    Dyna-cab, general consensus is that they're "better" than legacy?

    100% traditional IRs. I haven't been in love with any of the dynacabs I tested versus traditional IRs, unfortunately.

    What do people mean when they say modelers "lack the amp feel"?

    In my experience with clients and friends, they were usually comparing the sound and feel of the amp through a 6" studio speaker versus a 4x12 cab. The amount of air they are moving is wildly different you could "feel" your picking hand add weight to the sound. Conversely, however, if you run a...

    Why are so many people not relying on their ears anymore?

    The greatest asset of the Fractal stuff is the same as it's greatest weakness... you have access to all the stuff under the hood that a person that mods amps for a living does. Put that in the hands of someone who has never had access to such things and you are bound to have some terrible...

    AFIII New tune 4 years in the making. Mix of Axefx2 and Axefx3 tones. Progressive metal/rock.

    Hey all! I wrote this one 4 years ago and couldn't find a singer to save my life. Finally found a great one and released this tune today! Rerecording some of the parts lost some of the feel so I went back to the original tones which I felt were fine even after 4 years :D Verse clean tones are...

    Why not Rivera?

    I'd love to see modern amps such as REVV, KSR, etc... Seems like we have mostly older designs in the AXE. Not complaining, mind you. I have all I need. I just wonder why the more modern stuff isn't in there.

    Struggling to replicate this amazing tone, help please....

    use an OD pedal, maybe no amp and definitely no cab... you can probably get close. This is not an amp.

    Cliff updates the presets and usually pins them in this forum. Transfer with the bot, per usual, and just tell it what to overwrite.

    Moving backward?

    hey if you like it then you do you! We all have different ears. Personally, I like Cygnus much more and think it was the most significant update since the afx3 came out. Haha!

    A

    You'll definitely want to update your presets to the latest firmware... afx2 patches will absolutely not sound right on afx3 and are not meant to. Second thing to consider... not all these patches were created by people with a good ear for tone and most of them are done with a completely...

    Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

    Can there just be two separate downloads for 17? One for folks that are ok with losing the 1000 user slots (seriously, who really uses that many?) and folks that do not want AITR?
  20. erockomania

    Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

    It is rare I use more than a dozen IRs so this wouldn't bother me a tiny bit. I'd rather have 32 IRs that increase the potential of the axe than load 1000 IRs I will likely check out once and forget about.

    Bricasti m7 reverb vs the axefx3?

    The Bricasti is a world class Reverb used by many of the highest end studios around the world. It's almost unfair to compare them. Sure the verbs are pretty good on the Axe but it's not going to get you the same results as a world class, purpose built reverb.
  22. erockomania

    AITR

    Although this sounds pretty cool and would likely be more fun to play when just practicing in the recording studio, I'd likely rarely use them in a mix. I've never sought out that "amp in the room" thing because that is not going to happen when you are comparing playing live through a 4x12 cab...

    Completely lost with Cygnus high gain tones

    yup... for the BE and HBE it works. I usually go 80hz To be clear I am talking about input EQ. I add the bass back in depth or post EQ which is tighter.
  34. erockomania

    Completely lost with Cygnus high gain tones

    yes, BE and HBE were not up to par for me either and they were my faves for years. Once I used low cut anywhere between 500-1000 the low end tightened up significantly and the feel was much less squashed. Now they are usable again but I cannot say they are my faves anymore.

    AFIII Cygnus Cameron. Warmoth Strat. Skervesen Bass. Groovy goodness!

    Thank you! Yes, drum programming can be tedious. How I like to do it is just program basic beats for the most parts, write the song out and then program fully once the instrumentation is all there. That is much more fun and allows it to be it's own thing (like a drummer) rather than going back...

    Axe-Fx III clean amp sounds compared to Kemper cleans

    My take is that the AXEFX3 tones... especially cleans, which I've always thought were a little lacking, are the biggest improvement Fractal has made since the 2. They are really fun to play. Very responsive. The Kemper are great but you are 100% reliant on the captures by 3rd party whivh can be...
