    Anyone else try The Amp Factory's Fender Room Mix IR?

    TAF's Fender Room Mix IR that came with FW14 is incredible with the Double Verb factory preset (preset #4). I've always found modelers to be a bit thunky in the mids on Fender sounds, but with this IR I'm getting bouncy bass, clear mids with delicate and sparkly highs - with a Tele it's perfect.

    Dyn Presence and Dyn Depth - who's using them?

    Try turning Dynamic Presence and Dynamic Depth up or down and play for a while - then turn them to 0 and see how what your used to playing 'feels'. Also try different settings for Presence and Depth with Dynamic Presence and Dynamic Depth (try turning Depth up and Dynamic Depth down and Dynamic...

    Warren Haynes on Axs channel.

    Right now he's performing Steely Dan's 'Pretzel Logic' - outstanding cover! Nice to see how he let's the rest of the band shine.

    Amp matching with a spectrum analyzer

    This thread is an offshoot of the "Tone matching the internal cab" which started getting into using white noise vs pink noise vs sine sweep to tone match. I was getting different results from each source, Cliff had some recommendations as the results from each test signal should be similar. So...

    Austin Speaker Works KTS-70 open/closed back and Vox Blue

    When IRs and TMAs were announced for the Axe my first thought was "What mic and mic preamp do I need", since then I've acquired a few more mics and few decent preamps. I shot IR's using each of 8 mics with each of 2 preamps of an Austin Speaker Works KTS-70 in an Avatar closed back 1x12 and...

    Upload zip of IRs to AxeChange

    Is it or will it be possible to upload a zip of IRs to Axe Change? I understand Fractal would want to limit the file types to keep people from having a zip with dangerous contents so it could be possible when uploading to select more than 1 IR then have AxeChange put them in a zip. I could...

    Dual mic with Tone Match

    Setting Input 2 to Stereo you can connect a mic and mic preamp to the Right and Left inputs on Input 2 and each gets it's own meter so you can see the relative levels (setting Input 2 to Sum L+R the inputs are summed before the meter). I was experimenting today trying to capture the boxy sound...

    Bongo? did you make it through the fires? Worried about you!

    Bongo posted here last week that he had been evacuated due to the Colorado wildfires. Haven't heard anything since. I'm pulling for you and keeping you in my thoughts. Best of luck and let us know if you need anything.

    Avatar 112 w/ Austin Speaker Works KTS-70

    I shot these today with a Matrix GT800FX into an Avatar Traditional 112 closed back with an Austin Speaker Works KTS-70. Mic was an Earthworks TC-30 using the mic pre in a MOTU Ultralite. Various mic placement and a couple were shot at much lower volume to see how the IR picked up the speaker's...

    Are you changing Tonestack Type from Passive?

    Tonestack Type (Tone tab on Axe Edit, Amp Block last page on Axe) defaults to Passive, but there's a tonestack in the list for most models and using them adds a lot of the character of the real amp. Are you using them? Any suggestions for a tonestack for the Buttery model?

    Austin Speaker Works KT-70 Warning: Non-FRFR content

    An Austin Speaker Works KTS-70 arrived over a year ago just as I was leaving town for 3 months - I just stumbled across it. Put it in an Avatar 1x12 closed back cab, connected to the Matrix GT800FX, turned off Cab sims, pulled up the ODS-100 Lead and whoa!!!!! With the Matrix pushing around...

    Is it me or do threads go off topic or get emotional somewhere on or after the 3rd page.

    The AxeII and sleep deprivation

    My Kemper arrived last week and every time I plug in I hear something that makes me want to see how the Axe handles the same sound - then I can't stop playing the Axe. I'll admit I haven't spent enough time with the Kemper to really try it out, but last night < 5 minutes with the Kemper before...

    3.02 initial impression

    Finally reunited with my AxeII and upgraded to 3.02. There are amps that I regret selling - Bogner Ecstasy, Soldano, Dr. Z Maz, and amps I own Mesa Mark IV/V, Diezel VH-4, that I've not been drawn to in the Axe - after playing the real thing and feeling what made these amps iconic, the Axe...

    Ultra sighting! Widespread Panic on Austic City Limits

    Watching right now, the Ultra is getting a lot of camera time - some really good close ups of the Axe-Fx! Jimmy Herring has 2 Fuchs Tripledrives and in the middle is an Ultra with a Crown power amp sitting on a Marshall cabinet (he has a stereo Marshall cab). Sounding damn good!

    GT800FX - what guitar cabs and PA cabs have you used it with?

    I'm about to take the plunge on the GT800FX, what guitar cabs/speakers and what un-powered PA speakers & monitors have you used it with. What are your experiences with different cabinets? I've got a couple Mesa Thiele's w/ EV-12L's and am thinking about the EV-LiveX or JBL unpowered monitor...

    'Wrecker' AxeII version 2 firmware

    I've been so hopeful about a Trainwreck model and since the Ultra I've played around with the Wrecker patch but never been blown away. With version 2 that's changed! If anyone has any doubt about touch sensitivity and modelling - upgrade to version 2 and pull up 'Wrecker'. After cranking...

    Kemper price and availability

    Just heard from Sweetwater that the first shipment of Kempers is expected on Aug. 30 or 31st. But the price has jumped from $1,500 to $1,850!!! I felt the $1,500 price was reasonable when compared to the Axe which had the reputation to command a higher price, but $1,850 for an unknown...
