The Fractal FM 9: The Undisputed King of Modeling (Review)


While newer entrants to the market, such as Quad Cortex and a small
handful of others, attempt to aim themselves toward the throne, I feel that Fractal Audio remains
the undisputed king of professional-level amp and effects modeling in a holistic sense; their
expertly crafted hardware, USB functionality, and MIDI control are additionally considered. But as
is the case with many top-notch products in their classes, this superiority comes with its fair
share of complexity.

Fractal Audio Systems’ FM9 is world class; touring class; professional grade. To get the most
out of it, which is to say, to personalize it, you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves and get a
bit dirty – unless you’re already familiar with Fractal Audio methodology.
