    Possibly, just a rumor I heard, that he has gone back to the late 1950's to check some "new" amps just developed to verify his models. He should be back any yesterday ...... soon!!!

    Has Fractal Audio's amp algorithm ever been verified by "Null test"?

    I watch and listen to the various tests and comparisons. Could care less what you or they think. After years of dialing in an Axe-FX II, and now my Axe-FX III, I get the sounds I want, when I want them, how I want them. Null test that! :p

    Are new amps really needed?

    Because Cliff and Team have so advanced the amp modeling process I look at my Axe as the best place to use historic unique amps that are not affordable or discontinued. The more the merrier!

    Amp in the room tone tutorial

    Spent most of my life in late 60's, early 70's, seeking the guitar/amp tone from all those classic guitar rock albums. Cabinets in closets, other rooms, a garage, on a porch even! The Axe-Fx gives me that almost effortlessly. Not going back to boomy, muddled "amp in the room," tone without a...

    Difference in Drive Block vs Drive within Amp Block?

    Axe-Fx III and FM3 and FM9 — You can choose between many different input boost types. These all act as clean boosts, replicating the oft-used “Drive on 0, adjust Level as desired” boost technique. This allows boosting the Amp block without requiring a separate Drive block. The difference between...

    Use another AMP with the Power section disabled as the drive. Can't much more gain.

    Take a Plexi 100 and put a Plexi 50 in front of it as added gain stages, but in the 50w turn OFF the power amp portion. Play as you will with levels/EQ, etc. Play with tubes, bias, etc. You too can be Jose! And with the Axe, never worry about the mystical, musical blue smoke!

  90. VegasGuitar

    It's 2021 and the FC-12 display still looks like garbage

    Been thinking about this while sitting at my Axe and FC-12, and I believe it is because I use a standardized FC-12 layout for EVERY preset. I "know" what each button is going to give me, so reading the labels is less important. Won't work for everyone, but me be happy!
  91. VegasGuitar

    It's 2021 and the FC-12 display still looks like garbage

    My layout is as you describe, Scenes across the top, 1 to 6, effects on the bottom row, including a press & hold BOOST. Preset increment switches are external to the FC-12, but stuck to the frame.

    6' and slightly over half the time sitting in a high chair, barely able to just touch the front edge of FC-12. If I want to hit a switch, I roll forward and then back. But when standing, much further back until I need to place foot on switch. Also, my "Bright" is set to only 75%.
  94. VegasGuitar

    It's 2021 and the FC-12 display still looks like garbage

    II have no issues or problems with the my FC-12 display, and I have to wear glasses. Can't operate a switch from 8' away, and have no issue remembering the layout.
