    Who Wants to Test Some New Firmware? (12.03 Beta 5 UPDATE)

    The six way tone selector is just a highpass filter that controls the amount of bass. It's nothing too fancy.

    Is the AC30 TB in V12 healthy?

    This. I actually like the sound better with the MV around 8 instead of 10. Also, the cab will make a big difference. Try the AC-30 Silver mix, mono hi-res.

    Bug: Clearing and Initializing a Preset doesn't reset blocks (resolved)

    Using Axe-Edit 3.0.1, FW 11.03 and factory preset #128. 1.I used the Axe-Edit menu and selected "Clear Preset" and "Initialize Preset" 2. When selecting the Amp block, it defaults to the parameters from the original preset instead of resetting the amp block. I'm not sure if this is a bug...

    Getting the trainwreck rocket sound

    It's a clone in the sense that Ken Fischer didn't build it himself, but both the Komet and Ruby are two of the best clones available (unless you want to spend 30k+ on a real one).

    Firmware Version 10.04 Now Available

    Wow, seriously impressed with the two Trainwreck inspired amps. It's gonna sound amazing. Cliff, can we please get the EF86 mode of the AC20 Deluxe? I have a DC-30ish clone and love the EF86 channel. To my knowledge there's no current model in the AxeFX with an EF86 preamp.

    MFC Availability 2013?

    You're flat out wrong. Price gouging is forcing everyone to pay a higher price. This allows them to work their way through the wait-list, but if somebody absolutely needs one now, they can pay a premium.

    Request running two delays tips

    As a primarily P&W player, delays are something I've put a lot of time and effort in. Here are some of the things I've gathered: 1. One thing I like to do (a trick I picked up from Scott) is to run my delays in parallel with my dry signal, set the mix on the delay to 100%, and use the level...

    Using Axe Fx II through head, help?

    Yes if it has an effects loop. You can use the AxeFX as a preamp and the tube amp (via effects loop) as a power amp.

    tap tempo on MFC 101 cuts out

    My guess is that your Tap Tempo CC# is the same as another CC# that's cutting the volume on/off. Look under your MIDI settings on your AxeFX and see if the tap tempo CC is the same as something else.
  33. mmcm4

    What amp would you buy if the Axe Fx didn't exist?

    Matchless DC-30, Badcat, or a Morgan.

    Notch/Bandbass filter curves differ?

    The bands are in parallel in a graphic EQ, but the components of the bandpass filters are in series (ex. lowpass filter connected to a highpass filter).
  35. mmcm4

    Notch/Bandbass filter curves differ?

    A bandpass or notch filter is a high-pass and a low-pass combined together in series. The difference between the two is determined by where the -3dB cutoff frequencies are for the high and low pass filters.
  36. mmcm4

    I need to nail this exact tone. Please help.

    Notch/Bandbass filter curves differ?

    Notch filters are not mathematically equal to the inverse of band pass filters. I've tried to upload images of the different transfer functions, but something keeps messing up. Here's a handout from a class that should show the difference. See pp. 6-8...

    Hiwatt / Too much bass??

    using scene's with 2 amps and effects.. getting weird pops and clipping
