NOTE: This firmware requires installation of Dyna-Cabs version 1.09 if upgrading from firmware prior to 30.00. Refer to the Dyna-Cab Installation Guide for details. Be sure to install the firmware before installing the Dyna-Cabs. The file is here:

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


31.00

Improved preamp modeling in Amp block. This yields more accurate harmonic response and better feel. NOTE: The Preamp Tube Hardness parameter functions differently now. Existing presets are automatically updated to the default value for the amp model.

Improved power amp modeling in Amp. This yields a more controlled low end, especially for non-MV amps.

Added “Surround Delay” type to Delay block. This type produces “rotating” echoes that appear to move around the listener. The Rotation parameter determines how rapidly the echoes rotates. With Rotation at 100% the echoes will rotate 180 degrees each time (front, back, front, etc). At 50% the echoes will rotate 90 degrees (front, right, back, left, front, etc.). Negative values will cause the echoes to rotate in the opposite direction.

Added “Auto Delay” switch to Cabinet block. When ON the IR is delayed by the appropriate amount based on the Distance parameter (time alignment is turned off). The user can add additional delay using the Align tab. Note that the actual delay can be less than the displayed delay as all IR delays are normalized to the shortest delay (so as to minimize overall latency). The Align tab has been changed to display the delay in ms rather than distance to reduce confusion with the Distance parameter.

Various other fixes and improvements.
 
Dang Cliff, I know you have a bit of insomnia but do you really ever sleep lol :P Just keep giving and giving :D Thanks for this when it trickles down eventually!

You'd be surprised at how much humans can accomplish if they actually work instead of talk (or look at their phones).

I idolize guys like Tesla, Edison, da Vinci, et. al. These guys accomplished so much in their lives. I look around at today's humans and it's just "blah, blah, blah". Talk is cheap.
 
Thank you Mr. C for your relentless passion, and dedication to your product and your business.
:)

Fun fact on my mothers side (my grandmother) I'm related to a co-worker for Edison - guess that's why I'm an engineer 😁

This new beta is definitely better than anything before it - amps seems to have an attitude I like - thanks so much

Where would I find the "auto delay" switch in the cab block? I can't find it in axedit or in the unit itself. TIA

I've wished for this since DynaCabs were introduced. Thank you for this. The phase interaction between mics of varying distances is my favorite aspect using multiple mics. I cannot wait to try this.
