    I need help matching reverb (from an IR)

    I use spectrograms. You can don't this in the time domain. And you can't do it purely in the frequency domain. You need both time and frequency localization so spectrograms are what I use.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    Yup. Real-time pitch shifting is full of tradeoffs. I you want low latency you get tremolo artifacts. If you don't want the tremolo artifacts you get high latency and weird artifacts on complex intervals.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    He has Pitch Tracking set to "Fast" which is intended for single note leads. Set Pitch Tracking to "Smooth" when playing chords. In my tests our pitch shifting is superior to every other hardware modeler I've tested.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    They do but they don't exhibit any nonlinear behavior. Therefore the model doesn't use a cathode follower. Models only use a cathode follower when they exhibit nonlinearity. The 5153 is specifically designed so that the cathode follower doesn't do what a cathode follower usually does.
  12. FractalAudio

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    That model doesn't use a cathode follower and there were no changes to the model itself. Ergo, the model is unchanged and should not sound any different.
  13. FractalAudio

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    This isn't a cathode follower in the classic sense. It's being used as a voltage regulator to supply a low impedance DC bias voltage to the PI. It's not in the signal path.

    Tone stack in ODS models

    The default tone stack for this model is a Skyliner with location set to "Mid". This matches the reference amp. The frequency is arbitrary, it's just a reference value and if you don't change it the tone stack is accurate. Regardless, the notch frequency is approx. 422 Hz so the value of 400...

    Why is it necessary to apply high/lo pass filters to cabs?

    It is not required or necessary. However, high/low pass filters are typically applied to close mic'd guitar tracks during mixing to help the guitar "sit in the mix". You should do some reading on close micing vs. "in the room". This topic has been beaten to death since the early days of modelers.
  75. FractalAudio

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Release

    Either way. If you use Input Gain the tails will stay the same volume if you rock the pedal down. If you use Mix you'll kill the tails if you rock the pedal down.
