    Sound Control on USB Playback

    Axe Fx III vs. vintage 80s Rack

    Thanks. Each of the older units had their own voice. The delays in the 2290 were so lush. The reverb of the Lexicon, the effects in the Eventide. All served a purpose. The Serial Delays of the Eventide are awesome. The axe covers all of those areas extremely well. Not exactly the same but...

    Using Full Res IR's

    I got the same noise when I added 2 cab block and used FR in both L/R. I noticed the CPU at 80% If I disengaged the FR on the second block it was fine. (I have a Turbo) I took it as a limitation that you cannot use 2 cab blocks running stereo FR cabs

    So you blend them with a regular IR hence the reason some suggest -12db?
  23. DaveP

    Using Full Res IR's

    I'm sure this was answered but rather than read through 50 pages to find it..... How do you use the FR IR's? Do you use them with a regular cab and use the FR in slots 3/4 L/R to create ambience? On their own they don't sound good unless mixed with a regular IR. Am I missing something?

    It's the levels in the stereo image. i.e. Ares preset sounded full and had a good stereo image. Upgrading to 16b and release changed the balance. The new preset in 16 corrected it and 16.01 changed the balance and level of the stereo image again. In your example, the whole image shift to the...

    There is a noticeable difference in the Dual USA RTM patch (and others) from 16.0 to 16.1. Seems one side has a lower lever and needs balancing. And the tone changed. (Just one example from a preset I use a lot)

    I love the axe through headphones. I use 600 ohm AKG K240 i've had forever. I have had more expensive phones but they never sounded as good as these. Guess it really depends on the phones. More expensive isn't always better.

    The REAL Mesa Boogie Mark IIC++

    I used to own 1 of the 12 original C++'s. This describes the differences in my opinion.

    Drive Blocks

    My setup is the 4CM into a Two Rock using clean channel. I found with drive pedals it is also the case. The level has to be significantly reduced to match the bypass volume. I do use my ears to adjust, that's common sense. but the defaults at 5 are extremely hot. So auditioning patches the...

    The footswitch doesn't have FX on/off. MIDI allows this functionality as well as toggling Shred on/off along with some other combinations.

    Buy that new guitar or the AX8?

    PRS do not hold their value. If you plan to buy and flip it to buy the AX8 (when available) be prepared to wait a while before it's sold. Resale on a PRS is the worst unless you're willing to give it away.

    What's with the fan noise?

    Yeah, I took the lid off and checked it out. It's all racked up at the moment but it's mounted like the old fan just a bigger fan. I don't recall the rubber grommets like the 60mm had but maybe I just didn't notice.
  79. DaveP

    What's with the fan noise?

    I just received a new unit about 2 weeks ago and noticed the change. Not sure when the exact date this was implemented.
  80. DaveP

    What's with the fan noise?

    All the new units ship with an 80mm fan. The original fan is 60mm. This has quieted the fan noise down considerably. So they do listen.
  81. DaveP

    Do the 6.0 factory presets sound bad to anyone else?

    It depends on your system. If you have something that's close to the original setup Fractal used to tweak them then they sound fine. It's like downloading another users preset. They very rarely sound great without adjusting them to your system.
