    Need help with Bass guitar settings

    May be a stupid question, but do you have a compressor in there before the amp block? If not, put one in and it'll level things out for you. Also, the 60, 125, and 250 EQ settings have this general effect with bass. 60 too high will make the bottom end smooth, and boomy. 125 too high will...

    Cool man, that's great to hear. I've been changing them now and then to keep up with current firmware as well. You know, I still have my 2101 in the closet. I could try to sell it I guess, but I have this sentimental attachment to it. I used it for years before I got the Axe-Fx Ultra. I'm...

    Pick attack reduction?

    Dunlop Stubby picks would reduce your pick attack considerably since they're thicker, and angled to the point. Might just give you what you're looking for without having to mess with too many other settings. They work really well for that style of playing.

    Check the cabs. The cabs in the Axe-III are different and in different factory slots, so you'll have to re-select the one(s) you were using before in each preset, or just select new ones if you find something you like better. If you were using user cabs, then you'll have to make sure they're...

    [closed] Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 6.00

    I know man, sorry about that. Just wanted to say that since mine worked, there may be another reason that yours and HTR's didn't. I'm not using any globals, nor do I have a foot controller hooked to mine. Hope you guys can track down the issue, whatever it is. :(

    Upgrade or not.

    As far as I know, Quantum 4 had nothing to do with the cab sims. I don't even know why that was mentioned. The only major improvements to the cab sims themselves has been the advent of ultra res.

    Dunno what to tell you on that one. Do you have the power amp sim enabled, or are you running through an external tube power amp?

    Upgrade or not.

    You're not hearing a difference because 4.0 doesn't automatically update the modeling version in the presets to the latest modeling version. If you want to hear what 4.0 sounds like, you need to go to the advanced page in the amp block and set the modeling version on the amp to "Latest". You...

    Or use a null filter block after the amp instead of a cab block and set it to roll off the lows between 60-75Hz (to taste) and the highs anywhere you like below 6.5KHz (to taste). The low end roll off will tighten up the bottom end for you.
