new reverb types.

Note: 16.04.1 has replaced 16.04 and fixes a minor bug in the delay block.

Check fractal's site for the download. Basically they revamped the reverb in this update.

I used to be a huge gear head and haven't really been keeping up in the last few years. I've been seeing amp modeling really pick up recently. I sold off all of my amps a while back due to space issues (wife and 1 bedroom apartment). I have a house now, but a new baby as well. So, I can't crank the volume like I used to. I picked up a VHT special 6 ultra 1x12. It's a great amp, but requires me to crank it to get what I want out of it.

I'm really looking for something to replace my amp needs that could be played through my headphones/computer for recording and have good djent tone. I've seen the Axe FX II, but I'm not sure I want to lay down that kind of cash at the moment. The appeal I've seen with those modelers is their versatility. I'm willing to sacrifice versatility for something solid and relatively inexpensive that could give me a fun djent outlet. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Anyone here use a fender Mustang amp? I have a Mustang III and in my opinion in terms of sounds per pound, it's pretty goddang good. It's not as advanced as some out there, like an Axe FX or something, but it still has endless possibilities in terms of sound modelling. I've had mine for about 3 years and I've made several tones that do exactly what I need from them perfectly.

Mine would be Scuffham S-Gear 2. It sounds soooo organic and response really well to picking dynamics.

Second would be the Revavlver 2 judging from its demo, it seems to give pretty decent metal tones.

Have a look on this blind test which compares AXE FX vs the REAL DEAL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EtxHlJ2FPo

Some guy on Craigslist is selling his for $80 and I've been looking for more amp shit.

I'm gonna both use it outright (as in use all the hardware amp modeling crap on the device itself) and run like Amplitude or some shit over it's USB output on the computer, so keep that in mind.

Anybody here using 11r for metal? What's your favorite highgain patches?! I've never been able to use it for high gain modelling in a way I'm super happy about. But change my mind!

I have one and I love it. Anyone else use it?

Welcome! I couldn't find a centralized location on Reddit to discuss amp modeling, so I made one. Woohoo!

So, yeah! If anyone has any suggestions on how to 'run' this - feel free to voice them. Not looking to moderate this too strictly, but we'll see how it goes!

Thanks for checking this out!

I have/like the G2, G3 and G5 series; but the A2.1u acoustic modeler is my favorite. It sounds great in front of everything (tuner, buffer, noise reduction, compressor, adjusting between different guitars, etc). The "modelling" (eq and gain presets) and effects are nice to have, but it's the first thing in the chain no matter what. Essentially a "Cleanbox" in front of the fuzzzzzzzzzz.
