Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.02 Public Beta #2 (Beta 3)

[CerealKiller]

The new gate works really well in my incredibly EMI-noisy apartment. Thanks so much!

 

[nojyeloot]

Oh man, only tested this with the drives & filter (used as a clean boost) so far and boy does this make for nice switching. This is huge. Thank you.

Aaand just tested Wah and boom, we now have the Devin "Bumpless" Wah lol. Sooo smooth. TY FAS xoxo

- OD 1 is cool

- Rectifiers are less boomy

Added “Oxbow Loadbox” and “Double Notes Loadbox” speaker impedance curves based on a Universal Audio Ox and Two Notes Torpedo, respectively.

Wow! Thank you! This is one of those times when reality seems stranger than fiction. I was JUST looking up differences in the sounds (based on the IC) between the Two Notes stuff and other load boxes (including the LB-2). After searching high and low and not really finding any solid info, I decided to come back to the Fractal Forum because I remember reading about it somewhere here a while ago. And immediately I see the new beta and it has this exact feature in there! Yet another way in which this company is making life easier and tone chasing that much more awesome!

Wow, Beta 3 is even better. The 1987X feels great and the Two Stone is amazing.

As 'm in HOLLAND : AC 50 is definitely effecting the tone, especially the latest itterations of the FW.

So guys from Holland if you haven't tried -> set the power frequency to 50 cicles (and try speaker compliance, for me 60% get's very nice ambience and feel of the tone with my IR.)

In a good or bad way? That sounds like a plus to me.

Turn your Global Power Amp Modeling on.

Already on… only this preset/model, so far, behaves strangely…

The double verb normal seems broken @FractalAudio

@deathbyguitar yes in a good way

There were no changes to that model. Try a reset.

this is super weird, scene 6/7/8 sound like broken tubes . ( even after a reset of the block )

It's the preamp in the Cab block. The virtual transformer is going into complete saturation. Turn the Drive down or use a different preamp type.

exact I choose the wrong one ... with the others there is no problem with the drive at 3, thank you !

Where is the guy who was talking about the Two Notes?

Come here brethren tell us how the Axe is responding with the new two notes impedance curve.

I think he was the OX but no worries looks like Cliff got him sorted too

Amazing crew..

> Added “OD-One Overdrive” Drive model based on a Boss OD-1.

The favorite drive pedal of my youth!*
* Surpassed later in life by the Pearl OD-5.

 

[InsideOut]

Changed bypass/engage speed for the following blocks: Drive, Filter, Graphic EQ, Parametric EQ, Tremolo and Wah. These blocks now bypass/engage with a gentle fade as rapid bypass/engage with these types of blocks can sound abrupt.

Loving this! Very elegant solution

 

[sebastos08]

Thanks a lot for all this stuff M. Cliff.
Just for my 0.001% report, the bosom boost drive default level is set to 10 instead to be on 5 like on all the other drives types.
thank's a lot again for all this new adds.
I'm going back to test the rest right away!

 

[FlavAnderson]

Thank you, once again Cliff, Amazing Stuff, loving the OD One as well!

They are also using an FM3 so they will be waiting a while. Still think wanting to model a load box is the wrong idea but …
