    Old Katana Head Great Power amp option IMHO

    Agree :) I have one and use it as a pure PA (FX return) wit my twin-clone 3 tubes clean preamp + pedals in front. It sounds really good as it is an class AB . I push the Master to full, on 0.5W, and use a Captor X to attenuate and record or just play with IR.

    Hi guys, stupid question: where is the "Proximity" level knob in DynaCab? just see the "Proximity Freq". Is the "Proximity" equivalent to "Distance" (DIstance at 0 is Proximity maxed out ?) ?

    Are FullRes IRs just for AITR sounds?

    AFX3 Mk1 here. Just tried it, and...hmmm... not convinced for my home use. I found not that much difference with the reverb block well parameterized as exposed in a thread. It's a tonal option, and that's great. To be used according to our tastes :)

    Axe-Fx III as Interface for Teams calls etc.

    Yes it needs a DAW (I have reaper) install SAR in Windows in the DAW: refer to SAR as the ASIO driver in the DAW in the DAW: associate your real interface driver (MOtu 828es for me, or can be the FAS driver) to SAR define your SAR IN/OUT these IN/OUT are available in any other apps (Teams...

    Axe-Fx III as Interface for Teams calls etc.

    I route my audio I/O from my Motu 828es (not the AFX3n but would be the same principle) to Zoom using SAR (Synchronous audio Router) limiting drastically the latency, which was an issue for me with "Virtual Cable". You set SAR as the ASios driver and inside SAR parameter, set real interface to...

    I Vote for the 32 FR. enought room in User 1...at least for me :) :) With 32 IRs everyone can cover a great ground of tone, no ??

    Not a sacrifice for me to free some space for new IRs tech leading to better quality/reality in tone. So I vote for applying to Mk1 :)

    Setting up AFX3 as a USB Interface and Computer System Audio?

    I usualy use the AFX3 as interface to run in reaper some plugins such as EZ drummer for instance. To not have too much latency and glitches you must have a good CPU, as usual with audio interfaces. with my I7 I have a 64 sample latency with AFX3 drivers and its fine (around 3ms in reaper).

    thanks for the preset. Found it with a tad too much gain. Decreased gain to 2.5 and found it great. I have some standard level output PU around 9K, so not hot and just with the guitar volume largely enought gain/grit.
