    Fractal Audio DynaCab Packs Now Available

    This looks super cool. I'm curious about a couple things: Right now it appears the way this works is you use Cab Lab to mix your DynaCab IR, and then it gets loaded as a regular IR slot in the Axe / FM3? Is that correct?

I would love to tinker at the schematic level to build amps that don't exist and use the AxeFX to learn more about how the circuit and component changes alter tone. I could even see...

    The BE50 is loud AF. I only use it through my PS2 direct these days, but when I had a space to hook it up to my Friedman 4x12, it was insane. I usually ran it between 3 and 5 on the MV. Very musical though even when it was giving me tinnitus.

    Friedman Master Volume

    Not my BE50. What I've noticed is the BE channel's gain and MV controls are very interactive, and running the gain lower means you can crank the MV more to get a different tone. I find the best dynamics are with the MV at at least 50% and variable gain depending on taste.

    Real Friedman BE-50 or Axe-Fx 3?

    What you get with the Axe3 is a level of flexibility no amp (unless, like you offered, you spend a ton more money on accessories) can cover. You can use it for live or direct recording (or both, simultaneously). You could get a Fryette Power Station 2 and rack along with the Axe 3 for less than...

    Any news on the Fryette LXII?

    The main reason I'm interested is the 1U formfactor. Frees up space in my rack. I wonder what results the touring bands that are "beta testing" it have had.

    Wish Wish List: New Amps

    I'm curious where Cliff may (or may not) be at with new amp modeling. It seems to have been a while since new amps have appeared in the Axe3. There is plenty, but as I found with amps like the Bogner Goldfinger SL and Fryette Memphis, there are some outstanding amps out there that have no...

    Any news on the Fryette LXII?

    This is correct. I confirmed with the Wayback Machine, it's been up since 2015. In effect, it's still vaporware.

    Fryette Powerstation 2 Users

    I've done this on the Axe 3. Basically my patch had one amp set for FRFR to FOH and the other set to be used with the PS2 and a 1x12 cab. It worked pretty well. You obviously lose the extra amp block, but you can always use channels to get around that if you need to switch. It's just tedious...

    Has the Axe changed your tonal palette?

    I think what originally started me down the dynamics road were some very old clips back in the early 2000s on Harmony Central of the Bogner Ecstasy Blue channel. Once I heard those I was like "What was that?!" Then I found out it was the Ecstasy and I cried when I saw the price :) I never...

    Has the Axe changed your tonal palette?

    I've been playing for about 20 years now. Started off like many folks back in the 90s with a garbage Strat copy and "amp" (heavy emphasis on the quotes) package bought off of eBay. I quickly progressed to a tube amp (the Peavey Ultra 212, which I think one of my old friends still owns), and have...

    Axe-Edit III 1.01.07

    I'm having problems with this version on Win10. It appears it's not playing nice with Windows 10's DPI scaling on external monitors as it's impossible to click on menu selections under certain circumstances (such as picking a block, or choosing an amp from the amp block).

    Fractal Audio AMP models: CA Tucana (Carol-Ann Tucana 3)

    Bringing this thread back in light of the new modeling. Just built a patch around it last night and I have to say, it's smooth. I liked this amp before (it was my primary in the Axe 2 for a year or so), but I like it better now. I'm curious if people have found good "roll off the volume" sounds...
