    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 2.02 Firmware Release

    Bug? LFO1 acting weird in latest Beta

    Ok, just installed the latest update--unfortunately didn't fix the problem--BUT, have discovered another part of the puzzle which may b significant. I stated above that the LFO seemed to react to amplitude--I decided to mess with the ADSR1 parameters to see if if had any effect. Turns out it...

    Bug? LFO1 acting weird in latest Beta

    Hey, thanks for checking on it Iakesse--In answer to your questions--No, Axe-Edit isn't running, (and FWIW neither MFC or USB is connected). Also re: "3 or 4 bar tempo"--On the LFO control page theres that parameter TEMPO (second from the bottom) which enables you to set rates by musical...

    Bug? LFO1 acting weird in latest Beta

    I'm having some strange things happen when using Lfo1 on the latest Beta software. Problem may be confined to patches made on earlier software, as when I go to completely blank new patch and add a block to test Lf01 everything seems to operate as expected. I thought it might just be a corrupt...

    Fractal Audio AMP models: 6G4 Super ('60 Fender brownface Super, 6G4)

    So: What is the best way to make your guitar sound like a bass?

    I've tried the pitch block ideas noted here--but never liked them that much (latency and flubbyness).
