    Axe FX II 17 digital clipping with preamp high and reverb high quality [NOT A BUG]

    Yeah, if the cpu use is too high and you use the preamp sims that is exactly what happens. you need to reduce your cpu load. that is why there are different qualities for the reverb and preamp. they use a lot of CPU at there highest qualities.

    Important thing to consider when using the preamp simulation in the cab block

    This will be obvious to most, but I thought I would bring it up. If you are using or have downloaded a patch with the preamp simulation on in the cab block, remember changing the signal level before the cab block will have an affect on the preamp simulation. It is level dependent. So you if...

    Cab Preamp

    It is a Mic preamp simulation. To record a cab in real life, you need a microphone. A microphone usually needs a mic preamp. One side effect of some mic preamps is they can add a pleasant form of distortion. This adds harmonic content to the signal which can make the signal stand out.

    NU presets?

    I'm sure they will, but they have a lot of other things going on that are taking their time. They are a small company and have quite a few things going on (that they've told us about - probably more than that) that I'm sure they want to prioritize.

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 17.00 Released

    High Quality shouldn't really drastically change the sound, it should stop any aliasing going on. You would most likely start to hear aliasing using highly distorted sounds or the preamp turned up really high.

    As you have noted, for unity gain in the 4 cable method you turn both volume knobs on the front of the axefx all the way up. You should not have to turn the level on the input/gate up. That is boosting the level from you guitar into the added grid (like using a booster in front of an amp)...

    Harmoniser

    The impedance on front and rear are the same.

    It won't matter. The impedance is the same (provided that it is not changed by the preset) and the signal level sent should still be very low so you are not likely to have to worry about clipping the input. As long as the input signals are set right, either way should be good.
