    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Release Candidate 2 (Beta 8)

    I played a real JVM410H for some years. The clean and crunch tones were great, but I was never really happy with the lead channel. Always missed some attack and character in the OD2. I mainly used the OD1 channel and a Xotic Booster for Lead. Best Marshall sounds I ever had were with a rig...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.00

    Of course it's much easier and quicker to experiment with 'simulated' tubes, by just changing the parameters in the axe. I remember messin' around with different tubes in my (real) Vox, Marshall, Fender, Soldano etc. amps. It cost me a lot of money, time and nerves(!). One of the best...

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 11 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #8

    Yeah, ten years ago I'd have declared everyone a liar who'd tell me this was made with a 'modelling amp'

    Collecting guitars for fun. Thoughts?

    Thanks, you make me feel better. My score is 17 guitars hanging on the wall and there is no one I would like to sell at the moment, because they're all different. Good guitars are several values in one thing: A fine piece of wood, a piece of craftwork and something to actively express your...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 13.00 Public Beta

    Indeed, the drive blocks sound much better with v13 ! I had drive blocks in many presets, but didn't make much use of them - the sound became too scratchy and kind of flat. With V13, I tried playing a few songs with the drive block on (after doing some tweaks) and had fun .....

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.11

    I really like the AxeFX III - I have two of them. Before these, I also owned 2 Axe-FX II XL and one Axe-FX II. Almost everything is possible with the new HW/FW. On the other hand, I get a little bit tired of downloading new FW every few weeks and re-adjusting all my presets. I mean, my tube...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.03

    We got so much pressure on our ears in the 70s and especially the 80s, from 'real' amps on stage and even in the studio. I wouldn't trust them - let's say above 12 KHz .....

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.03

    I spent some time yesterday, trying 12.03: Some amp models appeared kind of fresher, more 3-dimensional, hard to describe. But something happened ....

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.02 Public Beta #5 (Beta_4)

    With reduced latency and no audio drop-outs when changing presets/scenes, you can leave axe-edit active all the time when playing. Great. Now I'm waiting for the new axe-edit release to cover the new flanger block ....

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.02 Public Beta #5 (Beta_4)

    Oh, the audience. "No, no guitar amps can't be tube amps, these are long gone - we live in a world of computers and smart phones" Or: "Why do you own more than three guitars? You can only play one at time ..."

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.02 Public Beta #3 (Beta 2)

    Preset/scene changes with almost no latency and no drop-outs when Axe-Edit is active. Long awaited. Preamp modeling sounds better to me with 11.02 beta 1 ...

    Post Axe-Fx III Launch ... Amp Model Requests

    Marshall JCM800 2205 (still used by Michael Schenker). I had one in the 80s - great amp, still miss it.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 10.00 Public Beta #2

    The future of the Axe-Fx is not only to come always closer to the sound of real (tube-)amps. Pretty soon it will be "just create a new fantastic guitar sound" - without necessarily following an example ....

    The "Modelers Don't Clean Up with the Volume Knob" Myth

    Bug? Preamp bias not saved

    My Axe-Fx II XL doesn't store changed Preamp Bias values with FW 5.02 . All other values in presets can be saved and remain set after recall of the preset.

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 2.01 Firmware Release

    I was quite happy with all my presets at fw level 2.0 - but 2.01 is not my cup of tea! I restored 2.0 and look forward to 2.02 ...... :rolleyes:

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

    I own two Axe-Fx XL which I hold in-sync in terms of firmware and presets. I had quantum 1.0 in my rig at home for a week and did minor corrections to the presets, but listened to it only across the headphones. Yesterday I loaded the new firmware and my presets into my Axe-Fx at the rehearsal...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

    It's all about dynamics. The Axe-Fx became better and better in this regard. I kept my tube amps for a while, but now it might be the time to sell them ...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware V12.00 Up

    Great Update! Remember to manually set 'Modelling Version' to 12.xx in Global - it doesn't change automatically when powering up. The new 'Modeling Mode' option is another step to perfection. Thanks Cliff!
