Firmware Version 10.03 Up

Like the update very much. Love it actually. There is just something very musical about this one. My strat just sings now - that is the best way I can explain it. Also found that I like a lot more amp sims out of Axe-FX collection, even the ones I couldn't stand before :shock: Good one...

Getting the feedback sustain sound with Axe Fx

If I turn up the volume on my studio monitors it will sustain for days. Doesn't have to be way too loud either. It will depend on a room, guitar and of course the settings you use. Nick.

My first axe video

Sounds pretty cool.. In my opinion it sounds too direct which can be fixed by playing around with Reverb block, choose medium Room setting then go to advanced tab and bring up the "early level" and bring down the "reverb level" somewhat .. See where you get that way ..That should give the...

9.02 Amp Model Poll

I absolutely love 9.02 ... The clean tones just kill when I play out with my Mesa 4x12. Gain tones are so clear and bright at the same time without any harshness. Love it Love it Love it. Mik.

First gig with new setup

I didn't have to change much at first .. Just dialed back some treble and it just worked ... But then a spent a few minutes initialiazed an amp block, tweaked tone stack a few times to get where I wanted it to sound and the sound was great right there, very raw and present. Some amp models...

First gig with new setup

My Ultra sounds amazing through my Mesa 4x12 (v30) powered by Carvin DCM600. After 9.02 rolled around cleans are just to die for. Mik.

Ultra Version 9.01 Firmware Available

Cliff - thank you very much on the new update .. I am really digging the improved feel and chime in the amp models. However I noticed a strange bit with v9.01 - gain knob on amps has this zipper-like clicking when adjusted in real time. It makes it unusable to control it with the expression...

New Axe user, questions about speakers/amps/etc.

I use a Carvin DCM600 with my mesa 4x12 for live shows with great results... So I would try your crown with your cab. Make sure you don't set the amp full out - you might burn the speakers but don't set it too low either. I found that it needs some power to come alive. I usually set my carvin...

More Euro model confusion

When I tweak things for some reason I seem to gravitate to similar sounds that sounds good to me even when using different gear. When comparing them later on thay are usually pretty close. Mik.

If you have ultra you could do the same thing with the looper which is a part of a delay block. Mik.
