Great video!

[@a.phakic4854]

Unbelievable power! Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

[@tdz69]

Awesome. I’ve been using this “talent knob” for a while with an expression pedal. Have two and one is dedicated to delay. Allows me to adjust on the fly and is extremely helpful indoors since every room is different and easy for a preset to have way too much. Being able to instantly dial in with my foot is a must.

[@AudioAtmos]

Massive set of pointers. Thanks!!

[@tonyvanover2253]

Great tutorial ! This is what Ive been missing ! (both the talent and the modifiers) I feel like I really understnd this much better now. I dont know why I had not considered setting up multiple items in this manner. Though it could take a bit of time to set up for mere mortals. There seem to be infinite possibilities and mind is swimming with too many ideas.

[@nmtodorow]

Great info, Thanks!!!

[@jimmccall8030]

Very cool, thanks!

[@akatom2u]

Thanks a lot, another great video!

[@Team512]

Another killer video! My only problem is I would leave the pedal all the way down all the time!😂

[@ivorycybernetics]

had fractal products for more than 10 years now....and still amazed at the possibilities....really...now i just wished i could use it live...

[@kfliegner]

Wow first rate tips! Thanks!

[@seldonsinq]

I loved seeing that even with all those blocks added, the cpu usage was at around 36%.

[@rsvette123]

Great video thanks much

[@oldman0995]

Thank you this helped me a lot

[@elianejoly5352]

Thanks a lot!.Cooper Carter .✋🧑‍🎤

Output Comp... WTH, this piece of gear never stops impressing me! I'll have to dig into the feedback setting too. 11:12

[@jasonalexander5253]

Great info here. Thank you Cooper. if you have several presets (with basically the same block layouts), can you globally copy the modifiers you make over to each preset?? I am guessing not, but worth the question 😀

[@Allann882]

That's incredible on Fractal this is an engeneer tool...

[@gitarman666]

Good stuff CC I still enjoy and reference your axefx3 course It’s a complicated box and those lessons are great as are all the included patches I use the Rigs of Powah that you tough us to build for small live venues through the PA So now I’ll add this talent knob idea to one of my Mission pedals for solo boosting Gotta hit the FC-12 section soon and learn all that stuff But I’m glad that you still allow acccess to the course But still using my old half stack tube rigs for larger shows especially outside then the fractal becomes my FX processor

[@tonyvanover2253]

Finally what I really need

[@Connerlakemusic00]

sick love the videos cooper they help alot

[@melomantn]

Greaaaaat video

[@antony71p]

awesome tutorial as always , just a note though , at 14:38 the ms delay on the L side might be set to 666 ..... i can hear Jasons call from Friday 13th when you check it with the chunks

[@timbrooks521]

Always enjoy your content. Question about your classes, do they get updated as new firmware is released with new features? Thanks!

[@ianlea9905]

Another great video @coopercarter with some inspiring ideas. One question though - once you have assigned a modifier to a parameter, doesn't that prevent manual adjustment? For example, if you assigned bass, middle, treble and gain controls on an amp block to a modifier (as in your video), would that prevent me from adjusting them "manually" when "double tapping" the "A" knob on my FM9 to quickly access the amp settings? If so, is there a workaround?

[@ryanpaulretouch]

Right, that's it, I'm selling the pedalboard.

[@lyricbread]

I need this on a toggle switch on my guitar. Bluetooth perhaps?

[@sergioescalona9]

Is there a limit for how many parameters you can assign to a "talent knob/pedal"?

[@6Stringers]

this here is really the under-the-hood magic of the fractal ecosystem. Im working on a preset with similar control mindset, centered around a Tom Sholz Boston first album lead tone, that ramps in 2 part harmonies, bumps the eq a tad, etc. All into the expression pedal as youve done here. Hard (or impossible) to do with other effect processors. Interestingly, I have a Boss GT-100, that has the ability to do this kind of control as well. I just dont really like the 'Boss' sound. The fractal models are way way better. In relation to that, i'm also trying to figure out a way to mimic the hyperspace effect tom created. If you have any ideas, please feel free to point me in right direction :) Thanks for the vid

[@GP-mk5tj]

Question on the compression speaker that you're adjusting. I have two tube amps which I play out loud going to output 3 before the cab. I use headphones when the family is home and doesn't want to be disturbed and at night time. Before changing the output 3 with the tube amps, I set the amp block from FRFR to SS Poweramp and turn the compression off. Should I go back and turn the compression back on because I'm using the headphones?

[@ChrisBucheit]

Anyone know how to set up "Pedal 1" output jack for an expression pedal?

[@G66eu]

Hi, Knut here from the Support Team. Great question! Please email us at [e-mail] so I can assist you personally.

[@user-ij5ny6uc9f]

Which unit IYHO is the Best, Fractal III, Kemper, the new little square box ( name I keep forgetting) Quad Cortex that's it. LOL The Fractal looks intimidating to me.

[@bumnutz09]

Axe Fx is the best. I had one and sold it purely because of the form factor. Now i own a Quad cortex. Axe FX updates regulary, sounds killer and the possibilities are endless. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it. The QC updates are sooo bloody slow and when they do come not many things are added. Fractal products just seem to get better and better whilst it seems like the QC is a forgotten product. Fractal is easy enough to learn even for someone like me who has no patience for endless tweaking. Even though im a quad cortex user, i'd recommend the fractal units over it. And skip the kemper, its crap in comparison to both of them.

[@brendanpmaclean]

I think it’s really down to the ears of the beholder, so to speak. I ended up using the FM9 because it felt better than the other modellers out there. I’ve used Helix, Boss modellers and the Quad Cortex and honestly, the sounds are all pretty good so it all came down to feel. To me, the FM9 has a certain something that appeals but is difficult to quantify or define. If you’re looking to get into Fractal products, you can’t go wrong with the FM3.
