Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta #4 (Beta 10)

“Trans” would be a better name; shorter and more succinct and doesn’t confuse with the musical definition. I can’t see any argument against this nomenclature.

Tuner Poll

A thought - simplify all this with a note display option on the tuner allowing the user to: Display enharmonic equivalents as A) sharp B) flat This options would get you out of guessing what key or tuning the use is targeting and avoid the potential added confusion of displaying relative tuner...

Flange from Within Your Reach by The Replacements

I've been toying around with trying to approximate the flange from this song - link to a recording for those who are interested: I've seen a thread or two on flange effects and realize that what I don't know about how to work with flange could fill at least a wiki post or two. Is there...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

I know it's meant for a tele - but sounds great with a LP on rhythm pickup as well. So inspiring that I've written a lick so catchy it will return the guitar to pop music primacy.

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

Bought the pack yesterday and want to reiterate how good and helpful this is to bringing the whole axe fx unit into focus. This helps make sense of the tremendous number of tools in the tool box. You've built useable and high quality modules out of a dizzying array of discrete parts that are...

Setting Delays on the Axe-Fx III?

Setting the delay characteristics via subdividing a beat vs. setting a specific millisecond delay time are mutually exclusive concepts. Try this to get over the hump: Enter the beats per minute (BPM) of the song you're playing as the tempo for the song THEN set the subdivision. This will...

Can't get a good sound

Is this is something that can auto set to 5.00 when power amp modeling is turned off to lessen the knowledge burden on the user. I bet it could go back to its original value when power amp modeling is turned back on as well.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 7.02 Public Beta

I don't join the congratulatory/thank-you circle J after firmware releases. I monitor the forum to make sure I'm aware of everything going on but I don't post. The last FW update (7.01) and the motor drive beta (7.02b) are different; Different enough that I'm joining the group grope. These...

SRV little wing

Starting patch for strats looking for something like SRV's tone on little wing. Playing with Larry Mitchell's patches and found that in combination they approached an SRV tone. Was not actively looking for this sounds but thought I'd throw together a recording of the patch with as much of...

User cabs not working after upgrading to 2.04

Sure there's some user error going on here however after upgrading to 2.04 my user cabs are no longer working/producing any sound. As a specific example - I had installed the preset 'ML Brit 1959' from cab pack 15 and saved the cab to user block #29. This preset had worked previously and now...
