How does Cliff (or employees of Fractal) monitor this beast?

Thanks for the useful comments. The funny comments are funny, don't add any value to the forum. Surely the peeps at fractal test these on more than one set of studio speakers.

How does Cliff (or employees of Fractal) monitor this beast?

I was just curious if anyone would explain the process of how Fractal listens to it's product. I have heard Cliff uses JBL PRX612s but I cannot confirm that. I am sure it's a more detailed process than that.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 4.01 Public Beta

Any body else having issues with downloading the XL file using a Mac and Firefox? I get this weird exe file in my downloads folder and it hangs up.

Cab Bank Number - Axe Edit vs Fractal Bot - Need Consistency

I have 2 axe fx xls, 1 is for a backup. In order to keep these matching each other I use Fractal Bot to export cabs and presets. This can be a time-consuming process. This process has lead me to an issue... When looking at Cabs in Axe Edit, the numbers count up and then start over once you get...

FAS Amp Block Issues

Daniel thanks for your help bro. I will go screen by screen. I actually started doing this on today's Friedman BE preset and it was sounding better already but I am not through the all the screens. It's just weird that the import is not even close on my axe fx's. You heard the SoundCloud sample...

FAS Amp Block Issues

Yes, I did. I reset everything I can think of search for and find. System Param, Block Definitions and Re-installed firmware 2 times. I have tried it on another axe fx 2 XL (I have at work) with the same results. The source has been sending out new presets each day. Each one I download and try...

Just to update this... I imported the preset to another Axe Fx 2 XL unit and got the same results.

FAS Amp Block Issues

I turned off the drive because the Silent Underground preset does not have a drive. In your opinion... do you think these amp sims sound "off" from what you would expect?

FAS Amp Block Issues

By "similar" do you mean the FAS amp did not sound good? I tested it using the EVH preset, turned off the drive, changed the amp to the FAS Rhythm amp and it sounded bad. Is that what you hear?

FAS Amp Block Issues

I am on the most recent Firmware. Reloaded it to times. Did a Global reset too. Any other tests to conduct? This is definitely a weird problem.

FAS Amp Block Issues

Here is the EVH Preset. Scene 3 for Rhythm. If I change the FAS Rythm to a FAS Modern in the imported preset, it sounds even worse. I was able to import a Fremen preset, and change it's amp to a FAS Rhythm and it sounded a little better, but still bad.

FAS Amp Block Issues

There is a little distortion, but not much. If I manually change the amp type, save, and change it back to FAS Rythm and save... it still sounds the same. It almost sounds like there is a clean and semi-dirty tone together but biased to the cleaner tone. Global amp gain set to 0.0 dB. Could it...

FAS Amp Block Issues

I was wondering if anyone had issues with the FAS amps. I recently download this free preset from Silent Underground and my Axe Fx 2 XL sounds nothing like their example. He even posted a guitar only version of it on SoundCloud. It sounds awesome too. When I import this into my unit, it sounds...

Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.01 Released

I don't believe for one second Fractal's corporate DNA is "Like your tone, stop updating" nor do I think it is "rethink your patches from scratch". That's the point I am trying to get to. It's not a complaint about the latest firmware. It's more about getting Fractal to consider something...

Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.01 Released

I have two XLs and I upgraded one to firmware 18. Here is what I noticed... 1. Amp tone control (that was way cool) is missing... not sure what it was called but you could select Warm, Modern, Vintage, etc. 2. A preset using the 5153 Blue amp that had the "Warm" setting... now muffled with...

Delayed Load time of Scenes

I made the adjustments and re-tested. The 2nd function causes the delay. Buttons with a single function jump to the AxeFx Scene immediately. I will try some of Rodzimguitar68's ideas. Thanks for the help!

Delayed Load time of Scenes

I received a response from FAMC... "Only possible delay is if you have a 2nd function on a switch and the system is trying to determine if you are pressing function #1 or #2. If you only have 1 function, it's always instant- NO delay. If 2nd function, then of course there will be a 50ms delay...

Delayed Load time of Scenes

I am experiencing slight delayed times when switching scenes. I am not sure of this is the Axe Fx or my Liquid-Foot LF+ Mini foot controller. Has anyone else experienced this very slight delay with their controller?
