Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

Big thanks for the continued effort and support on the II Cliff- I knew better than to believe the last FW would be the "last"..

Crackle with 'MR Z MZ-38 ' amp Preset

I noticed something similar on my Axe FX II MkI recently, but I haven't had time to go through the process of elimination. @bossredman, keep us updated on your progress. I'm hoping to get some time to trouble shoot mine this weekend.

Here's a clip of Michael Thompson comparing various compressor pedals (including the Analogman Orange Squeezer).. just for reference.

Using a Fuzz in front of the Axe-Fx for cleans

Agreed with everything you stated. GE-based fuzzes are definitely way over-priced these days. Nothing gives you that glassy clean response when slightly turned down thing that a good GE fuzz does though. I have a small board usually setup with a few fuzz pedals, including a treble booster of...

Axe-Fx versus UA OX cab sims

Just stumbled across this thread/post and didn't know about the Suhr ISO line out device. Thanks for mentioning that James. I tend to use my old tube amps more so lately, but I'd like to be able to incorporate my Axe II with them at times. I use to have H&K redbox, but you couldn't turn off the...

Vintage Marshall Plexi?

What presets from Larry are you guys referencing? I looked up his website, but didn't see anything. I still use a couple of Larry's IR's from a few years back, so I was curious about what else he may have shared over time.

Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

Quick reply to say thank you to Cliff for adding some ares to the II.. Mine is a MK 1 I bought new when they just released the II, I think from the first batch of 50 or so to go out the door. I think I've installed literally every single FW release/iteration along the way. I appreciate a company...

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 10.01 Firmware Release

Thanks for continuing to update the Axe II FAS.. I'm grateful. I'm just getting back to playing after a finger injury last November, so no comparisons to the previous FW from me. Things have been pretty good for a while now. Love the new Friedman amp models, although I still use the vintage...

Presenting... The Axe-Fx III

Wow- congrats FAS. This looks epic on many levels. I admit I was wondering when this might happen with all the sales, etc. that had recently been going on. Looks like a ton of work and development went into this, based on what specs I see (and actually understand), etc. Hats off to Cliff and...

Vibrato effect

I'll try this yek- thanks. I still use my Boss VB-2 for this affect, in front of the Axe or amps, when needed. Love that pedal.

Gain with Plexi style amps

This is what I do, along with adjusting the bright cap to what I need. I find the plexi/vintage Marshalls modeled tend to have more gain than I'm used to as well, but the Axe allows you to adjust for this no problem.
