Same! I recently acquired a Fractal FM3, the most basic floor version of their Axe FX3, and it won me over very quickly. I’ve been a tube amp purist for many years but this thing sounds so good and simplified my live and recording workflows dramatically. Even without its magically incredible effects, it was amazing, but I was blown away when I started digging deeper.

Acquired the Fractal FM3 last month as well and it has been amazing. So much to explore and learn! I really feel this is easily the best time to be guitar player. So much awesome gear that is easily accessible. I love it!

I tell you what I'll trade you the gear for the chance to play the Marquis club in the 60's! There was so much to learn about what guitars could do back then.

I don't know. I just listened to some it examples on the web and the cleanish sounds still don't match the sound of a real amp to my ears. Although if was in a cover band, I'd definitely use one since it can cover so many different sounds.

Are you comparing it to the mic'd sound of the real amp?

Yes. Also there may be much better bass amp simulators out there, but the ones that come with logic don't come anywhere close to the sound I get direct from my Mesa TT-800.
