Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 9.01

I was late for work because I couldn't pull myself away from my guitar. The gain enhancer is fun fun fun!

Don't take the Axe-Fx III for granted! (Tried Line6 Helix)

That being said, I've only got to play with a Helix for a short time... so perhaps given more time I could learn to like it more. But with the Axe-Fx III, I fell in love the second I turned it on and flipped through the included presets. It only got better once I started creating my own and...

Don't take the Axe-Fx III for granted! (Tried Line6 Helix)

I freaking love my Axe-Fx III. I've tried all sorts of digital products, including a slew of Line6 stuff. I'm kind of a tech junkie. Don't get me wrong, I can eventually get a usable tone with practically anything, but, in the end, the experience and the feel of everything else just doesn't do...

Uh-oh, white screen... Should I be worried?

I asked here because I did open a ticket via support (right after I said I would up above) and was told by Matt Picone that I would be helped on Monday when their technician was back. I sent back an email saying 'Thanks. Sounds good." or something like that. I then almost immediately got another...

Uh-oh, white screen... Should I be worried?

Cliff, I appreciate you chiming in but I'm curious what you're thinking is. Why should I not be concerned? Are you thinking it's a software issue like 666was999 suggested instead of a flaky display or loose connection? Is there a known bug in the firmware that might cause this or something?

Uh-oh, white screen... Should I be worried?

I was playing guitar with my son the other day and was looking directly at my Axe-Fx III when the display slowly and unevenly faded to all white with this sort of fizzy, misty distortion. (That's not a terribly good description of what it looked like but I'm not sure how to describe it.) When it...

Axe-Fx III Manual Update

I see that the tone match section points to the Axe-Fx II mini guide. Will there be an updated mini guide specific for the III at some point?

Tone Match on the III

Also, I want to point out that I never owned a II. I just read and watched stuff on the II to try to figure out how to get it to work on the III.

Tone Match on the III

I've played with it a bit. It seems mostly the same process as with the II. I'd still like an updated guide or something in the manual that was specific to the changes and controls specific to the III.

Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.05

I think I'm seeing similar. If I am on a preset where the Wah block's modifier is set to Pedal 1 then the block will be active upon initial boot of the Axe-Fx III. If I switch to another preset and back, the Wah block will now be disabled. If I change the Wah's modifier to External 1 I will no...

Patches - XL conversion to II

In short because the algorithms of the amps, cabs and effects are a separate issue than the patch format. Let me elaborate on my best guess: The algorithms for the amps and effects are the same on the Mark I/II and XL but the XL has additional features that the Mark I/II don't have such as...

Question about Advanced Amp Parameters and new amp creation

The advanced params are more like the ultimate modder tools. Let's you do mods that are possible in the real world but that might be difficult or expensive to do. They also let you do things that are potentially not possible in the real world (like used idealized components and the like.) The...

Closest I think I'll ever get to the fear factory tone - NO TONE MATCH

I totally agree with Shotgunn about the first clip sounding better. In fact, I'm amazed at how Fear Factory-esque it sounds. I love Fear Factory and you nailed that Demanufacture tone. It is amusing that we're cloning Fear Factory tones with an Axe-FX II though. (not that I'm complaining! In...
