Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


32.00

Improved power tube grid modeling in Amp block.

Improved frequency response accuracy for amp models.

Improved diffusion in Delay block. The dry signal is now diffused along with the delayed signal. This makes the effect more musical.

Increased pitch tracking range in Pitch block to ~2500 Hz. This allows tracking pinch harmonics better.

Improved pitch shifting for low frequencies, e.g. bass guitars.

Grouped types in Reverb block to aid in selection.

Increased range of Attack Time in Input block. Attack Time can now be set to a minimum of 0.1 ms. Existing presets are automatically updated.

Increased range of Attack Time in Gate block. Attack Time can now be set to a minimum of 0.1 ms. Existing presets are automatically updated.

Added Swedish Metal model to Drive block based on a Boss HM-2.

Added 1S2473 diode type to Drive block (to support Swedish Metal model).

Added “Transistor” Power Tube Type. This is now the default type for the Jazz 120 amp model and models a transistor output stage. Existing presets using this model are automatically updated.

Fixed wrong gain pot taper on all Double Verb, Vibrato Verb and Super Verb models. Taper was previously 20A, now “2-35”. Remastered models. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed an issue with PVH 6160, PVH 6160+ Lead and 5153 Red amp models. These models have been remastered accordingly. It is recommended to do a soft reset to load the new default values.

Fixed wrong resistor value in 5153 100W Green amp model. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed wrong resistor value in 5153 100W Stealth Blue model. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed wrong B+ voltage in Friedman BE/HBE models (due to wrong dropping resistor value). These models have been remastered accordingly. The default Negative Feedback has been changed to being commensurate with being taken from the 4-ohm tap. Note that the first-generation BE-100 had the feedback off the speaker jack. This was then changed to the 4-ohm tap. The latest version has a three-way switch to select between 4/8/16-ohm taps. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed wrong Master Volume taper in Solo 100 amp models. Remastered the models. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed wrong bass taper in Band-Commander amp model. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Fixed wrong master volume taper in Mr Z MZ-38 amp model. Audition presets and adjust as necessary.

Changed behavior of PI Bias Excursion control in Amp block. In addition to varying the amount of phase inverter bias excursion, the control now also inversely controls the amount of distortion generated by the phase inverter. This can be used to reduce (or increase) the amount of distortion generated by the phase inverter. Note that many classic amps (e.g. the Deluxe Reverb) generate significant phase inverter distortion. This distortion is typically fuzzy and quite asymmetric leading to significant amounts of intermodulation distortion.

Changed default values of Dual Tape type in Delay block to be a bit more musical.

Fixed preset updater not correctly setting Preamp Hardness if Amp block using EF86 tube type.

Various other fixes and improvements.

The improvement to the delay diffusion sounds interesting, looking forward to trying that out.

Also might as well make a block letter preset and get some chugs going!
 
Very excited about the PI addition. After I built my first plexi clone I decided to build a separate preamp to use with my VHT power amp. Imagine my surprise when my preamp output line level signal hit the input of the VHT and it sounded super lame. Took me a bit to figure out that slamming the PI can be magical.
 
Hmmm...I just checked in to see that status of the 31.04 beta and now we're on the 32.0 beta. I can't keep up! :tearsofjoy: Not complaining, these additions look great - were some of these changes part of 31.04?
 
Nice! What does ‘improved frequency response accuracy for amp models’ mean in terms of any change to sound/feel for the user?
 
The 5153 Stealth Red model appears to be shot. The gain taper is like immediately to full gain and the model as a whole has lost volume compared to before
