    Komet models

    +1 to this ! Also try putting KT66 tubes in that bad boy for some really dynamic and thick vintage blues and rock tones. I have KT66 in my real K60 and in my AXE III K60 preset - it just makes that amp sing to me.

    Studio monitor upgrade from A7X's to...

    Lots of good monitors to choose from. Dynaudio LYD48 is really good bang for the buck, but personally I'd look at ATC and get the best of those that you can afford (buy right - cry once) The ATC 20's and 25's are both killer, but if you can swing take a look at the ATC SCM50A Pro's. I'm on ATC...

    RIP Robbie Robertson

    A long time hero of mine, Robbie Robertson of the legendary The Band died wednesday at the age of 80 years after a long illness. The Bands farewell album and concert movie "The Last Waltz" have been essential to the way I listen to and think about music. Robbie's playing on the Last Waltz was...

    Again- what's Cliff doing now?

    There are 3 musical companies that I know of where this is true : Fractal Audio RJM Metric Halo. These 3 companies also differentiates themselves in another way, on top of the main man in each company is active with and approachable to the customer base - they are also IMHO the absolute best...

    Gamechanger Bigsby pedal - FA approaches?

    Totally Off Topic - But the guitar player looks like a young Rick Mayall. That combined with the look on the keyboard players face roughly 18 seconds in has me waiting for Ade Edmondson to enter the scene and trash everything.... Sorry I'll show myself out....

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta #5 (Beta 11)

    I was going to ask @FractalAudio whether a Hiwatt 4x12 cab with Fanes would be added, as they are very special and do not sound like any of the existing cabs. For all us Pink Floyd fans a Fane loaded Hiwatt cab would be a great addition.

    FW 22 revelations

    Makes a lot of sense as - IIRC - the '65 BassGuy model is based off Dweezil '65 Bassman head, that was (again IIRC) modded by Blankenship to sound more like a Plexi.

    CHARACTERS IN THE MINIDISPLAYS OF THE SCENES

    I don't have an FM9 yet - mostly due to the small and to me barely readable text in the mini displays on my FM3, original FC 3 and FC 6. I've been waiting for an updated FM9 with displays like on the FC mk II series, but I know that update might not come for a long time. Could anybody post a...

    Announcing FM9 Turbo

    I'm in this camp too !! I'm high on the list @G66, but might bail due to the small displays on the FM9, as I have a hard time reading the LED strips when standing on my FM3, FC6 mk I and FC12 mk I. The FC's and one of my FM3's are new in box for the same reason.

    It’s Friday the 7th - do you know where your ZenRigs are?

    Hey Brother Sukh - is there any magnification in the mini display covers ?? My eyes find it hard to see the text in the mini LED displays (I'd wish they'just release the FM9 Mk 2 already)

    The CNFB Method

    @FractalAudio, you had me at "Chase Nonlinear Feedback" :) Seriously impressive how you keep perfecting my favorite piece of gear. And agree with others, if a third amp block is on the table for the Axe III, I'd make use of it - but perhaps even more interesting, could this mean that a second...

    One Very Cool Pedal

    I have a Soldano X99 preamp with motorized knobs from when they were first released, toured it for years, still works as well as the first day I got it. So when done right (and I'm sure Chase Bliss did it right) mortised parts can last for decades even with heavy use.

    Mike uses a Vibe quite a lot, sounds like his Vibe tone to me Edit: Ian beat me to it re: Vibe

    Is it just me, or does adding a phaser effect to a lead distortion tone make your playing better?

    It's also delay for me, always makes me sound and play better. It's magic.
