Funny you should mention the Univibe... I was trying different block locations in the chain to achieve the most dramatic effect and have been struggling . Thought it was just me. Really would like to get this working right.. hopefully someone with greater knowledge than me can shed some lightThe effects sound very good to me. Only the univibe seems to have changed a little for the worse, but everything else I have tried sounds better. It may be from having all the extra CPU. Reverbs, delays, pitch block all seem better. I noticed it right away. You'll love channels also.
Sounds like good stuff! Is the electric mistress clone a single block? I would love to get my hands on that.In my personal opinion, the Flanger on the Axe-Fx III is the best and most flexible flanger you will find. This is especially true when you imagine a preset with other blocks combined (and also allowing for the use of the resonator, an ultra-short time flanger of sorts.)
I love Earthquaker pedals. Those guys and Pigtronix truly grok my inner FX guru/junkie, but in my quick listen I don't hear anything there that I haven't done or can't do. In fact, because of its semi-modular architecture and modifier system, the Fractal flanger has some very unique and special tricks up its sleeve. For example, I was recently asked by an artist to dial in a melodic scalar flanger sequence. The results are pretty great. I'll see about migrating it to the Axe-Fx III. I've also recently done a sitar-like tracking resonance flanger, an ADSR touch flanger (http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=6248) and a new one-block version of Dweezil's Dynaflanger. @austinbuddy may want to share with you a clone I made for him of his Electric Mistress. It was dead nuts to my ear. I've also cloned the very unique flanger in the Korg A3, the legendary Loft, and my favorite old purple Boss pedal.
I make and break "demo clip" promises too frequently, but I'll see about putting something together for you.
Love univibe sound. Have A/B’d my Uni-Vibe block to a the new cool Shin Ei ones and they are virtually identical.Check out Austinbuddys Johnny London patch. The Univibe scene is really great. I never really tried to get a good Univibe in the 2 so can't comment on the comparison but whatever Austin did is working very well.

There's an excellent benchmark for how effects have evolved in Fractal gear over time!a new one-block version of Dweezil's Dynaflanger
The one block I have the biggest trouble with dialing in in my AXE-FX II (and AX8) is the flanger. Is it much different in the III?

I have an original ADA Flanger that I always loved, and when I first got an Axe FXII years ago one of the first things I did was try and dial in the flanger to duplicate the ADA Flanger. I went back and forth with an A/B box and dialed it in. It took a while because I was new to the Axe FX, but I was able to get very very close. I tried out the factory settings of the different Flangers in the Axe FXIII and they sounded very good to me.

There’s a Level parameter in the Flanger block.To me the flanger block on the III has a lot of great qualities and flexibility, my only wish is that the signal strength could be made stronger.
I also have an original ADA flanger and I think it's the best flanger I've heard. I tried in the axe fx 2 to dial in something similar and wasn't very successful. I know it can probably be done but dialing in the flanger was very difficult.

?making it louder is not going to compensate for the effect "signal" strength in the mix.
