Which ones? The friendly ones? Or the funny ones?

What pedals, what amp.

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h The pedals will remain nameless because I don't want to cause any rifts. It hasn't replaced any of my amps. I got rid of my tube amps when Quilter went in to business about 9 years ago and I played though one. What I do is run my Axe into the front end of the Quilters.I tried the 4 cable method and I didn't care for it. I do use the amp and cab modeling. I think of it more as a different type of EQ in this instance. Quilters take pedals and modelers really well, something that most tube amps don't do. When Pat Quilter designed his amps he made sure of that. A lot of people don't know that Pat is the 'Q' in QSC. Before he started making sound reinforcement equipment he built tube amps for many years. There's still a few of them floating around. After he retired from QSC (he still has controlling interest in the company) he decided to go back to building guitar and bass amps.

@@BeachJazzMusic I left fractal to return to pedals and amps, now fractal sounds horrible to me when I see youtubers hocking it. I did like fractals ambient effects though.

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h All I can say is each to his own. Whatever sounds good to the player who is using it.

Andrew, Levi and all, I have an AXE FX II XL and I don't get that inspired to use it (home studio mainly). I almost always end up on my Neural plugins. Do you think that upgrading to an AXE FX 3/FM9 might have that extra something? (I know you would only be surmising here ;-)) P.S. Sounds fantastic here. Maybe it's my setup (tho the plugins sound great). AXE FX 2 => 18i20 => Reaper => Presonus S-8 speakers

I still have and use my Kemper regularly!

Do you notice a huge difference in tone quality between those two? I just got a FM9- no clue how to use it...yet!

Thanks Ricky!

Do you like it better? TONE X? and pedals.

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h I do prefer ToneX and pedals. In my experience the captures (I use exclusively ToneJunkie captures) have a better tone and more importantly, feel to them. They also clean up better with volume roll off. I’m using the ToneX with the new H90 for fx and Browne Protein for drives. A simple board, but covers everything I need. Downside is there are no dual amps (unless you buy two ToneX pedals) which doesn’t bother me. Also ToneX is still developing, so it may be more difficult to find quality captures of particular amps you may be looking for. Another big part of leaving Fractal was the UI… I just don’t like all the page jumping and scrolling, and don’t want to have to use my laptop to build/modify patches. YMMV 👍

@@taylormesa Nice dude. I too dislike mixing computer or "apps" with my pedals. Interested in the toneX, fractal was a little too ITB.

Fractal is far better than headrush. I have both. Actually I have the headrush pedalboard, headrush prime, axe fx 3 and fm9. Headrush is making some strides buy they aren't there with fractal yet.

@@dchicora Thank you. Appreciate you.

@@dchicora Fractal FM9 it is.

@@AngelMartinez-qs3cf you won't be disappointed.

It’s not really a gigging solution at this point. Great tool though in the studio.

You do plug this into a cabinet

How do you think people are going to hear it without moving air?

@@LeviClay Wow thanks for the smartass reply, wasn’t expecting that! I think you know what I mean. You were playing straight into your Focusrite pre and monitoring through you studio monitors I would imagine. I think it’s a valid question because you are use to hearing your playing through guitar cab in a room.

@@jazz_grooves maybe stop imagining and listen to what I say, I am playing through a cabinet in this video.

@@LeviClay Thanks for clarifying that. What a pleasure it’s been to talk to you, good luck with that stinking fucking attitude man!

oh cool! look! It's one of those guys who thinks he knows what "digital" sounds like.... despite the fact that, time and time again, they can NEVER reliably pick out modelling amps in blind A/B tests. And that's before you consider that EVERY amp they listen to (unless they're in a room with it) has been through analogue to digital conversion to turn it into a video/something can can be distributed. You're the worst. And not a fraction as smart as you've convinced yourself you are.

Yeah? Tell me more, what’s the difference?

@@LeviClay sounds more organic Levi, especially the sounds with dirt on them and also the basic sound of the amp - but will people at a gig notice? Great if you can afford both. Enjoy you channel.
