JOHN MAYER on digital modelers

[Will Chen]

Curious why don't we ever get a "what does Plini think of modelers?" type of thread...

 

[Jo]

Oh for the love of God...

I see what you did there …

 

[ejecta]

Video is three years old.

Yeah that was back when the Fractal firmware wasn’t “there yet” when compared to tube amps…. oh wait a minute.

What does Steve Vai think?

He thinks it needs a fan blowing his hair.

 

[Short Tooth]

That’s because the whole topic has already been beat to death and nobody cares anymore.

It’s all a big “yawn…”

Ight. Definitely understand that.

He's really good but who cares? Not even a little bit

2 pages of comments that boil down to gifs, wapposh, and yet no one has refuted his two very good points... Modelers are basically trying to count clouds and interpolate physics. And the last 5% is the hardest, or another way. You have a pretty good chance of missing 5% of something along the way. I will agree that these are tools, and every tool has a place. Wapposh out ✌

This is getting to be too easy…

The hype knob on the new archetype:wapoosh really gives you that wapoosh in the room feel!

 

[Toolmaster Of Brainerd]

I didn't really care about Mayer before, but now I respect him.

 

[TL;DR]

I know its not the guitars section, but this is the first thread ive seen where John Mayer is mentioned multiple times but surprisingly no mention of the Silver Sky or Silver Sky SE....

He did mention the 7.25 radius!

He did mention the 7.25 radius!

Are we sure he was referring to his guitar?

 

[Foxmeister]

I am genuinely surprised that NDSP haven't already approached John Mayer about an "Archetype: Mayer" plug-in, with a Wapoosh custom amp model.

Wapoosh in the room is really more a smell than a feel. (Would explain Vai’s fan, too!)

I have made my contribution on the subject here

SE Silver Sky - not interested

Schecter Nick Johnston is $50 more than the SS SE, made in Indonesia by Cort. Both are over priced? Maybe. But if it’s a good instrument, it’s a good instrument. Indonesian PRS are also made by Cort BTW. Nick Johnston might be 50$ more but, as someone already wrote, has better/more expensive...

The fact that he's choosing to use a modeler says something. The rest is just jibber jabber.

Dude can play though.

Yes, says he was well paid by Fractal.

The two very good points John Mayer talks about, are not jibber jabber, as others said.
I noticed them as many others have noticed them. The famous "wooosh", the way an amplifier fattens with harmonics or thinning his sound depending on the strengh of the picking, is not jibber jabber. It is a matter of fact. Who doesn't notice it is because has zero dynamics in his playing.
Because he has never used the kind of amps that John Mayer uses, namely Fender and Dumble. Maybe his reference tone is a dimed Mesa Dual Rectifier.

The third point is how a modeler responds to change in guitar volume. Anyone who has ever played on a Marshall, for example, knows that the amp cleans up when you roll back the volume pot on your guitar. On Fractal, nothing of the kind happens. When John rolls back the volume pot, the sound is still crunch, but only with less volume.
