    How I rework my preset with new firmware 7.00 - Live Stream Totorial

    Well... This has been a game changer for me. Thanks a lot, Marco! On the first attempt I was not impressed at all with dynacabs. I tried to replicate my main tone but... meh... Not that good as using legacy IRs. But after watching your video I just tried again, not trying to replicate the exact...

    Which FRFR? Is it worth it?

    I received the Elis.8 bundle some days ago and cannot be happier. More mid-focused than my Yamaha DXR10 and less bassy... way more open, defined and clear. Definitely, the feel is closer to a regular guitar cabinet than any other FRFR solution I've tested so far. More "plug and play". And even...

    Wish Increase of possible song sections

    Just thinking out loud... My assumption is that there is no memory available for the setlist implementation, but maybe there is some for the FC features. When setting a FC switch for Song Section Inc/Dec, you can also select "wrap/no wrap"... I don't know if a new option "no wrap/next song"...

    FM3 Solo 88 - the ultimate shred machine???

    Never is too late for getting rid of any hint of musicality you may have had, and embrace the mantra "more is more... how could less be more?!?!?!?" jk, don't take this too seriously!!! :sweatsmile: This is just the preset "083 - Solo 88". Scene 3, amp drive at 5 and cab hi cut at 9kHz and...

    Since lot of people seem to ask for more straight ahead access to its most used page, how about the below "custom order" approach? And being able to define which page will be the "homepage" would do this feature much more useful IMHO... Something like: page 1 -> preset list page 2 -> scenes...

Not the best low end, but it will be the same with the Mackie and the behringer, I'm afraid. For that price range is a no brainier imo. I've used it also for...

    Factory preset banks for FM3 firmware 1.06 and later

    Definitely, I'm that factory-presets kind of guy... When developing a new tone, I always use a factory preset as starting point. That's why from the very begining I auditioned all the factory presets and scenes to classify them using different colors from FM3-edit (high gain, rock/hairy, crunch...

    When until the FM3 features catches up to the Axe III?

    It has been stated several times that the FM3 is not an AxeIII with different form factor. So the most straight answer would be: "never, because the FM3 is not an AxeIII with different form factor" Hopefully, the FM3 is a state-of-the-art piece of gear, and it is amazing as is, even if no...

    Implemented Secondary tap function for footswitches

    I was curious yesterday so I tried your suggestions... But I realized that whilst tapping on a preset FS it indeed recalls the preset to its original status, the behaviour with scene FS differs, and the original scene status is not recalled, so once used it remains useless. So now I'm curious if...

    Implemented Secondary tap function for footswitches

    Thanks a lot chris! quite helpful that layout links suggestion, that will do the trick for sure. Will require some rearrangement of the layouts/views but you're right, and at the end of the day it can be done. I was really used to tap the footswitch of the current preset for tap tempo, and this...

    Implemented Secondary tap function for footswitches

    I don't know if this has been already requested... or maybe is already possible, but I haven't found anything about it, so... When using presets or secenes layouts, once you have selected a particular scene, it would be great to have a secondary function on that footswitch. I mean, if I've used...

    FM3: G66 availability?

    Not trying to be a drama queen, but...

Maybe...

    How to reduce pick attack?

    Turn down your guitar's volume pot a little... Some point about 8/10 should work, depending on the pickup. Picks and picking technique, as said, are also crucial... Working on the source is way more effective than trying to fix it by eq'ing or so. Pick attack doesn't use to be centered around an...

    Alto TS212W, Yamaha DXR10 or Mackie 12BST???

    It's done!!! Since I was unable to find a CLR mk1 in Spain, I went for a Yamaha DXR10. Wow, what a great piece of gear for the budget!!! It's ridiculously loud, can manage low end really good for a 10" speaker, the contour control and HP filter do the work perfectly. As stated on other...

    Alto TS212W, Yamaha DXR10 or Mackie 12BST???

    Thank you, mates!!! I've been looking for more reviews on Mackie Thumb, and while it seems pretty tweakeable, it doesn't seem a good choice for guitar modelers... too boomy and not so defined according to people comments. I think I'll try to find a CLR mkI. I didn't take the CLR into account...

    glad you like it, Sean!!! Amp is the Herbie Ch3, cabs are F038 (4x12 1960A G12M RW) and F047 (4x12 German V30 RW), plus delay and enhance. Indeed, I used a patch shared by Richard Hallebeek (he's really awesome and one of my favourite players). Great for fusion tones but pretty versatile for...

    How do you drop your pitch a half or whole step?

    Coming Soon

    I think the comparison isn't fair enough... FX8 is not a stombox, it's a multiFX processor, and to be honest, lot of multieffects out there have a dedicated headphones output. Anyway, implement such a common feature shouldn't be expensive, I think... maybe I'm wrong...
