    (SOLVED) Feedback Send/Return FW21.01

    I worked it out. I had phase invert enabled on the delay (2290 style) and it was cancelling itself out in the feedback when it got back to the delay since it wasn't stereo which negated any feedback at all..

    (SOLVED) Feedback Send/Return FW21.01

    Not sure if this recently broke with 21.01 or earlier, but I noticed my patches where I send a signal back using the feedback send/return seem broken (the feedback blocks). Would anyone mind cooking a simple patch with feedback through a phaser or pitch block then back into the delay and verify...

    Plus Distortion Broken? FW19.05

    I hadn't really played with that distortion model and my unit is in a rack in the closet (I selected it via AxeEdit). It does sound normal cranking the volume but it startled me at first as I went from a Rat to the Plus at default volume and thought the unit stopped working!

    Plus Distortion Broken? FW19.05

    Not sure if this is a regression or it's been busted a long time but the Plus Distortions model is so quiet I thought it was passing no sound. I figure around 18db quieter compared to the Rat Distortion model. I've tried changing other models to the 1N270 rectifier (although it makes the other...

    I'd just get an Axe II and sell it when your number comes up. You'll probably get what you paid for it. Jumping the wait list, the extra $1000 would just go down the drain.

    Mute Output 1/2 while listening to headphones?

    Something I couldn't get out of the 2XL+, I'd like to mute the output to the near fields (without having to power them off...) to record acoustic guitar. Naturally I'd like to listen to the playback through headphones. Is this routing option available in the III?

    Is there a workaround to 1000ms limit on modifier damp parameter?

    Maybe run it into a delay or looper? Might not be a smooth as an adsr control but you might be able to get the sustain effect at the end of Eruption before it fades. Set feedback to achieve fade time.

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 5.00 Firmware Released

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 5.00 Firmware Released

    I really thought Q5 was a significant upgrade. More than I've felt we've had in a long time. I really heard and felt the difference in my Marshall presets. There's an obvious non-linear decay thing going on behind/between/somewhere in the tone that has me thinking Cliff's nailed the final 1%.

    Pairing the Axe FX 2 with real amps + Suhr reactive load

    I tried this for a little while, but AxeFX sounds better than any plugin I had for effects and is waaaay more flexible with its controllers and matrix, even with a real amp and Suhr load. I still occasionally use my real amp, but after I tone matched it (just the amp not with the speaker) it...

    Pairing the Axe FX 2 with real amps + Suhr reactive load

    I do this exact thing in my home studio. Amp->Suhr Load->AxeFX->computer. It works great. Watch your levels though. I would add that after I tone matched my amp through the load I couldn't hear difference anymore but the real amp feels a little different but it's minuscule.
  25. TubeAmpNut

    It's been an interesting run

    I used to think the same thing about my plexi, where the axe ii just didn't quite feel or sound right. Then I tone matched my plexi using a suhr reactive load. Now I can't hear or feel the difference. And no it's not 45 year old ears or fingers...

    Confused about what amp to use for the mk1 boogie

    Boogie Mark 1 is basically a Princeton with an extra gain stage in front. Try the Prince Tone model with a Tube Pre model in front (turn tube pre PA off). Turn gain all the way up in tube pre and boost output a bit. Should be pretty close.

    Axe FX 2 MK 2 " Input Z " Settings .... some advice needed please ....

    Leave it on "Auto". The AxeFX will choose the appropriate input impedance for the effect or amp you have chosen. Most amps are 1M if you are curious. Some vintage stomp boxes were much less.

    Cliff - Slope resistor?

    I'd think pretty close. My assumption is the tone stack setting selects the slope resistor not default treble cap. The slope resistor sets the width of the EQ scoop and the treble cap sets the center freq. Using this argument, setting a 100w plexi model with a jtm45 tone stack creats a 56k...

    Euro blue/red in plexi mode?

    From above // I would be curious to find out the schematic structure of various tone stacks. i.e. Plexi tone stack is a CF driven by a gain stage with a 820R/0.68u bypassed cathode. Bogner has a simple 1k unbypassed cathode. etc. <--these are guesses. I don't know what cliff chose.

    Euro blue/red in plexi mode?

    It doesn't not. Plexi mode bypasses the 2nd and 3rd (in red channel) gain stages duplicating gain structure of a superlead. Plexi, Blue and Red all use the same tone stack and this is not modified with any switch position. Unless Cliff's model has a bypass cap on the CF stage of the plexi...

    EQ TIPS TO MAKE MY STRAT SOUND MORE VINTAGE.

    A parametric EQ *before* the amp does amazing things too. Just pick a single frequency, bump it to +6db and sweep it up from 200hz to 4000hz and back to find what your in to. Then dial the gain back a few dB. Won't make you noiseless sound vintage, but it does amazing things nonetheless.
