    Crate CR 110 Amp with Axe FX

    Dargor, yes you can use the crate amp. When I visit family, i run in through the front of a cheap solid state fender. Some presets sound really great, others sound awful. Its hit or miss. Clean tones will likely sound much better than distorted ones. You can always get the crate if the shipping...

    White Lion's Hungry Intro and Rhythm 5153 FW19

    Great job. Great tone! I just had to learn that song. Mark's preset sounds great with my 57' vintage hot rod strat w/ a tone zone in the bridge....i think this is the closest I'll ever get to the Bratta tone. The 5153 is great, but I swapped it with a CAMERON Ccv 2B and lowered the gain a tiny...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 19.00 Public Beta

    19 substantially changes the overall sound. I will have to play around for awhile...most of my presets sound flubby on the bottom end. A little tweaking and I'll get stuff sounding good again. Thanks Cliff for the overall improvements.

    Gritty Sounding Clean Tones

    The axe fx is full of great clean tones - sounds like some of your parameters are not adjusted right. My faves are shiva, usa clean, custom audio, jazz120, dr z, and tons of fender amps.

    Your favorite Amp/Cabs?

    I like the CA3/Jazz/Mr.Z for cleans and 5150/Cameron/ODS for drive. As far as crunch, too many to list, lol.

    question for all you tone wizards

    I do all the above and use my ears as the ultimate guide. For me it starts by doing some research with amps, cabs, and effects so I can get in the ballpark. Sometimes the real amps used in the studio aren't the ones that sound the best, but often they are so I use my ears and make adjustments...

    My little black magic box died :(

    Hofi, that's sad news. Best of luck and hopefully its up and running soon. Feels like a funeral to me...i can't stand even the thought of not having my axe fx.

    New Fractal 4x12 IRs are rad. How is the real cab?

    How about getting the new cab packs and pair them with the new Friedman FRFR cabinet when it comes out. See 10min into this namm video. NAMM '15 - Friedman Jerry Cantrell Signature Amp, Phil X Signature Amp, & Custom Guitar Demos | 2015-02-12 | Premier Guitar

    Axe FX II Will Not Boot

    Take it for what its worth, but this happened to me when I updated to 18.03. I didn't have any problems with the beta. I read through some threads and others stated their may be corrupt data or a corrupt preset. I went back to 17. Then downloaded 18.03 again. I also cleared all the banks and...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.01 Released

    Cliff - What the hell did you do to that Cameron in the new firmware. That amp is a monster, especially through those Fractal V30 cabs. Tone Heaven!!!! I can't thank you enough.

    Lest we forget...

    Dollar for dollar, this axe fx product is by far the best money I have ever spent. I find joy every day spending time tinkering with it. I haven't played this much guitar since high school. Yes, we all take a bow to Cliff and the fractal team for giving us mortals a chance to get a taste of amps...

    V18.01 possibe bug - modifiers very slooooowww at only 89% CPU?

    I can attest to similar CPU "issues" or changes with new firmware. Everything comes with a cost. I have a few presets that I had to tweak things. I don't see it as a bug....more of reality when working with computers. Hardware is developed - it is static. Firmware is fluid.....improvements are...
