    New v.10 UBER, impressions, opinions?

    It makes me very happy to see this new uber model, and it does have that signature uberschall growl where the old one didn't IMO. Still trying to figure out the best mic configuration for it though, thats something that gives me a gigantic headache. Any suggestions?

    Difficulty getting pure, undistorted signal in Ultra

    my guess is you're clipping the output of your active pickups' preamps. try reducing the pickup height. great thing about axe fx is you dont really need to worry about the output drop in doing so, just turn the input 1 knob up a bit.

    Great news it seems!

    Best Sounding Live Rig

    Theres another thread in the general discussion explaining the wet/dry/wet, but i'll briefly explain. And BTW i didnt really mean wdw would be better for heavier music, just that (IMO) a lot of heavy rock/heavy metal tone is having loud cabs on stage in addition to the mic'd sound coming out of...

    Best Sounding Live Rig

    indeed. i've never actually tried it so take this with a massive grain of salt.. more like a whole crystal, but i'd be tempted to say if you're into heavier styles, a wet dry wet rig with a 4x12 as the "dry" might be a tad better than frfr. or just into board, and tap off into a 4x12. just...

    Wet/Dry/Wet Rigs?

    that would make the output mono. in iether event L and R will be the exact same signal. sum, obviously, means both the L and R axe channel are summed and go to both outputs. copy L to R would mean the right channel is irrelevant and whatevers coming out of axe left will now be coming out of both...

    Better than Reality - Axe-FX Can Be Like Optimized Reality

    Re: Better than Reality - Axe-FX Can Be Like Optimized Reali Yes it certainly would, but there ARE people who just wont lose the tubes. Hell i havent totally lost my interest in tubes. Just cause they're cool! I still build amps and stuff. I'm serious though, I think its a brilliant idea! :)...

    Axe Fx Standard Question

    TBH i can't answer your main question but as a standard owner who went through the exact same thought process it might be worth mentioning a couple things that i wish i'd considered: 1) ultra = two pitch shifters instead of one. Thats harmonizer and detune for example... certainly something i...

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    lol. BTW for the krank enthusiasts - the biggest difference between the krankenstein and the rev is the kleen channel. The gain channel is very very similar. If a krankenstein and rev side by side with all controls the same sound different, its probably the eminence ledgends vs texas heats...

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    glad i'm not the only one who likes the kranks. the krank kleen channel is ripped directly off of a fender amp IIRC, but i do not remember which fender amp (if i'm even remembering correctly). really glad people are with me on this one, a new uber model would save me from the desire to spend...

    Question about the "envelope" controller

    lol indeed. Had a feeling. Thanks very much

    Question about the "envelope" controller

    Hello all, Okay, so what envelope exactly does the envelope follower detect? Left? Right? Sum? Highest? Row 1? what? And is it the envelope at the input of the axe-fx or the envelope at the input of whatever block the envelope control is attached to? Thanks guys

    Better than Reality - Axe-FX Can Be Like Optimized Reality

    Re: Better than Reality - Axe-FX Can Be Like Optimized Reali +1 to everything said here. Another good example of axe fx being optimized reality is the FAS amp blocks, which are way underloved. I didn't try them until I heard Mikael Akerfeldt was using them, then I did and I was like "wow". The...

    Keep in mind on the real uber most people take the bass control down cause its an insanely bassy amp. But maybe tighten the Q up a little bit

    Speaking of euro Uber and other high gainers

    No. That is correct. We added tons of extra info because we assumed you were alluding to the fact that it was the axefx's fault, which it is not. That is an accurate representation of what a amp and cab, close mic'd in a padded room, will sound like. To be completely honest its not just high...

    Speaking of euro Uber and other high gainers

    +1. Also, recording direct is basically the same thing as playing FRFR. You gotta listen to that recording through something, and you'd better HOPE its frfr. Arguably differences with volume and room reflections or whatever but the point is, in a real recording theres more going on than just...

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    Thanks man :D, to be honest I don't consider myself to be a highly skilled engineer, i'm 19 years old :P. But I love amps. If I could make a career out of music electronics I'd die happy. I guess its just dedication, not actual skill. Dunno if cliff is interested in the shiva, but feel free to...
  32. H

    Speaking of euro Uber and other high gainers

    Agreed. You must think of your FRFR rig as a mic'd amp in a situation like a live gig (where you're liable to be eq'd) or a studio (where you're GUARANTEED to be EQd). If you want an amp with no other effects and a good modern heavy tone you should look into using a real cab and a poweramp. If...

    That really is a shame you sold that fryette cause I'm actually looking for someone who'll let me borrow amps like fryette/diezel/engl etc to reverse engineer or at least take gut pictures - part of the uber schem i did from pictures which was a bitch but oh well :P anyways yeah this is awesome

    AxeFX Uber Model

    How to get rid of AC30 low end haziness?

    real AC30s don't have a lot of bass at all. Theres a ridiculous coupling capacitor after the first stage (IIRC). My advice would be set the bass really low on the amp, like around 2 maybe.
  36. H

    Speaking of euro Uber and other high gainers

    To be honest any amp model thats supposed to have a lot of preamp gain seems to sound flat with V30s.. Also i forgot to mention room reflections are a huge part of it. Reverb block, turn the pre delay to zero and the early level to -0.0 . Can turn down the reverb level if you want, or leave it...
  37. H

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    Well I certainly hope we get a new uber. I'm gonna send him a powerball schem and a fryette schem too. I'm looking for a local diezel to reverse engineer, but... oh well, I have no money and I live in Toronto :roll:

    Speaking of euro Uber and other high gainers

    no it is not the nature of the beast. the most important thing actually with the high gainers is the cab model. V30s everyone defaults to, except they do not sound good for metal in any impulse response i've come across :P very fizzy. i've bought some redwire impulses. my favourite combination...

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    Well the voodoo part of the schem has been sent to Cliff. maybe he'll have a reworked uber model for us some time in the future!!! I must say though, how many companies do you know where you can do that? I think we've found the company with the best support in the world.

    For those who aren't totally satisfied with euro uber

    tbh i've pieced the majority of it together from... a certain high gain amp cloning forum (not sure what the rules about telling you would be)... i can send cliff the schem if he wants. theres nothing particularly clever in the preamp really its all the NFB loop. The schem was collected from a...

    Hello everyone, I've seen some discussion here about getting a reworked uber patch and all that jazz... seems like the uber isn't doing it for some people. Don't get me wrong, its brutal as **** but nevertheless its not completely uberschall sounding. I've just found a schematic of the...

    Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ Block

    Whoa looks like i opened up a can o worms. I thikn the reason cliff doesnt want to seperate the preamp and poweramp simulations (aka he doesnt want to add an effects loop to the amp block) is because if the poweramp can be isolated its a lot easier to reverse engineer. He has a point, and this...

    Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ Block

    We have GEQs and PEQs already, but what about a MEQ or similar (Mark graphic EQualizer)? I realize the chance is probably slim because "you can get the same sounds with the PEQ", but in practice the amount of boost/cut and the Q (which i believe changes with additional boost/cut) never end up...

    Can we get a reworked Uber model?

    Yeah unfortunately I have to agree with the rest of you. I love my axe just like anybody else, but the uber model does not sound like an uberschall in my opinion. Its the only model on the whole thing that I really don't like.

    What is the best connection routing for 2 units Axefx ?

    Thats a really good question. To be honest there isn't a best way, there are ways that allow you to do what you want, and ones that dont. If all the cables are short, it doesn't matter too much which outputs are routed to which inputs. If you're using the two just for extra processing power, my...

    Linking 2 ultras with spdif ?

    its not possible to use output 2 as digital (unfortunately). it is possible to link two ultras in a daisy chain using spdif however i dont know how well it will work. how well it will work will depend entirely on how well the two internal clocks sync up. If you have two ultras or a friend with...

    Multi-tracking guitar parts emulation w/ the Axe

    I used to desperately want a way to reproduce this effect. I realized something though: In the studio its not that much work to actually just double track the part, and live it would almost be better for the sake of clarity just to have 1 track. With two guitarists its basically a non-issue...

    A question about the multiple ins and outs

    you can plug two guitars into the axe fx. you can use the front INSTR jack and the rear right jack together or the two rear inputs. I'm not sure if you should set it to analog front or analog rear. If you have a guitar with active pickups, or one going through a buffer like a non-true bypass...
