these pickups are really hot in this guitar , even more than active ones or whatever , stock crunchlab and liquifire .Great tones , Fat as hell
That’s barely a gap honestly. It’s there in that clip, but it changes instantly. It’s just not cross fading.do you hear the gap at 1:43 between 2 scenes in my latest video ? I got this in all my presets since day one I have the 3 .... I m living with it ... is it a story about the RAM in the axe that is not enough powerful or ? well this is off topic , but I was thinking about it while cuting the video , the gap is really present grrrr .
yeah not sure what other modelers are doing to be "gapless." were you changing presets or scenes in that moment in the video?Yes in roadster and roadking (that I owned for years ) there is a big “plock” the first time you change channels and then it disappear ... they say it’s a foot switch problem hm. In the JP2c it’s more light . I owned a helix for one year and it was gapless . Same I owned 2 kempers and they were gapless too. Maybe the files are smaller . Don’t know . I use the fc12 . But yes they are a lot of parameters to change but it happens even with very simple scenes . I don’t miss my previous modelers at all even with this detail . The axe sounds better and is a lot more fun . But can’t we compare it to the RAM in a computer ? If the axe was 4 times more powerful I mean, then it’s gapless ?

Well said.This this this!
I remember hating fender amps for that reason early on in my playing - they were biased so cold they sounded so sterile and harsh!
Later on I learned to tweak and adjust bias and quickly realized that those same amps I hated came to life with sweet sweet tones!
There are so many inconsistencies with amps, and so many corners usually cut to make an amp cost 2000 instead of 12,000. The axe has none of these restraints, and we can have better sounding and playing amps than even our heroes did with the SAME real amps! Why would we not want this is beyond me.....I get the 'authentic' thing, but some of these things worked terribly, and were badly designed, and had so many areas cut to keep cost down and marketability high.....
I remember a band I was in where we bought 3 of the same amp, cuz it was a killer amp and we could dial 3 completely different tones on it.
It boggled our minds why when we set everything exactly the same, the 3 amps sounded very different!
Amps are going to sound different, even identical amps will sound different. Hell, the SAME amp sounds different depending on the time of day and humidity and temperature and all that!
Give me the idealized, best example of the amp in the best tweaked way it can sound. Authentic is great, but idealized is better. This is 2021, not 1960. We are driving fast, efficient, versatile, feature rich, electric luxury vehicles nowadays, if you want completely authentic go back to a bumpy horse drawn cart and tell me how much you prefer that, all because it's authentic...
Don’t know, a process that is so fast that you cannot even hear it . Me I feel it everytime I change to rythm to solos.. so every 2 minutes .Why would more RAM make switching gapless? I don't see it as a RAM problem - as has already been explained, it's that multiple blocks, including amp, cab, and everything else in the preset, are all being shut off, new blocks being loaded, etc AT THE SAME TIME. That HAS to take a finite amount of time, even if it's only a millisecond or two. Personally, I never even notice it.
I was changing scenes, scene 2 to scene 3 .yeah not sure what other modelers are doing to be "gapless." were you changing presets or scenes in that moment in the video?
i'm not sure presets can ever be gapless - that's just every single block changing at once. without a short audio gap/mute, there would be the loud pops that we had on the roadster. so i'm not sure what can be done for that much data changing instantly.
i'm pretty sure FAS wants to improve this always. the constant work to make the unit better and more efficient always directly affects preset and scene changing times, so i would say it's constantly being worked on.
3.02 in the FM3 for example didn't even mention faster Amp Channel changes, but it sure is faster, a result of the work on all the other stuff i think.
It gets even tighter with a tube screamer or the horizon precision drive... or you can use a boost in the preamp, or input eq to remove more lows.Today I decided to give the 5150 a try. Never really used it, but holy balls that's TIGHT. Nothing flabby in the lower registers. That normal?
I always avoided it, because it's a bit lethal with the gain and all.

I thought there was some international law that forbids not doing this hahIt gets even tighter with a tube screamer or the horizon precision drive... or you can use a boost in the preamp, or input eq to remove more lows.
There's a lot to be said for simple. We've already got so much more depth for editing in every block than other modelers.Let's make things more simple, not more difficult.
Did you have the AXE3 connected to Axe Edit? If so that could add some switching latency. Try disconnecting to see if that improves switch time. It has been fast for me.I was changing scenes, scene 2 to scene 3 .
Same amp, A to C copy (channels) with a little eq difference. Same cab. Just reverb and delay nothing else. But nothing new about this. I know people will get nervous if I continue to speak about it. so we will see what we will have in the future and that’s all hm.
Try using two amp blocks in parallel and use a multiplexer block to switch them. I'm doing that with delay and chorus/flange blocks and it works great.I was changing scenes, scene 2 to scene 3 .

3. This firmware is more aggressive in the very high frequencies than the previous beta. There was a mistake in the power amp algorithm that reduced the drive into the virtual power tube grids by about 30% typically. So the grids weren't clipping as soon as they should resulting in reduced high frequency overtones. This typically will only be noticeable on non-MV amps. On non-MV amps you should hear a bit extra "sizzle" in the top end.
If it's saved as part of the preset data, it would come up in the intended state when you load the preset, so there would be no issues with sharing presets....As Yek said i think that would be even worse because from one preset to the next you could / would get a huge volume jump
especially with presets set
for single coils or 3rd party vendor presets
You sure you want 'KNOB'?Can I change my name to “my name is KNOB” ?
