Why is Ares darker sounding than Q10.01?

[bloodninja]

I thought it was me doing something wrong converting presets or a global setting that I didn't remember changing, but Austin Buddy said the same thing.

Edit: I'm not asking the technical reason for the differences, just wondering if there's something I can easily adjust so my presets will sound the same as they did on the Ax8.

because it's different. Fw's change the tone sometimes, it's part of it.

Why is Quantum brighter ?

 

[REDD]

why ask why?!?! Haha! Just turn up some treble or presence.

I actually am experiencing the opposite? The Axe-Fx III seems brighter than the Axe-Fx II/AX8, using the exact preset, built from scratch.

Maybe it's Amp model specific? Which Amp model(s) are you comparing?

As a mater of fact, The Axe-Fx II (sometimes) seems slightly brighter than the AX8.

The Axe-Fx III has slightly more high end extension than the previous products. It's more accurate.

It's more accurate.

I have found this statement to be accurate.

I was comparing the 5153 red channel. I'll record clips tomorrow or Monday.

What a bunch of lazily cynical mofos.

The OP asks a fair question regarding a just shy of $3k tool and a bunch of shameless parrots try to embarrass him for it.
I certainly expect better. It’s simply vulgar and beyond tolerable.
At least the head honcho at FAS took the fair question seriously.

Wow... maybe you're painting with broad brush strokes, but if you think Moke is a parrot...

Cool.. Maybe something is off from the conversion? Or it's just that model? Make sure that the presets are otherwise identical. There are some parameters that exist in one unit, but not the other... And vise versa..

Glad to hear that my old ears aren't completely shot yet..

Don't know why you'd lump him in there then.
