    Axe-FX III USB issue

    Mine gets upset every time i play with usb cables connected my PC. Unplug something or add something new, there's a chance the axe will start playing up. I go to device manager and delete the driver under the sound device entry and also the various axe fx 3 channel entries under the audio...

    Recording two Bass channels

    Is this why my bass tones have woody mids when recorded and but sound fine when both paths are summed in the middle? I had a look at the waveforms but i couldn't tell a difference by eye even zoomed in. I'd be very pleased if there was a simple answer to this

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    I had a bit of a win with adding a fuzz block in parallel with the distorted amp to add some more distortion to the tone. The fundamental is still overpowering over 8 or 9 fret on the low string. Also going to investigate a smaller string than 150 for the low g# to see if that will be functional.

    I checked out the crossover block so i understand what the high and low references mean now

    Do you mean that you bring the 2 paths back into one amp or keep the rows separate with separate amp blocks? Also not sure what you mean by the low side?

    Sorry, didn't click that you'd already posted. Will check out what you've described there. Using the last non-beta firmware

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Are you using fractal for distortion? Do you find you get a lot of fundamental and the distortion doesn't seem to be as prominent or as even as the other strings? I've been wanting to find other people using similar gear and tunings to compare to as i reckon there's a lot of difference between...

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Thanks all for your perspectives. I feel like the problem for me is the size of the string causing that difference in character and lack of "something" for the distortion to hang onto. That said, the instrument sounds fine through a bass head and a b7k. I remember hearing that the axe fx 3 main...

    I watched something last night that mentioned compressing in front and at the end of the chain too. Gonna try that when i get a chance

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Thanks for the replies chaps. Yeh the virtual capo is something i've yet to investigate fully. I remember the instrument sounded great with .130 or whatever came stock. I'd be keen to know what processing you do on your DI besides the compressor. Eq etc?

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    I was just mucking around with it again. Does anyone eq their DIs? I feel like i'm cutting a bit out of it trying to get rid of pick attack thunk-type sounds but it's getting more tolerable. I also played with all the different compressors trying to get something to maintain the distortion...

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Anyone got any insight about how to add distortion without it being excessively sharp and obnoxious? Low cut frequencies on distortion channel etc

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Yeh i've wondered about this. I don't know enough about speaker frequency response relative to the notes i'm trying to reproduce etc

    Axe fx 3 bass tones?

    Hey all, what is everyone doing for their bass tones? I've a Dingwall NG2 tuned to drop G# with a 150 on the low string. I use a 2 line patch with a compressor before the split and then one DI going straight through with no processing and a parallel row with a high gain guitar amp and usually...

    Axe fx for downtuned bass G#

    Yeh i won't deal with circle k/kalium anymore. Their website was shagged and provided shipping quotes of $1100aus to ship anything over 20 items to australia. I sent him a ridiculous amount of emails and rang him a bunch of times trying to find a solution to keep purchasing from him. Got a few...
