Which of your cab IRs have you liked with that AA964?
The 1969 Princeton I’m working on at the moment.

I must admit, I never really paid much attention to that model, but it really is wonderful. With my Duesenberg Semi-Hollow (Carl Carlton model) on the neck pickup, it is just sooooo alive. A Tone of Kings in front for shits and giggles works wonders too
Thanks! Yeah I'd be happy to, but I'm only using the Axe III for amps and cabs... I'm one of the weirdo's that runs a pedalboard into the Axe. I'll post the preset later today when I fire up the Axe, but the signal chain was:
A friend had a real '66 Princeton Reverb.I must admit, I never really paid much attention to that model, but it really is wonderful. With my Duesenberg Semi-Hollow (Carl Carlton model) on the neck pickup, it is just sooooo alive. A Tone of Kings in front for shits and giggles works wonders too
A real Princeton Reverb is a great amp, and takes some pedals really well. I have one out right now. This modeled version is great head-to-head.I must admit, I never really paid much attention to that model, but it really is wonderful.

Amen to that. He never got the success he deserved, but if I could grow up to be any guitar player from the Shrapnel years, I very well might pick him.
Ah ok. I see. Now amp and cab would already be a good base then to start from. So I need to find a booster inside and I need to put delay and reverb earlier in the chain before the amp block. I'm courious if I can nail it.
Yes, or Blues Saraceno, those where the two shrapnel guys I thought were great!
Thank you,I would start with checking the Master Volume (in addition to the overall volume) as there seems to be some changes/variations in the MV taper (log15 v.s. authentic). My way of getting the sound I want from the Axe Fx III is to always check the "Headroom" VU in the authentic page. For amps designed to rely on pre-amp distortion I try to have some headroom in the Power Amp and for amps designed to get the distortion from the Power Amp I let it go into saturation. And as always; there are no rules and I try to use my ears instead of my eyes (i.e. I sometimes find "my" sound when the distortion come from both pre- and power amps). I also find the "Headroom" VU very useful when dialling in a "clean to mean" preset. By adjusting the different volumes on the Axe Fx III the "mean" distorted sound can be based on pre-amp, power-amp or a combination.
This seems to (or should) be common knowledge for Fractal-users but I somehow get the impression that the importance of the MV as a tone shaping tool is forgotten.
I kindly request the Forum participants to stick to the topic of the threads. When reading a thread on the Cygnus Beta xx FW I want to find tips and useful information (including user feedback and possible bugs) regarding the FW and not waste my time on reading about languages, other gear and off-topic items. This has been requested many times so: LISTEN UP CHUCKLEHEADS
And finally; I am Norwegian so please accept my sincere apologies if my humble attempts in expressing myself using a foreign language hurts someones feelings......
