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.

you changed also mark iv isn it? :) now it works
 
The fastets (and best) company ever on earth.

I'm overwhelmed.

Thank you for all your never-resting efforts.
 
@FractalAudio , thank you for the continued improvements and updates! Did anything change with the HiPower (HiWatt) models? My Axe FX III Mk I (OG) Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell preset doesn't sound like it used to after this update. The volume is a bit lower and there is a fizz/sizzle on the notes and chords that was not there with the same settings in FW 31.04. I have attached the preset, can anyone let me know if they see anything wrong with this? Note, the attached preset was saved using FW 31.04.

FWIW I hear that too - and it seems to be on the factory Hipower preset as well?

Yeah, something got broke in the Hipower Jumped model. Should have a fix before the end of the day.
