Wow, that's not an easy one on Google. Fortunately someone answered it already; otherwise I would be clueless.Trivia time: anybody know the first top 40 hit containing a guitar solo played through a Rockman?
It is just me or with every passing firmware it gets more difficult to make the Axe sounds bad??? Fractal never ceases to amaze me...
Ditto. I'm still stuck on 2.02. and I'm finally playing instead of tweaking. The only reason to upgrade would be the Friedman but it might even wait for some of the next FWs.
Personally I don't experience this. It depends greatly on the ir's you use , and what monitors you used, as well as the room you're in. An untreated room can multiply bass by a large amount. Some ir's are bass heavy, there are multiple ways to lower the bass just about anywhere in the chain you desire! I would start with the room , the audition ir's, then tune the low with EQ. Different venues will sound completely different. I use global EQ to correct this if needed.Too much bass now in general on the whole unit ?

I found the "Default Modeling Version" in Global easy enough but where is "Modeling Version" in the Amp block ? I admit I use Axe Edit exclusively but I've updated that to the latest as well and don't see it there. Is it only accessible via front panel ?
I don't know about the whole unit, but I'm hearing the same thing on certain models. I have a real Friedman Smallbox and to me the model has something weird going on in the lower frequencies.Too much bass now in general on the whole unit ?
if you're running into a real cab you may need to tweak the speaker resonanceI don't know about the whole unit, but I'm hearing the same thing on certain models. I have a real Friedman Smallbox and to me the model has something weird going on in the lower frequencies.
I'm running my AX8 into a flat SS power amp with cab modeling off and power amp modeling on into the same Friedman cab as the Smallbox. With tone, gain and master set to similar values as the real amp the low end of the model is boomy in a weird way that becomes very noticeable as you increase volume. I can compensate somewhat by reducing depth or negative feedback. Reducing bass doesn't help much.
Same thing with the Dirty Shirley model and the real thing, though maybe not as bad. Other models that I use don't have this problem (plexis, Camerons, Fenders), not that I have the real thing to compare those to. Since I'm on an AX8 and sold my AxeFX II last year I don't know if this is something new or not.
Arrgg ! I was gonna say that, but I thought it would have to be a Boston song!Ah, yes, he answered it, but not correctly. The answer is "Maniac" by Michael Sembello, from the movie "Flashdance." I was working in a studio in Los Angeles when Flashdance came out, and I remember the buzz about it.

Yes, I've seen that post and have tried lowering negative feedback as I stated in my OP. Still sounds boomy and muddy compared to the real thing. I'll tinker with speaker resonance a bit and see if that helps.Found it:

If you want more clarity in the low-mids from the BE/HBE …, reduce the Negative Feedback ….
Friedman’s designs are a bit odd in that he takes the feedback off the speaker jack rather than off a transformer tap. The mating cab for a BE/HBE is 16 ohms, which means lots of feedback. But if you connect the amp to an 8 ohm load, there is about 30% less feedback. The amp will sound tighter and clearer in the low-mids.
