Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 20.03 Release

[Gregmang]

I belive they need to get hold of an actual pedal to be able to do the modeling. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Cliff bought a Dumble a few years ago so I’m sure you probably bought a Klon.

the ODS HRM is ridiculous with the klone btw, like a mk2c+

I updated last night trying the klon, fantastic addition to an already incomparable unit! Thank you FAS

 

[Maxsound1977]

I don't usually post about FW updates, and I was on the last version of 19 before updating to this one, so not sure which of the "20" versions is responsible, but I noticed my go-to presets (slightly tweaked versions of factory ones) sound noticeably even more amazing!

same here!

There's an Easter Egg.

Ibanez Mostortion? I would love this one ...oh the Klon. Never got the hype about the Klon.......

 

[BBN]

I loaded 20.02 a couple days ago, haven't even had a chance to plug into it yet....and 20.03 is out with an Easter Egg!
The constant updates cure so much GAS for me. Thank you FAS!

The drives sound fantastic, I would say more "organic", but that might just be placebo.

 

[jephjacques]

I don't know shit about overdrives but that klon model sounds REALLY nice, to me,

 

[fab-gm]

The Klon sim sounds really warm and full to my ears, or might be that my ears are a bit tired or both!
In all cases, thanks!

 

[tysonlt]

I feel sheepish being a klon-skeptic (who'd never tried one - sour grapes) and now really digging it. Knocked the 3-knob tube driver off its perch.

Or you could buy this:

This one is ”only” $7800. Personally, a $50 Boss SD-1 and USA custom shop Jackson or ESP sounds like a better choice.

So RR won in the end?

No, Cliff has reached a point where he longer feels compelled to do or not do the Klone based on what that guy wants. Cliff is free from that guy and that is a win for Cliff! He made this for the people here who appreciate him and enjoy the things he makes. The other dude doesn’t matter.

 

[biskitboy]

oh snap we got a klon. Does it have modifiable goop?

As always, thanks for the glorious updates!

Didn't get the goop thing until I saw the link by @Deasnutz above.

I just noticed, while trying out the Klone Drive, that the "tone" section and the "graphic equalizer" section, in "post" mode, of the block has no effect on any frequency band. Has anyone else experienced this? I did find that the graphic EQ does work when switched to "Pre" mode, but not the Tone section.

yes, I can confirm I have the same issue. Someone else posted it earlier in this thread as well.

Bug? I found some problems with the new Klone drive, but it still sounds good.

I have the drive block set as a global block, and the Graphic EQ doesn't work when set to POST, but works when set to PRE. Likewise, the tone controls (Bass, Mid, High Mid, etc) don't work either.

Tested on the latest version editor and front panel. Also confirmed that a different drive type works fine.

 

[deathbyguitar]

What sort of changes are you guys noticing with the updated Drive block? Bass feels a bit tighter but I might be imagining that.

 

[FractalAudio]

yes, I can confirm I have the same issue. Someone else posted it earlier in this thread as well.

Those issues have been fixed for the next release.

 

[sacredgeometry]

Thank you Cliff. What an amazing treat for a Friday evening. All the better now I dont have to bother finding batteries for my Klone.

 

[sacredgeometry]

Is that inflation or insanity?

Hopefully that’s not your listing!

I guess they don’t know a recession is coming… Or is already here… Etc. etc.

Asking is one thing… Getten’ is another … lol

Neither, it's insanities ugly cousin, stupidity.

 

[sacredgeometry]

Remember, there can be only one preset, and it has to go input Klone Output. If you are a darling, you map the drive controls to the performance page

You would have to remove some of the knobs and paint it gold. The gold paint helps with the tone.
