I'm a high gain guy but I am really loving that new bassguy amp at stock settings, its so squishy and sweet. I didn't see a new axe edit version, I'm assuming its in the works? Thank you Cliff and FAS!

@FractalAudio -- awesome! Excited about the new compressors!

Asking for the group as well as myself -- do we need a new version of the editor to use this firmware (if so, am sure that'sd coming soon) -or will existing editor work?

Well this is astounding. I just had a gig last night where I was very happy with my amp sound, but unhappy with sustain levels. Now I see the word “sustainer” and I’m very excited that there might just be a button I can push!

New Axe Edit typically doesn't get released until the final FW version drops. There have been exceptions when new models are added so that could mean a new version during the beta but not a certainty.

And the Axe-Fx III pulls back in the lead.

At what volume were you playing? Sustain is often a result of acoustic feedback from the speaker to the guitar. IEMs or low volume can directly affect that.

new models

or new/changed/deleted parameters or changes to a particular panel. Basically, a new version of Edit is not released unless it is necessary.

I am curious about this one too there was a recent thread about generating feedback , Mark Day had a preset that used comp to get a faux sustainer , Simon used a synth block
I am wondering if these “sustainers “ are able to be used to do that feedbacker sim ?

What a treat! Thank you Cliff et al

 

[NeoSound]

Since complex compression is a big part of the tube amp experience... does/will this affect the amp modeling also(eventually?)?

Even though it's already amazing.

Try the Gain Enhancer type of Output Compressor in the Amp block.
