So tonight I'm playing thru my amp & cabs instead of headphones (no one home, Yea!), not FRFR, but Mesa 20/20 (EL84 stereo amp) and 2 Recto 4x12 cabs, and I leave PAM & Cab sim ON, and OMFG these presets together with the latest FW16.02 are just to die for!!
I mean, I know my rig isn't optimal, and when I first got my AF3, it was on FW14, and several factory presets just didn't do it for me (mostly the Fenders), and I couldn't even get a pleasing tone from the amps I know (Tri Axis, Recto, pretty much anything Mesa) without tweaking,... but NOW...
I started (again) at the beginning, and every.single.one sounds effin awesomeI. I'm not really a Fender or Class A type guy, but I found myself jamming to just the first few presets for a couple hours or so.
I don't know if these Bank A presets were all re-worked, or if it's just how they now work with this FW, but I'm just simply blown away by how good everything sounds!
Great job to everyone who had a hand in this!! Really amazed at how different the Axe Fx III now sounds and feels.
Oh, and another thing that I noticed is different from when I first got the AF3, and played through my rig..., many of the models (again, especially the Fenders) hardly sounded very different. Not true any more. I can easily hear how distinctly different the flavors are. Mind blown!
