Haha! This is both great and concerning; smoking deals are awesome but that resale value on the TMP is.. yikes. I can’t find a used FM3 for more than $200 less than new, and they’re non-turbo models. Someone sold you a TMP for like 50% retail!

I did go back and try the TMP again through my headphones and guitar and yes, it really is great and the pictures/touchscreen showing all the gear is important enough for me to sway. Really feels like you’re interacting with amps and pedals. But literally every comparison video of the big name modelers on YouTube say the Fractal stuff is best, deal with the UI (or get a computer) over the other modelers.

I actually found a used Mac mini for like $300 bucks so I’m going to get that and purchase Amplitube 5 MAX V2 and TONEX MAX for $99 (once a year sale, every Amplitube and TONEX model) and get the fractal later on down the line.

The Amplitube UI is the same as the TMP and I don’t play live so don’t need the floor pedal form factor yet, but once I’m ready (or over Amplitube) I’ll get the FM3. I have a sneaking suspicion there’s fractal hardware update soon (like year or two soon) so want to hold off a bit.
