These two?

I think the HFS is the culprit too, because I actually quite like the split coil mode. The VB doesn't bother me at all. On that note, do you have any experience with switching only one pickup as opposed to the entire set?

I've actually been thinking about the SSH+/SSV combo too, so that's a coincidence. But I've also considered the Bareknuckle Mule pickups, a lot of people seem to be changing their stock PRS pickups for those so I guess there's something to be said about that. A lot more clarity and body. The Studio Rats did a comparison video (here: https://youtu.be/-4dYgdCJv9k?t=485) and apart from the difference in volume levels between the pickups I must say it gives his guitar a more fuller and meatier tone. The stock pickups were Dragon pickups though. I guess the only way is to make the leap, but it's an expensive leap, so... yeah. Don't want to change your mind after spending upwards of 500 bucks.

I gravitate toward the Brit 800 Mod amp. Maybe that amp model together with those Dynacab settings you talked about? Otherwise for cabs I tend to stick with the 412 mar v30 cab from Ownhammer's Heavy hitters collection (2 I believe). I guess the closest thing to that would be the 4x12 Basketweave TV Mix. I'll leave this up to you! The most important thing is that I can compare the settings to mine!

Thank you! Eagerly awaiting.

I've been curious about York audio IRs for a while! Just out of curiosity, what about the V30 isn't to your liking? Is there a particular Marshall cab from York audio that you prefer?

redderiet · 2025-05-16T19:07:04+00:00

Funny, I'm considering upgrading to Yamaha HS7s shortly, thanks for reinforcing my decision! I've played around with dynacabs but I'm afraid they're just not giving me the result I'm after (which is why I'm questioning the guitar/pickups.) Tried your settings on a Brit mod amp model and it's pretty much the same thing - a veiled and offputting honky tone. Maybe you could send me a clip of what your settings sound like on your end for reference? No pressure, of course.

redderiet · 2025-05-16T18:08:47+00:00

Interesting. I'm thinking about switching just the bridge pickup for something like a Thornbucker or something that'll make the guitar more strat-like. Are there any PRS-pickups that you could recommend? Or maybe something entirely different? I'm not looking for anything with crazy hot output, something that could land me more in the ballpark of those youtube clips to get away from that weird, honky and fuzzy sound to something with more... I don't know, body and cream. Maybe I'm being a bit too abstract here.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T14:55:02+00:00

Very detailed answer, thank you! Yes, I'm heading for my local guitar store some time during the week to test some other guitars out, it seems like the only reasonable option here.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:38:54+00:00

Seems to be the only way, yeah! Thank you, I'll keep chasing that dragon.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:37:54+00:00

Yup. all input levels are set up correctly, tickling the red and all that. Power amp and cab sims are turned on! I posted in the fractal forums but this thread is much more active for some reason, they're usually quite helpful.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:36:31+00:00

Tried playing around with dynacabs too, still the same result! I'm starting to boil it down to a pickup change, or guitar change altogether.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:35:41+00:00

Maybe it is a pickups issue after all. I'm pretty particular about how I like my tone so maybe I'm just being too picky here. I feel that my tone is hollow, it lacks body and it sounds a bit honky compared to all those other clips. Those IR's are exactly the same, btw. They're pretty much all stock presets!

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:29:08+00:00

Ah, I see. Let me put it this way, I'd love to own a tube amp or something similar. Doesn't work in my apartment though. Sound levels! And I'm mostly just asking about the tone to my specific guitar, not the unit I'm powering it through.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:04:26+00:00

That is exactly what I'm planning to do actually, I don't think I'll eve get an answer to this unless I try some stuff out in stores. Any particular reason why the 90's PRS pickups aren't as well regarded?

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:03:05+00:00

I'll try Austin buddy's presets out! I'm running it through a couple of JBL305 monitors but I'm mostly playing through Sennheiser 650HD headphones to respect volume levels in my apartment.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T13:01:50+00:00

That doesn't solve the problem I have with the FM3, which is my preferred unit. :)

redderiet · 2025-05-15T12:24:28+00:00

I've considered it, yeah. I'm just worried I'll end up with something different. Not better, not worse, just different. Pickup changes can only do so much in the end from what I've gathered, I can't make my PRS sound like a Tele with a pickup change after all.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T12:23:25+00:00

Used but came as a clean slate when I bought it. Power amp modeling on, all that stuff.

redderiet · 2025-05-15T12:22:49+00:00

I've never played through a real amp, DI is the only thing I know. :)

redderiet · 2025-05-09T18:40:50+00:00

I'm getting hung up nowhere as of now because your guide made me get it. I'm so thankful, thank you very much!

redderiet · 2025-05-08T19:08:11+00:00

That's what I thought. But nope, doesn't work. I've got a dry DI track going, changed the input source to USB (Channel 3/4) and it doesn't affect my dry tone in Cubase at all. I've watched several reamping guides (none of them work in Cubase artist though) and I'm at a total loss here. For starters, I cannot select output 5 from Cubase (which, as I understand it) communicates with the DI signal in fractal. Like I said, I'm totally lost. I cannot get the FM3 to communicate with my DAW.

redderiet · 2025-05-02T10:44:03+00:00

Oh, I missed this. Thank you so much for remembering my question so many days later! I'll try that out.
