Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 5 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #2

[Highcastle_of_Tone]

Our reference amp for the Silver Jubilee is actually not a Silver Jubilee. It's a Lerxst Omega that Alex Lifeson gave me.

We've all been there.

This Brit Silver (Lerxst Omega) sounds glorious...have to share this one.

I have to agree with this sentiment. As a 50% guitar player, 50% bass player, my bass playing half is only 30% happy.

80% happy is pretty good!...for a bass player - you'll just have to spend some time getting in touch with your better half

k - that's all the bass player jokes I will do today.

I think we may have our first hat recipient!

I guess I haven't been around here long enough to get the reference

Note 4.

I was very excited to see the Angle Severe models updated. I noticed they are much brighter and articulate but still brutal. One thing I did notice was that if you turn the presence the down to zero, the whole amp gets louder. Maybe it's the way an Engl behaves?

I may return the taper back to Log15 for the final release. Haven't decided yet.

Please don't go back to Log15 on all amps! It's freaking perfect now.

I noticed exactly the same thing, about 10 minutes ago ...

@FractalAudio Is the verified Princeton (non-reverb) the Silverface AA964 or the Tweed 5F2?

Ha! I'll wear that hat with pride for my fellow bass players

Updated that fixes one mistake and corrects for the Plexi entries.

I wasn't able to attach the Excel file, but can email it to anyone who wants.

 

[Joker]

SIZZLE!!! YES!!!! LOVE THE 100W PLEXI!!

For the bass players: I know times are tuff, but have you ever tried running your bass through a plexi or a bassman? Those old circuits are still delivering the goods!

ac30, plexi's, orange ad30, cameron ccv ....: all is fucking good juicy and dynamic!!
Thanks so much Cliff

The Master Volume control taper now matches the real amp. In all prior firmwares the MV taper was Log15 for every model regardless of what the real amp used. I will have to check those two models you are using to see if the taper is different from Log15.

I may return the taper back to Log15 for the final release. Haven't decided yet.

As long as we keep the headroom control, I'd be interested to keep the MV tapers authentic, though if I'm outvoted on that I don't mind too much.

The ca3+ is better now . In 15.01 it was a big muff

I am still confused about how to reset the amp block WITHOUT causing the bass-mids-treble and gain settings to reset to flat. When I choose a different amp and then go back to my original amp, or if I use the Tools menu to resets, the amp completely resets all settings. Is there any other way other than taking a screen shot of my original settings and re-doing them one by one?

Under setup/global settings/tone control display -> set to ideal and you can soft reset without losing gain/BMT settings.

THANK YOU!

I wasn’t aware that this setting even existed! Thanks!
