How does Cliff (or employees of Fractal) monitor this beast?

Thanks for the useful comments. The funny comments are funny, don't add any value to the forum. Surely the peeps at fractal test these on more than one set of studio speakers.

How does Cliff (or employees of Fractal) monitor this beast?

I was just curious if anyone would explain the process of how Fractal listens to it's product. I have heard Cliff uses JBL PRX612s but I cannot confirm that. I am sure it's a more detailed process than that.

Cab Bank Number - Axe Edit vs Fractal Bot - Need Consistency

I have 2 axe fx xls, 1 is for a backup. In order to keep these matching each other I use Fractal Bot to export cabs and presets. This can be a time-consuming process. This process has lead me to an issue... When looking at Cabs in Axe Edit, the numbers count up and then start over once you get...

FAS Amp Block Issues

Daniel thanks for your help bro. I will go screen by screen. I actually started doing this on today's Friedman BE preset and it was sounding better already but I am not through the all the screens. It's just weird that the import is not even close on my axe fx's. You heard the SoundCloud sample...

FAS Amp Block Issues

Yes, I did. I reset everything I can think of search for and find. System Param, Block Definitions and Re-installed firmware 2 times. I have tried it on another axe fx 2 XL (I have at work) with the same results. The source has been sending out new presets each day. Each one I download and try...

FAS Amp Block Issues

I turned off the drive because the Silent Underground preset does not have a drive. In your opinion... do you think these amp sims sound "off" from what you would expect?

FAS Amp Block Issues

By "similar" do you mean the FAS amp did not sound good? I tested it using the EVH preset, turned off the drive, changed the amp to the FAS Rhythm amp and it sounded bad. Is that what you hear?

FAS Amp Block Issues

I am on the most recent Firmware. Reloaded it to times. Did a Global reset too. Any other tests to conduct? This is definitely a weird problem.

FAS Amp Block Issues

Here is the EVH Preset. Scene 3 for Rhythm. If I change the FAS Rythm to a FAS Modern in the imported preset, it sounds even worse. I was able to import a Fremen preset, and change it's amp to a FAS Rhythm and it sounded a little better, but still bad.
