There’s something special about fractal tones. And those verbs and long cloudy delays are killer!
I can't put my finger on it exactly. But this is the best sounding all-in-one modeler I've heard to date. Just has that polished/finished sound. Mix ready.
I honestly think you can make any amp or modeler to sound amazing.
I honestly would have to agree with your honest comment.
True, but with Fractal it's hard to make it sound bad...that's the difference between them
@@deltafit I meant JNC, specifically. I've never owned a Fractal, but I've never heard one sound bad either.
@@deltafitwhat do you mean by that? Like you have to exaggerate parameters on the unit to get just objectively bad sounds?
Street Fighter II Turbo Edition. Can't wait for Fractal Tournament and Fractal Championship Edition
Fractal is the one modeler I haven’t tried yet. I went from a hx stomp to a quad cortex now I’m trying the gt1000core. I was afraid of all the menus and the learning curve but now that I have the gt1000 figured out I am not so afraid anymore. Looks fun.
Please let me know if you have jumped to Fractal. I'm looking to my first "expensive" modeler, hopefully a FM3 Turbo
Hey, I’m still on a quest for a perfect modeller. I’ve had the gt1000 core (still have it) tone master pro and quad cortex. I like the tone master pro due to having Bluetooth to play backing tracks for practice also dual amp ability but I’m not to happy with the effects on there. Quad cortex was ok but I just wastent happy with the gap when switching presets I know you can do scenes but I want to switch presets and the fact you can’t do that in 2023-2024 is wild! The 1000core can switch presets with no gaps but if your using delay and reverb you need the same one on the preset for spill over and it defeats the object of switching lol
Wow that scene one is amazing. Never tried a lot of those blocks. Feel like I could get lost in that one for a while. Need to check those out.
The sounds are epic! (The playing is awesome, btw!)
Amazing riffs at the beginning! Superbe playing
I respect this unit, but the "TURBO" text needs to be bigger. Should be printed across the top of the 3 label screens "T U R B O". Fractal always seems to have the crispy juicey pick attacks, not murky and also lots of detail in the high end. Larry Mitchell gets some really cranked ampy sounding tones from it as well. It's above my pay range but sounds great to me. Especially the reverbs vs GT-1000 reverbs.
Hi John!
Digital John!
That reverb is great!
That's it. I am selling some things and getting an FM9
Excellent playing. However the best tone from you was on the Tonex for me. I am keen on the Fractal but never find a good example of clean guitar sound on Fractal Videos. Can you please do a video on Jazz type sound on FM3?
Here is a video john did a while ago that has some cleans on it, there is delay/reverb on them, but they are clean. Hope this helps. Maybe check some of Worship tutorials stuff on Fm3/Fm9 they usually have lots of clean stuff too. here is johns video i mentioned: ruclips.net/video/82AZC3Ri6nU/видео.html
here is an even better one that John did 3 years ago, everything in Fractal is even better than it was 3 years ago, dyna cabs. being one of them. here it is: ruclips.net/video/UV7NxIKmLY4/видео.html
Here is another, by another user, this all works for FM3/FM9 and the Axe3 too: ruclips.net/video/0-qnHqe_eA8/видео.html
The Carol ann od2 sounded Great.
Sounding beautiful... the Fractal and your playing. But it's just beyond affordability for me at this point.
Maybe the FM3 mk1 will drop in price? I’d buy a MK1 for cheap
How much DSP does the transpose/polypitch block use? I might retire before NDSP gets anywhere near the effects/amp choice, maybe it's time to look at alternatives.
Is there a sound difference between the fm3 and fm9 ?
can you change those scenes wihout an audio gap?
Regarding dual amp setup... Is it possible to run a real amp on stage and use the fractal fm3 as the second amp into FOH for wet/dry? I haven't been able to find any videos on this so far.
Helix or fm3 . Which one is best when it comes to tones? How many amps on fm3?
FM3 too small, FM9 too big. With the best will in the world, three buttons are not enough - no matter how many functions you can assign, just a minefield live. UI would be soooo much better if they had a touch screen like QC, with the 'full on' desktop editor for the much vaunted deep sea divers. Most people I'd guess would be happy with a two-tier UI .... basic quick stuff on a touch screen - rather than umpteen buttons and scrolls and fiddly stuff on the units at the moment. FM6 with touch screen would do it 🙃
I honestly prefer these kind of devices not to have a touchscreen. I don't have experience with the Fractal UI but with HX Stomp it would actually probably be worse trying to fiddle with a tiny screen. Plus, I'd reckon a touchscreen would be a liability in the long run if you tour, you would need a beefy case for it for sure.
@@Artec619 Yes all fair enough. I would hope that the better a system gets - the simpler it ought to be to use - that's good technology. I'm not really too bothered about breaking a touchscreen - they are very tough - whereas a boot landing on a row of plastic buttons would concern me more - as would a spilt drink. Swings and roundabouts. I think in the heat of battle (a gig) I'd prefer the cartoony drag and drop fast crystal clear visuals you get on the QC (not tried a Helix) which are going to be pretty fast and easy to use if a quick change is needed. The idea of navigating the Fractal screen in a hurry scrambles what's left of my mind.
@@westernelectricsoundsystem7532 Sure, in my personal experience depending on a touchscreen in a hot gig with sweaty hands would be a nightmare too!! Cheers
I have the Helix for many years, I really wonder if I would notice a real difference if I change it to a AxeFX. they are quite expensive!
i have both, the fm3 is really much better !
I sent the fractal fm9 turbo back, kept the helix (owned since 2015). Factory presets on the fractal are amazing, helix not so much. When comparing my presets to the fm9 it was tit for tat. User interface - the helix 🤙🏽
remember, it's the FEEL of the modellers too. This is where the Fractal shines above the rest imo
@@deltafitthe feel through an amp or studio monitors?
@@JosePineda-jn8jk both
would it be possible to upgrade the chips from the version 1 to as good or as developed improved compatible chips?
FM3 or Kemper Stage?
Ist zis ze most profezzinalezt modeller eva?
its different enough for an excuse to milk a bit more unsuspecting consumers
This seems like a big ol’ cash grab.
Absolutely not. This is a terrible piece of equipment. Your recommendation was 100 miles off the mark. I can’t wait to send mine back.
Maybe it’s not the device but the user itself? Always easy to blame manufacturer/hardware …..
@@Photographiecp Always easy to blame the musician. I’ve only been playing for 60 years, so what do I know? The hardware interface is terrible. The software is quite good, but barely mentioned in the manual, which is unapologetically directed at audio engineers (see the first question in the FAQ). The unit struggles with basic amp tones. For example, a real ‘59 Bassman has 6 knobs and 2 switches, while the Fractal version has about 75 knobs and 20 switches in 10 menus. That should tell you something. The unit handles single coil tones well but struggles with humbuckers, unless you’re playing grunge or metal. The USB interface shuts down the volume control on your computer. The only thing I miss since sending it back is the “always on” tuner.
@@slicksalmon6948 what does one have to do with the other? There are also a lot of people who have had a license for 60 years, are they good drivers? That's not a valid statement that qualifies you to say a device isn't good. And I don't blame you, maybe it really isn't for you, that's perfectly ok. I recently bought an amp that is really fantastic, but just not for me, so I sent it back. Nowadays we're really quick to label an appliance as not good just because we don't want to invest the time because we're not used to it anymore. Thanks to smartphones etc., everything has to be available in seconds, if you have to delve deeper, it's "too complicated" etc. The best example is QC. They are popular because most people enjoy the simple user interface that results from the overuse of smartphones that leads to this situation where people are not even able to use their brains OR criticize devices just because they are not able to engage with it for more than 3 seconds.
