NAM on Fractal AXE FX III?

[BenoA]

Most of those cheap pedals do their own conversion to a lower quality format than original NAM, or they are starting to use NAM A2-lite. If I went this route, I would at least look for something that can do NAM A2-full, like the Sonulab or Dimehead.

Yes and thanks for the reminder. I know about the limitations of those cheap units but my first thoughts was to get into NAM without having to be connected to a computer as I did spend too many hours with the standalone software and my computer.

If Fractal is joining the NAM club and these could be ran with a AM4 or FM3, that could be a very interesting solution that doesn't break the bank.

NAM is open source and doesnt require fractal snake oil to run. Its not their tech, they're using it. A linux environment and C++ DSP library is a good start. Theres a git-hub starter project or some shit on git-hub already. Google "raspi-nam".

Fractal snake oil? Fractal has been been making top notch pro quality gear for around twenty years now. What is snake oily about them in your opinion?

It’s never a good sign when NAMBLA shows up on your block

Why do you have a problem with Marlon Brando?

Snake oil wasnt the correct noun phrase. I shouldve used "secret sauce". Nothing wrong with fractal at all. Ive owned a FM3 for years now.

But if I'm going to start bashing that company... WTF is taken them so long to put out a 1U rack effects only processor?

My guess is it wouldn't sell.

The VP4 is a great effects only unit. I have been impressed with the transparency of it, and I am super picky about that.

I presume that they're just following the direction of the market. Everybody moved back to pedal boards instead of racks. That's where the money is at.
