Hi! 👋🏻 I’m Brad. I play guitar, love gear, especially amp modelers. I’m also kind of a nerd, so I might talk about guitar nerd stuff too.

So I’ve been told to just use the same ir s and if I don’t then to make sure I have the cuts the same cause when you switch amps on stage with different freq it’s gonna come through maybe I’m wrong but it works for me
Hey man just found your channel 60 seconds in glad to see Someone else with a fractal instead of the normal people that do that same thing
🙏🏼
Great work!
Can you send a link to your profile it sounds soo good 👍
Thanks This video was really helpful to me 👍
killer tone!
I never cease to be amazed by the extent to which Fractal goes with modeling in general. They are in a class of one in that regard.
Agreed! What really sets them apart for me is not only are the amp models the best, but the other effects are studio quality as well! You really can go all in on Fractal, in a way I am not sure you really can with other modelers. 🤷🏻🤘🏼
@@bradspaulding Yes, Fractal obviously is playing for keeps. They know there is a market happy to pay the price for perfection. I like companies like that. I rarely encounter a touring player without one or more.
Hey Bradley, where have you been?
22:55 sounds a bit like JOHN CORDY!!! Where is BRAD, LOVE your VIDEOS.
I love this vedio🤘Thank you❤
Nicely done. I want ADSRs not connected to level/pitch detection to allow triggering with a pedal. Others more reputable than myself have requested more flexible ADSRs as well, but so far, not implemented. Cheers, Daniel
That would be cool!
Does this work on axe fx ultra?
Gosh, it’s been so long, I honestly don’t remember how or if you can do this with the ultra. They changed a lot about controllers when they moved to the newer FC controllers. Sorry!
buenisimo,, gracias¡¡¡
Bradley you need to revisit this based on what Alan Phillips chimed in and gave you for information, that is if you are doing Videos anymore. Thanks, Miss you!!!
Indeed! I need to spend time digesting all that info. 😅
Nice! What dip setting do you use/like most? Is there any setting you would recommend for a Hendrixy lower gain/slightly clean tones? Just normal Super Lead? Thanks!
Yea I’d say it was left on Super Lead mode most of the time, for me. If you had a real bright amp and/or guitar maybe the super bass would be more responsive?
Dude, thanks so much! This is just great, the chorus method worked great! Awesome !
Just what I needed! Thanks!
Yes this is for me
Hi. I'm trying to use a 2 button footswitch (tried a Nux, and a Boss FS7) with my FM3. I can get the Tip side of the footswitch doing what I want (turning blocks on and off), but when I assign a block to the Ring side, pressing the switch turns the block on, then immediately off. I've tried changing all the settings many times (with 2 different TRS cables). Would anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Did you figure this out, yet? If not, maybe out the values for Switch 1/2 Ring Behavior. It can be set to momentary or latching. It sounds like maybe it’s set to momentary, perhaps? Guessing!
Bradley where are you we miss you.
🙏🏼 thanks for the kind words! Taking a break due to a new growth in the family… 👶🏻🤘🏼
just discovered your channel and you have great content bro! loving the tones i'll be applying those to my fx3, that xotic is gorgeous what pups are on that beast? thank you
AFAIK they are xotic’s own, I believe they call them “RAW” or something like that?
What models of amps are you using in the intro? Sounds sooo good. Especially the first picking. Edge of break up tone also the strumming that comes right after. So thick and creamy
🙏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼it’s been a minute but it was proooob the Morgan AC20 (12ax7, bright). I use that for pretty much everything. 😅
trying to do this on fm9 but in IO settings there is no option for tip/ring, only expression or switch. is this something that went away or got changed in th latest firmware? I am on 5.01
It looks like the FM9 can’t do this fancy dual switch TRS thing? Seems odd, but the manual only mentions a single TS foot switch. You can use two external switches, you just have to use both pedal jacks to do so. That’s a bit of a bummer. :(
Nothing thrilling with these- I have my 3 fuzz pedal in line before the FM9- got my usual fuzz I know and use. Face was decent
I wonder how it compares to the CAZ45
Thanks! I added a two button switch and this helped al ot
Glad it helped!
Great video, great playing, I'm in! Subscribed 🎸💯
Thanks for the sub!
Big fan of your stuff
Brad where have you Gone??
Where is Brad??? miss you!!!!
Bradley primero que todo gracias por dedicar parte de tu tiempo para compartir tu conocimiento. El video me resulto bastante ilustrativo para lograr nuevo sonido con Wah y el filtro en realidad esto permite ser creativo en busca de nuevos sonidos. Un Saludo
Glad the video was helpful! 🤘🏼
Great post, thanks! Another reason for using parallel is if and/or when I want to keep the different effects’ characteristics separate. I was skeptical of this when I first heard about it; coming from the amp/pedal world, but I do find that it makes a difference. Fact is that I tend to go linear most of the time, though. And I do like that you’ve shown how to keep the trails happening. Awesome unit, the FM9!
Where did you buy that yellow FM3/Expression pedalboard?
www.amazon.com/NUX-NPB-M-Guitar-Pedal-Board/dp/B07YKPDS12
Nice playing. Thanks for the kind words on my work :) 13:30 onwards sounds very close to how a Tuc 3 records, except that tone would be found with the master volume waaaay lower, input gain(gain) higher and drive higher (both about 2 o clock). You'd never run the original amp with the master that high. EQ's seem close to how they would be for that tone. The original Tucana I designed just for myself, who would want a 3 channel amp with 6550/KT88's with so many people having wrong preconceived ideas about those tubes in guitar amps......but to mys surprise some people did like it. The Tuc 3 with autobias was the best amp in the entire CA catalog IMHO. THe KT88's give it an even thick tone which makes it possible to lean more in the preamp design without the power tubes affecting the overdrive makeup too much. The model in Cliffs units sounds pretty close to the original, though the width and touch sensitivity is never going to be identical. I used T75's that were stock in a Trace Elliot 2x12 I bought in 1988 and it pretty much got used for every gig I played. Sometimes I used a CA 1x12 cab l;oaded with an EVM-12L. Try an EV with the model. Its should give a more balanced frequency response especially in the highs but just, not at all harsh with no spikes. Well thats what happens with the real amp anyway. The 'gain' is the input gain and is between gain stages 1 and 2, the drive is between stages 3 and 4. A different combination gives different OD colors. I tended to like the Input Gain pretty much always at 2 O'Clock on the OD channel and higher on the clean channel (The Tuc 3 has them separate). With the input gain cranked on the clean channel (A) a humbucker guitar will overdrive a little for that perfect edge of breakup tone that sounds very similar to pushed Plexi where the lower mids start to kick in. Not sure if the model goes that deep. Cheers, Alan.
How cool! How does this amp compare to the CAZ45?
😮 DUDE! I don’t know how you found this little video but I appreciate the heck out of you watching and caring to comment at all! I will download all of this truth and re-apply. 🙏🏼 I hope to one day have the pleasure of playing through the real thing! (Definitely not at max MV… 😂😭) 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@bradspaulding I appreciate that the amps are still liked and that there are models of them in various units for people to play and hear. I worked directly with Cliff to get the CA models as close as possible in his products. He really liked the Tuc3 himself and owns one. I loved designing amps, I just hated the how burned out and negative the Industry made me in the end and ultimately why I had to stop........also lots of used CA's on the market didn't help business either. You end up competing against your own products and people buying them expect the same level of customer service.
@@alanphillips4851this is amazing! I hear a lot of folks “rocking” through these amps. I have a fractal unit and play a lot of West African styles that need vibrant clean tones. What are some best-practice settings for cleaner tones on the fractals Tucana model? Thanks!
Brilliant, detailed, practical information. I found the factory preset in the FM3, and found it to be perfect for my Yamaha Revstar with P90 pickups. I haven't yet explored the amp settings beyond Input Gain. I tried putting a few drive pedals in front, with minimal drive, and they sounded great. I look forward to exploring the settings you describe. Thanks for supporting us musicians!
Hi, great video just a suggestion you can just use the looper to tweak the amp or cap. Have a blessed day.
once I use,I ditched neural dsp plugin, it feels so good. i only use archetype nolly for effects and ir loader right nowadays
Good stuff, BS. What do you set the Fractal input gain in Setup to?
The manual says to set it as high as you can without clipping. It should not affect your tone, the level is normalized. Unless it clips, obv, so that’s the main function is to just make sure you do not clip.
Sounds amazing, thank you so much for sharing the preset! works perfectly on my FM3
Hi! At the FM3 with an external footswitch, can I go back to the master layout (scenes, presets, effects) from these three layouts? I try to replace the “hold the middle switch to go back to the master layout” for example from the effects. If yes what switch do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Yes you can, Master Layout is a function you can assign. Any switch you have should work!
Setup > FC Controllers > GOTO SWITCH (knob E) > FM3 Layout
nice channel, just a tip : when using a delay with a headroom option, always max it to 12 db, it will save you of dealing with any artifacts when you get to crank the amp too much.
Yep if you want the delays clean, for sure! Sometimes it’s nice to dirty them up though. :)
I have a Tucana 3 if intested
Have you listed it anywhere?!
What's your price?
@@m.m.1575 make a a realistic offer. It’s a fantastic amp and would take a lot for me to let it go. I bought this directly from Alan the owner. This is truly a exceptional amp.
@@bradspaulding no because I am not sure if I want to let it go. I have many of Alan’s amps that I purchased directly from him. They are killer. I need to sell some stuff running out of room. I also have a JB100 Red also I have Joes JB100 red he used to record John Henry with. I purchased directly from him. I also have the Carol Ann he used on his first Albert Hall performance with Eric Clapton. Anyway glade to see people interested in these killer amps. Make me a offer it would need to be good for me to let it go.
I bought an OD2 because of the fractal model it's so freaking good. There's a carol ann JB100 "red" on reverb right now if you want the bonamassa sound
I have two reds and one was Joes he used on John Henry album
I also have the Carol Ann Joe used on his first RAH dvd that Clapton joined him
Bradley, great tone. I have a question though, I tried a similar procedure as yours and live I could not get enough volume. What do you reccomend to gain volume without an amp block? Thanx!
You should be able to get the level you need with the various Level controls available to you. The main tool to check out would be the preset output level.
I think the idea behind the Setlist and Songs is great, though personally the main barrier for me using it would be audio gaps when selecting scenes from various different presets
Ah, the Improvisers OS. Great book. Krantz just released a book of tabs, with stories behind the songs - I'm waiting for that to arrive.
Great tasty tone! Are we able tobuse these settings on the AX-8?
I have no experience with the AC-8, but I used similar settings on my Axe Fx Ultra and 2, so it might work?
@bradspaulding thanks man! The Morgan AC20 Deluxe is my all time favorite amp for Church worship setting! You just can't make that amp sound bad. It cuts so good thru the mix. I just add a bit more mids playing it live and it really does cut thru the mix. The AC20 model on the Fractal AX-8 is truly so good and worth the price of the Amp modeler seriously. Thanks for your wonderful video!
I was looking for sime nice settings to get to the wanted vibrato sound. Found it. Thanks a lot!
This and your ODS vid are really useful thank you.
Enjoyed that young man! You present and play well 👌🏻 I’m your 808 subcriber which is fitting for a pedal review 😆
😂 Thanks for the sub! 🤘🏼
This model is hands down the best model if you want the cleanest headroom! I've been waiting for amps like this for years! I always preferred the Axe2 when I needed a clean headroom / dynamic amps. Thanks for the demo!
