Cab-Pack 1 is now FREE!

Fractal constantly surprise me. Ever since I got the Axe II, my main mid gain sound has used the 4x12 Greenback G12M25 sound at Factory 37. Lately, I had been felling a bit "meh" about the sound, then along comes this cab-pack with really nice Greenback 4x12 IRs and I am once again inspired by...

Never get a good sound with Axe FX II

I just tried the Sweet Child patch and while it may be accurate to the track, it felt kind of stiffled. I think if you strip the patch back to just amp, cab and reverb, you will find it comes alive a lot more. As the patch is not really that high gain, the gate settings seemed a bit high for my...

Low cut/high cut

As others have mentioned, some fx blocks have the ability to cut high and low frequencies. One particular effect I use this on is chorus, when it is placed after the amp. If it is on a heavy patch and the chorus is being used for a thickening effect, then I will cut the high to 5k or less. This...

Low cut/high cut

I always do my cutting in the Cab block. I tend to cut the top at 12k as this gives a nice sheen and good harmonics at the top end, I compensate for this by not having the treble/presence too high in the amp. The bass depends more on the amp type and the amount of dirt, but varies from 80 to...

Where can I get old fractal speaker IRs?

As far as I can tell, you can only export User Cabs. I also looked into saving the block in Axe Edit, but all that does is reference the factory cabs which, of course, change with the firmware update. I have tried a tone match this morning and while it sounds similar, it is missing some of the...

Where can I get old fractal speaker IRs?

I have just gone back to 19.03b and the speakers are there. They are the Recto V30 RW and Recto V30 OH. The bonus is my stereo mix is also really good for cleans. I have a gig tomorrow, so I will stay on the beta, until I find an answer or an alternative.

Where can I get old fractal speaker IRs?

Hello, since updating to v19.00, I have found that 2 of my favourite heavy IRs, the OH V30 and the RW V30 have been replaced. Is there somewhere I can get these again, other than buying them? Apologies if this has been asked on previous updates, but I did a search and came up with nothing.

My five-scenes Engl patch pops when changing scenes

Hello Jakobscortum, I downloaded your patch (sounds pretty awesome by the way) but I could not get it to "pop" when changing scenes. I was only changing scenes using the front panel while sustaining a chord, but it was smooth across all the scenes. One thing I did notice was that it was...

Axe-Fx II Firmware 19.00 Public Beta #2

Not sure if this is a new feature or not, I have checked through the release notes. When you have a scene controller set to a value, that value is now reflected in the block. Previously, if I remember correctly, it just sat there on a random value. The change is very cool. By the way, loving...

Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.04 Released

I am really liking the new pre-amp valve options. Vintage on the Brit Brown, modern on the CA3+, it just seems to narrow it down to the sound I hear in my head really quickly. The feel is awesome in both cases.

I saw the video and you tone sounds fine to me. Very rocking! One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the high cut in the Cab block. If it is set to 20k you may have parts of your signal which may not be apparent causing the feedback squeal. You can easily cut it done to 8.5k without really...

It doesn't sound like auto-wah to me. I think there are 2 effects going on here. A manual wah and something like a phaser or a mutron type effect, with the wah doing a slower sweep and quicker peaks from another effect in between. The waves seem to be crossing each other so you won't get close...

It depends on the amp in question, but if we are talking specifically about higher gain sounds (FAS Brown and Das Metal, in my case) then I prefer to boost with a graphic EQ with a large frown shape. Up about 7-8 db in the middle down to about 1db at 4k and higher freq are actually blow 0 db...

My hottest guitars don't hit the red

Hi Craig, the setting he is talking about is in the Audio tab of the I/O section. If you don't have it set to Left only, you are effectively halving your input signal. My Strat hits the red at 32.5%.

I think the whole mid scoop thing has got a bit skewed. The thing is, a lot of these bands having mid scoops on their amps are using speakers like V30s which have some weird peaks in the mids. I think the one cancels out (at least to some extent) the other. Therefore, if you remove/change the...
